Finding useful webhosting information is next to impossible. Most of the big, brand-name webhost companies out there offer very sizable pay to affiliates who refer people to their service. That means that almost every single comment on the entire Internet about which web hosting services are good and which web hosts are bad is tainted [...]

When Google released its Google Chrome web browser, it included a private browsing mode called Incognito Mode. When Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8 it included a Privacy mode.

Just days after I went through the trouble of pointing everyone to d8search as a way to get improved date searching out of Google search results, Google updated the features they offer in their own native search.

A writer rants after finding that Microsoft’s lame attempt at developing a web browser has mangled his site, AGAIN!
I was way, way, behind the curve on the whole social media thing. As my favorite movie FBI agent says, “This is for little rubber people who don’t shave yet.” (Name the movie, and no, you don’t get to phone a friend.) But, whether I am right or wrong is irrelevant as my clients and [...]
