Nowadays I can’t live without my wireless broadband connection but I have some complaints about the connection that is always going down and giving me some trouble. I am a trader, I trade in the US market and Forex and if the connection fails I can miss an entry or exit point which can lead to big losses in our account. Also the 3G mobile broadband is becoming important to my “trading way” but I never know where to select or find a good internet provider. They seem to be all the same offer. Indeed the package is equal but the service not.
Here in Portugal there’s no chance to compare the different internet providers, but if you live in UK I have a good website for you, on which you can compare all wireless and mobile 3G broadband equipments and providers.
You knew that wireless broadband connections such as HSDPA allow for speeds up to 7.2mbps, while other connections allow for much higher ones??? 7.2mbps! That’s great and the fact is that I didn’t know that there were higher connections…
Am I a noob? If Indeed I was in this matter, now I am not. There are a Top 5 Mobile Broadband Deals and the best on if for 15 pounds and with a velocity of 7.2mbps. Right now Vodafone is the best deal! If you are not sure if you need to change your broadband connection, make a speed test and BroadBand Expert!

Some children get worried when they see their parents glued to the computer playing games or browsing the internet. I would join them. Wouldn’t you?
It seems that a 13-year-old girl was really concerned by her mother being obssessed by World of Warcraft. I’m not going to discuss the game as I don’t play it, I prefer car simulation games and soccer games, especially the ones that are played on a real field. Here’s the excerpt:
“I know it sounds ridiculous but my mother has started playing the computer game WoW, World of Warcraft,” wrote the 13-year-old.
“This summer she has been sitting up all day and all night and she forgets what’s important to me. And when she’s not at the computer she’s like a lost soul. She just looks straight ahead and says nothing. I’m not doing so well.”
Other problems are dads watching porn on the internet and both parents stuck on internet chatrooms.
I hope you’re not surprised by seeing a red box instead of a black box. If you haven’t watch National Geographic Channel’s Air Crash Investigation this might be something new for you.
What matters is what’s inside. Brett, the aficionado who modified this real black box into a computer was exposed to asbestos, which can cause mesothelioma and asbestosis. So don’t try this unless you’re close to a hospital.
As the case is quite small, a fully fledged server wasn’t possible to fit. A Mini-ITX motherboard was installed, with a 800MHz Via C3 CPU, with Slackware Linux running on it.
The Asus Eee Box mini desktop computer matches the tiny Asus Eee notebooks released sometime ago. The desktop version incorporates a Intel Atom N270 processor, Wi-Fi 802.11n connectivity, but no optical drive. The images above indicate that it comes in both black and white. Full specifications and hardware customization after the break.
The PSP is made in such a way that it is possible to hold it with two hands and play games on it, which doesn’t always turn out very comfortable. The guys at AcidMods managed to connect a DualShock PlayStation 2 controller to the PSP. You can check the forum post here, as well as link to tutorials on how to get the PSP to be more comfortable for yourself.
