I’m pretty excited about Windows 8, Microsoft’s next operating system. That does not mean that I’m perfectly happy with Windows 7, the company’s current operating system. Windows 7 is a great operating system that could be as successful as Windows XP, if it had the same amount of time at hand and a successor that [...]
Samsung ML-1865W Laser Printer Review
Have you ever wanted a laser printer at home, or even a wireless laser printer, but not had the money to be able to afford one? Well things have changed radically in recent years. When I bought my first last printer in 2003 it cost me £400 (around $550) for a basic colour model. It [...]
How To Change The WordPress Admin Interface Fonts
With the release of WordPress 3.2 came a redesign of the admin interface, and with that a gruesome new font, line heights and margins. The new design looked that terrible that I – for the first time ever – switched from the plain HTML editor to the visual editor. The visual editor uses an eye [...]
Google+ Photo Zoom Extension For Chrome
I’m slowly getting the hang out of Google+. The coolest feature by far in my humble opinion is circles to group users and get filtered news streams. One thing that I think is missing are update notifications for your circles. As it stands now, you need to click on each circle stream to see if [...]
WordPress 3.2 Released, Design Refresh
Two WordPress releases in short time, that puts some pressure on system administrators and website owners. That is, if you update your blogs as soon as the updates come out, and not weeks afterwards.

Such programs allow you to make flowcharts that send you from one thought to the next in an effort to sort out exactly what meaning you are attempting to convey. Most such programs charge users a [...]
CloseTheDoor, Identify Local TCP, UDP Listening Ports
One of the things that I to regularly on all of my computer systems is to check each system’s open TCP and UDP ports. It is a security precaution to make sure that only needed ports are listening, and that all other ports are closed to reduce the chance of a successful attack. I have [...]
Samsung RF711 Gaming Laptop Review
You might remember last month I reviewed the very sexy little Samsung Series 9 Ultraportable, their “Macbook Air killer” and absolutely loved it. The latest box to arrive at my door from the company contained something very far removed from the Series 9. This time they’d sent their top of the line RF711 gaming laptop. [...]
Toolbar Cleaner, Remove Unwanted Toolbars From Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer
Many toolbars are not installed in only one browser, but in multiple web browsers. That’s not a problem if you have only one browser installed, but if you have them all like I do, you might end up with the same toolbar installed under multiple browsers. That’s cool if you want to use the toolbar, [...]
