boom

Check this out. Pixomondo took away the Creative Arts Emmy award for the visual effects in Game of Thrones and this video breaks it all down, showing you a lot of what was real and what was computer generated.

WiFi Issues with iOS6

title

It would seem that all is not rosy with the release of the new operating system on iDevices. Apparently there were floods of complaints from customers who had their WiFi greyed out following the update to iOS6 on iPhones 4 and 4S and iPad 3rd Gen. I haven’t yet updated my systems to iOS6 and [...]

4291451416_662e4bcb05_o

I imagine this would have taken MysteryGuitarMan quite some time to do. It’s cool to make something as boring as Excel actually interesting! Although, by the looks of things it’s actually the OpenOffice spreadsheet program rather than Microsoft Excel (just to be picky). [Via Flavorwire]

You can no longer trust your SMS to tell you who it’s really from on an iPhone. But don’t worry, the flaw has been found, and it can be fixed. Apparently, within the code sent via SMS there is a ‘User Data Header’ (UDH). This contains an option where you can set the number that [...]
