Got another means of protecting yourself against scam and fraud, both online and off. If there’s a sucker born every minute, there’s a scam artist born every two. You should always be on the lookout for somebody who’s looking to make a quick buck at the expense of others. Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy [...]
Well, folks. That’s it – we’ve reached the end of the line. The last days of 2012 have finally passed us by, and we’ve moved forward into 2013.

So…Google’s Chromebooks didn’t make as big a wave as they were hoping – which is to say that they’ve barely even made a ripple. It was definitely a cool idea, to be fair: unfortunately, it was one which only caught the interest of a very niche market. The problem, after all, with an ultra lightweight [...]
A lot of the people who claim that Online Privacy is dead point to Facebook as an example. After all, Zuckerberg and his boys haven’t exactly proven adept at handling the personal information of other people with a great deal of integrity. Facebook’s got a long, colored history of privacy failures under its belt; one [...]
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” right? Most everybody out there loves Christmas; if not for the consumerism, then for the time spent with friends and family. It’s a time for holiday cheer, for celebration and gift giving and shopping and delicious, delicious food. It’s also identity theft prime-time. Today’s infographic presents some [...]
Need to send an extra big file to somebody? Well, if you’re like a lot of people, you’ve got a bit of a dilemma. Can you email something that big? Well, maybe not. For example, Gmail has a maximum email size of 25MB, and that’s only internally to Gmail. So, if you’re on Gmail and [...]
The typical user of Windows uses Internet Explorer as their web browser just because it is there. They don’t know any better, really. To the geekier types, Internet Explorer has, well… a reputation. For sucking. People flee to the many alternatives like Firefox, Opera, and these days, Chrome. Well, Microsoft is fighting back in an [...]
To be fair, this one’s a little late. Probably would have been a good idea to get it posted earlier in the month. Still, there’s some valuable information here – it shouldn’t be discounted just because it’s a little dated. Anyway, enough rambling; let’s get right to the point. Christmas is nearly upon us. Like [...]
Another quick tip for everyone today. The Internet can be a dangerous place. Cyber-criminals are getting smarter; the tools they use to infect other systems are becoming more sophisticated. You’ll want to do everything in your power to protect yourself. Active X Blockers, virus scanners, and ad blockers are just the tip of the iceberg. [...]
Today, I’ve got a trio of infographics for you, all centered around a lovely little video site called YouTube. I’m sure you’ve all heard of it – after all, it’s kind of a big deal. It’s the third most visited website on the Internet, with hundreds of millions of monthly unique visitors, and the equivalent [...]
Shopping around has never been so simple. With just a few clicks and a couple keywords, you can find virtually any information you could possibly desire – and that includes information on a product or business you’re interested in searching up. Here’s a few pages to get you on the right track- there are many [...]
Previously, I posted an infographic which dealt with the intricacies of social media addiction, its impacts on one’s day to day life, and, finally, how to tell if one was addicted. One of the most distressing features of that infographic was, without a doubt, the revelation of just how many people from the younger generation [...]
There is a particularly vile breed of scum populating the corners of the blogosphere. These men and women haven’t got a single shred of originality between them – yet somehow they continue to come up with new, regular, and fresh content for their blogs. That it’s not theirs is just a minor technicality – what [...]
Just a quick one for you folks today. Some time ago, I was at a friend’s place. We were about to do a bit of gaming, so I pulled out my laptop, meaning to connect to her wireless. Unfortunately, she couldn’t actually remember her wireless key – nor could her family. Now, ordinarily, this problem [...]
As I’m sure many of you do, I have a Netflix account. It’s pretty awesome- for a paltry $10 a month, I’ve access to a whole library of movies and TV shows which I can watch whenever and wherever I desire (so long as I’ve a stable Internet connection, anyway). Unfortunately, since I live outside [...]
