Do you need to upgrade your iDevice?

Hello everybody and welcome at another post. A lot of people think that when their iDevice isn't supported anymore they just have to buy the next generation. In this post we're going to find out if this is true.

Lets take my iPod Touch 4th Generation with iOS 6 for example. It works great, iCloud works, and all tough some apps aren't supported, a lot of apps still are. The hardware is a bit older, the camera is bad, but it works great, and the designs of almost every Apple device looks cool in my opinion. If you like the design of lets say iOS 7 you can easily download a theme. That way it looks like iOS 7 but its still iOS 6 in my case.

The reason why Apple doesn't support all iDevices anymore is just because the hardware is not powerful enough to run the newer operating systems. And that makes sense because its a bit strange if the first iPhone can compete with the iPhone 6+

I hoped you liked this post, it was a bit short today, but I tried my best. If you have questions, send me an e-mail or leave a comment. Thanks for reading and until the next one.

Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8

Hello everybody and welcome at another post. Today I am going to give my opinion about 4 different versions of Windows starting with XP and ending at Windows 8, I want to make clear that this isn't a hate post, its just my opinion.

Lets start with Windows XP. Its the first operating system that I've ever used, and back in the day I really liked it, its very nice to work with, but it is an old operating system. Windows XP was known for its reliability almost every Windows user used Windows XP back in the day, or are still using Windows XP, and I don't blame them for that because its a very cool operating system, and its doing everything great still in 2015 in my opinion, and personally I think its a huge shame that Windows XP isn't supported anymore. Because a lot of applications are dropping Windows XP to, so I think that in two years from now, the operating system is just what OS X Tiger is now, and thats pretty useless for most tasks.

A lot of people say that Windows Vista was a horror to use, but I've never had any problems with it, but when I used the operating system I wasn't al that into computers. I just used my computer for Youtube, school, e-mail and MSN. I didn't like the operating system, but I didn't hate it either. It always ran smooth for me, and the design was really nice at the time. After a while I did get trouble with Windows Vista, my ethernet didn't work really well, and everything was just slowing down. At the time I didn't had a SSD of course, because with a hard drive thats getting fuller and fuller every time its usual for your machine to slow down after a while. When I installed Windows Vista again it worked great. But if your still using Vista now I highly recommend upgrading to Windows 7, the requirements are the same, if not less, and its much more reliable.

Windows 7 was the first operating system that I've used seriously. I started programming on Windows 7, and I was using my computer more often. I was trying to write story's on Windows 7, and I just really enjoyed working with that operating system. In my PowerMac G5, Windows 7 time I was really getting interested in technology, and partly because of Windows 7 this blog started. I really like the operating system, and I use it almost everyday. One of the main reasons is because the school computers run Windows 7, so if I have to make a project for school, I'm doing it on my pc just because I'm sure that it will work because its all Windows. It sounds a bit weird, but I'm sure you all know what I mean. Windows 7 could be my daily operating system, and I think it will be my daily operating system if my MacBook breaks, because I have a tight budget and can't splash 1500 euros on a new MacBook Pro.

Windows 8 is the worst operating system ever in my opinion, it was more touchscreen based, and for people with a keyboard and mouse it was just irritating to use. I'm going to tell you something and that isn't a joke. I had to search Google to find how to shut down the computer. I really hated Windows 8. My brother is using Windows 8 on his laptop, and I just can't figure out how its possible to use, he does everything on it. I'm sure it will work great for some people, but I love simple operating systems, like XP, Ubuntu and OS X. And Windows 8 is everything but simple. So when I gave it a month, but after that month it just kept feeling strange so I downgraded to Windows 7 again.

So again, this isn't a hate post to any version of Windows, I'm just telling my personal experience. Let me know in the comments which version of Windows is your favorite. Thanks for reading and until the next one.


My opinion iMac 27'' Retina 5K Display

Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you guys my opinion about The iMac 27'' Retina 5K Display, also I will tell you guys something about it.
 The iMac 27'' Retina 5K display is of course a really nice Pc, but I think the 5K display is a little bit over rated because you can see the difference between HD and 5K but when your eyes are accustomed to it, it isn't very special anymore. But beside that, the 5K is really awesome, and maybe useful for editing so you can see all the pixels better, but for normal use it isn't needed.
 The iMac 27'' Retina 5K display has very nice specifications,
  • 3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
  • 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
  • 1TB Fusion Drive
  • AMD Radeon R9 M290X 2GB GDDR5
  • Apple Magic Mouse
  • Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
  • Accessory Kit

  • as you can see on the specs it is a really powerful iMac, but I think you need this specification to run the 5K, because I think 5K needs a lot of power. The iMac 5K will be used by editing and Photoshop because it has a really sharp resolution and that is really awesome for editing en Photoshop.


