What’s this? Google has taken a new leap into development, with the creation and soon release of its web browser “Google Chrome”. So many opinions already circulate the web with discussion of such, and the browser is not even available yet. The release of Google Chrome is scheduled for September 2nd of this year (Tomorrow). Perhaps the most anxious creation of Google since its search engine, Google Chrome is said to be equipped with so many new features to the web, it is a new start for browsers world wide.
For those that don’t yet know what DoFollow is, I will make it as simple for you as possible. DoFollow is the opposite of NoFollow! Get it? Maybe not. NoFollow is basically an attribute added to the anchor links of comments, default from most blogging systems, to prevent the links from being indexed from google. Basically, before, if a user left comments with a link back to their websites / blogs, Google and other search engines would not record that link, thus, would not have an increase in pagerank. Now your links are no longer NoFollow, but DoFollow! Commenting on this blog would now benefit your website even further, for search engine ranking and page rank improvements!
Now you can transfer files from computer to computer with a regular 110v AC power cable! The process of this new technology is called ‘Concurrent Voltage Data Transfer’! The only requirements to have this feature working is that you have your computer plugged in to the electrical node on the same circuit breaker. Basically, if you have both computers plugged in in the same room, where one computer only has the power cord plugged in, you should be able to see the harddrive appear in the Windows Network. Or so people thinks.
Are you an owner of a GeForce 8800GS from XFX? I certainly am. I ordered the videocard when I first bought this computer, and it works great. The only problem with the 8800GS is that the card itself is really loud and noisy. You can turn on your computer and hear the fan, and it really does get annoying. The fan is 100% on with no temperature control, and will never be any quieter without the fan controller. I read on some reviews on the fan, that people have called in and received an adaptor to reduce the sound of the fan. I’ve looked at places for where to find the fan adaptor, little did I know, you couldn’t buy it anywhere. You can get it for free.
