I heard the “main theme” soundtrack from Band of Brothers yesterday on the radio, so I decided I wanted to share it with you. Here it is in a YouTube video with some screenshots from the series as well. If you haven’t seen the show at all, this will probably mean nothing to you. But … Read more →

Some rather hardcore fans of the game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, went together to create a movie which they call Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing. The 7 minute long movie is cool and visually impressive – and it only costed them $209.42 to make it. Not bad. I don’t know if the russian signs … Read more →
Apple has released two three new iPhone ads. Last week, we saw “Commute” and this week a new one has aired, called “Concert” (and yet another one, “Shopper”).

You’re not gonna believe this. First when I created my “Funny Pictures: Google Street View Launched In Denmark“-post, I was amazed on how popular it got – and it still is, actually. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to do one more post, but with world-wide funny Google Street View pictures and that one … Read more →
Just a quick tip to you Apple Aperture 3 users out there, who are experiencing a (very) slow running Aperture 3 – like I did. Mine was so bad, I was about to go crazy. It could easily take 5-10 seconds to make adjustments, and that’s just not good enough. I figured Aperture 3 was … Read more →

Another month has passed and that means it’s time to do another round-up post with my income report for TechPatio.com. You may have noticed how I wrote “Money March” in the title to this post.

SONY MDR-NC300D. Perhaps not the most appealing name and probably also not an easy name to relay to older family members when you tell them what you would like for your birthday. The name, however, becomes totally irrelevant once you find out exactly what these earbuds are made of and what they can do… In … Read more →

But very few people actually pay attention to it and most people are not aware of their own IP address and whether or not a login has occurred from a different IP.