    This was my opinion and some other things about the iMac 27'' Retina 5K Display, I hope you have enjoyed, and I hope you will read my next post too.

    MacBook Pro or MacBook Air

    Hello everybody and welcome at another post. Apple has three laptops, but the most dominating laptops on the market are still de the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, in this post I will give my opinion, so you can deside which is the best for you.

    We're going to start with the top of the line laptop from Apple. The MacBook Pro is a really powerful machine but a very expensive machine. Its very nice to have it on you when you need to run heavy programs on the go. Personally I really like the glass and aluminum design, and I love the keyboard. All tough backlighted keyboards are very common in 2015 its still nice to have it for when your working at a dark place or something. You can buy them in different screensizes and specifications. But the question is can it beat the design of and features of the MacBook Air? Lets find out!

    So the MacBook Air is a lightweight machine with reasonable specs, its not to fast but its not slow either. The laptops look really nice, and in my opinion the design is better than the design from the MacBook Pro. A huge downside for me is the screen. Its not a bad screen, but it isn't Retina, and Retina screens look really nice, the colors are good, and everything looks sharp. The looks the same as the MacBook Pro, but really different at the same time. The MacBook Air is thin, and it gets thinner, it sounds a bit weird but I think the picture will say enough. Its a great laptop for students who need to e-mail, take notes, browse the web and do some casual photo or video editting. The laptop has a great battery life and it will last you for a whole day if you're doing normal things with it.

    As you can see both laptops are great in their own way, so if you want to buy a MacBook, be sure of what you need, because when you know that, I think the choice is pretty clear. Thanks for reading and untill the next one!

    Ascension Day update.

    Hello and welcome to a new update post,
    in this update post I will tell you: we don't post on Ascension Day because it is a kind of Holiday.
    The Friday after Ascension Day we continue posting and than we will post Friday and Saturday and as usual on Sunday we didn't post.


    So this was a really short update,

    Some Setup updates.

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell yo some updates in my setup and I will tell you what I will buy in a year.
    My current setup is a little bit different than my past setup because I use my laptop now as second Pc in my setup, so now I have a Pc with screen and a laptop. The laptop because when I play on my PS3 I can search for something without switching between my HDMI and VGA port.
    The setup I will make about a year is with the next things:

    •  MSI GP60 2PE 230NL Leopard Core i7 4710HQ
    • Innox IVA 08 USB Broadcasting Microphone stand.  
    This are the only two Things I will buy for my new setup, the first thing I want is the MSI laptop, so I can change my current Pc for the laptop because the laptop is a lot faster than my current Pc.
     As some of you know I have a Studio Microphone, and it is really useful when I have a broadcasting stand, so that is the reason I will buy one. 
    When everything is ready I will make a new setup post, so you guys can see what my setup is. 

    I hope you have enjoyed and I hope you will also read my next post.

    Planning some updates

    Hello guys, and welcome at another post. Today I want to talk about every update that I'm planning, and I just want to make clear, those can come soon, but I'n not so rich that I can buy everything,so some updates may come this year, and some won't.

    So I was thinking, I want a more powerfull computer, and the MacBook Pro is just way to expensive right now, and I'm going to need it for my study that I'm going to follow in two years. So I want to buy a new motherboard, processor, graphics card and some fans. I am going to run Windows on it, but I'm only going to use it for heavy tasks like gaming, editting and some more stuff. Don't get me wrong I really like OS X and Apple, but my MacBook is getting older and older, and it can't even run some modern apps well anymore. Let me give you an example. I needed to edit a video for a school project, and I've tried doing it in Final Cut Pro X, and it didn't work. I had errors all the time and it was just so frustrating. This is the reason why I want to build a more powerfull machine, and luckily I already have a case and powersupply, because without those I would be paying 200 euro's more than I'm paying now. The build it self is around 350 euro's and I think I'm starting the build this summer.

