Internet

Not everyone likes Google+, and I make it no secret that I don’t exactly care for it. G+ fanboys always give me grief whenever I pan the G+ service, but that’s par for the course, so it’s expected. Anyway, there is a way to delete your G+ profile without killing off your YouTube (or Gmail) account. The written directions on how to do it are...

In yet another maneuver by a big internet company that takes away yet more privacy, YouTube is now, shall we say, strongly urging users to use their real name to comment with via their G+ accounts. I’m not saying this is bad, but I’m not saying it’s good either. I suppose it depends on the application. Sites like the Chicago Tribune recently...

Sometimes it’s tough staying focused. No matter how hard you try, your brain simply doesn’t want to co-operate with you. The presence of the Internet certainly doesn’t help matters, either – it’s way too easy to click away from what you’re working on, and then realize you’ve been looking at pictures of cats for five...

Craigslist is one of those sites that I personally consider one of the best places to buy and sell stuff on the internet. Or get free stuff for that matter (like Tampa Craiglist’s free section). Cars get listed all the time on Craigslist, but unfortunately when performing a search specifically for used vehicles, it sometimes takes a while to find exactly...

Cloud storage is being touted as the best thing since cushioned toilet seats. But is it really? I personally don’t think so. Now before continuing, I’m going to be a little more specific. Technically, anything stored on the internet is “in the cloud”. If you use webmail for example, that’s in the cloud. What I’m specifically...

Y’know, sometimes I just don’t understand Big Cable. According to recent quality reports (like this one), in many areas of the United States you now are getting what you pay for concerning your ISP, and in some instances even getting a little extra. What this means is that if you’re in the US and using a Big Cable provider (AT&T, Time...

With the release of Google Penguin, it’s more important than ever to make certain that your WordPress site does not have spam on it. Many Professional wordpress themes come with tools that make it easier for you to control the comments on your blog and to keep an eye on other problem areas for websites. WordPress itself has tools built into it, such as...

As a buyer, eBay is easy to use and there’s no question about that. You can peruse the products, pick what you want, buy and most of the time you’ll get exactly what you paid for. Of course it’s true that pretty much everyone has a horror story or two (or more) from getting bad product from an eBay seller, but fortunately these days those...

Now, don’t get me wrong- I love Steam, and I’ve the play time to prove it. Occasionally, however, one might want to shirk Steam’s strict rules about how one’s titles are managed. And believe it or not…Steam doesn’t actually have everything. While there are literally thousands of games in the platforms not-inconsiderable...

Google+ is Google’s not so loved social network. Lucky for Google, the Google+ network has kinda got it made in the shade as far as gaining users goes. Here’s why: Owned by Google This is the main reason, Google+ is owned by Google. Millions of users visit Google everyday, so it can get users easily and fast. People go to the site, read up on the new...
