5GHz 802.11n - Has Wifi Finally Come Of Age?
I’m in the middle of a house move that is taking forever to finalise. At the new pad I was intending to install network cabling and ethernet ports in each room, as in the past I’ve found that WiFi connections just aren’t good enough to stream HD video.
However, I’ve been reading up on new [...]
My Next Phone Upgrade: Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
I have a limited company that I put my blog expenses through to reduce my tax bill. I haven’t put my phone into the company name, because T-mobile wanted to put me on a new 12 month contract if I did so, which would have meant I wouldn’t be able to upgrade my current [...]

Windows Vista Media Center is a very good media center, and best of all it’s free. One nice feature within Windows Vista MCE is the media-only mode which gets rid of the windows minimise/close buttons in the top right so that your full screen is dedicated to your media.
Unfortunately there isn’t an option within [...]
Max Web Design Blog
I’ve just received my first sponsored review request via ReviewMe to write a post about a fellow blog. To be honest I found it quite hard to start the review as it’s rare that a first visit to a blog is to its homepage. Normally, the first visit is via a link direct [...]

I’ve been beating myself up a bit this week as I thought I’d wasted my money on a Auzentech Prelude 7.1 videocard in my new media center PC, as it wouldn’t help me play the new HD audio formats like Doly TrueHD and DTS HD, that offer superior sound quality over older Dolby formats.
However, after [...]
Does Spam Still Bother You?
I receive a ridiculous amount of spam email because I own a few domains and all email comes into one box. OIonly realised today just how much I receive when a colleague who was looking over my shoulder saw that I had 7,225 spam emails in my inbox. When I explained to him that this [...]

I got an email this morning from my Forbes account manager saying that paying test banners are due to start on April 15th.
I’m quite excited about the potential of the Forbes network, as if the $10-20 Gross CPMs do materialise, then it will nearly double this site’s overall earnings:
Windows 7 News Relaunched!!
Just over a year ago I purchased windows7news.com. My long-term plan was to start working on the site now in advance of the expected launch of Windows 7 in 2010, so that by then I would have cornered the market…
Well, it didn’t work out that way I didn’t have the time to put my [...]
Building A Media Center PC
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post and I haven’t even had the time to keep up with my feeds. I did however find the time over the weekend to build a new Media Center PC. I managed to put the itself PC together fairly quickly, without too many cuts on [...]

I started the free Connected Internet Directory on a whim about 12 months ago to try and generate more reciprocal links, although I stopped selling links and requiring reciprocal links once Google got mean a few months ago.
Changing these requirements seems to have paid off as last week, the 2,000 link was added to the [...]
