Why Does a Computer Need RAM? (Must Read, Seriously)

Retail cost? $134.99...with free shipping!
Packing over 1,500 pages, Scott Mueller’s Upgrading and Repairing PCs is now my personal paper weight. Foolishly purchased a while back, the book masterfully destroyed my hopes of one day being able to use words like “mainframe” and “gigabyte” in a simple, coherent English sentence.

LonePlacebo: The New Beginning

If a blog is published and no one is around to visit it, does the blog exist?

Man! That took a long and hard(That’s what she said!) amount of thinking!

LonePlacebo is a frequent mover these days. First, it was born in a house named Weebly and later transfered over to WordPress. While the latest change in scenery is less pronounced than before, I feel that this may be the last time I ever have to write another post titled, “LonePlacebo Has Moved!”

To my scarce population of loyal readers: I send my greatest appreciation to you all and promise that your devotion has not been in vain.

To the new visitors of LonePlacebo: I look forward to bringing you countless LOLz moments into your unspectacular life and hope that you would reciprocate in kind fashion.

From now until December 15, 2010, I will work and dedicate my full effort into providing valuable content to my readers. Topics discussed will focus primarily on technology, social media, current news, and my personal life. Though not set in stone, I will have to remind myself constantly to adhere to these four central subjects.

I, as founder, editor-in-chief, CEO, and chairman of LonePlacebo, hereby declare my full commitment into establishing a successful blog by all means necessary and proper.

Sincerely,
