I think I did my first informercial….

A few months ago I heard about this product. Andy McCaskey talked about it on a holiday wish-list. Well little did he know that we were going to get not only a first hand look at this stuff that looks like Silly- Putty, but also do an interview for the product.

The product is called Cyber Clean. It’s a innovative way to clean the crud off the computer keyboard, mouse and even ports on a laptop like a USB port. The gelatinous substance gets in the cracks and crevices and takes the dirt, dust, hair and other particles off your devices. It can be used many times, but it will tell you when it’s time to change when the color goes from a bright neon to a dark green.

Jeffrey Powers talks with Allen about this interesting product. Kara Karsten volunteers her Macbook to be the guinea pig for the video. They come in two flavors – Home / Office and Automotive. Allen also mentions Cyber Clean is great for getting pet hair out of corners or even duct vents.

If you get a lot of business cards, you might want to take a look at this. It’s a scanner that really is a camera which takes a picture at 600 dpi. Both the document scanner and the business card scanner fold down to be portable, but then you open them up and get your information scanned.

The HoverCam is a full document and business card scanner. With their software, you can collect and organize the documents. Best part – the software is FREE. You don’t even need the scanner. Just download off their site. It works with Adobe AIR 2.0, so as long as you have a computer that can run AIR, you are good to go.

Jeffrey Powers talks with Gene on the HoverCam and how it can turn all your documents into nothing. The business card scanner is not available until later this year, but with the $80 price tag, it will be a quick addition. The Document scanner comes in 2 flavors – 2 MP for $139 and 5 MP for $199.

2004 – Mozilla launches the web browser that would finally give Internet Explorer a run for it’s money.

The Gecko layout engine browser would be available for Windows, Mac and Linux – with it being the standard browser in current flavors of Ubuntu. Last year on it’s 3.5 release, it set a new worlds record download. Firefox currently takes 1/5 of the market browser share.

Five years ago, I was an experienced Windows user, conversant in all flavors of Windows for home use and in Windows NT/2000/2003 networking, and pretty good with Windows domain networking.Today, I am a raving Linux fanboy, as Jeffrey can attest. What happened?

I learned about Linux.

Someone I know theorized the other day that the mere fact that Windows 7 is being talked about as the Linux killer, when, five years ago, only the geekier among us had ever heard of Linux, means that Linux Has Arrived. I don’t know if Linux Has Arrived, but I thought it would be interesting to discuss some commonly held myths about Linux and consider how much truth each one contains.
