AVG and Avira: Free Antivirus for Windows 7

My computer is bloated. It’s got- oh about 1Terabyte of data on it. That’s about 1000 Gigabytes of hardcore stuff. With a mess like that, I rely on the search function of vista to look for files. No longer do I use the folders menu or the programs menu on Start. No siree…. That would take forever! Using the Search Funtion gets me what I want… FAST.

Now, there’s a new version. WS4.0. Like the existing iteration, WS4 lets you perform an rapid  search of your computer. WS4 helps you find and preview docs, mail data, music files, digicam images, and other items on the computer. I tested it- and it’s really really fast. Continue Reading »
Review: Windows Search 4.0

Commercial software can be too hefty these days. If each byte were a gram- then most software sitting on my desk would have crashed to the ground- and right into the lower floors. Too much bloat I think. All those features crammed in that don’t just make sense. That’s why I love open source. They’re created in boutique fashion and optimized by thousands of charitable eyes all over the web. They don’t have the goal to make money; all they want is a good job.

And Money Manager Ex is  supreme in the realm of open source financial management.

Review: MoneyManger Does It Better

(sponsored review) 

You would not wear dirty underwear, so don’t wear dirty bras. Bras need to be rotated on a daily basis. If you overwear a bra, it loses it’s form and structure quickly. This can lead to back problems, breast tenderness, and more. The rule of thumb is to buy at least three bras at a time. You need to buy the same three exact everyday bras: one to wash, one to rest, and one to wear.

1. Wash- You should always follow the directions on the tags. The manufacturers know their bras. Some bras are more delicate than others. Some bras melt. If the tags are not present, wash the bras carefully by hand. Use a gentle soap or a mild detergent. Drip dry the bras or dry them on a flat surface away from the sunlight. Face it ladies, some of us still want the convenience of the washing maching. The washing machine takes away from the life of the bra quickly. If you must, wash the bras on a delicate cycle in cold water. Separate the colors. Fasten all the hooks in the back or front of the bra and place the bra in a lingerie bag before you place the items in the wash. Do not place in the dryer! Again, this will take away from the life of the bra. If you must, keep the bras in the lingerie bag and tumble dry at the lowest setting possible. Continue Reading »
   Wash, Rest, and Wear- Guide to Extending the Life of Your Bra!

That’s what my wife told me.

“You wear a Prada bag, but your shirt screams 80s and your jeans look like they went through a grinder. If you weren’t my husband I’d dump you”

Sigh.

So I began scouring for advice on the web. “Metrosexual tips” she hinted to me as a starting search point in google.

I found a lot and discovered this wasn’t gonna be an easy task. For starters, I didn’t want to look err… queer… or badass. I just wanted to be me.

So wifey directed my browser to some site called Emoda (this isn’t some paid review, k?) where fancy threads were sold, opinions were rife and fashion faux pas were placed out in the daylight.

Instantly I was hooked. Man… not only did Rock and Republic jeans go for less than what Nordstrom charges me, I came across lotsa cool articles that ensure I won’t look like metrosexual road kill.

I’m still browsing the site right now and enjoying every minute of fashion nirvana!

Can there be a knock off vendor with honor? Hmm… that sounds like an oxymoron.

But truly there is!

My fashionista sister recently stumbled across a site selling imitations of brands without passing them off as originals like 1000s of miscreants out there.

Visit Highreplica. Right on the frontpage, they tell you that their stuff is all imitation. That doesn’t bother me though. Their prices are superb and my sister received an LV that looked just like the real deal she got at the LV store. Down to the date codes!

Now, no one can tell you’re carrying a -ahem – fake.

I just returned from Australia four hours ago. The place was memorable! Superb beaches, azure skies, delicious women, and Zunic!

Err… what??

My aussie mates took me to a wellness place that offered a system of fat burning. The chided me how lousy my gut looked. It dangled over my $800 Hermes belt like sad blubber. But no sweat they said. For $100, I can burn off an inch with Zunic.

What the hell. With 12 hours before my return flight to CA, why not? And if it works, the $100 wouldn’t have been wasted on a large Dominos pizza that would have swollen my gut further.

The sexy therapist looked like she’s been Zunicing all her life. Not an inch of fat on her body. If I looked 1/10th as good as her, my social life would be glowing better than the dull candle stick it is right now.

