I may not be the only one who wonders the same thing so I decided to delve deeper into this so that I can settle my mind and here is what I have come up with. Related posts:

MFC has been around on Windows much longer but does that make it have an edge over Qt? Well keep reading to find out Related posts:

For hardcore Ubuntu and other Linux distro users, it is not beyond reach to envision a viable desktop in use with occasional visits to Google or the Ubuntu help pages. For Windows and Mac users, that will not make the cut. One thing for sure you have to admit Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS is a step up from Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10. Related posts:

There are even hotter debates about whether Adobe Flash is in the last days of its lifetime. There is plenty that could be said on this topic but today I am more into looking into the Pros and Cons of Adobe Flash vs HTML5 Video. Related posts:

To know when and where it is appropriate to use either SQLite or MySQL databases management systems, it is first and foremost important to know what the difference is between them, if at all there is any difference.
