Perhaps more annoying than the FreeCreditReport-dot-com commercials are the constant wireless service providers touting their “we can do this and they cannot” on our 3G/4G network. One thing they do not explain though is exactly what 3G and 4G service actually is.
As you can probably guess, it refers to available bandwidth with the higher number [...]
So, here’s the question…
If expense was not an issue, would you get yourself a Mac?
Yes, it costs more to acquire a Mac. IT can be hard for some to justify the idea of buying a Mac when you can easily find a Windows PC with better specs for less money. We’re all familiar with the [...]
I have to admit this caught me by surprise. IE8 is evidently the world’s most-used browser, according to a report by Net Applications. The surprise comes from the fact it’s not IE7 that’s holding the top spot.
It is true that IE8 is the best IE you can use, due to the fact it’s the least-crashable, [...]
I utilize middle click shortcuts in my browser all the time. By middle clicking a link, it opens the location in a new tab and by middle clicking a tab, it closes it. So when I ‘accidentally’ did this on my Windows 7 taskbar I was pleasantly surprised to see that is works (almost) exactly [...]
What if I told you that there was a cell phone in 1995 that could make phone calls, check email, send/receive faxes, do calendaring, had the ability add in peripheral devices and had a full touchscreen?

Don’t believe me? Watch the first one minute and [...]
Why would you want to block sites? Maybe you have kids you don’t want going to specific places on the internet. Maybe you’re trying to cut down on data usage because of a bandwidth cap forced upon you by your ISP. No matter the reason, people do have need to block specific sites from time [...]
If you have a card reader on your computer, you have probably noticed that Windows create a new drive for each reader. While this can be useful if you use each reader, but the odds are there are probably several you do not use. So instead of keeping them around, you can suppress them using [...]
For a few years now, the way in which Yahoo! and Windows Live does public profiles is nothing short of ridiculous. There are way too many options, way too many things to turn off, and the real sad part is that most of you who read this didn’t know about all the crapola that comes [...]
If you ever have to give presentations or need to view someone’s computer remotely, you have to run through some type of web meeting/remote desktop sharing suite. While there are tons out there, a really promising service is Dimdim.
Dimdim allows you to host web meetings for up to 20 people (using the free edition) with [...]
Last week I posed a hypothetical question asking what free products would you pay for if they were not free, so as a follow up what programs have you paid for? For most people Windows/Mac OS is the first thing that comes to mind, so we can leave that one off the list.
So here goes [...]
