When Things Go Boom

I think there must be some kind of lack of quality control that has become epidemic across the computer hardware industry. Never before have I heard of so many catastrophic hardware failures so close together. The purpose of this blog is not just to inform people of the quality trends in computer hardware, but also the quality of many different things, and ways to potentially alleviate or prevent trouble people may have with these products.
Many things can be discussed here. Pretty much anything I find that warrants an explanation or analysis. And that is a lot of things.
