How many times have you picked your remote up to find that you have the wrong one in your hand, well the answer is an All-In-One Remote but boy some of them look ugly and do not offer the full controls needed for your many devices. Well that is until now as Logitech has the cool and slick looking Harmony One Universal Remote which can control many devices from DVD’s, TV’s, Blu-Ray Players as well as PC’s and games consoles, such as an Xbox 360 and a Sony PS3.

Google has been updating their toolbar about every three months and this one was just about right on time. I didn’t see any huge difference. The sites that I worked on went up and the ones that I didn’t do much stayed the same. If you really want to improve your rank you just have to work at it all the time. Don’t be too concerned with the actual pagerank, but the amount of traffic that google sends you and what you position is for your desired keywords. I have had pagerank go up and down for site, but had a steady stream of traffic that grew as I added content to my sites.

Lawyers for TorrentSpy, which has been hit with one of the largest fines in copyright history, have shrugged their shoulders and said that the fine won’t get paid. (more…)

Credit card fraud is a huge problem and it’s getting worse. But it’s not card theft that poses the greatest problem - it’s card cloning.

Inside Out follows the Bedfordshire Police to find out how they are tackling the problem.

A fraudulent card transaction takes place every eight seconds and cloning is the biggest type of credit card fraud.

Last year card fraud losses totalled £424.6 million and the problem is getting worse.
Spending spree

Cloning a credit card takes seconds. Whilst a card is being swiped for payment - dishonest staff can swipe the card details which are downloaded on computer.

A duplicate card is made and until your next credit card statement arrives to alert you - the cloner can spend at will. (more…)

Today we have found a comparison video of the Iron Man video game and of course its comparing the Sony PS3 against the Xbox 360 version of Iron Man. Game Trailers have gone with the tag line “Can this one man army stand against the console war?” While we can take this anyway we want, it does seem that GT could be aiming at starting a debate between gamers.

Teaming up with Kodak, as we reported Moto would in May last year, the phone will sport a 5 megapixel sensor and Kodak branding in the same way as Sony Ericsson and Nokia brand their phones with the Carl-Zeiss logo.

“They’ve made a camera phone together that is almost ready for release – apparently the quality is supposedly awesome,” an undisclosed source within Motorola told Pocket-lint.

The phone’s rumoured to be called the Motozine ZN5, Chinese-language site Keysj claims.

In May 2007 Kodak announced that it was planning to release its own CMOS sensor in several Motorola mobile phones.
The announcement was made at the JPMorgan Technology Conference in Boston by the company’s president Antonio Perez.

At the time, Kodak said it expected the new models to be available in the first half 2008.

We are awaiting comment from Kodak.

We will keep you posted.

The truth is they never did have total dominance, but at times they have come very close. Microsoft actually entered the Browser Battle quite late on. Infact a man named Neil Larson is credited to be one of the originators of internet browsers, when in 1977 he created a program - The TRS-80 - that allowed browsing between sites via hypertext jumps. This was a DOS program and the basis of much to come. Slowly other browsers powered by DOS and inspired by the TRS 80 were developed. Unfortunately they were often constricted by the limitations of the still fairly young internet itself.

In 1988, Peter Scott and Earle Fogel created a simple, fast browser called Hytelnet, which by 1990 offered users instant logon and access to the online catalogues of over five thousand libraries around the world ? an exhilarating taste of what the internet, and web browsers, would soon be able to offer.
