Wow- jailbroken iPhones really stick it to Nintendo even more! The iPhone is quickly becoming a powerful gaming machine. So powerful, Sony and Ninetendo are really feeling it in the handheld gaming sector.
A YouTube user by the name of NWorksDevhas posted a video on his page of an iPhone running Super Mario 64 on an early version N64 emulator (3G4) for the iPhone.
Here is the video description:
“So far, the product seems to run freaking flawlessly.
The only problems i’m running into is duplicate button registers, delay of presses, and crashes when heavy gameplay occurs. Still looking to fix this. Until then enjoy this vid. Beta testers needed soon. Interested?”
Readers on many blogs have been debating on whether the video is real, or fake. In my opinion, this seems very possible to do.
I’ve seen many games on the Apple App Store which look just as advanced, if not, more than games I’ve played on the N64.
Windows 7 could be the step that saved Microsoft in the eyes of its users. Vista was ridden with compaibility issues, and was a real resource hog. With 7, MS built on Vista’s positives, and removed all the clutter that made a stink in our Vista experience.
Whether you’re upgrading from Vista, or skipped it all together and are moving up from XP- this list is a gem. As MS has added tons of handy features to the OS which may not be so visible to the eye.
1. Pick Your Edition.Most business users do not need the more expensive Ultimate Edition; stick with Professional unless you specifically need BitLocker.
2. Upgrading? Go 64-bit.As the second major Windows release to fully support 64-bit, the x64 architecture has definitely arrived on the desktop. Don’t buy new 32-bit hardware unless it’s a netbook.
3. Use Windows XP Mode.Yes, it’s only an embedded Virtual PC with a full copy of WinXP—but it’s an embedded Virtual PC with a full copy of Windows XP! This is the first profoundly intelligent use of desktop virtualization we’ve seen—and a great way to move to Windows 7 without giving up full Windows XP compatibility. (more…)
Have you ever had trouble getting into a site, and wondered if you were the only one? Then simply go to http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and type in the URL. It will check the site and let you know if it’s down for just you, or universally.
If it is just you- you may have a network, DNS, of other issue.
Today Google launched “Google Public DNS“. It is supposed to make your web browsing experience even faster.
A lot of you may be unfamiliar with DNS (Domain Name System)
here’s Google’s explanation:
“Most of us aren’t familiar with DNS because it’s often handled automatically by our Internet Service Provider (ISP), but it provides an essential function for the web. You could think of it as the switchboard of the Internet, converting easy-to-remember domain names – e.g., www.google.com – into the unique Internet Protocol (IP) numbers – e.g., 74.125.45.100 – that computers use to communicate with one another.”
Your ISP has you run through their DNS servers by default- and if you’re a broadband subscriber, surfing web pages is probably fast enough. Google hopes to make it even faster and safer when you use theirs. (more…)

Memory Cleaner is something special when compared to other Memory (RAM) cleaners on the net. What makes it so cool is that it uses the native functionality built into Windows to clean the system memory, thus making it more safe, and effective.
It allows users to clear the system cache, and also trim processes’. This is safe, and will not harm your computer in any way.
Those of you who switched to Windows 7 may have realized that the “Administrator” account is missing. It is hidden by default- but luckily, it’s rather easy to enable.
This account may be needed for running certain applications that require Administrator Mode. The default Administrator account is recommended to use for troubleshooting purposes only.
1- Click the Windows button at the lower left corner (where the “Start” button in XP used to be)
2- Type in “cmd” in the search bar below
3- You should see “cmd.exe” as the first search result – right-click on it and click “Run as administrator”
4- type in net user administrator /active:yes
5-Now log out and you should see the “Administrator” account as an option
