  • Hun, What was I watching?

    Couple of nights ago, I was laying in bed watching TV. Commercials interrupted my program. They were going on and on and on. Eventually I realized that they have been on for so long that I could not remember what I was watching! Are commercials’ time frames really supposed to be longer than a person…

  • On hold with Microsoft.

    I had to make couple of phone calls to Microsoft today. What I liked was that their phone system has become more automated since the last time I had to call them. I do not have to wait for someone from their reps to answer my call. At the end though, because their voice recognition…

  • Harry Potter – and the cool flame looking goblet!!!

    Last Wednesday, the 22th of November, Amanda and I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The movie was good in my opinion. Both Amanda and I really enjoyed it. There were good effects and animations. You know all the usual things they had before, just better quality, but such is the…

  • Your Internet for ransom.

    OK, so we thought that the government was taking our rights away, but how about your Internet Service Provider (ISP). For those of you who do not know what an ISP is, it is your gateway to the wild. It is Verizon DSL, Comcast, Adelphia, AOL, NetZero, and so on. They are the companies which…

  • Google Web Accelerator … NOT

    I am sure most of you have already heard of Google’s Web Accelerator (GWA). If you have not, GWA is one of Google’s creations bordering on being a spawn, depending on how you feel about having your Internet controlled! If you do not care, than you will like this little application, but if you like…

  • Oppsss… Linksys RTP300 VoIP router.

    I just found a bug in the login script of the RTP300 Linksys VoIP router. The firmware is 1.00.55 version. This was just by accident. My password contains letters and numbers. I was typing too fast and at the end of my password I typed the wrong number. By the time my actions clicked in…

  • Sorry, but people are not dumb.

    Are advertisers really that comfortable with us or do they think we are just that much of a flock of sheep, so they do not have to try hard anymore? Seriously, do we the people, not look for quality anymore? Do not we want good presentation to assure us?

  • It is snowing.

    Snow, snow, let it snow It is snowing once again. They are falling we are freezing, Snow is here once again.

  • Please tell me how did you calculate this?

    I do not know about the rest of the state, but here in Chicago, AOL has a TV commercial about ad-aware and spy-ware. In that commercial an AOL representative makes a statement that spy-ware and all the other junk can "slow down your computer UPTO 500%". Now, I do not know in what world AOL…

  • Flock – I don’t think so!

    I just tried the new Flock browser. Other than some improvements, some cosmetic changes and some extra features it is just FireFox. The extra features the Flock browser has can be easily achieved through extensions for FireFox. If no one decides to write the extensions for it, I am pretty sure that after Flock’s debut…
