In our never-ending quest for better, faster, and cooler VoIP technology, we bit the bullet last week and purchased the $130 top-of-the line CuBox-i4Pro, a state-of-the-art Quad-Core, all-in-one computer that’s 2x2x2 inches small. If you hurry, NewEggFlash has the i4PRO on sale for $119 with free shipping until Tuesday, August 26. If you’re not feeling especially wealthy this week, the $85 Dual-Core CuBoX-i2 should work just well minus WiFi and Bluetooth. And there are a few other specs worth writing… Read More ›

If you’re not one to turn down a new challenge and you consider yourself an open source purist, then this Bud’s for you. Last month we introduced the latest and greatest Ubuntu 14 offering with Incredible PBX. And today it’s RedHat’s turn with the brand new CentOS 7. Be forewarned that CentOS 7 is a very different Linux animal than CentOS 6.5, and it’s just two weeks old. RHEL 7 is only six weeks old. There are more than a… Read More ›

If you’re like us, spending $50 a month or more on a home security system is a bit like pouring money down the toilet. Add to that the complications of getting one to work reliably with VoIP without spending another $50 a month on a Ma Bell vintage telephone line just adds insult to injury. So perhaps you can share our elation when an email arrived last week announcing Straight Talk’s new Remote Alert System, a $10/month cellular-based system that… Read More ›

It’s been a wild ride with the $35 Raspberry Pi®. Last month, sales of the Raspberry Pi topped three million.

Summer has always been the season for experimentation at Nerd Vittles, and 2014 is shaping up to be a banner year.
