Supposedly they came uout and denied the bidding war and will not be “selling out” to corporate overlords. Arrington said Google, Microsoft, and two media companies may [...]

There is really no way I can pretend that I wouldn’t rather see Microsoft running the world than Google, but hey, let’s get some search engine competition going on here regardless. Google is eating webmasters alive with their demands lately because their algorithm is easy to manipulate. So…I’m sure you have heard that Microsoft has [...]

Photographs have been time stamped for ages, but now they can be stamped with the exact location in the world where they were taken? Interesting concept. Stephen Shankland, at CNET wrote an article about it today which I found pretty interesting because I had not yet heard of this technology. Apparently it is being called [...]

LMAO @ this stupid ass system. Unfreakingbelievable at how arcane that system is. The Ranking itself is almost completely worthless now. You get linked by PR7-8 pages and your post is only ranked a PR2? They don’t even recognize 1/10 of the backlinks to your site when you look at the backlinks. Does Google use [...]

I’ve never had a situation before where I had to figure out how to delete a “Can’t delete file”. Well…I downloaded a file the other day from Limewire (not porn) and I could not delete the file. I typically right-click and virus scan the file before I open it after I download it, but when [...]
