With the advent of the social network, more and more of our lives and consequently our identities, are finding their way to the net. Names, interests, social relationships, birth-dates, and sometimes even financial information. All very valuable information for the right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) person. It shouldn’t come as any surprise...

Believe it or not, there are more games on the Chrome Web Store than just Angry Birds. I know, I found it shocking too. Know what’s even more surprising? Some of them are actually good. As in…really, really good. I suppose it’s not surprise, really. I’ve compiled a list of games you should take a look at, if ever you’re bored and...

In the realm of photo-sharing, we’ve got it made. There’s Imgur, Minus and others than allow stupidly easy drag-and-drop-with-no-account-required to upload and share. I had mentioned SoundCloud recently, and that’s a good audio-sharing site. Truly. My thought was, "Well, it can’t get any easier than this, right?" Wrong. There is...

Messaging systems are the core of what the internet is all about. Remember, email predates the World Wide Web itself, meaning the internet started originally as just a messaging system to get a message from Computer A to Computer B without having to physically move the message by means of storage media. Blog comments have had a tumultuous history. On the...

When referring to the amount of data you can use per month before being charged for overages on a wireless carrier, that’s called a cap, or to be more specific, a bandwidth cap. The cap you’re subjected to varies depending on which wireless carrier you use. A simple web site that will tell you up-to-date information on what the cap is for your...

Let’s say you’re using Google Chrome…but for some reason, you hate Google search. I have no idea why you would – maybe you had a bad experience involving Google Images. Because hey, let’s face it, there are some things you should never search for. No, I’m not compiling a list. Of course, maybe it has nothing to do with...

It’s generally good advice to change your email password periodically. The Hotmail system unfortunately buries how to do that in a sea of menus – but – there’s an alternative method that’s much faster. Instead of accessing the appropriate menu from within Hotmail to change the password, you’re better off just loading up your...

The problem with email is that even if you’re careful, your account might fall victim to hackers. They employ some rather creative methods in order to steal information. Recently, a relative of mine had their email ‘taken over’ by malicious outsiders. They didn’t really do all that much – mostly just used it to send everyone a false...

There are many reasons to use Skype. Free multi-user audio calls between PCs, video chat with quick and easy connectivity, and (if you’re willing to pay) multi-user video chat and PC-to-phone audio calls. Of course, there are also quite a few reasons why you might not want to use Skype. Aside from its recent acquisition by Microsoft (maybe you’ve got...

Over the years there’s been several attempts to get people hooked on internet audio, so to speak. I’m not talking about listening but rather publishing. In the early-to-mid 2000s there were several attempts by companies to tie blogging into audio, but it just never worked. SoundCloud, on the other hand, does work; they are basically the only game in...
