Vizio VO47L 47 inch 1080p LCD TV Review
January 29th, 2009 
admin Well, I have had this TV for a month and I absolutely love it. It’s a 60HZ LCD screen, but honestly, I have a hard time telling the difference. And talk about a value. This thing was a great price – and the quality is pretty amazing. The picture is clear, bright, and color faithful. [...]
Clickfree 160GB Automatic Backup Hard Drive
January 27th, 2009 admin One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to back up your data. I cannot stress that enough.

January 19th, 2009 admin Cisco stands ready as more and more corporations seriously consider wireless access points into their network infrastructure. As the horribly insecure WEP security protocol hurries toward the way of the dodo bird, other better security protocols fill the gap.

Hamachi Easy VPN Rocks
January 14th, 2009 admin VPN sucks. It’s usually hard to implement and costly. Some of the router VPNs aren’t so bad. But I have had mixed results with them. And implementing them with clients tends to be a nightmare. Recently I can across a very easy VPN solution called Hamachi. It’s small and easy, but don’t let that fool [...]

Sony Vaio P Microbook
January 8th, 2009 admin Yeah, Sony is trying to avoid calling this thing a netbook. I call it a microbook. You can call it uncle, darling, or whatever. Whatever you call it – it’s a very cool laptop, er microbook, that will be popular. Heck, it only weighs 1.4lbs and is less than an inch thick and starts at [...]