    For those are curious I'm going to put the specs and models below.

    Processor: Intel Core i5 Quad Core 3.1 GHz
    https://azerty.nl/0-5654-683532/intel-core-i5-4460-3-2-ghz-6-mb-cache-lga1150-socket-doos.html

    Graphics card: MSI N610GT-2GD3H/LP
    https://azerty.nl/8-4360-604586/msi-n610gt-2gd3h-lp.html

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H - 1.0
    https://azerty.nl/8-5602-748698/gigabyte-ga-h81m-s2h-1-0-m.html

    Fans: CoolerMaster Silent Fan 120 S|1

    Elder Scrolls Online

    Hello everyone and welcome at another post, today I want to talk about a really awesome game called Elder Scrolls Online. I think almost every gamer has heard of it by now, and the reason why I'm doing this review more than one year since the release is because I've quit playing the game for a year because I didn't want to pay 13 euro's a month for a game, but now that its free, I am going to give you my opinion about the Elder Scrolls Online.

    The game plays 1000 years before Skyrim, and there are 3 alliances. The Aldmeri Dominion, Ebonheart Pact and Daggerfal Covenant, those 3 alliances excist out of different country's and races. The Daggerfall Covenant exist out of Bretons, Redguards and Orcs. The Aldmeri Dominion exists out of High Elves, Wood Elves
    and Khajits, and last but not least the Ebonheart Pact exist out of Nords, Wood Elves and Argonians, but all of those races aren't familiar if you haven't played Skyrim, or any other Elder Scrolls game before. Every alliance try's to conquer all of Tamriel ( Tamriel is the world ), and they are trying to capture the Imperial city, which lies in de middle of Tamriel, so there is a very cool war going on, and the best part is, you can play for your own chosen alliance.

    Keep in mind that there are 3 races in every alliance, so lets say you want to play as an Orc, you'll have to join the Daggerfall Covenant you can't join any other alliance unless you've bought the Imperial or Explorers edition.

    You'll have a few classes to choose from, and I'm going to explain what the capabilities are from those classes. Lets start with Dragonknight. A Dragonknight is a close combat character which fights with swords, axes, maces and so on. As Dragonknight you can be very powerful but only when your a fan of close combat. The Nightblade is a sneak character. It uses sneaking to trick enemy's, its very nice to play with a bow or daggers if you choose this class. Personally I really recommend this character, because you aren't fighting close combat, and unless your fighting against mages or archers they can't do a lot damage. If you like to play with fire, just Sorcerer may be the class for you. Magic is very powerful, and can be fairly easy to learn, your not in close combat, but your not really far from the enemy either so the chances of getting killed in combat isn't so big as being a Dragonknight. The Templar is a mix of the Sorcerer and the Dragonknight. You can fight close combat, or with magic, but it isn't as powerful in the beginning, as choosing just one of these classes. When you progress in the game, this class can be very powerful when used well.

    The quests are very fun to do, and the world is so big. Its very fun to just play some Elder Scrolls Online with some friends, and have a good time doing some quests together. Leveling up is fairly easy when doing quests, and its fun because I really like it to get stronger everytime I level up. If you've played Skyrim and you liked it, then you are definitely going to like this game.

    Hope you liked the post, thanks for reading.

    School PC's

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you something about the school PC's here in the Netherlands.
     Our school PC's on the most schools here in the Netherlands are very slow, but why?
    The most schools gets money of the government and than I think why didn't schools spend more money for good PC's so pupils can better learn and teachers can give better lessons. but maybe I think to easy about it.
    Our school PC's have a Core 2 Duo Cpu and 1GB ram, and than when the teachers start up there PC's they all whine about the speed of it, and than when a pupil said ''why didn't school buy better PC's'' the teachers say ''The school haven't got enough money'', but next year all the teachers gets a new Macbook Pro with Retina from the school, than I think ''and the said school hasn't got enough money to pay normal PC's for the children.''

    I don't know how it is in other lands, but I think on every school in the world this is a big issue. They say you have to learn better, but you can't because when you will search for something on the school PC's you have to wait for a long time and when you have found it the bells rings for your next lesson.

