Getting a new mobile phone on contract from a mobile phone network may be a great way to get a new mobile phone, compared to buying it from a high street dealer. But what if you keep getting rejected due to your bad credit record? Then you’re going to need a company that may be more sympathetic towards someone who has a poor credit rating. Here are some simple tips you should consider when applying for a mobile phone contract if you have bad credit history or credit problems.
People usually get refused when they apply for a contract mobile phone because of their poor credit history or even a lack of credit history.

This week is the Build conference being held in Anaheim, California. Microsoft is using it as the official unveiling of Windows 8 to the world. Usually, an unveiling such as this is followed with calls for “when can I play with it?” Well, the answer to that question is “tonight”.
When Microsoft was desperately trying to make up for the car wreck that was Windows Vista, they decided to release previews of Windows 7 really early for anyone to download and try. It worked really well. Read the rest of this entry »

Many of us thought that Mozilla had gone to crazy town when they announced their “Rapid Release Timeline” for Firefox, with new full version releases every six weeks or so. But after taking seemingly forever to get through the first few versions, we’ve jumped from version 4 to 6 in just a few short weeks.
Mozilla announced the release of Firefox 6 on Tuesday, after pushing out Firefox 5 eight weeks ago in late June and Firefox 4 back in March. While that sounds crazy enough, the company is already on the fast track with Firefox 7, scheduled for release on September 27 — with Firefox 8 and 9 already queued up in the company’s “aurora” and “nightly” channels prior to beta.
While computer users have become accustomed to lots of new features and gloss with major version numbers, that’s not quite the case with Firefox, which really looks no different from the previous Read the rest of this entry »

I think we’ve seen enough Rage gameplay videos to confirm the game looks gorgeous and is set to be a must-have FPS next month. But this latest video is different. Up until now I’ve been watching single-player gameplay videos–this one is all about the co-op elements.
In this scenario the gameplay is setup as the Shrouded clan having travelled to Wellspring in order to destroy the town’s water supply. You and a friend take the role of the “warriors” who have to stop them. What follows is a pretty intense battle through the streets of the town using all the weapons and gadgets you have to hand.
The enemy not only tries to take you out with their guns, but has planted bombs that need to be defused. That sets the scene for some real teamwork as one of you carries out the bomb defusing while the other provides cover from the relentless enemy closing in.
As id Software demonstrated back in April, co-op will take the Read the rest of this entry »

Like all laser printers, the Kyocera laser printer also has its set of performance woes that could be resolved by simple troubleshooting. When the printer has been in operation for a long time, troubles usually commence with the rubber rollers or from the sensitive components that are already aging. However if trouble emanates from the toner cartridge, a Kyocera compatible cartridge replacement can resolve the issue and allow trouble free printing to proceed once again.
Defective Rollers. The function of the rubber rollers is to seamlessly move paper from one printer component to the next; failure often results in paper jams. The Kyocera laser printer employs several of these rubber rollers in its operations. This begins with the pick-up rollers from the paper tray to the OPC Drum (Organic Photo Receptive); to the fuser assembly rollers and down to the exit rollers that is responsible for the exit of paper from the printer. Since paper is abrasive, Read the rest of this entry »

In our recent review of Shadow Cities we said it was “Part RPG, part location-based team strategy game, all addictive time-sink.” Unfortunately, when I was reading the review, I didn’t pay enough attention to those last three words. Too bad, because weeks later, I’m still sinking all of my time into the epic mage battles.
Doesn’t get much epic-er than that.
So what am I doing? Mostly just trying to sign up all my friends to get extra mana potions. Why do I need extra mana potions? To get extra emblems and a fancy swirly avatar. Why do I need that Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever had a missed call from an unlisted number? Maybe you have just received one now and you wish to know who the caller was?
Traditional methods of searching for the details of a missed caller would be to search for the phone number in a directory. However some numbers are omitted from such publicly available directories such as the notorious unlisted number. This is where it got its name from after all. It is not listed in the public phone number databases.
You will also find that cell phone numbers do not appear in public Read the rest of this entry »

While Apple is busy filing lawsuits against Samsung regarding the design of its products, Samsung has taken an opportunity to complain that the iPhone 4 is not the world’s thinnest smartphone as claimed in an Apple advertisement. Samsung believes its own Galaxy S2 is actually thinner, and therefore Apple is making false claims.
The iPhone 4 is 9.3mm thick, but the Galaxy S2 is only 8.71mm thick. That’s a clear win, right? Not according to Apple who has now been backed up by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in the UK.
The point of contention is the thickest part of a smartphone. While the majority of the Galaxy S2 is indeed 8.71mm thick, it has a bulge at one end that increases the thickness to 9.91mm–much thicker than the iPhone 4. The ASA agreed with Apple that Samsung can’t claim world’s thinnest smartphone because of this, and because the Read the rest of this entry »
