For tech terms I like:
Wikipedia (http://hen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)

Another idea, if for some reason these ideas do not work, is to just search Google. I know you always hear the "Just Google It" phrase thrown around quite a bit, but you would be amazed at how much you can learn from a search engine. There were questions I had, and all I did was went to Google and typed "What is ________?". It brings up a dictionary explaining the basic definition, followed by links to other areas explaining more in-depth areas.

Srry to correct you, isn't definitions like this?

For exmaple: CHEESE
define:cheese then it'll pop up.
Oh, as for definitions, I goto dictionary.com. it's fast and easy!

For tech terms I like:
Wikipedia

I use Wikipedia for just about all of my knowledge-based needs now, it's amazing. I never knew people would pull together to do things like that.

[Canada1824]

I know, it the best place to know info. and it's free!

en.wikipedia.org is great. It's very updated.

yes, wikipedia gives you some information about computer technologies, but not all, of course. but if you are just a lil into those computer abbriviations and stuff, this site is everything.
but if you are looking for those uncommon computer terms and abbriviations: check this out
