MyFive: Sources for Identifying Unknown Callers

This past week, I experienced several days where the phone rang multiple times throughout the day with a caller claiming I took an online survey about continuing my education. The caller claimed that they wanted to help me find courses to take. Knowing I hadn't filled out any such survey about my education, I was curious and asked for the URL of the website.

MyFive: Things the iPhone Does Better Than Other Phones…

About a week ago we wrote a MyFive including five things we wished the iPhone 3G had. Among them were more than a 2 megapixel camera, a flash for the camera and video recording, multimedia messaging service, a replaceable battery, and a 32GB option.

MyFive: Firefox 3 Chrome URL’s

Firefox's interface is cleverly designed using JavaScript and XUL, and using what's referred to as chrome URL's you can actually open specific windows in a tab or the sidebar. This includes things like the management windows for bookmarks, saved passwords, downloads, extensions, and more. They can even be bookmarked for quick one-click access to them in the future.

MyFive: Package Tracking Widgets

I don't know about you, but these days I find myself buying more and more stuff online rather than going to the store.

The problem is trying to keep up with all of the packages you're supposed to be receiving.

MyFive: Reasons I Love Windows Vista Media Center

I've had a Vista machine setup for over a year whose sole purpose is to record my television shows, and I have to say that I've fallen deeply in love with it.

Since so much time has passed it is easy to forget the messages that were filling the forums and reviews.