    I didn't say schools have to buy very expensive PC's but they have to buy faster PC's. In my school where all teachers gets a Macbook Pro, I say buy iMac's for in the classrooms and for in the computer rooms. So children and teachers have benefited from it.

    This was a other kind of post, but I think this is a big issue on much schools and I hope it will be better because when you have better stuff for learning, children will learn better and more.
    I hope you have enjoyed, and I hope you will also read my next post.

    Can Ubuntu replace OS X?

    Hello everyone, and welcome at a new post, today I'll have a very interesting topic in my opinion, I'm going to talk about Ubuntu and OS X, and if Ubuntu can replace OS X in my opinion.

    So lets start with the looks and user-friendliness. Both operating systems look a little bit like each other, and they work a bit the same. Compare Ubuntu and its way more different. I had no trouble finding any applications or settings because it all make sense. Everything is so well made in Ubuntu, and the fact that its free is completely mind-blowing for me. I've really enjoyed using the operating system, there are a lot of free apps for the operating system, from screen recording programs to writing programs, and all tough they aren't real known applications, they really work very well, and the best thing is everything is free, you won't have to pay a penny. I had no trouble connecting hardware at all, it recognized my studio microphone right away, I just had to set some things up for a better sound quality, and everything was set up to start testing.

    I really like OS X, and I think that thats al clear because this blog isn't called Apple Macintosh Blog for a reason. My daily driver is a MacBook from 2008, and I love it. Its not fast, and I don't like it because of the design because there are a lot more nicer pc's out there, but I've just bought it for its operating system. In my opinion OS X is really user-friendly, and some other people have the same opinion, because my brother was staying at my house for a few days, and he forgot is own laptop at home so he had to make a project on my Mac. And I had to show him a few little things, but most things he just figured out himself and he almost never touched a Mac before. But I have to admit, the operating system is getting a lot more advanced and a lot less user-friendly because my dad has a computer that can run OS X Yosemite, and even I, a person that have used OS X for years sometimes have problems finding some files and that sort of stuff.

    So know that you know a bit more about the operating system, lets look if Ubuntu can replace OS X for me, and why or why not. As I said I really like working on Ubuntu, and sometimes more than I love to work on my Mac, its free which is great, and a lot of great apps are free. I fully understand the operating system, and I know where to find all the files that I'm ever going to need. But I don't think its going to be capable of replacing OS X for me, because I really love to work with OS X, and all tough I love working on Ubuntu, and sometimes more than I love working on OS X, its just not going to do it. The apps are great, and I love almost everything about the operating system, but I also love to use OS X, and I've used it for years. And OS X works really great with my microphone, and my iPod and iPad. But if I wouldn't have my iDevices, and if I aren't so used to it, I would maybe switch to Ubuntu. But I don't think its going to happen soon, and I keep using OS X for a very long time I think.

    I hope you liked this post, thanks for reading!

    Macbook 12'' 2015

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about what I have seen and heard about the new macbook.
     I think the new macbook is really nice for using as a laptop for your e-mail and maybe for something on internet, but I think it is not really fast because it has a 1,1GHz dual core CPU and that is not enough for a normal speed laptop I think.
    The outside of it looks amazing, so thin as this laptop is can only be made by apple, and the specifications aren't a big problem. maybe the only problem is the speed of this laptop because it has a 1,1GHz cpu. but it has 8GB memory and maybe through this it will be a lot faster than I think.

    This are the full specs of the cheapest one:
    • 256GB PCIe-based onboard flash storage1
    • 1.1GHz dual-core
      Intel Core M processor
      Turbo Boost up to 2.4GHz
    • 8GB memory
    • Intel HD Graphics 5300
    $1,299.00.



    This was my post about this new apple laptop, I hope you have enjoyed and I hope this was a useful post.

    MSI GP60 2PE 230NL Leopard Vs Apple MacBook Pro 13 inch

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will talk about two whole different Laptops, The MSi GP60 2PE 230NL Leopard and the Apple macbook Pro 13''.


    MSI GP60 2PE 230NL Leopard:  This is a Gaming laptop of €1000,- and looks really nice, this Laptop has a Intel core i7 quad core onboard and a Nvidia Geforce 840M with 2GB. This Laptop runs with Windows 8.1 and has 12GB Ram, it has a 1TB hard disk and it is a 15,6'' Laptop. This laptop will be used for heavy gaming and I think also for editing because it is a really fast Laptop.


