A visual guide to the open internet

Network neutrality is the idea that your cellular, cable, or phone internet connection should treat all websites and services the same. Big companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast want to treat them differently so they can charge you more depending on what you use.

Too bad Net Neutrality doesn't cover Mobile Networks.  Check this out:

I like Puran Defrag as it has a good boot time defrag 8)

iObit lost our confidence. It would be very very difficult (impossible) to restore it.
A serious company cannot make such mistakes.

The ten worst products of 2010
We’ve seen some absolutely brilliant kit this year. Stand-outs include the obvious (think the Apple iPad) and the less obvious (why hello there, Sony VAIO Z13), but this blog is to celebrate the rubbish. The stuff that, with any luck, may already have been pulled off the shelves due to its sheer stupidity.
