Compusa is back and better than ever

Compusa

I was browsing the web for a new computer and stumbled along compusa.com. When Compusa filed for bankruptcy I figured that the whole company went down but not according to the website. The website states that compusa was bought out by Systemax and also joined by TigerDirect. I started to browse through Compusa and I was really surprised by their low prices. I have purchased many items from compusa.com and am really happy with their prices and customer service. The first item purchased was a 1GB USB thumb drive for $7.99 which was the lowest price I found on the Internet. The second item I bought from was a 28inch I-INC LCD Monitor for $299.99 which was also the lowest price on the Internet that I found. (more…)

Blackberry Curve Vs. Apple iPhone

posted by: Boris Nekta

Both phones have tons of features and adds-on but each phone is on opposite ends. I have both phones operating in New York, The blackberry curve is on T-mobile service and the apple iPhone on AT&T service. I like that the Apple iPhone has a touch screen and is able to store thousands of mp3s which are downloadable through an easy service such as iTunes.

The Apple iPhone also has camera and a downloadable application store where the user can download application and games for the iPhone. Some programs are free of charge while others have charges that vary from $0.99 to $9.99. The apple iPhone glides through the programs with ease and rarely freezes. The phone reception is good and rarely has times with no service. (more…)

Blog Linker - Gadget Advisor

Gadget Advisor

I was searching the internet for firefox plugins when I came accross a website Gadget Advisor.  They have an article about Best Extentions for Firefox.  This list is massive and comes with a description of all the plugins, although some of these plugins I already knew about such as Adblock Plus and Download Status Bar, but then there are many that are useful that I didn’t know about such as IE View Lite, which allows the user to enter a website in firefox, but under IE mode, because some sites only work on IE, and vice versa, and this add-on makes it really easy to switch.  So I sticked around on the site to see other posts and read about the MSI x58 Eclipse Motherboard, and another post about the Blaze Media Pro review.  What I am trying to say is that how you can stumble upon to a great website by just searching for one small thing and find a great blog, I will definitely be adding Gadget Advisor to my RSS reader.

Is One Theme all that you need?

posted by: Vlad Akilov

Premium WordPress themes are all the rage. After all, more people than ever before are using WordPress as their blogging platform of choice. That being said, you need to select a theme in order for your site to really take off: this is where One Theme comes into play. From the front page of the One Theme website you will see what the creators of this theme think:

“One Theme is not just a WordPress theme…It’s an enhancement, an “all in one” package that turns WordPress into the management tool you wish it was.” With so much already going for it, these are bold words. But after taking a closer look at what this theme has to offer, it is safe to say that you may agree with these accolades. (more…)

Yahoo – Microsoft Deal Back on?

Microsoft Yahoo

It appears that Microsoft is once again talking to Yahoo about the possible acquisition of the company. That being said, there is a lot of confusion on exactly what the two parties are discussing. Some sources are reporting that Microsoft is attempting to resurrect the offer that they made for Yahoo a few weeks back. On the other side of things, some feel that Microsoft is only interested in purchasing Yahoo’s search business. Either way, most believe that the companies are definitely discussing some sort of deal.

TechCrunch, a popular tech news blog, reported that both sides are open to discussions about a full buyout. They also reported that Microsoft is offering less than the $33/share that was on the table when Yahoo walked away the first time. (more…)

Google Delaying Mobile Software Android

posted by: Vlad Akilov

Google may dominate the online world, but they are finding out the hard way that jumping into the mobile phone industry is a different story entirely.

In November, Google, along with more than 30 partners, announced that they would be offering handsets based off of their mobile software, Android. At the time, Google was confident that they would be able to have these phones on the market sometime during the early part of the second half of 2008. Of course, a project of this magnitude can change many times over and is based on thousands of factors. For this reason, Google has announced that the phones will not be made available to the public until sometime during the 4th quarter. (more…)
