Razer Copperhead |
|
February 26th, 2007 - Here we have the front view and rear view of the RazerCopperhead. The Copperhead is designed to be symmetrical as it can beused as a right-handed mouse or a left-handed mouse. The two mainbuttons are quite large and there''s a semitransparent scroll wheel inbetween the two buttons. We were told that main buttons have been coatedwith non-slip rubber, but the button feels like hard plastic. The mousemeasures in at 5.04 in length and 2.5 in width, so it''s really not abulky mouse...

|
February 26th, 2007 - The last time we took a look at an Alienware laptop it was the Area-51 m5550 15.4-inch laptop. The m5550 is more of a mid-range budget system.

nMedia Wireless RF Keyboard with Trackball Review |
|
February 21st, 2007 - I just built a brand new HTPC last week. I am using the SilverStone LC14MC HTPC case. The case came with a wireless remote, but I still need to have a keyboard and mouse connected when I want to transfer files via USB, or just sit in my bed and surf the web. Now I really don''t want to shell out a lot of money for both a wireless keyboard and mouse especially since I''m not going to be using it either that much. When you go down to you local computer store the only wireless keyboards and mice are the high-end expensive one. Well nMedia has a great solution that solves the keyboard and mouse problem, their wireless RF keyboard with trackball!

In Win F43 PC Case Review |
|
February 19th, 2007 - When I hear F430 I instantly think of one of my favorite exotic cars, the Ferrari F430. So when In Win named a case the F430 you would assume it would take on some of the characteristics of the real F430 and it does. The In Win F430 has an amazing car-like paint job, Ferrari-like stylish features, and even something that makes you feel like you are inside of a real F430!

Proxy Servers Gone Wild |
February 15th, 2007 - Proxy Servers Gone Wild
A few years ago a phenomenon was born which, unbeknownst to even itself, was probably the first MFA Web proxy that would spawn a legion of followers. Great demand, fueled by the most adament of crowds - Myspace addicts - drives the demand for proxies relentlessly.
Armies of proxy servers haven''t been the only result of this demand. Users searching for MySpace unblockers and bypass proxies have spawned an entirely new vocabulary of niche slang. Proxies used to be the domain of hackers and geeks, not thirteen year old valley girls. But, as MySpace has become ridiculously popular so have thirteen year old valley girls trying to message their valley boyfriends on MySpace. And on Bebo. And Facebook. And Friendster. The number of social networking sites, MySpace spinoffs and resource sites has grown immensely.
So everyone is hunting for a MySpace proxy site so they can unblock MySpace, or if they are trying to get on Bebo then a Bebo proxy or what you might call a Bebo unblocker. A Bebo unblocker sort of makes me think of medicine. For unblocking Bebo. Yikes.
So in the wake of this relentless army of thirteen year olds regularly trying to thwart their sysadmins and simply getting blocked from every proxy on the Web we have Webmasters teeming with sites ready to deliver. Except they crash all the time, because proxies are a real pain in the butt to run. And not only are there hordes of kiddies trying to use them, real hackers and warez distributors are constantly hunting for fresh new sites to abuse. Yikes again.
Luckily, even though sites are continually blocked new ones crop up every day, and some Webmasters are trying to create stable proxy networks with many suceeding quite well. Proxy top sites, proxy.org and proxy directories can find you new proxies on a regular basis though.

Web Site Footer Link CTR Tricks |
February 6th, 2007 - The infrequently obtuse and generally unnoticed footer text links we all keep on our sites probably don t garner much attention on the whole, but footer links are still an obligatory part of building nearly any Web site. Some of us have neat little menus with inbound links to direct users around the site. Most of us have several links to sites we own or just enjoy. Some folks take it as far as stuffing fifty links down there.
The point of this post is that most of us aren t exactly raking in the clicks with these footer links. They are often there just for search engine exposure. If we want our footer links to stick out a bit more, why not snag a few extra links where we can?
