It’s been 5 years since Microsoft has made a release in the Windows Server family. Like many of the other software offerings from Microsoft, the development cycle has been inflated as the company looks to make significant changes to usability and security. Windows products are often bogged down with unnecessary features and are a favourite target of […]

I haven’t participated in it, I’ve never tried it, and I probably wouldn’t even recommend it, but I am intrigued by the idea and was interested in finding out more about it. My limited knowledge on the subject is: your CPU runs faster, but it also runs hotter, so you may have better performance, but […]

For many companies, the idea of the Internet going down is beyond a disaster. Multi-national, multi-office Enterprises and Mom-and-Pop E-commerce sites could be hit equally as hard if there was a multi-car pile-up on the Information Superhighway, and what separates those that survive and those that fade off into the sunset may be determined by […]

Apple’s latest release follows the standard formula that has been so effective for the last few years. We touched on the MacBook Air in a post about MacWorld 2008 last week, but all we had was a link to the ad and the guided tour. Having read more about the new notebook, we can offer more […]

Each year, old technology is replaced by new, bringing us faster, better computers and servers (among other things, of course). SuperbHosting.net has now released some new dedicated servers, and with that, updated our pricing and the way we name our servers. Gone are the old Solo, Prime, Edge, Pro, and Extreme servers that were a part […]

In the last few years, Macintosh has become one of the most dominant forces in Technology. Somewhere between the release of Mac OS X and the iPod, the company re-invented itself. The adoption of their devices is picking up steam, with the market share closing in on 8%, and the company continues to shine with […]

The average person has little or no difficulty starting their computer, opening up their preferred web browser (likely Internet Explorer or Firefox, based on statistics), and surfing to their favourite websites. There is little understanding about how or why it works, it just does, and that’s good enough for the average user. However, once you […]

Sharing photos online is one of the major reasons for being online. I remember about a year ago, one of the biggest anti-Internetters that I know was turned into a believer when, within an hour of her birth, pictures of his beautiful baby girl were in the hands of his rarely-seen relatives in England. He […]

Social applications are becoming more and more common within the Enterprise. As the average user becomes more comfortable using and utilizing social applications, it becomes more and more realistic to incorporate these into the Enterprise. Couple that level of comfort with the convenience of web-based applications and it makes even more sense, especially with more and more […]

Earlier this week I made a post linking to an article released on AnandTech last year that compared the Intel Woodcrest CPU to AMD’s Opteron and Sun’s Ultrasparc T1. The overall conclusion was that the Woodcrest was the top processor of the three. While the Intel Woodcrest will suffice for a majority of business and personal needs, there is […]
