We must all admit the computers now play a large part in the life of students. Most students could not be parted from their laptops. They even bring them to class and instead of using good old fashioned notebooks, they even use these electronic...

Many would say that Aero Snap (that feature where Windows 7 automatically snaps your windows into place when you hover over your screens edges when moving the windows) is one of the best things that ever happened to the Aero interface. Personally, I think...

Some webpages have very long url's. There's nothing wrong with them, except that they can be unsightly when you see them pasted on an e-mail or a blog post or on facebook. Aside from aesthetic purposes, you may want to shorten url's if your site or...

One of the common question I get from novice WordPress users is how does one center embedded YouTube Videos in WordPress. Here's how. While you can, technically, use the Visual editor to adjust the alignment, the best way, in my opinion is to use the...

Here's a pretty nifty tip for web developers out there. If you're using your Windows machine for web dev (or for some network-related power usage), you might find yourself editing your Hosts file quite often. The nasty thing about having to do so is...

Windows has decided to feature more of nature in the past two incarnations of Windows. Vista even dubbed the scenic wallpapers "Vistas" for good measure. I know a number of people who would opt staring at these natures scenes as their wallpapers too...

A really good way to save time using Windows is to use shortcut keys. Since Microsoft's so damn, almost all keyboards that you can buy for the PC has the Windows Key. Never mind if you're using it for Linux. Most people just dismiss it as a key that would...

One of the greatest advantages of multi-core technologies is that you can multitask to your heart's content. Do that with the old single core computers and you'd notice a significant drop in performance. But are you pushing your computer too hard? This...
