Flash Memory- To Save The Plantet!

With both Windows XP and Windows Vista being available concomitantly on the market, Microsoft is doing nothing more than inviting the consumers to compare the two operating systems.

The Redmond company inherently claimed Vista’s superiority over XP, but the latest Windows client failed to deliver on the Wow promise. Microsoft’s efforts failed to convince consumers beyond the shadow of a doubt that XP is no contest for Windows Vista, but perhaps the company has not been using the right tools. Continue Reading »

Earth Hour: Make Ole Mama Earth Smile!

This week, Microsoft has updated the set of offerings which permit end users to access free copies of Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2.

Despite the fact that giving out free versions of its operating system contradicts the Redmond company’s proprietary business model, both its latest Windows client and its predecessor are up for grabs at no charge at all. The downloads are made available via the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image. Continue Reading »
Windows Vista and XP SP2 Downloads Updated

Now that Windows Vista service pack 1 has been released, all eyes have shifted to Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT)’s plans for Windows XP service pack 3, the final package of updates for the trusty OS.

As of Wednesday afternoon Pacific time, the BitTorrent search engine Mininova listed a 568.73 MB Windows XP Professional SP3 5503 file available for download. The file, which had 112 seeds and 417 leeches, had been downloaded 2083 times since it was posted Tuesday, according to the listing. Continue Reading »

I don’t care if it’s Gold or Silver, Platinum or unlimited credit. Magnetic stripe or smart chip. Whether Citibank or Chase issued it- you’re in heavy risk of being defrauded.   You can lose a great deal of money- and I don’t mean about getting robbed  on the street.

Credit Card Security? Oxymoronic!

I got over 2000 bookmarks (no joke!) arranged in scores of folders. I no longer know which is which and what leads where. I almost decided to delete the entire mish mash in one blow this weekend had I not stumbled across StartPix.

Startpix is an online service offering a novel method of bookmarking.  The free signup gets you a grid to store bookmarks in a graphical manner, using icons on a grid page to show websites instead of hohum lists. The icons can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the grid and spiced up with functional blocks that allow RSS feed and search boxes. This homepage can be set as your startpage so you can got to your fave sites soon as you start up your browser.

But there’s more! Continue Reading »
Driven Nuts With Your 20000 Bookmarks?

Very often, Id stumble across a website or auction selling magical keyword lists. The list allegedly contains highpaying keywords for the Adsense Program. The vendor claims that using those keywords in a site can make you earn up to $60 per click because companies bid very highly on them.