    Apple Macbook Pro 13'': This is a really good Laptop of Apple for editing. You can use this laptop for a few games, but this is not a real gaming laptop because it has a 2,5-GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 and 4GB Ram. So this isn't a good laptop for gaming, but this one is better for editing than the MSI, because the most of the editing softwares works a lot better on a Mac.




    So I think this are both really good laptops, but the MSI is better for gaming and the Macbook is better for Editing.

    This was my post about this two laptops, I hope you have enjoyed and I hope you will read my next post too.

    iPad Air 2 vs Surface 3

    Hello guys, and welcome at another blogpost. Today I want to talk about two flagship tablets, the Apple iPad Air 2 and the Microsoft Surface 3 so lets get started.

    The iPad and the Surface are both really nice tablets, but they are really different. The iPad runs iOS 8 and it runs fine, its one of my most favorite operating systems, I really like it, but as I said before, its very different compared with Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 is designed to get work done. Its a full computer operating system, and you'll get Microsoft Office for free for a year. The external keyboard is a really nice feature, you'll pay 100 dollars more for it, but I highly recommend it because it will increase your productivity a lot.                                                                                   
                                                                                         source: www.microsoftstore.com

    With the Surface you can do a bit of photo and video editing, but it isn't made for professional video and photo editing, its just to slow for such big tasks. You can even do a bit of casual gaming on it, a bit of Minecraft is really playable, I couldn't use this as a daily driver, because I need more power than the Surface Pro can offer me, but I can understand why people would use it as a daily driver. Its a great device, its very portable, which is also very handy for college students. I really like it, but for 600 euros it is a bit expensive, and keep in mind that this price is without accessories

    As I said the iPad Air is a very nice and sleek looking tablet. It has a fingerprint scanner, which works really nice, but if your hands are dirty, sometimes it won't work. The screen is just mind-blowing nice, its very sharp and the colors are good. iOS 8 works really great, and looks very cool in my opinion, but its not a full desktop operating system, so you can do a bit of work on it, but video and photo editing is going to be very difficult on the iPad Air 2. It is great door media use, like for example stream some music, or a movie to your Apple TV. Its a great machine for just chilling on your couch, and watch some
    source: www.store.apple.com
    Youtube videos, and browse the web. The iPad 100 euros cheaper than the Surface, but I understand why. The Surface runs a full version of Windows, and has 64GB of storage while the cheapest model of the iPad Air 2 just has 16GB.

    So I hope you liked to post, I think they're both great in their own way so thats the reason why I didn't left a conclusion whether the Air 2 or Surface 3 was better. Thanks for reading!

    Gaming pc or a console?

    Hello guys, and welcome at another blogpost, and today I am going to talk about something a bit different then what we are used to. I'm going to do a personal challenge between consoles and gaming pc's. Its not going to be a a challenge with two specific devices, but just the devices in general so lets get started.

    I'm going to start with consoles, because this is what I play the most. I really love my PS4, its really fun to just sit back, grab your controller, a nice drink, something to eat and play some Call of Duty. The graphics on the PS4 are astonishing good, and the controller is really nice. It takes some time to get used to, because the other controllers from Playstation were pretty small, and all tough thats fine after a playing a while my hands started to hurt but with the Playstation 4 controller I didn't had this experience. There aren't  
                                                                                                                   source: www.tweakers.nl
    really good titles for the Playstation 4 yet in my opinion, but I really love Mortal Kombat X, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, GTA V and FIFA15. I really like controllers, and all tough you can connect a controller to a pc, its just nice to have a console. So actually I really like consoles, but not for all games, I'll come back on that point later in the post.

    There are some games, that aren't playable yet on a console, or those games are just really boring, games like Minecraft are really boring on a console in my opinion, and Elder Scrolls Online isn't available for PS4 yet, so these are the games that I play on my pc. And I really like playing with a keyboard and mouse as well, but not every game. Games like Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online are real fun with a mouse and keyboard, but to play Call of Duty with a mouse just

    source: www.laptopmag.com
    seems kind of strange to me but I'm used to playing with a controller in my hands, and thats what I intend of doing. I'm a huge fan of Alienware, and an Alienware would definitely be my second choice of computers. I really like the designs of the Alienwares, so if I'm going to buy a gaming pc somewhere in the future, I would definitely choose an Alienware.

