So it’s been many months since Windows 7 was released to the public, and during my travels on the web, I have seen praise from so many people about how they are enjoying Windows 7 . Some of these are even coming from Mac users which really should tell you something. My experience has exceeded my initial expectations, and I enjoy using Windows 7 every single day. Performance has been outstanding on my main rig, which is obviously quite powerful, but I can say the same thing f...

One of the things I really can’t stand about my office is the mess of cables that are clearly visible to whomever walks by my desk. As much as I have tried to clean and consolidate the cables, it still left a mess. My solution was to take a trip to IKEA and pickup this cable management rack I saw on Lifehacker. Installation just takes a few minutes, and then you have a nice cable rack where you can route and wrap cables around. With this I ran th...

Another success story from another broke government entitlement program. Just what we need, more of this! “This year, the system will pay out more in benefits than it receives in payroll taxes , an important threshold it was not expected to cross until at least 2016, according to the Congressional Budget Office .” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/business/economy/25social.html?hp
Definitely a good thing for democrats as their wish has always been a United States that is fully dependent on government welfare. Great article, take a read. “A Washington Times report underscores this shift. Last year, "for the first time since the Great Depression, Americans took more aid from the government than they paid in taxes," it has determined.
