I’ve been wanting to upgrade my internet to a faster upload speed. My download speed is fine, it’s the upload I have a problem with. Here’s my speedtest.net result before I upgraded my internet. Here’s the results after the upgrade.
Google has finally released the Google Drive service. If you’re familiar with Dropbox, Microsoft’s SkyDrive, Apple’s iCloud, etc, it’s the same thing. I’ve been using Dropbox for years and enjoy it a lot. The free service gives you 2GB and you can upgrade it with a paid subscription. There are already many advantages for me…
I’m really liking the new apps you can install for Spotify. It gives you stations based on the mostly listened to artists. And because Spotify is online, it will track your listening activities throughout multiple devices. You can also create your own radio station. The monthly subscription fee is only $10. I figured it’s a…
My aunt’s PC got infected with a trojan virus. She called me and ask if she should use some kind of antivirus to clean her PC. I remember installing Microsoft Security Essentials and as she is describing the interface it didn’t sound familiar. I told her that the so called antivirus itself could be the…
It’s been weeks since I started to look for an online storage service. I’ve looked in the past but I haven’t put much time and dedication as I have lately. I already have a RAID1+0 set up, an internal drive to handle daily backups, and a Terastation NAS box – why do I need storage…
Vonage has recently added an unlimited plan that allows you to call the Philippines. I have been waiting for this for so many years. We had a Vonage account a few years ago and was paying $24/month. We sent the device to the Philippines so that we can call them locally. The problem is it…
With Aedyn coming soon, I wanted to find ways to reduce monthly expenses – just in case. I currently have cable internet with Road Runner. I’m usally downloading at 5,500kbps with an upload speed of around 400kbps. Not bad but it’s about $46 per month. I saw AT&T DSL and now they don’t have a…
I just got my Targus XL backpack from Amazon. The bag is huge. It fits up to a 17” laptop and has plenty of compartments. I am able to carry the following items: HP dv9999us laptop (17” laptop) and cables Apple MacBook Pro (15” laptop) and cables Canon CanoScan LIDE 500F scanner and cables Logitech…
I’ve been trying to figure out how I can sync my calendars on to more than one machine. Since switching to a Mac a couple of years ago, I’ve been using iCal. What I hate though is having to pay for a .Mac account (now know as Mobile Me) every year. It’s $100 annually but…
Starbucks started a program with their card. It’s a rewards program. As long as you keep your card active (use/reload at least one a month), you can get free refills on brewed coffee, extra syrup or milk options, and my favorite – up to 2 hours of free AT&T wifi access. What’s great about this…
