Get Your Cables In Order With CableOrganizer
Out of the blue, I just received 2 ReviewMe sponsored review requests that I accepted. The first one is from cableorganizer.com who sell a wide range of label printers and automatic labelers which can help prevent wires from becoming entangled and generally mixed up.
How To Get The Best Mobile Phone Deal
A common mistake that most people do when they buy a new phone or mobile contract is forget to shop around to find the best deal. Most people just sign up for whatever deal their current provider offers.
This is a big mistkae as a bit of research can save you a lot of [...]
Google Finally Catches Up With John Chow Linkback Promotion
Well, it looks like John Chow has added Google to the list of companies he’s pushed too far with his experiments. John was running a linkback promotion where in return for sites linking to his site and including the anchor text ‘Make Money Online’ he would link to those sites. In total about [...]
Friday Fun: What Happens When You’ve Got Far Too Much Time On Your Hands
Here are some videos of some people who have developed totally useless talents in their idle time.
I have no idea how much time these guys must have spent in video arcades perfecting their ’skillz’. I bet the basketball dude is probably going to have arthritis in his shoulders in a few years, just like [...]
Friday Fun: MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Refuses To Read Paris Hilton Story
I wanted to post this video a few days ago but I couldn’t find an embeddable link. It’s been bugging me this week constantly hearing about Paris Hilton (and the iPhone), and it was great to see Mika Brzezinski refuse to open the news bulletin with Paris Hilton.
I know absolutely nothing about Mika, but [...]
Defensio Anti-Spam Plugin – Anyone On The Beta?
Defensio is a new anti-spam plugin for WordPress that claims to be better than Akismet, which is the most commonly used anti-spam WordPress plugin. Given that I’m not a big fan of Akismet this doesn’t mean a lot to me, but I was wondering if anyone is part of the Defensio beta trial and [...]
Will You Buy An iPhone Survey
I’ve deliberately not written about the iPhone over the last couple of days as I don’t think the amount of hype is justified. However, I am going to post the results of a iPhone survey that Read/WriteWeb have been running.
Out of 845 readers who were asked whether or not they were going to [...]
RIAA Harasses 10 Year Old Girl
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a good story about the Recording Industry Ass. Of America (RIAA). If ever there was a body in need of a public makeover, it’s the RIAA.
The latest story shows just how far the RIAA is prepared to go to convict individuals. In a case against Tanya Anderson, [...]
Get Vista For Free – Vista Transformation Pack 7
I had to setup XP on a laptop for a friend at the weekend, and I was shocked to see how complete my conversion to Vista has been. I found it really hard to use XP, and it just seemed to clunky and boring.
If you haven’t upgraded to Vista yet, or you can’t justify [...]
Happy 25th Birthday This Week For High Definition TV
TechDigest have picked up that European High Definition TV celebrates its birthday this week. 25 years ago the first HDTV demonstrations were given to the European Broadcasting Union in Killarney, Ireland.
Games Domain To Launch Service That Will Download Games In Minutes
I spotted a story in the Financial Times yesterday, that said that Game Group who are the largest independent video games retailer in the UK, was going to announce a partnership with Games Domain International that will reduce the time taken to download games from several hours to minutes.
Women Bloggers Doing It For Themselves
Nothing really caught my eye in my feedreader that I wanted to, or had the energy to blog about so I decided to check out some of my readers’ sites. Angie’s been fairly active recently so I decided to check out her site first.
One post that Angie wrote that caught my eye [...]
More Adsense Customisation Options
The team at Google Adsense have been busy of late. Two months ago they updated the overall look and feel of Adsense units to make them look a lot fresher.
Now, they’ve just added some more Adsense customisation options, and publishers can now decide whether to have square, slightly rounded or very rounded corners.
Young Brits Would Rather Give Up Sex Than Their Mobile Phones
British people are known for being a bit weird, which is proven by a recent survey by Carphone Warehouse. In the survey, most respondents aged between 16 and 24 would rater give up alcohol, chocolate, sex, tea or coffer than live without their mobile phone for a month.
Backlash Against Large Sites Using NoFollow Begining?
Even though it’s rare that I add new plugins these days, I still subscribe to the feed from WordPress Plugins DB. One plugin caught my eye yesterday, which appears to have been designed to counter big sites like Wikipedia not giving link love.
The WordPress Blog SEO plugin automatically adds the ‘nofollow’ tag to [...]
Google Reader Outage – Did Your Traffic Fall Yesterday?
Google Reader suffered a major outage yesterday and many feeds weren’t updated. Luckily Downloadsquad made it through otherwise I wouldn’t have realised, although I did think something strange was going on as I cleared all my feeds out in a record 15 minutes.
It’ll be interesting to hear if your traffic was down on Monday, [...]
