Google’s G1 phone versus Apple’s iphone. Kerrrunch! Yummy!

Or is it? Initial reactions to Google’s new phone and iphone competitor, The Android, have been generally positive, but the word on geek street is that it doesn’t quite beat it in both looks and functionality.

Even if this is the case right now, can Apple fend off the mighty Google forever? Or could the apple logo soon look a bit like this…

Personally, I’ve never liked the “Marks and Spencers” of computers (Apple). Sure they look nifty, but aren’t they just for uber-snobs? I think Google might just nibble them to the core on this one.

Gary McKinnon hacked into ‘top secret’ US computers in 1999. He says he was looking for information on aliens and stuff. The US were not very happy about this. They say he is the most dangerous military hacker of all time and caused thousands of dollars of damage.

Or did he just cause thousands of red faces?

How easy was it for McKinnon to hack into those computers? Embarrassingly easy. Is this the real reason why they want to make an example of him? Haven’t they got better things to do with their money than bang up a geek for 60 years?

And what is the British government up to?

Gary McKinnon is now going to the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds that the US abused the extradition process and threatened McKinnon, and that the US might try him in a military rather than civilian court.

We at Expert Found have decided that Gary McKinnon is an expert super uber-geek of dangerous proportions, but not an evil comic book-style techno-baddie, as the Americans seem to be labelling him.

I’ve just stumbled across this page of 15 amazing DIY gadgets. You have to check it out! I defy you not to be impressed by the rubik cube-solving robot made out of lego!

I also really want to take a flight in one of those DIY planes. Anyone willing to take me out on one, leave a comment!

I can take corrupt business men; I can take corrupt politicians, but if there’s one thing I cannot stomach, it’s a corrupt registry (Oh purleeease! EF Team.)

I’m serious! Have you ever wanted to throw a computer from the top of your building and watch it smash into a little pieces? If you’ve ever had a registry corrupt warning, you’ll know that feeling. I don’t recommend doing that however. I do recommend Registry Fix however, and you can read my registry fix review here.

This is a pretty new blog here at Expert Found Towers, and pleased as punch we are with it too. So we want everyone to know about us and check us out? But where to start? Well there’s pinging and RSS directories and trackbacks… “Woah!” I hear you say, “steady on Nerdlinger!”

Okay, let’s not get bogged down in everyhting all in one go. However, one good place for us to start is claiming our blog at Technorati. And how you do it is really easy. You simply create an account at Technorati, and they give you a link to post on your blog. When Fluffy the happy spider (as they call him) finds your post, he knows it’s your blog and you can then use their services to get more readers! Hurrah!

Here’s our own special link… look at him… isn’t he lovely?

Technorati Profile

A keyboard where the keys are beautifully shaped to fit your fingertips. Or perhaps dinky rubbery affairs for that essential “non-slip” texture. The blissful screech of the tape loading, and the endless swearing when you had to rewind and try again. Ahhh, those were the days.

I am of course referring to the legendary Sinclair Spectrum: arguably the best computer ever in the world. It may not have had the blistering graphics capabilities of today’s machines, or the masses of memory space for programmers to fool around with, but by jimminy it had charm. And who needs more than 48k of RAM anyway? Pah!

Anyway, when I get all nostalgic like this, I often like to frequent a website dedicated to the Best Computer Magazine In The World: Your Sinclair. What a marvelous publication that was. It went on to spawn ZERO magazine for the 16 bits (I was an Atari ST man myself), and then Game Zone.

The website I’m referring to is Your Sinclair The Rock ‘N’ Roll Years. Check it out. Now excuse me while I stick on Hold My Hand Very Tightly…

Urgh! You know what it’s like. You have a million things to do, you boot yourself up with a strong coffee and then boot your PC ready to plough through it and BANG! Oh no! Something’s gone wrong with the registry! We’ve all been there. But before you begin to pour your coffee through the air vents of your machine, take note. There is a solution and it it will solve your registry problems!

Check out my review of this great piece of registry fixing software. It’s proving incredibly popular worldwide and for good reason.

So don’t execute your PC just yet! Execute this program instead (arf!) and then get on with your day!
