Whether you're buying a pre-built computer or you're building your own computer you will undoubtedly need to choose what CPU you want. Not only will you have to choose a CPU but often your choice of CPU will dictate everything about your computer purchase. When you choose your CPU you will be determining the requirements, capabilities and the price that your computer will cost. No other single

Priceline.com is yet another online source for automotive tidbits and as a part of Earth Day which happens this April 22nd, the group has already done a survey. This new study has focused more on consumers of rental car companies and what they have been aiming to find out is what kind of vehicles do these consumers really want to see as part of rental fleets.After the survey was done and all the

When it is time to shop for a new car there are many things to take into consideration. One of the biggest decisions is whether you should choose car leasing or car buying. There are many fundamental differences between the two.To help make your decision easier the following is a list of those differences:- At the end of the car loan term you will own a car if you opted to buy. At the end of the

Basically a digital camera is a deice use to capture pictures without the use of films. Unlike the conventional camera, the digital camera does not rely on mechanical and chemical processes. It has a built in computer and records the images it captures in an electronic form.

Earlier, The Truth About Cars (TTAC) conducted a survey having its faithful and candid readers as respondents. The survey is all about tracking the Ten Worst Automobile Today (TWAT) from all the vehicles available in the United States within this year. The polls and tallying are closed. Further, the winners are yet to be unraveled. The winners of the 2006 TTAC Ten Worst Automobile Today awards

So where did all these blogs come from? How did they get from an underground geek toy to a mainstream tool that has revolutionized politics, journalism, marketing and the media?I always find that when I learn about a new technology or way of doing something online, the geeks have already been there (and I say the word ‘geek’ with complete affection – I’m one too!).

Andrew BowenIt has become increasingly difficult to get young driver car insurance in the UK. The reason behind this is because the statistics for young drivers having a car accident are not very good. By definition, young drivers have very little experience of driving and thus have a greater chance of having a bump in their vehicle. Car insurance companies are obviously in business to make money

Hello everyone. Sorry for not posting for a few days. Unfortunately my computer at home isn't working. I suspect that it's the power supply at the back and that it might need to be changed. A person's going to come and look at it today in about an hour. Should be up and running by tomorrow or day after. The worst part is that I'm on after-exam holidays and that I'm really bored without my

Iomega recently launched a USB powered external 40GB hard drive which apparently weighs only 99gms. This little piece of information got me thinking. External hard drives in various sizes and capacities have been around for quite a while now. Though normal computer users like me find little use for them, I'm sure that there are people to whom these hard drives are indispensible. But for

First Google gave us the world's best Internet search engine. Now it's given us the world's best e-mail, blogging tool and desktop search. So what else can it give us? Maybe a Web browser and then maybe even an OS. There have been rumours about both for a while. But here's the first one that I know of that gives us a vision of what Google OS might be like.

Yes, The Da Vinci Code is old news, but I've only recently been able to get at it, thanks to you-know-what. The book is undoubtedly a very good book and has quickly become one of my favourites. The plot and storyline is wonderful and a lot has already been said about them. But what impresses me as much, if not more than the plot, is the sheer amount factual information Dan Brown presents in the

It's been 24 hours since Status Quo went online. I've made a few tweaks to the template and I've been added to the Blogs for Firefox Blogroll on the left. I've also claimed ownership of the blog over at Blogshares. Here is the link to the Status Quo page. You might add it to bookmarks if you're interested.

American Express, or AMEX, is one of the most recognizable names in the financial world. What many customers who have MasterCard or Visa credit cards in their wallet are interested in, is what is the difference between these two companies and American Express. Well the difference is quite simple.MasterCard and Visa are both simply payment methods. They allow locations to accept payment using

I am sorry to say this, but it is the unfortunate truth. When I started in September I grossly underestimated the time I would need to put into actually writing the blog, especially searching for news worth reporting. But as my national exams draw nearer, my time decreases. Which means that as of now this blog is officially suspended.However it will be relaunched in a new avatar on April Fool's

At last we come to the final part of the Blogosphere Journeys. I know it's been a terribly short one, but I do hope that you enjoyed it. Here are the last three blogs, the first three that I actually liked. First of is Panthere's Panthere Noir. This is mostly a tech news blog, somewhat similar to my own. But it apparently has a very wide following. The last time I checked, this blog had

Hello and welcome to the second leg of my journeys. Once again here are two more blogs. These are blogs that I found on my wanderings on the net and that I decided to bookmark. The first blog on today's list is Eric "Cracell" Cranston's blog, called "The Knight in Rusting Armor". This is mostly a personal blog, but it is pretty interesting. However posting is very erratic. Cracell, by the way,

Before I continue with part two of The Blogosphere Journeys, there's some important news. Firefox 10 is due for release on November 9. So mark your calendar for November 9 people and please make sure that you at least try to download it. (Due to the number of people trying to get it at the same you may not be able to actually get it, but do try) The second bit of news is that Spread FIrefox has

This is the first of a number of posts that will be devoted to "reviewing" a few blogs that I have found and that I like. This first part will be featuring three blogs. The special thing about them is that they are all new blogs. Before I start let me say that two of these blogs were actually inspired by my blog. They make me fell that this blog is actually worth the effort (besides personal

I've finally got some time to play around with the Internet and the blog. First off, the Internet. I've found this great Zip program called ALZip 5.5 thanks once again to Techtree. Normally I found Windows XP's default zipping tool good enough for the little use that I put it to. But it can get really irritating at times, since it apparently lacks the functionality to extract just one or two

Quite a few interesting things have been happening lately. Firstly Google Desktop Search beta has been launched. Here's a ZDNet review. It seems pretty interesting, especially if you happen to have a lot of stuff on your hard-disk. It's quite widespread, functionality-wise. But ir could do with support for more non=Micrsoft products. Especially Mozilla Firefox. But it's a start and hopefully,

Well, it happened something like this. Yesterday and the day before I sat down at my computer to write up a blog entry, and lo and behold, I simply couldn't write. No matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn't figure out what to put up. The cause of this was most probably that I hadn't founf anything interesting to talk about.

Yes that's right. The 1980's Superman, Christopher Reeves died of heart failure at the age of 52. I wouldn't be too interested except for the fact that he was one of the biggest supporters of stem-cell research and I think that stem cell research is a good thing too. But hopefully in a few months one of stem cell research's bigest supporters will hopefully be lost, or more correctly will have

Yes folks, I am alive and so is this blog. First my apologies for being off for so long. But my modem wasn't working right and so I had to wait to get it fixed. But it is fixed and so I'm back and I'll try to stick to my original intentions of posting as regularly as possible. Now some news. First some more Microsoft news.

I found this little piece of news. Basically it says that Microsoft is going to start charging for its service which allows its MSN and Hotmail users to download their e-mails off the servers to Outlook Express and Microsoft Outlook.

Well, enough of my blog. Now a little bit of me. My profle on the right says all that I have to say about myself. I've had my computer for about 3 years now. It's an old Pentium 3 550Mhz with just 128 MB of RAM. I've got an Epson Printer and a Sony CD-RW drive. My software isn't much to brag about, but I like it.
