Logitech Wireless Desktop MK710 Review + Giveaway from UNEEDIT.com

Virtual Clone Drive on Windows 7
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.

Promote your WordPress blog on Facebook!
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… Continue Reading

Hmm, perhaps Comcast really does care!
In the comments of my posts titled “Comcast’s DVC is driving me nuts!!” I received a comment from Mark Casem, of the National Operations Team at Comcast.

Dvd intros and menu’s
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… Continue Reading
Comcast’s DVC is driving me nuts!!
