Has anyone heard about this? Or heard if anyone is using it? I'm a
little behind (yes, I admit it). Just found out about today (like ten
minutes ago). Watched some of the "about" videos from Google.
Apparently it's be invitation only. Just curious if anyone else had
used it or knows of someone that is...

System Building

2009-08-26T17:35:46Z

Hey all. I'm about to build a new computer, and getting all the parts
from newegg.com. I have a basic understanding on how to build one,
but does anyone know a really good site for instructions/steps? Or
even a blog? What worries me most is finishing, and turning it on only
to have it engulfed in flames :/ .

Anyone know Linux?

2009-08-23T00:30:45Z

Hello, I know my way around windows very well and I wanted to
experiment a little with another operating system. Mac computers are
too expensive just to test out a OS. That was my secound choice.
Linux is next, expecially with the LiveCD's. LiveCD's let you use the
operating system off a disk without downloading anything, but you cant

Firefox VS Internet Explorer??

2009-08-22T20:49:27Z

I know my way very well around both, but I prefer Firefox (I am using
version 3.5 at the moment). I love the depth of customization you can
have with Firefox. I have heard that active X can download malicious
software if used improperly or carelessly, but i never had a problem
with it. Now that I keep thinking about it I have heard that IE is

Goodbye Chrome

I really like Chrome, but I have to say goodbye. I was getting an
error message trying to install the latest version so I uninstalled
it. Now I get an error trying to install. I don't want to, but I
guess I can't use Chrome any more. Anyone have this problem? (The
error message is 0x800405ff)

WTF? My account was locked for "Unusual Activity Detected". I have
no idea why this happened. Anyone else had their account locked?
Does it come back?

Spam from personal email account-- "aebcc.com"

2009-03-26T15:01:54Z

I've got a friend whose email account has started sending spam
messages from aebcc.com. I've received two of them so far. Both
different messages actually.

Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this? I tried a google
search for aebcc.com. It brought back on interesting link for windows
live help-- but there wasn't any help, just people with the same issue

Avoiding Spam Scams and Computer Viruses

2009-02-11T06:39:20Z

Hi Folks

As a general rule of thumb, beware of any offer that sounds
too good to be true. This applies to products being offered
on the Internet and especially to any unsolicited offer or
spam you receive in your email. Many of these are scams.

Buying ink vs. a new printer

2009-02-06T16:13:44Z

As I stood in Staples with $62 worth of ink for my Epson printer, I
thought to myself, "I wonder how much a new printer would cost?" I
meandered over to the new printer aisle and discovered that a new
printer with more features and ink would cost $100. So I bought it.
How many of you do the same thing?

Ad-ware/ Lvavsoft

2009-02-02T18:33:18Z

Dear members
I wonder if someone could help me.
A week or so ago I opened the icon for Lavasoft/AdWare.
Now I can not get rid of a notice (As soon) as I turn the computer on.
I tried everything to get that notice to disappear but it will not.
Since I have this problem, my computer takes about 10mins to turn on.
