A trip home to visit family prompted me to write an article on how to get rid of toolbars. I wanted to check my e-mail, so I turned on my mother’s computer and opened her un-updated IE browser. She didn’t just have one toolbar; the toolbars were so numerous her browser looked like the nearly-closed [...]
Privacy is more important to some people than others. This is why some people have more of a desire to get rid of cookies than others. It makes good sense. Especially if you’re on a public computer or share your computer with other people. Getting rid of cookies is important for other reasons too. While [...]

Recently, I was talking with a friend of mine who is also the arch tech-lord for a school teeming with computers. Needless to say, his plate is a full one. If he ever rose to a position of legislative power, we would all need to secure licences in order to sit down at a machine. [...]

Getting rid of popups isn’t as big of a deal as it used to be. Many of the websites (particularly of the adult nature) don’t really employ popups as a means of advertisement anymore because of the recent advents in web browsing technology. It’s far more common to see popups due to background spyware and [...]

I don’t usually do this sort of thing on this website because this isn’t a political platform, this site is about solid information and research. But, because telecom companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T want to privatize the internet, regulate what you see, what you read, and where you go–I feel obligated to tell you [...]

After reading enough spam and junk emails about your lack of “girth” or “length” as a man, or enough emails about how big your butt looks, you may be starting to wonder how to get rid of junkmail, otherwise known as spam on the intertron. Indeed, even I am sick of the emails about my [...]
