Virtual Clone Drive on Windows 7

January 25, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

Virtual Clone Drive is a utility for mounting ISOs on Windows. It eliminates the need to burn an ISO to CD or DVD to install it. Version 5.4.1.1 is the latest stable version. But this version is very unstable on Windows 7. It does not open the ISO at all, and I have read reports of computers [...]

AT&T dropping unlimited data and messaging to $30

January 23, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/22/atandt-dropping-unlimited-data-and-messaging-to-30/ I am shocked that they are dropping a price! It’s a start. I hope they try to be even more competive. Their plans are the worst of the bunch. They know they can get away with it though because they usually have the coolest phones.

Is the wireless on your laptop too slow?

January 22, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

I have always thought that the wireless on my Dell was slower than it should be, but I never took the time to figure out why. I figured it was my router which has issues anyway and disconnects me a couple of times a day (it is on it’s way out the door!). Today I’ve [...]

Everyone knows these days that Facebook is a huge social networking site. At first, it can be overwhelming and a bit hard to figure out, but once you get used to it, you realize that it is a lot more interactive than Myspace. At least I think so. It’s easier to keep up with what [...]

My initial thought was “what the??…. do they have an alert system with a flashing read light on it that tells them every time a blogger posts a [...]

Dvd intros and menu’s

January 14, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

A major pet peeve of mine. Most days I would love to find the people that create children’s movies, lock them in a room and torture them by forcing them to watch endless previews and navigate dvd menus while blindfolded. We have a Kid-mobile (aka mini-van) with 2 DVD players. This is awesome for entertaining [...]

January 13, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

I used to be a Vonage customer. I LOVED Vonage. The only reason that I left is because my home alarm system was not working right with Vonage at all. Any time I would use my keychain remote to set “Away” it would trigger a fire alarm and the fire department would show up at [...]

New safety rules for children's clothes have stores in a fit

January 8, 2009 By LittleTechGirl View Comments

Ok, I am all for making clothes, toys, etc. safe for my children. But after reading this, I have to say this seems a bit extreme. This new law is going to put small business owners out of business, keep resale shops from taking or selling clothes, keep people like me from selling things off [...]
