printers help...

This is a post about printers (thanks again Scott for all the great suggestions).  But there's several different printers out there some new, some old and some that are still ahead of their times.  But there's several things you want to look for while in the market for buying a printer, like for example do you want it to be network enabled or just plug n play.  But for my personal setup, I'd have to get a network enabled printer, because there will be more then one computer on it; so a network enabled one is a must for me (like this one HP Lasterjet Pro Laser Printer P1102W ).   Which I use newegg quite a bit for a lot of my tech toys (haha), but keep in mind there's such a thing as over kill; I do a lot of printing so that one I just showed you, has been to do a lot.  But if you're just going to do some printing, you may want to invest in a lower scale one.  Because the one I showed you, prints 19 pages a minute, which is fast for color printing and in such high detail.  So my first suggestion is to take stock in what you will need it for and what you will be doing it for, if you're just going to print off a few papers; you would be better off just going with a lower scale printer.  But here are things to keep in mind while buying a printer.

1. How many pages can it bring
2. Picture quality 
3. Network enabled and or plug n play
4. Cost of ink for your new printer

Keep those things in mind, an chances are you will go home with a printer you will be happy with cheers for now folks.

Pandora verses Spotify

Steaming media has a strong foundation nowadays, but as far as streaming music Pandora and Spotify are two of the leaders.  An I've had both services both free and pay versions of both as well.  To start off with Pandora, is one of the best streaming music in my humble opinion; because you've got a much broader selection of music as spoken word (like comedy routines as well as music).  But Spotify has more independent artist and the ability to download song directly to your device.  But each has its cons as well,Spotify is more expensive for less selection, but Pandora doesn't have the ability to save songs to your device and less indie music.  Also if you got devices like chromecast, Pandora and Spotify both can be streamed to your HDTV,.  So that being said get listening and turn it up loud.

SteamOS: game on....

This post is a post that I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate, steamos is a dedicated operating system; games and only games.  An one of the good things is it can run as a server environment too and I know that there's a lot of people who want a dedicated server environment to play all the games they love to play.  An since steam opened up their platform to other operating systems was a huge leap, especially for nix admins like me.  But they've went a step further by creating a operating system dedicated to just games and that can also run a server environment, so it can handle multiple users and from different locations as well.  So if you're a hard core gamer, give it a look and if you're technically inclined turn it into a server and have lan parties.  Enjoy folks!
