On my previous post, I have written about Greg Packer’s attempt to be the first person to get his hands on the latest iPad in New York City (click here to read).

On April - 1 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS
The “Blue Screen of Death” is the most feared situation for PC users. It happens without warning and once it happened, it happens more frequently. This is the biggest problem of Windows OS which have no solution other than formatting your operating system. I have experienced this situation quite frequently on my previous Acer laptop that runs on Windows Vista. It made me crazy especially when I have not saved my precious files. Now, in conjunction with April Fool Day today, lets put... (more...)
