The title of this question here is a little misleading because you can use this little web app to serve lots of stuff besides quotes, like random ads or words of wisdom. Get your geek on and swap out scripts and images galore!Originally we used the free RandomQuote ASP generator to feed our geeky quotes [...]
Hey AtA!
Commodore64 here to report on a finding of mine that is pretty unfair. And since I’m up against a giant of an ISP, there seems to be a partial monopoly of sorts, and seemingly few options, since my whole building is wired with TW Cable.
This is where the pen is supposed to become mightier [...]
John wrote in that he dropped a screw into his HUGE server case as he was about to seal it up. Now who wants to take it apart again just to get that stupid little screw?
It sure looks like the good fellows over at ThinkGeek are in our heads because they have a solution (yet [...]
Following in the footsteps of the Annoy-O-Tron we wrote about a little whiles back, we have another gadget that can make a grown man cry! Some of you guys wrote in $10 was too rich for your blood. We heard you loud and clear and this one is only $8.95
This tiny little remote is [...]
Excuse me while I vent a little. I hate it when I come into the office with a nice hot cup of $6.00 coffee and someone manages to drag me over to their cube or office to “Show Me Something” instead of just explaining it. We do speak the same language and all – I [...]

So this nifty obscure use of Google really helps us out on the go. We fire up our mobile browser (whose home page is Google) and type in our Airline and flight number like so:
And Google does the hard work and gives you what you need to see! This will work from any Internet terminal [...]

If we were in the entertainment industry we would be lusting after an Oscar, Emmy or some other crap like that. But sadly I just get a paycheck and the occasional virtual pat on the back. Oh wait thats great … How about showing some AtA love and get us nominated for a Bloggie?
Begin rant: [...]
So we don’t usually gush over retail household products but this is really cool and can be bought with the notion of safety in mind. You attach this doo-hickey that is battery operated and it changes the color of your water with LED’s depending on the temperature of the water. Its also only $20 [...]
I just came across this in my daily browsing and had a pretty good laugh over it. Finally something Mac and Window users can team up against! LMFAO – don’t worry no actual Linux users were hurt in this clip…

Have you seen the latest commercial from Apple for the Mac? It is the same PC versus Mac concept except the characters look like they are straight out of the “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer” animated classic.
I am not a Mac user, but I know a lot of you are out there are. Either way, [...]
The Admin gets LOTS of packages and some are easier to open then others. Who am I kidding? They are all ridiculously hard to open!
I got my review OpenIT in the mail today to do all my un-boxing bidding. Guess what? It was sealed in fricking plastic. I need one of these OpenIt’s to open [...]
We just heard from our friends at Walyou that Divx is feeling the holiday cheer a little early and giving away free copies of Divx Pro. Now you too can compress your home movies, recorded TV shows and anything else just like the professional bootleggers!
I love Divx Pro and bought mine eons ago. Divx makes [...]
So, you have come to the right place to search for advice on what to get that geek in your life for the holiday season.
Read on, because we have compiled a list of what we salivate over bought ourselves want.
I don’t care if you are celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Festivus (for the [...]
We wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all our loyal readers (and those just passing by) from the whole AtA family. We are about to hit the 600 reader mark – meaning we gained another 100 readers in the last month… Nice! Our traffic and email volume has also increased AGAIN – thanks for the [...]
Hey everyone, it’s Scott from AndroidGuys here. Thanks to Karl and the other Admins here, I’m back with another article!
Yesterday, we put an article up on AndroidGuys where we talked about Google’s foray into the television world. I’d like to expound upon that piece and explain how open source could radically change the [...]
How does hundreds of tera-bits per second, over traditional fiber optic cable sound to you?
Did I stutter?
…Didn’t think so!
That’s less than a 1 second download for a full DVD. And just by adding some magic lasers to help along our current Fiber Optic cabling? I’m sure there is more to it than that, but [...]

The Admin and Commodore 64 attended the CES International 2008 Press Preview last night. We were on a mission to find new gizmos and gadgets for our upcoming post
“It’s A Geeky Christmas! What to get the geek in your life for the holidays.”We searched high and low (mostly near the fancy finger foods and [...]
Hey Boys and Girls,
Throughout history, science has dissected the inner working of every race of man. We’ve disassembled soldiers, warriors, policemen, firemen, ninjas, samurais, and thanks to shows like Discovery’s “Dirty Jobs”, we’ve gotten an intimate look at their day to day. But what about the inner mind workings of today’s Nerd? We are today’s [...]

We have been busy little beavers at the AtA offices in the last few weeks, but just to bring you up to speed, Roxio will be sponsoring a contest. We will be giving away a FREE copy of Easy Media Creator 10 Suite and all you have to do is leave a comment! Go [...]
So we don’t feel AS guilty for introducing you to such ingenious super-villianesque (Yeah that’s a word) gadgets like the Annoy-o-Tron and The Ninja Remote anymore.
Why you might ask.. That’s because El Di Pablo from Bauer Power posted His Top Five Computer Pranks. Just in time to freak someone out for Halloween with some haunted [...]

This one caught me by surprise! I don’t know if it is my lack of sleep, after those conference calls at 3am this morning, but I was ROTFL. Don’t let me cloud your judgment, here is the story – you be the judge…
I was walking down Wall Street this morning on my way to work. [...]
So you hear tech support stories and say to yourself… Yeah right, that’s pretty funny but, I doubt it really happened.
Well, I bring you The True Tales Of End User Stupidity (t cubed o.e.u.s. – pretty catchy eh?) that will have you peeing in your pants or bring a tear to your eye if you [...]
First lets say Happy Labor Day to all our Laboring Buddies Out there… Alright we got the pleasantries out of the way now – Holy crap its happened. This is something straight out of Futurama. That’s right you shower and lather up this “Shower Shock” and get a heaping dose of caffeine. Just don’t stay [...]
So all the local NYC stores still have stock on the iPhone. eBay yesterday, around 7pm, had these things going for as much as $1200! Now there are so many auctions for .99 and no bids.
If you still want one there are deals to be had. I feel bad for the line waiters and high [...]
Check it out – SYSinternals was aquired by Microsoft and they have been slowly integrating their tools into MS OS’s.
You can find all of their tools here.
We use a lot of these on a daily basis like WHOIS and PSTools, PSMon, PageDefrag, SDelete, PSKill, Handle, and PSInfo among others. These programs make the admin’s job [...]
Gizmodo is having a contest sponsored by the Sci-Fi channel’s Eureka. They want you to send in your best invention – if you get selected you get – That’s right – A free iPhone.
