Google Will Stop Supporting IE 6 On March 1st
Jan 30th
Google is yet again is trying to dominate the Internet.
On Friday they issued a blog post Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on March 1 2010. Why, you may be asking? They claim security issues and say that they newer version of Google apps and sites will be too much for the older version.
They will support(or at least for now) IE 7+, Firefox 3.0+, Chrome 4.0+ and Safari 3.0+. They did not say if they would or would not support Opera.
In reality, I believe that they are making way for cutting out total support of any 3′rd party browser support for their services. Personally I have tried Chrome and I think that it is deeply lacking the major features that Firefox and IE can offer.
Anyway, if you still are using IE 6 and want to use Google services, you have until March 1st to upgrade to a newer browser.
Feel free to comment about your thoughts and feelings towards Google’s new move.

Is The iPad Just A Giant Version Of The iPhone?
Jan 28th
Long time, no post 
But I am back and kickin’! So todays topic is all about Apple’s tablet computer, the newly annouced iPad.
I am going to be honest, I do not see that much difference among this and the iPhone/iPod Touch. It looks like a giant version of it and it does not seem to offer all that much more. Really, could not they offer something more to it or not? Or change the name?
I guess though, maybe if they named it something like the iPod or iPhone then it would have the same success?
Personally though, I just do not see it catching on. Tablet computers have been out for a long time and have yet to over take desktops/notebooks/netbooks. I think the hype will fade out pretty soon, and with them being so late in the game it will be a huge loss for them.
Tell me, what do you think about the iPad? Do you think it will be successful?
IMshopping
Oct 31st
Okay, I know that I haven’t post that many updates which sucks. But I on the other hand have been busy with work and my real personal life. But I am hoping to post here more often again.
But back to my topic! I joined a site called IMshopping.com and I love it. They have asked us members who have been picked as guides to share this info-
“Just wanted to pass on that IMshopping has lowered the hiring age to 16 so if you have teens that are interested in becoming pt paid guides then they can certainly sign up, answer 25 questions minimum and apply for a position. IMshopping is a shopping question and answer site that pays weekly by paypal on a $20 minimum. They can compete to win Best Answers too for $2 each.
Also EVERYONE over 13 years is eligible for the 2 weekly $50 prizes for Most Creative and Most Actively Viewed questions. So be sure to ask questions on the site to win!

This is a great way to make extra money even if you do not get to be a shopping gude. Many people have great reviews for them.
Regarding if they hire non-USA based guides, I’m not sure. They most likely don’t, but you can contact them to ask.
Mp3 Player Issues(Creative Labs Zen Stone Plus)
Aug 14th
Okay, today is more of a real tech post and a question for my readers. Back in 2007(late, I know) I got my first mp3 player. Creative Stone Plus, to be exact. I love it, though the battery charge doesn’t last long. Which sucks for me, but I still use it.
However, since last month my battery will not charge fully. So I think my battery is dying on me. Now, I have no idea what it will cost to send it in to get it replaced and for them to ship it back. I guess I should look into it, however I dread to know how much it will cost.
So my question is, should I try to get the battery replaced or should I buy a better mp3 player thats battery lasts longer(I am think iPod, since my sister has one and the battery is still good)? I even posted something about on twitter, though I do not think creative labs has a twitter account nor will they find my post…..
Thanks in advance.
