It appears the  Asus Eee PC faces more and more challengers these days. Among those after its head is Blue Digital’s Deep Blue H1. Should Asus be afraid? Definitely.

 Unlike the Eee PC, this tiny PC boasts a 1.0GHz VIA Esther processor, partnered to a 7-inch 800 x 480 display, along with 1GB of RAM, a 40GB hard drive (very slim), and the LinPus Linux distro as the standard OS. Surprisingly, there’s a variant with Windows XP available as an option. I don’t recommend XP though. It’s soooo slow and takes 3x as long as LinPus to load and accomplish stuff like office work.

Review: Deep Blue H1

Grisoft launched a new version of AVG Antivirus Free on April 24, that shipped with several features besides the ones already included in the application

The shiny AVG Free 8.0 is compatible with many Windows flavors, including here Windows 2000, Windows XP/x64 Edition and Windows Vista/x64 Edition. Additionally, the application comes in a large group of languages encompassing English, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Serbian and Spanish. You’ll love the primary functions of the application, as published by Grisoft on the official page of the newly-released program: - Anti-Virus: protection against viruses, worms and trojans - Anti-Spyware: protection against spyware, adware and identity-theft - Anti-Rootkit: protection against hidden threats (rootkits) - Web Shield & LinkScanner: protection against malicious websites With the release of AVG Free 8.0, we are underscoring our belief that all computer users, regardless of their computer usage needs, have the right to a safe and worry-free computing experience,” says Karel Obluk, chief technology officer at AVG Technologies. “However, it is important for users to remember that AVG Free does not protect against the full range of today’s web-borne threats. For complete protection, users should consider AVG’s commercial products, which scan for and block threats before they can infect the computer or disrupt the user experience.” Continue Reading »

I’m the notepad type of guy. My travels take me to places where I like to jot down notes, scribble drawings and generally save my thoughts on paper. The problem is, notepads get ratty quite quickly. So I started taking notes on my Sony Ericsson P1i. But dang, that keyboard takes forever to input data! Then I tried my laptop. But it’s too big and unwieldy. Plus the Compaq dies after 1 hour use (it’s a core2duo at 2Ghz) Continue Reading »
Review: Asus Eee PC- Perfect Scratch Pad

I must admit. Sometimes I’m lured by the Darkside of the Code… you know, where with a handful of bits and bytes, you can circumvent security systems, pull a few remote pranks… and maybe make a buck or two. In other words, blackhat seduces me.

If someone looks into my search history, he’d discover that I’ve been to quite a number of blackhat sites, forums and blogs. Most particularly, at BlackHatWorld. This place satisfies my fix for everything blackhat including search engine gaming, software cracking and social engineering. (Hey, I don’t do bad stuff, I just like to read about them. And get protected in the process). What makes this place special is that it’s got hundreds of members so there’s no way a dominant voice can scam you with tomfoolery. Continue Reading »
Review: BlackHat Forums For The DarkSide Lovers

I just upgraded to the latest but not greatest wordpress 2.5- and now lost image upload functionality. Changing permissions of folders nor tweaking htaccess doesn’t mitigate the problem. I searched the web. Woah. Turns out virtually everyone else suffers the same image upload problem with Wordpress 2.5. Im disappointed that the eager beavers at WP rushed out a buggy program.

There appears to be a minor workaround that restores functionality for some webmasters though:

Wordpress 2.5 Image Failure

A webmaster can never have enough backlinks. The more you have, the higher your placement in search engine results. That translates into increased visitor traffic, eyeballs and off course- sales. So you want links.  Lots of links. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Last year, I stumbled on a thread in Digitalpoint forums where another text link ads advertising system expanded at the rate of a page a day. Called tnx.net,  the system assists site publishers in buying hundreds of unique text links from other websites within a day. The cost rice is amazingly low. Webmasters  may buy one text link to your domain for as low as one point. Tnx.net currently offers 100,000 points for $100. So, a hundred bucks you can get 100,000 inbound links pointing to your website. Whew, where can you get a deal like that? Continue Reading »
Lotsa Lotsa Links Via Tnx.net

I don’t know about you? But to me, trying to write 50-100 pages on one particular subject. Is like.. Yeahhhh… Right!!! I personally have a hard enough time writing a letter to my own Mother. Let alone 50-100 pages on one particular subject.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love my Mom to death. I just can’t figure out why every time we talk on the phone the conversation ends with… “Son, when you get some time… how bout’ writing me a letter”. Now I ‘ll be the first to admit, that when it comes to writing letters I am the worlds worst.

Maybe professional writers have no problem cranking out page after page of quality content to fill their e-books. But, as you can probably already tell, professional writer extraordinaire I am not. Continue Reading »
Dear Mom, Help - I Bought 472 Ebooks And I Can’t Get Up

Do you desire financial freedom? Perhaps, like myself you do not wish to commute, cater to your company schedule and follow orders.

The most direct path to accomplish this major change in your life is to begin working online in the privacy of your home office. I do not have an office, I work out of a small breakfast nook in my little house.

In my pajamas, until noon, when I “feel like working”.

Actually, I love marketing and often spend my entire day in my nook learning, visiting with my peers and friends, having a grand time.

Life is good, life can be great with a strong desire, a moderate amount of persistence and an internet connection. Continue Reading »
