Feel the power!


It's great when someone drops off a computer that's running as fast as a slug on sleeping tablets and three hours later they have a fully backed up and lightening fast super machine.... well as good as the day they bought it.

Why do people keep buying guff like Norton Anti virus and Norton security? They suck soooooo badly. Before I sorted out the machine I installed and ran my usual "free" virus checker that found 10 viruses Norton didn't even know about. Please, for the love of God, stop buying Norton garbage peeps!

Norton security makes me laugh. People pay all that money for a software firewall when for the same price they can buy a hardware solution that's a million times more secure! Ditch Norton, go router!

Don't threaten your school with zombies!
Daft news from around the World



In Clark County in the USA a student was arrested and faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge after investigators discovered "materials at Poole's home that outline possible acts of violence aimed at students, teachers, and police". His crime? Writing a story for an English essay about a school being over run by Zombies! Seriously, I kid you not!

Poole told LEX 18 that the whole incident is a big misunderstanding. He claims that what his grandparents found in his journal and turned into police was a short story he wrote for English class.

"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.
