Sleeping with the Enemy causes Yahoo to Loose their Minds
Hey are not Google and Yahoo competitors? With Microsoft out and Google in I am simply amazed by the business decisions being made at Yahoo. One thing for sure is that it will be fun to watch how this all plays out. I get the feeling Yahoo is a sinking ship and they are desperate to stay above water.
The Truth About ATT DSL
I have to freely admit that in general, I am a fan of AT&T. I know, that just breaks Todd's heart, but we have AT&T here for our local phone service, our wireless service, and our broadband service. We don't have any choices, really, so this is what we deal with, and in general, I am happy with the way
Moving your Thunderbird mail to a new computer? Here’s help!
As I noted in another post earlier today, I got a new computer. This meant that three years of Thunderbird mail that I'd decided not to delete needed to move over to the new laptop from the old laptop. If you're using Outlook, you can just backup everything to a PST file and place it on the new machine. Unfortunately,

It’s Good Work, If You Get to Telecommute…
Dice.com asked the simple question: Would you take a pay cut if you could telecommute? While only 7% already do that, 37% would indeed take a pay cut to stay at home or work from a remote office. 36% said "Nope" and 19% just need work. I think about what I do at home and what I do at a
Would you fly in a plane with a “kill switch”
Wired reports that the Pentagon is asking for submissions on a "non-lethal" method to stop a plane on the ground or divert it from a particular location. This does not sound like a good idea to me. The one constant and predictable thing with any tachnology is that it will break. Having an extra piece of technology on a plane
DYMO LabelWriter TwinTurbo Review
In 2007 I purchased my first DYMO product, it was the LabelWriter 400 Turbo. Since that date it has been a permanent fixture on my printing table used for printing labels of all sizes.
The iPhone 2.0 Deal Killer
Well like everyone else I wanted to see what Steve Jobs had to say about the new iPhone. Like everyone else I am pretty excited to see them bring 3G to the phone. What I am not excited about is the AT&T exclusive.
