Microsoft's
Bing will now power Yahoo
search! The deal involves Yahoo agreeing to use Microsoft's search engine on its
Web sites, with Yahoo handling the sale of text ads that appear alongside the
search results for its own sites and some of Microsoft's. So basically Bing gets
all of Yahoo's market share in exchange for some future ad revenues...more

Computer games freeze up
on my system
I like to
play games on the computer.
I usually play on an online
site (pogo) and I have no
problems. However, the few
times I have purchased a
game for my computer it
freezes up because I don't
have a good enough graphics
card (I think). I need to
upgrade. Just like me and
vehicles if I start messing
with the guts of this thing
it will never run again.
I don't even know how to
figure out what I need...more

It's easy to be
intimidated by all the
laptop models on the
market today. There are
literally dozens and
dozens in every price
range.
The key to finding the
right one for you is to
step back and consider
exactly how you plan to
use your laptop. When
you define what you need
before you go shopping,
buying the right machine
becomes much easier.
Where do you start?
There are so many brands
and models of computers
available, and it can
all be a little
overwhelming when you
start to look around.
How do you decide
what type of computer
you need? And perhaps
more importantly, how do
you decide what the best
value is?
I have sold computers
professionally for
almost 20 years, and
there are certain
"tricks of the trade"
that most computer
stores and salespeople
use. Knowing these
secrets can make your
decision easier and will
help you buy the right
computer for your
needs....

decided to pull the plug

If you read some forums

that, it will end its spree
of destruction by quite
possibly eating your children...more

and we really like it... a lot.
Microsoft will start selling Office on a subscription
basis this month. It will charge $70 per year for Word,

most as the cost of security software alone can be as
much as $40 per year...more
