30GB Zunes Freeze on Startup

It sounds almost surreal to actually happen, but many Zune owners are waking up this morning to find that their 30 GB Zunes aren't working. Upon first reading the headline over at Gizmodo, we were thinking that it was just a few isolated cases, but after further investigation, it's happening to many, many people.

Announcing the 2008 CyberNet Awards

It's that time of the year again! We are just a few days away from ringing in the new year, and just like last year we're going to do so in style. We've got some awards that we want to give out to those who have earned it. These are companies and services that offer products we (as in Ashley and myself) would hate to see shut their doors.

Happy Holidays!

It's Christmas and we just wanted to take a minute to tell those of you celebrating it, to have a wonderful day! We're going to assume that many of you were given electronic gadgets and other goodies as gifts, so feel free to tell us what you got.

Trouble Transitioning Into the Digital Age?

Recently I have become more aware of people around me who are struggling to transition into the digital age. For example, I was recently introduced to someone who uses email to communicate, only because they have to for work. If it were up to them, they wouldn't use it at all. What's worse is that this person prints a copy of every single email they receive, not for recording purposes though.

Why I Jailbroke My iPhone 3G

I've been an iPhone owner for about a year now, and I have jailbroken it off and on throughout the time that I've owned it. When I first got the device I jailbroke it to play with some of the apps people were developing, but I really didn't see any that were must-haves, and they especially didn't touch the quality of what's available in the official App Store today.

Remove or Reinstall .NET Framework

The other day I was having troubles with one of my machines regarding the .NET framework. As you probably already know many Windows applications require that you have a specific version of the .NET framework installed (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, etc...) in order for them to function properly.

Where is the Browser Market Headed?

There has been more talk about web browsers in the last few weeks than any time I can remember in the past. Google Chrome came out of the Beta phase, Opera unveiled the first Alpha release of version 10, Internet Explorer 8 is suspected to have a 3rd Beta coming in the next month, and Firefox 3.1 Beta 2 was just unveiled.

And the Winners Are…

When Ryan and I originally planned out the schedule for this Giveaway, we thought we'd have no problem announcing the winners on the site by Friday at 8:00 PM Central Time. We thought wrong! There were over 80 people to notify via email that they won, before announcing the winners on the site. Believe it or not, several emails were returned to us which meant that we needed to pick new winners.
