I've owned a Logitech MX Revolution mouse for over a year now, and I use it with my laptop all of the time. One thing that has always bugged me, however, was that every time I restart my computer the mouse pointer speed (located in the Mouse properties in the Control Panel) is reset back to it's default settings. The Touchpad mouse on my laptop moves extremely slow when the default settings are enabled,

One of the features that I use quite often in Gmail is the filter list. With filters I'm able to forward, apply labels, and delete/archive emails as they come in. Unfortunately this was also a source for hackers to wreak havoc on you.

As it turns out new filters could previously be added simply by visiting an unsuspecting website. The malicious site can create filters

A few weeks ago when Google added the color-coded labels feature to Gmail, one of the first things that I thought about was the fact that this feature wouldn't be available in our Google Apps account.

It's hard to believe it but Learn Firefox turned one year old on December 25th! With nearly 200 articles, the site has turned into the place to go for those who are just learning all about Firefox.

These days most of us can't get away with using just one instant messenger. You have a few contacts that you talk to on Messenger, a few on Google Talk, a handful on AIM, etc., and so it's impossible to use just one. I've always wondered why the different services didn't get their act together to offer a single service that worked with all of the other services, but they haven't.  Sure there's Trillian, but

For a limited time you can download and use AVG 7.5 Professional Antivirus (RapidShare & MegaUpload mirrors) for free. For those of you running the always-free version of AVG there are some advantages to making the upgrade, such as advanced scanning and scheduling options.

I haven't installed this myself because I've already bought a subscription to the ESET Smart Security suite, but from
