If you're an avid Mafia Wars gamer like me, you might have noticed the dirty bra under your wish list if your wish list has been empty. And when you go to your collections and vault tab, you'll notice that there's a new collection called the "money laundering collection" and items listed include: Money Iron, Dirty laundry, Dryer sheets, Money Line, Roll of Quarters, Death by Detergent, and Dirty

I don't know what it is with Samsung and the names they dub their mobile phones over in the UK. The Samsung Star went by Tocco Lite, the Samsung Soul B went by Lucido and now the Samsung Corby is going by the name, Samsung Genio.Honestly, they should just stick with one name for the rest of the world as a lot of people in the UK are importing unlocked mobile phones and all these different names

I LOVE the PS3. Honestly, I think it's the best gaming console out there. The only downside is that PS3 games don't come cheap. You can find cheap PS3 games on your local retailers but they're not really that good. However, if you're an avid gamer and you want to buy the latest PS3 games at a discount, here's a tip: Coupons. Never underestimate the power of coupons. I got some pretty good deals

I've been missing my Tiffany Kim Institute SPA sessions since due to the recession, I have to cut back on some pampering. However, I did find these really cool gadgets that would make your bathroom SPA-like so you don't have to go to the Downtown Chicago Spa in order to get your much needed rest and relaxation.SPA LightsCandles are so five minutes ago. Why not decorate your bathtub with these SPA

In a country where 2G phones are slowly being phased out, it's a surprise that the Blackberry 8520 Curve still managed to find its way on Vodafone UK.Anyways, the Blackberry 8520 Curve is now available on Vodafone UK and it's probably one of Blackberry's cheapest models. The Blackberry Curve 8520 offers an optical D-pad, WiFi, dedicated musicy keys, onboard 3.5mm headset jack, and 3.2 megapixel

With the growth of MMORPG, comes the growth of different clans/guilds. And when you create a guild, you would need a website. Now because of the popularity of online gaming, niche web hosting services like guild hosting has cropped up. The only difference guild hosting services have over ordinary web hosting services is that the former has specialized software and scripts so that you can build

So, the much anticipated follow up of the very successful handset from Samsung, the Samsung Omnia II gets some pictures and reviews. The owner of cellphone-reviews has always been a fan of the Samsung Omnia but it seems that she's not a fan of the update. According to the reviewer, the Samsung Omnia II suffers from the occassional lags although battery life of the mobile phone seems great at 2-3

Okay, so I know that I've steered clear of any social networking sites since I got addicted to Friendster a few years ago but then I keep hearing about Facebook and all my friends have been pestering me to join the website.Honestly, I’ve held off joining Facebook because I felt that it’s like another Friendster. I’m tired of getting testimonials and stuff, so what does Facebook have that could

Have you ever seen some TSE Pullers and thought to yourself, if I had a mini version of that, I could make like Batman and launch myself up a building. Well, the Warn PulzAll may do something similar.The PullzAll can lift or pull around 1000 pounds of weight with a variable motor. The PullzAll has a 15 feet cable with an integrated swiveling hook. Of course, you can't really use it as a grappling

So HTC has released their 3rd Android device: the HTC Hero. This device is really sexy looking and HTC has sweetened the Android UI with their own HTC Sense. The HTC Hero will be available in the UK around July from Orange. No word if it will reach US shores. Specs of the HTC Hero includes: HSDPA, capacitive touchscreen, accelerometer, 3.5mm headset jack, microSD, 5 megapixel camera with

I must admit, although Microsoft Office 2007 is more pleasing to look at than Microsoft Office 2003, I really hate that it doesn't have the old Menu bars. The first time that I used Microsoft Office 2007, I literally took 30 minutes to finish a task that would have been finished in 15 minutes time on the old MS Office 2003. The reason? Because Microsoft decided that instead of making their menu

I've been eyeing the Samsung S8300 as my phone of choice as it has an 8 megapixel camera and a gorgeous AMOLED screen. From the Samsung Tocco Ultra Touch Reviews on the net, all are unanimous in saying that it has indeed a gorgeous screen and perfect for watching HD videos. The problem is the audio quality. There are those who say that the speakers are not so loud and a bit tinny while others say

I'm a very busy person I run a lot of errands as well as have some write-ups that I need to submit so it's hard to keep track of all of my tasks for the day and juggle which errand/task to do first. Outlook's built-in task/to-do list is not really that effective especially since its functions are limited. Thankfully, there's a lot of task software available on the Internet.

Most cheap webhosting are hosted on a shared webhosting service. While shared webhosting service are often times reliable and is an excellent choice if you're just running a small business website or a personal blog but problems will arise once you find your website becoming popular and there is a jump in website traffic. Common indicators that your website needs to have a dedicated server is if

I've never pegged Toshiba to be in the automotive business, I've always equated their name with laptops or notebooks but it seems that Toshiba is making an intelligent automotive system that detects inattentive drivers. With so many in-car gadgets today, most drivers don't always keep their eyes on the road. Toshiba's automotive system can detect the driver's face and eye movements using camera

I was tasked to do a promo post for this innovative gadget for your car: the Battery Brain. So what is the battery brain?

Files with the file extension PPS is associated with Microsoft's powerpoint application. If you purchased your laptop or desktop PC without any Microsoft Office Application bundled, chances, are, you can't open PPS files.

So, ever wanted to create one of those Type T-Shirts with funny and witty one liners? Those kind of shirts are all the rage these days, you’ll see all kinds like “get it here” (and then an arrow down symbol), “I’m with stupid”, etc. Although Type tee shirts / Funny Tee Shirts, or whatever they call it these days are simple, they’re very popular especially if the quotes or slogan is VERY funny.

While Internet marketing is increasing even though we’re experiencing a financial crisis, it may not be for everyone.

Cold Fusion, one of the most powerful programming languages by Adobe, is fast becoming popular amongst webmasters. With Cold Fusion, you can create dynamic and interactive websites and applications. However, even though Cold Fusion is powerful, it's not always as popular as ASP or PHP so you won't find it in cheap or free webhosting services. The good news is that even though it's not that

Social networks are all about meeting new and reuniting with old friends. With MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, etc, you brag about how many friends you have. The more friends you have, the more it seems that you're popular. And if you're lucky enough to be added to a famous person's friends list, then the more bragging rights you have. Well, Acobay, is a new social network with a different twist.
