Over the past week I have been looking around for a new PC and came across some really nice ones (out of my budget obviously) and thought it would be a good idea to show you the most beautiful of my findings. In this post I am going to bring to you the best looking PCs currently on the market, and they all happen to be all-in-ones.




Lately I have noticed a lot of my blogs and php sites keep getting hacked and when they are loaded they start downloading data from the URL traffurl.ru.

How addicted are you? I personally tend to look at Facebook a couple of times a day but as a report carried out by Sophos suggests, far too many people spend far to long on one of the biggest social networking sites in the world.
Facebook has more than 70 million active users and is the [...]




As a web designer I am always happy when I come across icons, stock photography, fonts etc. that I can use for free on my websites, it cuts out a lot of work for me and makes my templates or client websites look a lot better.

I’m back

November 21, 2007
