FAQ


1) Is this site about hacking?

Hacking has several meanings in the technology field: a) a clever or quick fix to a technological problem; b) a innovative solution or shortcut to an already solved problem; c) or a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features otherwise were unavailable to them.

That being said, this blog may at times contain hacks in the sense of the definition above, although most of the time it will feature programs, DIY, how-tos and other interesting features and guides about all things technology. However, this does not mean I will post ways to illegally break into a computer or cause damage to anyone. I do not endorse "cracking".

2) Will you post my tip or trick?

I will try to review all tips and tricks sent to my email (hackadoodle@gmail.com) but I do not promise or guarantee that it will make it in my posts. So I guess I'm setting the bar at "impress me". But send it anyways... Who knows? I might be impressed either way.

3) Is this site all about computers?

Once again, this blog is not just about computers but about technology, although computers and computer programs will be heavily referenced and posted about (after all, computers and computer programs cover about 80% of technology to date).

4) Will you only cover Windows programs and tricks?

Simple answer: no.

Complex answer: Is Windows the only Operating System? I believe in supplying information cross-platform. There exists many Operating Systems out there, along with many innovative and just plain cool applications out there for each OS. Why limit the spotlight on those apps?

5) What if I have another question not covered by this FAQ?

Any other questions may be directed to me at: hackadoodle@gmail.com. Also, this FAQ will be constantly updated, so fear not.


Please feel free to comment on each post. With our collaborative efforts, we may all reach interesting and innovative ways to live with technology in this crazy electronic world. Happy Hacking!
