Azio’s Computer Log

Today I’m putting silly screw-ups on trial!This post is a christmas special and boy is it so darned simple. Think about business, think about marketing, think about big money companies and then times those factors by the obsurdest idea to the power of 1000 and you start to realise how easy it is to completely screw up something so small, it becomes a major problem.

Confusing your customers or just being plain sloppy doesnt pay right? Well, you’d be surprised. Some customers have no choice but to chose the company they finally decide to go with, such limitations can be directly related to the customers position too; but in any case I’m not the sort of person to launch a multi million dollar game and screw up the advert for my business or games development company because, well, that’d be plain stupid. You check this stuff, right? right?

I’ve seen monkeys run a more ordered and socially beneficial society. Sometimes I wonder who’s inside the Zoo.

Its all part of a well known problem I suppose. In some companies the really really important things are done by the really wrong people for the job - those who don’t enjoy or care about their work enough to check things more than once.

It’s totally beyond me why wealthy, resourceful and generally successful companies make stupid mistakes again and again. Do they ever learn from previous experience , sometimes going back over 30 or more years?

Hello all, as you might all know, I work for a company called www.game-zero.com - aka game-zero LTD. We’re a UK company setup in London Docklands, and we literally provide BLEEDING edge cutting-edge technology to the gaming world, the best support, and some crazy game-servers!

They are doing 20% off everything for the next week or so over christmas, If your interested check them out here:

Have fun You Gamerz!

As all of you are probably aware cracking is a common element of the internet fun repotoire, and it just so happens to be one of my keener geeky aspects at testing how fast a machine is. As it turns out my latest machines are great password crackers, who would have thought eh?
Yes, I’m using dure core technology as mentioned in my other articles on azio.org (have a look and see if you can work out what processor I’m using). The results are truly blinding, please see them at the bottom of the page. Clearly slapping the hell out of the other becnhmarks by over double in most cases!

We at azio.org decided to try out our own benchmark on our latest machines ,
 and we were impressed with what we got!

This machine can clearly crack about 2.2 Million MD5 Combinations a Second Bruteforce. thats wowtastic indeed!
