By default, in Ubuntu, the first user account you created during the installation process is also the administrator of the system. Using this user account, he/she is able to perform administrative tasks with the “sudo” command.

By | May 10, 2011 | 11 Comments
Of all the ways to customize your Android phone, the geekiest way has to be rooting your phone, wiping it clean and installing a new ROM.

Use your Android Phone as a Wireless Hotspot (Rooted Phones Only)
By | July 30, 2010 |
We have recently covered how to use your Android phone to access the internet on your computer. This process is known as tethering.