    If I would choose between a game pc for 600 euro's or an PS4 with some games for 600 euro's I would go for the Playstation 4, because I'm used to game on a console, and it feels familiar. What do you prefer? A console or a gaming pc? Leave a comment to let me know. Thanks for reading!

    AMD FX 6350 Black Edition

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the AMD FX6350 CPU.

    The AMD FX 6350 is a really good cpu for gaming, this is one of the best CPU's made by AMD, that is the reason why it calls the Black Edition.
    The AMD FX 6350 is a Six-core 3.9GHz cpu and 8MB cache. This cpu only fits with a Socket AM3+ Motherboard. Through the 8MB cache is the AMD FX 6530 very fast to open your data.
    This cpu is also good for multitasking and heavy editing through the Six-Cores in it.

    I think this is a really good cpu, there are more expensive CPU's of the Black Edition, but I think you don't need a more expensive one because this is a really good CPU and why you shall pay more for a more expensive CPU when you also can buy this one for a cheaper price. But this is my opinion, but beside the price I think this is a good CPU for gaming and also for heavy editing.

    Hello guys, and welcome at another blogpost. Today I want to finish ranting about my Mac Mini project. After this part, I'm going to save up some money, and start the project. Saving money isn't very easy, but when I'll have another job it should go easier. So in this post I'm going to cover every last bit.

    As I said, I'm going to build a shelve, just because its easier. I'm not sure of keeping it that way, because maybe if I get an Intel Mac Mini for my server, I will upgrade to a server cabinet from steel, and nice fans in it to keep everything cooled. The reason why I want to do shelves is because its more easy, and when I'm testing everything I can just reach it from my chair.

    I said I was going with 4TB of storage, but thats a little to much, I don't need a lot of space. My daily driver is a MacBook with a 200GB SSD in it, so for backing up my computer even 500GB is good. The reason why I want 2 or 3TB is because I want to store my music, movies, photo's, video's all that sort of stuff on the server so I can access it whenever I want to but when I need to download something on my computer I won't have to worry about my own hard drive space. I could of course upgrade the hard drive in my laptop, but I aren't going to just because I don't need to. So I'm going with 3TB, and if that isn't enough I can always upgrade.

    I saw a video the other day about a huge hard drive enclosure. It supported 4 hard drives, and I'm thinking about getting one, because it looks very cool. I didn't do a whole lot of research on them, so I'll have to figure out if everything works, but if it does it would look so cool. I'm hoping to screw this drive in a nice position, so I can access it whenever I need to, but that its not in my way. I'll have to figure that out, because its not really important. I'm going to buy 3 separate hard drive enclosures, and see how that works for a couple of months.

    The reason I'm building a server is because I want to back up my computer wirelessly, and to have more free space on my hard drive. And the server is not just for me, of course some things will be protected with a password, but the movies and music, is shareable for everyone in the house. I already have an Apple TV, so when I'm going Intel I can just stream the music or movies to my Apple TV.

    So these are the reasons for my server, if you're building a server let me know because I would love to see how you've got everything setup. If you've got any questions live a comment, or sent me an e-mail. Thanks for reading!

    Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 broken audio drivers part 1


    Hello guys, and welcome at another post, today I want to talk about my Panasonic Toughbook CF-29. It has a problem, and a lot of Toughbooks have the same problem. The sound doesn't work, all the drivers are installed but the speakers just don't work, so I've tried connecting external speakers, and those didn't work either. So I am looking to repair it, and I'm hoping I've fixed the problem. I've downloaded a program called Driver Checker, and it works great!

    The only problem I've got, is when I try to install the program it says this:

    Device:                                                                   Result:
    Connexant AC-link Audio                                     FAILURE

    So the download is fine, but its doing something wrong with the install, and I'm going to solve this problem with you guys. For the ones that have a Toughbook with a broken driver, I'll recommend downloading Virus Checker, its completely virus free, because after the scan, I've ran my virus scanner, and it said everything was fine. Thanks for reading, and I'll will write another post, as soon as I solved the problem!

    Logitech G430

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the Logitech G430 Headset and I will tell you the difference between the G430 and the G230.
     I think the logitech G430 is a very nice and good headset for gaming, but it broke really fast, because a friend of mine has this headset and he lets fall his headset down for the first time and it was immediately broken, so that is a negative point, but I don't know of all the headsets are so weak.

