In commemoration of Earth Hour where every charitable soul shuts off the power for one hour, I’d like to submit Joseph Plazo’s super tips for making the earth live a tad longer:
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.
And, according to at least one source, Microsoft will roll out XP SP3 next Monday.
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 »
Microsoft To Release XP SP3 Next Week
And you guys think that your credit cards are secure.
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. You will bleed your money to the shady call center agent who has access to your entire credit record. Everything.
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.
What a bunch of bull. Continue Reading »
Keyword List Scam
Okay. The 1st Quarter toolbar update’s ended and it looks like we failed to reclaim the PR5 laurel we held mid last year and lost in the bloody 2007 4th Quarter PR update. We’re languishing at PR3- perhaps due to the sudden fall of many high powered blogs that link to us.
Sigh. Iwebtool.com’s pagerank prediction’s gone haywire as well. The service ‘predicts’ we should be back at PR5 by now and yet it’s evident that no change will occur. Until April perhaps.
No matter. PR or no PR boost, we’re still here to give you boys and girls the most cutting reviews for 2008.
We’ll fly even higher!
Any of you folks still suffering from last year’s shakedown?
