  1. Seems that there's a new browser also known as Flock, a social browser, with quite a number of new features. I have used it to blog on a couple of Open ID enabled blog platforms without a problem. But I am still using Opera, relatively faster.
  2. Netgear and Linksys. Of course the wireless lan standard greatly affects the speed. B and G are common among most routers. N is the new latest and greatest standard. The best so far I have used is a Wireless N router from Linksys of Cisco Systems, very good reception and the ease of use and configuration options are awesome. Cheers.
  3. Wired for casual surfing, and all the wired access for more critical internet connections, such as servers or if you want less interuption during online video streaming. It all depends on whether stability is crucial, or convenience of wireless routing comes first, in for example, your home.
  4. I'm an Opera fan. After having installed all Netscape, the latest IE, Firefox and Safari, I would vote Opera first, and the speed of page loading is incredible. After I have used Opera, I feel Firefox was really slow. I use Firefox as a 'backup' to view some sites that do not display correctly on Opera. Cheers.
  5. Dell would be the bottom of the list in my opinion.
  6. Personally, I find there is'nt a perfect brand, or some brand above the rest. It depends on a couple of factors, such as your budget, portability concerns and also performance, durability and quality. I feel that HP and Apple have done their job well, in covering all these aspects with a range of computers that suit users of all kinds, such as an affordable range to a costly high performance range. Cheers.
  7. No need for that, you can just easily integrate your content as part of the flash animation and background. Also, I discourage that as completely Flash based websites are relatively impractical, and lags most of the time. Not a good choice for sites with heavy content, professional or corporate sites. Its more for design showcase sites. Cheers.
  8. Self made computers are good. Just buy what you need and customize your very own. If not you may want to get Asus or Alienware desktops. These two are generally gaming based PCs, very high performance.
  9. Im using Vista with Kaspersky Internet Security without a problem here, and Kaspersky is so far the best I've tried, after using both Mcafee and Norton. It has a wide database of virus signatures so the software can easily eliminate recognized viruses on your computer, better than Norton or Trend Micro. Cheers.
  10. Nope. I'm currently using Movable Type, a self hosted blog software by Sixapart. Its CGI Based, thus alittle hard to setup, but after so the ease of use is great.
  11. I was with X10 for the past month till now. I had a great time with it for a month or so when it suddenly started suspending me without a reason. They then unsuspended me when I filed a complain, but then I was suspended again an hour later. So here I am at Trap 17. I hope Trap 17 will not disappoint me.
  12. They look very much similar. Camaro's interior is an eyesore though the exterior is stunning. Mustang has looked the same for ages, nothing special about it.

    Paintball

    I have tried it myself. A very nice game but relatively time consuming. The last time I played it was in a castle-like structure, really fun. How about playing it the Counter Strike way? Haha.
  14. This is a common storyline of a game. I have came across many of suc games. But that does'nt mean another if such a game is useles, it just needs something to be improved. For instance, better graphics or better gameplay would be good.
  15. You guys maybe right, but I think they target a different audience of users, not for people who can code like a pro with Dreamweaver and Fireworks, but just something simple, for people to set up a basic site of their own quickly. Just like the Blogger platform, simple and low functionality yet draws so many bloggers that need just a simple blog.

  17. Something short, catchy and easy to pronounce. Maybe within four or five letters or so, after all, if your service is really good, names are'nt important at all.
  18. https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=freedomainsite&e=com http://www.anotherfree.com/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Try these.
  19. Google? I could say they suceeded beacause of the fact that they knew how customers would respond to their sites, and what users wanted. Yahoo did it the conventional way, ads banners, news, movies, music and all that MSN has too. Google could do it differently, and give whole new experience to users, that why its a giant today.
  20. vBulletin is much better, in terms of customization, user management, applications and stability. IPB is steeper to do all that.
  21. Im starting to believe someday Ubuntu Linux may overtake Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh. If this is marketed well, something different like this would have presence as a common operating system.
  22. I shall tell you what to look out for when buying a normal camera, in layman terms, I think that would give you a better understanding of what you need. Firstly, megapixels. Megapixel basically is just how large your image is. The larger, the better, and generally clearer. Size of lens will deterine how far back or how wide your view is, this is usually in mm. Lens brand, such as Carl Zeiss or any respectable brand. Startup speed, you would not want a camera that takes forever to startup and you cant get that perfect scene. That should do to get a simple point and shoot.
  23. I believe what we need is relevant information, and Wikipedia in my opinion is far too inacurate. Knol would be hard to market since Wikipedia has taken over this area for a significant time, though bearing the name 'Google' will make it easier.
