Tons of links to keep you busy this weekend....

**Bamboo** · 07-18-2008, 04:40 PM

So I have seen a bunch of interesting articles over the week I never got around to posting, so figured I would do a big roundup for those that are board.

Here ya go:

CyberNotes: Keyboard Shortcuts For Your Programs

Incubator Helps Find Parts for Building a Computer --this is from Newegg.com, and I really debated about posting this, because I played with it and found it very lacking to help someone see their real options out there. But decided to post it for the fact that it has a price timeline so you can see what the price on an item has been recently, and if it is the best time to buy.

Free Tech-Support Calls for Vista SP1

Darik's Boot and Nuke Securely Wipes Your System in an Emergency

Five Best File Syncing Tools

Firefox 3.0.1 More Secure and Stable --- After reading this, I did the manual check for update (help tab, then check for updates) and surprise, there was 3.0.1. It did cause about 4 of my extensions to no longer work, but they were all ones I rarly ever use, and I'm sure they will be updated.

Top 10 Computer Annoyances and How to Fix Them

We suspect our ISP is shutting down our internet connection when we use a BitTorrent client and/or throttling bandwidth. Is there any way to detect this?

Darik's Boot and Nuke...

Oh that's an old one.

Great program to burn onto a CD and use to wipe clean that old computer before handing it off to your friends.

Incubator...

Goodness, this thing lacks a whole lotta options. I don't like how for the Intel/AMD sides under Hard Drives, they only give your WDs to choose from. They completely left Seagate out of the picture.

My point exactly Acreo!
There are so few options and limits.

Ah I found out why it's so limited.

They take the current day's most popular items in each category and use those for options. So if Brand X wasn't popular on one day, then you wouldn't be able to choose it as a option.
