A while back Netgear released its revolutionary (in idea, not in practice) wifi phone, in conjunction with Skype. I watched it on Amazon where it was unavailable(sold out?) for some time, saw negative reviews, not only for its high price of $250, but also for its quality, and decided not to bother buying it.

I wrote a post about a month ago about how Myspace has a negative effect on our youth. I think that Myspace is just an extension of the underlying problem, though, which just keeps on getting worse. Just as females have fought for their freedom and the right to be treated as equals […]

I’m talking about Magnolia, the movie filmed in 1999 with exceptional actors & actresses, including Tom Cruise, Julianna Moore, and William Macy, among others.
I decided to watch this movie because I really liked the movie Babel, and it was listed as a similar film and put in the same category as Traffic, Syriana, Crash, Amores […]

A month ago, the New York Times published an article named “Free Services to Inspire Your Cellphone,” and in it there are 2 absolutely free services that I find pretty jaw-dropping.

Free Directory Assistance, dialing 1-800-FREE-411 (does have an ad you have to listen to though). Or, text message 46645 (G-O-O-G-L) with what you need(in […]

of best free software.
I’ve been searching for good free software for a while, mostly for Windows, but since I switched to Linux, for that too. Some of these links are starting points (websites with great info to sift through), others are plain lists. In no particular order:
