Why It Sucks Being The IT Guy [INFOGRAPHIC]

One of my favourite comedy shows has to be, without a doubt, The IT Crowd. Before, the IT department in a company had this image of being the fun killers that stopped you from browsing Facebook on the company computers during your lunch break. Post-IT Crowd, suddenly the IT departments were hip, cool and fun people to be around. What a difference a TV show makes (and it's set to return next year).

The Advertisers Guide To Mobile [INFOGRAPHIC]

We've had Web 1.0 and 2.0. Now we're into the era of the Smartphone Web, the time when every man and his dog has a smartphone in their pocket, playing Angry Birds on the bus, and doing price comparison shopping in the middle of a store. My wife and I are extremely guilty of that. We've been thrown out of many shops because we've stood there with our phones and compared prices with online stores to see who is cheaper.

Smartphone - Smarter Healthcare? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Whoever said that a smartphone is the extension of someone's hand was spot-on. For it seems that everytime someone gets an ache or a pain, the first thing they do is consult their phone or tablet, not their doctor. Take that Doogie Howser. Move over Doctor House. Doctor iPhone is in the room and is taking charge. And I have to admit to doing it myself on occasion, using sites like WebMD or even just Google.

Stumble Through 2012 [INFOGRAPHIC]

One of the greatest inventions ever made on the Internet, has to be without a doubt, Stumbleupon. Stumbleupon is responsible for people finding websites they wouldn't normally find, as well as destroying an entire day in front of the computer. You begin stumbling through a few sites and 6 hours later, you're sitting in a zombie-like state, glazed eyes, finger clicking automatically on the mouse key, droning "just one more site, just one more...."

If you are an Android app developer, this is the golden moment to get your app out there in front of all those eyeballs.

Is Photography Dead? The Mobile Photo Explosion [INFOGRAPHIC]

It seems like only yesterday that I was taking my camera film to the store to be developed. Then I would return a few days later to discover that I had messed up a lot of the photos with heads missing, people cut in half, badly lit rooms, red eyes making people look like vampires....and I would end up cursing the amount of money I had just spent getting the roll of film developed. But then digital cameras came along.......

The 11 Years Of The iPod [INFOGRAPHIC]

I can fondly remember my first iPod. I was a late entrant to the whole Apple craze, and after years of owning crappy MP3 players that broke down constantly and had bad sound, I decided to take the plunge and buy an iPod. At the time, it was one of those big white chunky ones with the spinning wheel in the middle and to me, this thing was revolutionary. I ended up listening to more music than I had ever listened to in my entire life.

Email - Friend Or Foe? [INFOGRAPHIC]

One of the first things I do in the morning, when I sit down at my desk, is check my email. And my job involves so much email that I can pretty much guarantee that I will spend at least the first hour of my working day getting through all of the new stuff and following up on older emails. It is a tedious part of the job, but unfortunately it's also a fact of life. Every office-based job these days involves sending and receiving email.

Best iOS Apps For Mobile Learning [INFOGRAPHIC]

The "problem" with having a smartphone is that there are simply too many apps to try out. Just as you've found 10 good apps to try, another 20 come along, demanding your time and attention. Suddenly, everything else in your life is put on hold, as you try out the latest new iOS game or the latest Android productivity app (ironic, I know). But which ones are the best in their respective categories?

The Health Hazards Of Tablet Use [INFOGRAPHIC]

I've never really thought about this until now, but if you use a tablet extensively, you have to watch how you're seated when you're using it. Just like how you sit in front of a normal computer matters to your back and neck posture, the same rules equally apply to when you're using your iPad, Android tablet or Kindle Fire.

Paywall Trend On The Internet [INFOGRAPHIC]

Being a former newspaper journalist, I can sympathise to a very large extent with the plight of print media. With the relentless onslaught of the Internet, and peoples expectations that "information should be free", print media is caught between a rock and a very hard place. If they modernise and make their news sites open and free to all, they start to hemorrhage money right away, the quality of investigative journalism goes down and soon that same staff are laid off.

The Anatomy of Nerds & Geeks [INFOGRAPHIC]

If you are a regular reader of MakeUseOf, and you like computers & technology, then there's a good chance you fall into one of two camps - the Nerd or the Geek. Both have their own interests and identifying marks, but on the other hand, there is also a lot that they have in common. The question is, which camp do you fall into?

Facebook Psychology - Is Addiction Affecting Our Minds? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Internet Addiction Disorder (otherwise known as Facebookalitis) is set to become the big psychological disorder of the 21st century - and it seems we have mostly Facebook to thank for that. Thanks to the social media goliath, it seems that we are turning into a legion of junkies who salivate whenever we hear the sound of a new status notification arriving or a Friend Request being approved.

Halloween Trick or Treat [INFOGRAPHIC]

Since today is Halloween, I have decided to take a spooky look at technology in one of our regular weekly infographics. Don't worry, I promise not to bite - not unless you want me to. Our infographic today, courtesy of Fixmo.com shows technology and business ideas which have become outmoded, discredited and sent to the spooky dead tech graveyard.

The High Cost Of Printing [INFOGRAPHIC]

Back when I worked in a government department in 2000, I tried to persuade the boss to switch to a paperless office. I was appalled at the amount of paper and ink that was being wasted and, being the filing clerk, I was getting the worst end of the deal. But back then, the idea of a paperless office was too radical. Fast forward 12 years later, and the idea of going paper-free is not as crazy as it sounded back then. But there are still companies who insist on printing.

The Rise Of e-Reading [INFOGRAPHIC]

I have a nice paper book collection in my office of 800 titles (and counting), but part of me wonders if, in 50 years or so, that library will be a rare endangered collection. With the rise of eBooks, Kindles and Nooks, there is the possibility that we could all be reading digitally at some point in the future, and the paper book could go the way of the dodo and the dinosaurs.

Solving Crime With Social Media [INFOGRAPHIC]

If Dick Wolf is looking for his next police procedural drama series, I have a suggestion for him - Law and Order - Social Media Unit. A dedicated team of detectives who use Facebook and Twitter to hunt down their prey. These are their stories. Clunk-clunk. Yes, I can see it becoming the next big hit. Royalty checks care of MakeUseOf.com please.

Goodbye Couch Potato, Hello Second Screen Surfer [INFOGRAPHIC]

I immediately identified with today's infographic, provided by Realplayer, because it describes my wife and I to a tee. When we are both watching television, we are alternating between looking at the screen and looking at our phones. It's comforting to know that this is a widespread practice, and not something anti-social, as someone once told me. I wasn't listening though as I was checking my phone at the time.

How Safe Is Your PIN? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Ah, the trusty PIN number, the 4 digits that separates you from your money. We use our bank PIN number in a wide variety of situations, whether it's taking money out of the ATM machine or paying with our card in a shop. But you would be amazed (or perhaps not) at the stupidity of some people when it comes to the 4 digits they need to keep secret the most. For it seems that a lot of people seem to have this irresistible urge to tell everyone their number.