So I fell asleep while she got me through the paces.

And I woke up. Man, my gut was red and sore– but… wow! I really did lose a big chunk. Proof? I had to tighten my belt a notch.

Looks like Im definitely coming back for this. Both for the Zunic and the therapist!

I just came across GlobalWholesaling and couldn’t believe my eyes. LV goes for $200. Prada for $80. Could these be original??

Smelling a fish behind the too-good-to-be-true offers, I fired up Google before swiping the Visa.

Whew. Saved by the big G. Turns out this site is owned by one guy who runs a network selling knockoff products straight out of China (hmmm.. these bags might explode or expel noxious fumes).

If GlobalWholesaling wants to sell, let it advertise with a conscience. Let the buyers know they are obtaining replicas. The business then generates trust even though its products aren’t particularly laudable.

Fancy attracting the eye of that lass across the room? Then dab some of this magic potion on your neck and magic explodes! She’ll swoon and ask you out!

… or so the ad claims.

Androtics Direct manufactures some interesting vials of pheromone cologne that allegedly stimulates attraction between the genders. It works by acting on the VNO organ in the nose, a remnant of our apish past.

So does it work? Continue Reading »

Definitely worth a go-see!

Women are suckers to curiosity. Show them something unusual, and they’ll flock around you until the novelty wears off… or you find something else to tantalize them with.

Back in the good ole days, I used to open conversations with gorgeous women by carrying around a dusty, dark book on magic.

Or I’d glance at their palm and say, “I got an intuition about you.”

Or I’d drop some hints that their handwriting reveals something shocking about their personality. It always gets them. The delightful dames end up spending hours with me and stealing my phone number.

Honestly.

Times changed. Girls still love magic and mystery, but they positively drool over technology. It’s the new prop!

Flash your snazzy Home Theatre Watch and they’ll beg to lean over you and enjoy an intimate movie off your manly wrists. Just remember to slip an arm around their shoulder.

Or you can offer to detect some mysterious pheromones in their alluring breath with the Top Secret BAC Analyzer. I promise you: fastest way to get women pursing their pretty lips in your direction. Willingly.

Then after that, offer a little game of truth n tell and verify their sordid stories with the Portable Lie Detector Test. You’ll tickle them pink all over. Women, after all, love a good gossip and some verbal sparring.

Remember though: gadgetry is a tool to open. Once you’ve got their doors wide open, launch a bit of active listening and emotional tickling to keep it that way.

Here’s a beauty that’s crept into the arms of many a beautiful lass- yesterday, I saw at least 17 women toting this… errr… tote. And my sister bubbles about seeing it draped on the arms of Silverstone, Jolie and Jessica Alba. Sigh. Do women always have to copy celebrities? Where’s the uniqueness in imitation?

Aanyway, admire all that gold-work and luxurious nylon! Whatever it costs, I’m definitely not going to show this to my wifey or she’ll strangle me till I get her one.

Prada, whatever designers you have in your payroll- double their salary!

Sometimes staying till 3am working at my internet empires knocks my libido hard. My girlfriend chastised me: “Marcus, you get turned on by your keyboard, not by the Twins! Let’s talk about this.”

Before it escalated to a full blown relationship disaster, I tried Irwin Naturals Steel Libido on the reco of a friend.

Man. On the first night I used it, our household looked like a quadruple X love den.

I mucho recommend this!

Pros
The Versace bottle is something you’d show off!

Cons

The hefty smell can drive away the sensitive. How hefty? It will bowl you over even in a smokey bar. That’s how heavy Versace’s punch goes.

Full Review

Versace Dreamer boasts a very strong, intense scent that is appropriate for daytime wear. The scent and quality are good, but not the best.

While strong, the scent quickly fades within the hour- you’ll have to spray yourself over and over throughout the day. That isn’t cool for such an expensive bottle.

My darling cousin presided over the 2007 Fashionista Network, LA Chapter (FNLA) Bags Awards last week. Local community papers wrote it up as ‘a posh affair of decadence’ held at the swanky MoonDragon Club.

At $100 a ticket, I can imagine how much richer the organization is right now. FYI, the FNLA commands 2500 fashion conscious members. So at $100 x 2500, the treasury just witnessed an income of $250,000. Enough to buy out the entire Sak’s inventory for the day!
