Toddler Keys is a independently developed program by a geeky dad who had the problem with his kids always opening his cd-rom tray and pushing random buttons on his keyboard. With Toddler Keys enabled the computer will no longer respond normally to random button pressing. Instead, the computer will now play different sounds and will show pictures on the screen. It’s brilliant really, the kids can mess around without actually doing anything, and it keeps them entertained so they don’t go after the other stuff in your office....

Marvel are all set to have a jam-packed 2017 when it comes to television, and the number of projects they’re producing this year continues to grow. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. just went on hiatus after delivering one of its strongest episodes yet, but will be back with the future wide open in 6 weeks.

Netflix and Marvel struck gold with their street-level series, starring morally gray comic book heroes like Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist (oh, and that Punisher guy). From the get go, the Marvel/Netflix deal involved an eventual convergence of their popular live-action heroes in Marvel’s Defenders team-up, which began filming last October. When the series launches next year, it promises to create Marvel’s first streaming superhero crossover, which takes its name from an otherwise unrelated classic superhero lineup....

Magnum P.I. is a confusing title for anyone who isn’t familiar with the world of crime and investigations. But the current CBS show, which is actually a reboot of an ’80s smash-hit show with a similar name, is quite straightforward. The investigative drama follows Thomas Magnum, a Ferrari driving former navy seal turned private investigator (yes, that’s what P.I.) means) as he solves cases in Hawaii. Because he tackles most of the major cases, Magnum always leaves us wondering if Hawaii needs a police department at all....

Mark Hamill shares a fan-made image of a Star Wars LEGO set that should be real. When the original movie came out in 1977, few could have predicted the phenomenon it’d become, meaning retailers were ill-prepared for the demand for Star Wars merchandise. But the days of Kenner’s infamous empty box campaign are in the very distant past. Now, not only is the unveiling of Star Wars tie-in products an unofficial holiday, everything from action figures to cases of bottled water have the franchise branding....

Windows/Linux Virtualization on the Mac is mostly a 3 player game these days. You have the open source/free VirtualBox that was purchased by Oracle as part of its Sun acquisition two years ago. It is a basic emulator which works as a get what you pay for kind of basic functionality solution.

I can’t say much about other editors cause I haven’t used them much ( I’m biased with Vim ). Anyway, Let’s make something out of Vim, that really does the Job god damn well....

The MCU and Marvel’s Netflix output feel like separate entities, but one man is doing his utmost to hold them both together. First launching in 2015, Daredevil kicked off Marvel’s string of Netflix shows in impressive fashion, helping to wipe the painful memory of the last live-action interpretation of the character with an R-rated style and critically acclaimed story. Daredevil was confirmed by Disney CEO Bob Iger and Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb to be set within the same Marvel Cinematic Universe as the movie series and Agents of SHIELD, but told a story confined to a New York City still reeling from the aftermath of Loki’s attack seen in The Avengers....

It’s been a week since iOS 10 debuted on iPhone and iPad, and now it’s the Mac’s turn with macOS Sierra. OS X is officially no more; long live macOS (version 10.12 to be precise).