    The difference between the G430 and the G230 is the price and also The G430 is a FPS headset and the G230 is more for MMO gaming, but this are the only two difference I know, but this headsets are really good and I think this are the best headsets for the price compared with other headsets for this price.

    Thanks for reading this post, it was maybe a shorter one than you expected. I hope you will read my next post and I hope you have enjoyed this post.

    Mac Mini Project part 4

    Hello guys, and welcome at another blogpost. Today I want to talk more about my Mac Mini project, because its a very fun project. If you have an old Mac Mini, and if you aren't using it anymore, you can use it as a server as well. Its very easy, and the computer doesn't consume much electricity so its very cheap to run.

    As I said in part 3 of the Mac Mini project series, I've wanted to make a special shelve, and I'm probably going to stick to that plan, so now thats all clear I will have to think about which hard drives I'm going to use. I'm thinking of using Firewire 400 because those are more easy to daisy chain. For the people that doesn't know what daisy chain means, it actually means connecting one hard drive to your computer, and then just keep connecting the hard drives to each other. But this is way more easier with Firewire. The other reason I want to use Firewire, is because its faster than USB 2.0.

    I'm probably going to buy 2 hard drives with 2TB storage each. This way, I have enough space on the shelve for future upgrades. I'm hoping to get at least one year of use from the Mac Mini G4, before I'm going to upgrade to a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo.

    I'm am going to set everything up later this week, so part 5 will be posted at the end of this week, or the beginning of next week. Thanks for reading!

    AlienWare Area-51

    Hello and welcome to a new post, in this post I will tell you my opinion about the most expensive Alien ware Area 51 on the Dell Website. 
     The AlienWare Area 51 is a really nice Pc, but I'm not a big fan of the outside, because it is to futuristic, so this isn't a big point, because when I have enough money I will buy it because it's a real beast, 
    The specifications of this Pc are very impressive, also the outside isn't so worse, because there are worse looking Pc's, but I think it is a little bit to futuristic.
     The specifications from the most expensive alienware area 51 Pc on the Dell site:

    • Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-5930K Processor (6-cores, 15MB Cache, Overclocked up to 3.9 GHz w/ Turbo Boost)

    Building a computer yourself

    Hello everyone and welcome at another post, a lot of people want to build their computer themselves, and thats actually very smart. In this post I'm going to learn you some tips, and tell why its clever to build a computer yourself.

    To start with, its mostly cheaper to build your own pc, and you can make it very awesome. You can give it liquid cooling, cool light in the computer, the best graphics card, and the best processor. You can make it however you want, depending on your budget. Its a very fun thing to do, because you start with just random pieces of hardware, and get a pc out of it. I've build a computer once, and believe its not as hard as it looks like. And if you don't know what to do, use Google or Youtube. I'm sure the answer is on there somewhere.

    The case is one of the most important things, because without a case, its going to be very hard to build a computer. There are a lot of cases out there, so there are a lot of enclosures you could choose from different brands. but for the those who are interested, here's the link of my case: http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=1081&pid=129.

    There is one very important thing, make sure that your hardware matches together. For example: Buy a motherboard and a processor with the same socket, otherwise the build won't work. Its very important to make sure, that everything works together, so before you're going to buy al your parts for your build, make sure to do some research first.

    Cooling is very important, because without cooling your computer will overheat. Keep in mind that you'll need to order fans, and cooling paste. You can use liquid cooling instead of fans, and this is very handy because your computer is very silent, but if you want to combine liquid cooling and fan cooling its also possible. Its very important to choose your hardware wisely, not just because what I said earlier, but also because if your going to build a gaming pc or at least a powerful pc, you want it to work properly for lets say, the next for years. So don't be cheap, just choose what ever looks good, and will be useable for the next few years.

    The graphics card is one of the most important things of your build, especially if your a gamer, so choose your card wisely, and its alright of you spend a little more on the graphics card, because if your a gamer, its very nice to play the next few years, all your games on high or ultra settings. I really like the fact that you can change every piece of hardware if your building a pc. I don't like the fact that you can't call customer support if it breaks, because you can't send your computer back for them to repair it. You'll have to do everything yourself, which is fine though, if you like building computers.
