| | Apple has had something of an exciting couple of weeks, it has to be said. There was the announcement of the iPhone and the predictable if misplaced media frenzy that accompanied it. Misplaced because, let’s face it, do we really need another smartphone even if it can play music which, … |

| | Surely the place to be asking this is Facebook tech support? |
| | Wireless is, without doubt, a really great thing. Apart from when it doesn't work that is. If you live in a big old house, for example, then getting your WiFi signal to extend through a few thick walls from one end of the place to the other is not always … |

| | Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has already conquered Twitter, and now it would appear he has become the undisputed King of YouTube after knocking Lady Gaga off of the 'most viewed video ever' spot. According to a posting on Twitter by YouTube, Bieber first overtook Lady Gaga on Thursday night … |
| | You know, actually telling people what you want rather than assuming they will be able to guess what a "device which have all the required things in it" is might have been a good idea. That said, doing a bit of research yourself for a homework project rather than expecting … |
| | Many of the biggest forum-based online communities, including DaniWeb, are powered by vBulletin software. So it came as something of a shock when the BBC reported that a [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10714192"]vBulletin security flaw means that any hacker could "easily access the main administrator username and password for a site"[/URL]. But is the … |
| | I'm for anything that keeps the little darlings quiet. Mind you, I do have a cold and my kids are being a PITA right now, which might influence my judgment. :) |
| | According to [URL="www.thinkbroadband.com/ipv6"]research conducted by thinkbroadband.com[/URL], there is significant confusion amongst broadband providers not only as to whether they support IPv6 but also as to what it actually is. Surprising, when you consider that IPv6 has been available since 1998 and much written about - [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story218110.html"]including here on DaniWeb[/URL] for … |
| | Most spam continues to be drugs related, yet it is aimed at workers in the automotive industry. The United States, traditionally king of malware infected email, has dropped like a lead balloon to be overtaken by the UK. And workers prefer to download stuff on the move and get their …  |
 | Ben Collins has long been in the frame as a potential Stig, however I don't see anything that confirms this in that news story. As the BBC points out "Ben supplies his services as a driver himself and his company also supplies other drivers" so it is not surprising that … |
| | The likes of Norton these days make much fuss about just how quick installing a security suite is, but you can forget all claims of being done in 60 seconds when it comes to Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security. Think less of speedy rocket-powered installations and more of slow and … |
| | You need to go and ask for help with that in the hardware forums, making sure you explain your problem in enough detail to enable our members to give you the advice you are after. This forum is purely for saying hello and introducing yourself, not for getting help with … |
| | Generally speaking, buying on eBay is the same as buying anywhere else if what you are concerned about is getting a genuine product: if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. |

 | For the record, news story sources are varied and plentiful. I write stories based on press releases that are sent to me, information that gets slipped out on Twitter, information that is provided by individual sources via email/phone and even through my own journalistic investigations. Sure, the same stories get …  |
 | Erm. I surrender :) Over to Dani for the answer to this one... |
| | The great thing about modern technology is that it makes our lives easier, well, most of our lives that is. For some, it would seem, technology just adds another layer of confusion into the whole living their life thing. Take the many cases of people apparently having to do exactly … |
| | Re: Rules Thanks for the vote of confidence AD, a [B]lot[/B] of work went into boiling the rules down into the new shortened version. However, we are hopeful that we have managed to achieve clarity in brevity. [QUOTE=Ancient Dragon;1322115]I just discovered that you have re-written the Member Rules. I like that :) …  |
| | Sadly, I think the correct answer is: know-nothing dumbwads who sincerely believe they know it all are commonplace on the Internet. At least within a forum-based community such as ours you can politely point out the error of their ways and, fingers crossed, the wisdom of crowds will ultimately kick … |
| | The [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story291317.html"]founder of Facebook might be facing the death penalty in Pakistan[/URL] but social media growth is showing no sign of slowing down in India. In fact, it is displaying some of the fastest social networking growth on the planet.

| | I will admit that I didn't stumble upon Steven Levy's classic tale of how the IT west was won, for want of a better phrase, until 1993 when it was republished some 10 years after the original book but with the addition of a handful of new pages to celebrate … |
| | Warnings have been issued today not to complete a customer satisfaction survey that appears to come from McDonald's and promises cash for your answers. A bit like fast food itself, something that looks appetising and promises a quick fix is often not actually that good for you. [attach]17019[/attach]IT security and … |

| | The [URL="http://twitter.com/kevinrose/status/22303570291"]post on Twitter late last night[/URL] simply said "changes coming to digg v4" but it was enough to get me excited, mainly because the person posting those five words was none other than Digg founder and head honcho Kevin Rose. [attach]16949[/attach]The [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story306994.html"]launch of Digg version 4[/URL], which as we … |
 | Agree with Dani, thread hijackers would do the same even if a huge flashing popup box offered them cold hard cash to start a new thread. Button size has precious little to do with it, Internet 'gimme what I need now' syndrome has everything to do with it. Well, it …  |
| | When it comes to data storage and retrieval the current buzz is undoubtedly cloud-shaped, so why would anyone want to invest in Network Attached Storage? Two words: cost and capacity. Cloud services are great, but as far as storing and accessing large amounts of data is concerned things can get … |

| | What do you get if you combine a computer company with a group of Vegans and someone who used to present a popular children's TV show? The less than obvious answer is a Linux computer designed especially for old people. But there you have it, and according to the press … |
| | With the Android developer community buzzing about how easy it is to pirate apps, one outfit took it upon itself to try and track down the pirates. The results are truly shocking. [attach]16959[/attach]The provocatively named Android Police site last week claimed that [URL="http://www.itpro.co.uk/626374/android-app-flaw-allows-easy-piracy"]most Android apps can be simply patched and … |

| | Justin Bieber is, so my 10 year old daughter informs me, a pop sensation. Actually, her exact words when I asked just who the heck this Bieber bloke who keeps topping the Twitter trending chart is were: Oh My God, Justin Bieber, he's gorgeous. A little more journalistic investigation turned … |
| | It's not the first time that Johnny Depp has died according to the Internet, but this time he is not alone. According to an ongoing online campaign, celebrities including Beyonce, Bon Jovi, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz and David Beckham have all been killed in tragic circumstances.

| | Michael Reagan, the eldest son of former US President Ronald Reagan, has accused people who use email services from Apple, AOL, Google, Hotmail and Yahoo! of "supporting the Obama, Pelosi and Reid liberal agenda" and ultimately "hurting our country". His answer, for those supporters of what he calls true "Reagan … |
 | I'm with Dani in that it sounds good as an exercise in blue sky thinking, but bringing it down to Earth would most likely see it break. That said, there's something intriguing about the notion of Open Source web development for want of a better term. |
| | Re: Hi there Hi Sharon, welcome to DaniWeb! Amazing how a small change can make a big difference and leave you feeling like a fish out of water, no matter how much experience you have, isn't it? I think we have all been there and done that in one field or another. Hopefully … |
| | Despite [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/news/story292997.html"]the ongoing signal strength problems displayed by the new iPhone 4[/URL], there can be no denying that the latest Apple gadget has been a runaway success. With Apple claiming 1.7 million units sold in just the first three days it would be hard to argue. One of the not … |
| | OK, so Apple has done it again. Whipped the technology and consumer media up into a feeding frenzy that is. But has it delivered with the truly magical and revolutionary product that was promised? Er, no dude, not by a long shot and here (in no particular order) are 15 …  |
The End.
