Coburn’s Guide to a cleaner and faster Windows PC – Part 1
Let’s face it. Over time, our computers get cluttered up with loads of rubbish such as, but not limited to, left-over junk from system programs and games, hotfix uninstallers and the like. This guide will show you how to speed up your system without having to spend a penny on commerical tools.
Samsung Galaxy Tab gets the Ice Cream Sandwich love by the TE4M…
A brave group of developers from the XDA-Developers forums have ported a version of Android 4.0.3, Ice Cream Sandwich to the original Samsung Galaxy Tab (model P1000). This port provides a quality working ICS ROM that is suitable enough to replace the stock ROM that the Galaxy Tab ships with.
Basic features work flawlessly, but a few of the luxuries like camera are broken (you can use the viewfinder, but picture taking & video recording are no-go). Still, it is excellent to see Ice Cream Sandwich grace a older-generation device with decent hardware even in today’s standards.
Review: Super Mario 3D Land for Nintendo 3DS
At first glance, it looks like your average Mario platformer. The box shows Mario jumping over to some Bricks, while avoiding a Goomba with a Tandooki tail. But then you put the game cart into the 3DS, and this is where it shines. This review will be seperated into “Graphics”, “Gameplay”, “Audio” and then a summary of the game in general.
iMessage comes with iLeakTexts – It keeps sending Texts Stolen iPhones Even After Wipeout
Did your iPhone recently get stolen or lost? Well, beware. The latest security issue on iOS devices is that iMessage, one of the core iOS features will still send you messages to stolen iPhones, even after you’ve decided to nuke your data using “Remote Wipe”.
As quoted from Gizmodo:
Beware: if your iPhone gets stolen, it will keep receiving messages sent via iMessage even after a remote wipe out and deactivation. The thief—or whoever buys the stolen terminal—would be able to read whatever is written to you.

Coburn’s Domain gets it’s hands on a build of Windows 8…

Mozilla Firefox 6: Taking Firefox to the next level.
Mozilla, the creator of the web browser, Firefox, are trigger happy with the release gun, and have released a beta of Firefox 6. This is the 2nd time Mozilla has push another version of major version of their web-browser this year.
Here at Coburn’s Domain, the geeks are testing this new update out, and what we’ve noticed is that so far that the “cold boot” of Firefox 6 is faster than Firefox 5, however, subquent loads of Firefox after it’s first run load much quicker – we like anything that’s faster than it’s older sister.
Firefox 5 goes Gold, improves areas that Firefox 4 left behind
Mozilla has just released Firefox 5 ahead of schedule, and to say the least, it’s faster than it’s older brother, Firefox 4.
While Firefox 3.6 is considered obsolete, Firefox 4 will be slowly phased out in favor for Firefox 5. Startup times are still not as fast as Google Chrome or Opera, but Firefox 5 is faster to start up after the initial “First Run”, but the browser also seems snappier.
