Neat Find: Cheap Broadband in the UK

My nose is always out for a deal and it has been famously said (okay from my own lips so far) that my favourite word is "sale". Actually it is "deal".

Before you sign on that dotted line for a cheap broadband package (Greg: hear me now), check out Cheap Broadband Suppliers.

This I like. No frills, just a great comparison chart, reviews of all the ISPs, and handy guides on broadband. This is how comparison sites should be.

Head on over to find a Broadband Provider now.

Review: Mac Poker

Finally, something for Mac and Linux users to do to while away their time. If you have no clue where to go to start playing poker, head on over to Mac Poker to get acquainted.

The site reviews various poker sites, including Pacific Poker, Poker Stars, and many more.

The user interface design of the site could be more friendly. It comes off as a advertising site at first glance but upon scrolling, one finds comprehensive blog entries on the poker scene and useful tips on playing poker, as well as the all-important coupon codes.

While I am not a proponent of gambling, I do appreciate a good game of poker.

Software: Firefox Crashes a Lot

I had thought it was just my laptop. But it seems Firefox has been crashing on my brother's laptop which is running on XP too. And then I Googled it and... et tu Firefox??? Just on the first page of hits:

One of the theories is that the extensions we run cause it to crash but I very rarely had problems when I was running it on XP and my brother runs no extensions.

Sometimes I even have to resort to using Seamonkey (wish they'd rebrand it) or IE *shudder*. Although I have to say IE7 is not bad at all. Not bad at all.

Hmm...
