A mixture of a friend and some grievances about technology make for the perfect brew for a rant. This episode of course tackles the usual tech talk, but also has a special segment to breaking down some misconceptions shaped around the the cost effectiveness between a Mac and a PC. For those who are interested in the other subjects, we cover a new college research website, Unigo. Followed by a unique desktop management utility called BumpTop and than a easy/convenient way to style your firefox browser with the Firefox Personas add-on. You’re just moments away from another Tech On Edge Weekly!

Some would call this an good episode with some minor technical difficulties, but I’ve seen this episode as an “All you can eat” rant. As Chris took the quiet stage, I took the high road into a land of misfit technology. On my road to the highlands, I encountered computer case designs that were so unpractical that I was forced to look off into the distant sea. This where I saw an little old man covering up the “powered by Windows” portion of the welcome to Cuba sign with “powered by Linux.” Instantly I felt the pain from the islanders as they had no clue what to do in the terminal. I was forced to reflect on happier thoughts of data security both aboard and domestically. As my eyes began to water, I was overwhelmed with reassurance knowing that my data is secured as its being transferred. It was then out of the corner of my watery eye, I saw a pirate ship of old trending dangerously close to a ship consumed with an iron will. Some shots were fired, but I was took far away to see outcome. I was forced to press the stop button and drift back to reality.
