PC World have denied repairs on a lapop due to the fact that an alternate OS was installed, even though the problem is obviously a hardware failure.Oops, I just bought a laptop from PC World ... thank god I installed Linux using Wubi.

Vista SUX!!!!!

2007-09-02T23:36:00.000+01:00

Windows Vista sucks. Let's face it. Here's why:The requirements are too high. 20GB Disk Space - and that's the minimum reccomendation!It replaces halfway good features with crappy ones - including randomly locking up.It's not 1337It messes up Firefox's default themeFlip 3D is crapBeryl on Linux is better than AeroBuy a Mac or Get Linux.

The Safety of Wireless Internet

2007-08-13T20:55:00.000+01:00

Is Wifi Safe?The answer to this question is probably "Yes.". Here's why: The amout of radiation emitted by a standard 802.11g router is actually pretty low.It's only proven to be even slightly dangerous if you are within 30cm of the wifi device.What you should probably be worrying about, though, is Mobile/Cell Phones.There's a lot of radiation emitted by those.

Sites that make you go AGH MY EYES!!!

2007-06-12T13:13:00.000+01:00

Ever heard of "MatMice"? It's a site that provides web pages to children. However, most of the sites hosted there (if you can call having 1 page hosting) will make you SCREAM. You probably know what I mean.Please note that I have nothing against the kids who make these pages, but they really need to learn what people will like and what is just TOO much!Anyway, here are the sites that are so bad

Thinking of getting Linux? Here are some distributions that I recommend:Ubuntu: A nice, easy to set up distribution of Linux. I personally use this distro.SimplyMEPIS: Based on Ubuntu but even simplerDamn Small: As the name suggests, this is a small 50MB distro.Kubuntu / Xubuntu / Fluxbuntu: Versions of Ubuntu that use KDE, Xfce and Fluxbox instead of the Ubuntu GNOME.

Ubuntu: Linux for human beings

2007-05-22T10:57:00.000+01:00

You've probably heard of Linux. If you haven't, click here.Originally, Linux was very complex and you had to be an expert to install and use it. But now, there are many Linux distributions that are user-friendly, easy to install and use and don't require too much computer knowledge. One of those distributions is called Ubuntu, and its slogan is "Linux for Human Beings".You just download an ISO

2007-05-03T16:20:00.000+01:00

If you're like me and you're wondering what all the fuss about Vista is about, then why not borrow someone's Vista disk (or visit thepiratebay.org) and install Vista on a virtual machine?Scratch that, you'd have to have 4GB of RAM or something.

What if there's a really good game or app that you've heard about, but don't want to download it because it might come with malware?What you need is a virtual machine.A virtual machine allows you to run a separate OS inside your main OS.There are two main (free) virtual machine apps:VMware PlayerMicrosoft Virtual PCI recommend Virtual PC

Leaving firefox ... sort of

2007-04-09T14:37:00.000+01:00

I've been a very loyal supporter of the Firefox web browser in the past, but now...I've tried the K-Meleon browser and I've decided to switch. However, I'm not completely leaving firefox. K-Meleon is based on firefox. It's basically an inproved version of Firefox.Still, if you haven't tried an alternate browser, remember: you do have a choice.

Firefox didn't block that site

2007-03-28T22:32:00.000+01:00

"I've had to uninstall firefox. It just wouldn't let me view these pages..."This kind of thing REALLY annoys me. People try and view IE-only Web pages in Firefox and get some kind of error. They then think that it was Firefox that blocked the page and complain about pages being blocked by firefox.Firefox does not block pages!

Have you heard of a free tool called SiteAdvisor? It has a database of sites and if they are safe or not. A site that is fine is green, a site that is not OK has a red rating, a site that is in the middle is yellow and an unchecked site is grey. It's free, but you can buy SiteAdvisor Plus which adds more protection.SiteAdvisor WebsitePlease note: SiteAdvisor is currently available for Internet
