Want to go Home!
Some websites seem to scroll on for miles. If you've ever been to a site like this, do you find it a pain scrolling all the way back up to the top again? Your mouse wheel can only take so much punishment! So, instead of wasting your time digging yourself out of a site, why not just use a quick keystroke and be done with it?
The Home key. It's located above the arrow keys on your keyboard in-between Insert and Page Up. Just hit Home and You're at the top of the webpage!
This tip works just about everywhere, so Firefox and Internet Explorer users are covered! What's better is that is works for stuff like MS Word too! Write as much as you want, browse as much as you want, because you really can go Home again!
What is spyware?
Spyware is basically a type of program that gathers information about you without your knowledge. This information may be distributed to many sources or just a single source.
Note that if a program alerts you that your personal information may be shared it is not "technically" spyware, but it can be considered "Adware".
Spyware programs can be extremely annoying and can wreak havoc on your system. They can cause slow downs, lockups, and all sorts of other problems.
The bad news is there are hundreds of these types of programs out there. Some common spyware programs include: Hotbar, Comet Cursor, Xupiter, Gator, Offer Companion and BonziBuddy.
If you want to make sure that a program is safe before you download or install, head over to Spychecker and type in the name. You will find a link to the company's privacy statement so you can read exactly what information will be collected and how it will be used before you download. I was surprised to find some familiar names.

Stick a paper clip where?!
Did you ever get a disk stuck in your drive? Nothing seems to work—you've pressed the button a million times, tried to open by right-clicking the drive and choosing "eject", maybe even contemplated using a screw driver to pry the thing open.
Before you take out the drive and try to surgically remove the disk, or worse, buy a new drive, try this simple little trick to manually open your disk drive tray.
1. Unwind a paperclip.
2. Stick it in the little hole on the drive tray, usually near the eject button.
There's a little hole you probably never even noticed. It's the manual release for the drive tray.
Conficker Again?
So, it looks like the Conficker worm is still not quite ready to go away. Ever since April 1st when the Conficker worm failed to do its task, as some claimed it would, people assumed that the worm was not a threat. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Some recent research has found that Conficker is alive and well; infecting up to 50,000 computers daily!
First, Conficker has many variants and many different effects it can cause on your computer. Click here to see how.
Do you love playing games like Mahjongg, Diner Dash and Luxor, but you have no real desire to shell out $20 a game for something I can only play once. I’m currently addicted to games where you have to hunt for items in a picture and drop puzzle games. The great news is, now I can play them as much as I want for free!
How does it work? You simply download the Most Fun game player, install it and then start playing. Some of the games are completely free and have no ads, others are supported by short ads before and after the game and some of them periodically pause to show you an ad. I thought the advertisement thing would be really annoying, but instead, I found it is totally worth it to have hours worth of free fun!
Once you’ve installed the player, you can choose as many or as few games as you’d like. The player will download and install them for you and let you know when they are ready to play. You can also use the player to uninstall them if you don’t like a game or if you’ve finished it.
How Your Copy Of Windows Can Expire -
here is a secret I learned about Windows Activation.
If you've ever reinstalled your operating system, or installed Windows from the same disk on another computer, you know that eventually you'll run out of activation licenses. This means no more installs from your Windows disk! How is that right? I spent all this money on a product and I can only use it a certain number of times?
You can just give Microsoft a little phone call and eek out another installation. Just call the Microsoft Windows Vista Consumer Product Activation Phone Number at: 1-866-740-1256, and with little to no persuasion, the helpful folks at MS will grant you another license key!
It's that easy! Just don't abuse it
