On Microsoft Office Online, you can find lots of Excel Templates for managing budgets. Scrolling through the selections, [...]
I don’t know about you, but when I wake up in the morning to the sound of my phone ringing, I’m not a happy guy. And when the called ID shows some toll free number or an “unavailable”, it is worse. That’s because it is a 95% chance of being a telemarketing call.
It is the [...]

Gmail, launched in March 2004, has grown to be one of the most-used free e-mail services on the internet. While it doesn’t have a large of a userbase as Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail, [...]
Chances are if you are a reader of this site, you are into computers. Also, chances are that you eventually upgrade your computers and then have to figure out what to do with the old one. Recycling is an option, but have you ever thought about exactly what happens to your hardware after you drop [...]
You’ve heard time and time again from Linux fans that "Linux can do anything Windows can do". Is this true? Yes. However what the Linux fans usually don’t mention is how to do the stuff you do in Windows in Linux.

Symantec stated however that spam will jump [...]

There’s a lot of people that use Yahoo! and their services within, but most people never heard of Yahoo! Live.
Yahoo! Live is (and soon to be was) Yahoo!’s version of live broadcasting but it never really took off with the internet masses. As such it was forgotten quickly.

As most of my readers have probably realized, more and more of our daily computer experience has been moving onto the Internet. An application which runs on the Internet (in your web browser) is commonly referred to as a “cloud application”.

Most of you have probably heard the term ‘domain squatter’ which is someone who registers a domain with the sole intent of selling to someone else who has a legitimate need for it (at a substantially increased price).
