The new Commodore….PC?

Yes, we have a great fondness of memories for the Commore brand, namely the Vic-20 and the C=64.  A few years back I looked them up to see what the brand is up to and had read that someone bought the brand but not much else beyond that.

Last week I’m doing some PC installs for a company and the replacement systems looks curiously like the C-64!

The name of the company who make this was kinda sticking in my head.  Cybernet.  I had this vague recollection that was the name of the company who bought the Commodore brand.  So I decided to look it up.

Commodore Makes Comeback With Keyboard PC

HA!  I new it!  These things are pretty cool and are barely bigger than a standard-sized keyboard.  They are well worth investigating if you are the type that wants to save some space and wires :)

Should be intersting to see where things go from here with it.

In case you missed it, Google stopped censoring is search services (a deal in which companies must comply with Chinese law and it’s control of information). Today it seems that China is kinda reacting by partially blocking some mobile services.

So, the battle wages on.

Well, here’s what you get when you test out new plugins….duplicate posts for the last 17hrs….although I didn’t think I added it in that long ago. At least it does it’s job…. hopefully the little fix I put in fixes that. We’ll see wen I force a manual fetch in a few mins :P

About us

Having been active around technology for almost 30 years, and seeing many people failing to grasp both it’s importance as well as it’s basic usage, I decided it was high-time to show the world how idiotic they can be. People simply need to have a bigger vision of the tools that have been given to them.
