    ipod touch is the only Apple product i like…

    Ubuntu and VirtualBox (WinXP) is the best thing since the music of the 90s.

  • Vincent B.

    Some are such bad, like the number 10 to 15, and the 17. They might be for begginers, but a good website like your promoting tutorials with bad final results like this is sad.

    • Vincent B.

      Sorry, the 14 is good.
