The Term Webtop has been a long time, but has been a fledgeling technology that has failed to take off.  The reality is the technology wasn’t ready.  In my honest opinion, the original creators had the right idea, but they got the whole concept wrong. So here’s where I’ve come to think about it on…

What happened to “Human” in Humanity?

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I really do need to ask this question.  I appreciate my followers and yes, they’re a loyal bunch.  I do need to EVERYBODY one question and everyone on the Internet. We all go about our lives.  We see the homeless person at the exit ramp, on the sidewalk, etc.  Granted a lot of them are…

I guess this is a call out for help

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’m at the point where I can’t support this blog due to the traffic I’m getting.  I really need some donations or something.  I’m pushing about 5 GB of data a day and due to my divorce, I can’t afford to support this continually. I’m not asking for donations, although, they would help, but I…

Posted on June 14, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I know firewalls and have definitely tested and worked with many appliances.  One of the most interesting and successful appliances out there seems to be the Alix board.  These boards are built on Cheap chipsets (VIA) and cheap processors (Geodes).

Smartphone Bloatware, the New Malware.

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I like my smartphone.  I use a Galaxy S II vs. the Galaxy S III.  Why? I didn’t want to pay the $200.00 overhead for a phone that will be worth $300.00 less in 6 months.  This doesn’t mean I don’t get the performance I need. All the carriers (T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon, Vodacom, Virgin, etc.)…
