This week I’ve had to turn once again to the world wide web for its wisdom when it comes to moving partial content from one WordPress site to another. Normally, WordPress’ built in export/import tool would do the trick. But in the case of the two instances I was presented with this week, it was not so. Both existing websites …

PC Killed by Fake Anti-Virus? Get Help.
In these times, I’m glad to have a Mac. There’s a certain virus going around and it’s really good. It gets the best of people- and you usually don’t have to do anything to get it. You just have to be on the internet. Trust me- I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it in the last few months. …
MediaBox: New Interface
Last month I successfully installed Windows 7 on a custom PC and hooked it up to my TV so that we can watch Netflix, hulu, and whatever else. I installed a VNC client on the PC and am using Snow Leopard’s built in VNC Viewer (Screen Sharing) which acts as the MediaBox’s remote control. It’s not as convenient as a …
Jolicloud OS Reviewed
These days with the expansion and tweaking of linux, operating systems are a dime a dozen. A few weeks ago, I reviewed Chrome OS, which Google built on linux, and I wrote how I was disappointed with it, mainly ’cause there’s next to nothing to it. Then I discovered Jolicloud this week via a post by Lifehacker: Jolicloud Netbook OS Is …
More on Pandora: Widget in Dashboard
One of Safari’s “hidden” features (on Mac) is the ability to essentially take any part of a webpage and create a widget in dashboard. Listening to Pandora at home tonight, I wanted a way to listen without a browser window being open, like you can with Open Pandora on Windows (see Get Past Pandora’s Listening Limit for more information).

Use Scalable Background Image on Your Website
Because I basically suck at coding a sweet background to use as website background, I naturally result to Photoshop to design the image…but I get stuck at this question: “Ok, so how exactly am I going to put this image in the background and make it so it doesn’t look cropped, leaving white space around the image?” If you’ve ever …
Get Past Pandora’s Listening Limit
Pandora, you’re great, but I need you more than how long you offer yourself and…let’s face it, I’m not paying money for any kinda of internet service. Pandora sets a 40 hour listening cap on its free “subscription” and resets the number of listening hours at the top of every month, but I always hit that cap with like 2 …

Mactopia? It truly is a real place
Microsoft- poor guys. Granted they do come up with some pretty cool stuff but I’m just not sure what they’re getting at sometimes. I’ll just come out and say it: seems like they’re saying Macintosh is pretty cool and a superior system. I won’t say anymore. Just take a look at the images below.
Need some Change?
I have a video on my cell phone, but my computer won’t play it. The file extension is “.3gp” and what I want to do is upload the video to my blog, but my blog won’t except that kind of file. Searching Google for a downloadable tool only results in software that has to be purchased, everything else I find, …
Free and Fast Business Lookup via GOOGLE
Google has an awesome business directory via Google Maps, but I never expect this. While browsing Google today for a business name, I came across 1-800-GOOG-411. Calling it, I found an exciting array of ease and functionality, and in addition, FREE-NESS. I saved the number in my mobile contacts and I might even put it on speed dial. This is …
