Be Careful Of The Avatar You Use

pyewacket @pyewacket (43903) • United States 19 Feb 11

Many of you may wonder why I'm not using my usual crystal gazing black cat avatar. I've used that photo when I first came across it around 2003--I've used it even before I had my own computer. What struck me about that photo was...

pyrofortress Eeks, those people seem a little bit crazy, hah! Bummer that you missed out on using that photo any longer. They seemed to be extremely harsh to you. I'll remember that if I ever use an avatar, I still don't know what I want! I don't feel like I really want a...

How do you know what antivirus to choose?

blahokay1 @blahokay1 (84) • United States 10 Mar 11

I'm just wondering, I have Avast! free right now, and I was thinking about getting a new one, and I was just wondering, what do I look for in the program?

pyrofortress Don't bother! Avast is a pretty decent free virus protection. I don't believe you have to upgrade at all. It works good for me without slowing down my whole computer like most virus protection does.

pyrofortress Virtual Memory is also called RAM, or Random Access Memory. You may want to upgrade yours to speed up your system! Crucial.com will literally scan your PC and tell you what you need to buy, and often times it's a really easy upgrade. If you don't know quite...

What (to you) makes a successful YouTuber?

skydancer @skydancer (2101) • United States 11 Mar 11

Like many people, over the years I turned to YouTube for various purposes from listening to music (including exposure to new artists) to How To's to the user just vlogging or plain being silly for the camera. Sometimes I am...

pyrofortress Many people would say that a youtuber with the most subscribers is the most popular, but I don't believe that. If you had 100,000 subscribers but not a single one of them watched your videos, then how does that measure your success? But, if you had just 20...

Google...the ultimate search engine online

creovation @creovation (271) • India 11 Mar 11

Google...this is the search engine that everyone says when you want to search something on the internet.... This was started abt 14 years frm now...and it crossed more than a decade online after the google domain is registered in...

pyrofortress I certainly think it will take awhile! Even new search engines like Bing which have a large budget and a lot of people working on it still aren't up to par with Google. It's amazing! Google is simply the best at the moment. Over time I do believe there will be...

pyrofortress It varies from day to day for me. Sometimes it's absolutely fine and the videos load right away, but just the other day I had to wait 15 minutes for a video to load... not fun. Also, I think as it nears the weekend maybe more people are on so the internet...

Do you always watch videos in YouTube?

offlimits @offlimits (596) • Philippines 9 Mar 11

Your time spent on the internet.

ohyeaimhim @ohyeaimhim (87) • United States 7 Mar 11

Paypal Problem

gatorgurlm21 @gatorgurlm21 (213) • United States 10 Mar 11

pyrofortress Ugh. That sounds like an annoying situation. Luckily if Paypal forcefully returns her money it's only $10 bucks. It's a bummer though, I wonder what will happen. I think Paypal will still refund her money even though it's a "gift"... good try though. Just try...

What fears did you get from your parents?

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 10 Mar 11

Hubby and I both just missed the depression around 1930. But what we did get was the fear left over in our parents lives. Loss of job, unable to pay the bills, thrown out of our home, no faith in the government. Do these all sound...

pyrofortress Yea. I definitely don't have any faith whatsoever in the government, that's for sure. I hate the government, actually. I know hate is a strong word, but all the government seems to do is rack up debt and it's really starting to hurt the economy. I'm starting...

pyrofortress Learn stick shift! Manual transmission is so fun and when you go to buy a car it will be about $1,000 cheaper than an automatic car. Also, it will be about 1mpg higher than an automatic car as well. It's great!

Does anyone know where I can get copyright free pictures in general which I can use on my blogs? One of the things I need are pictures of NBA players and games. Thanks!

pyrofortress I'm not sure if you can find NBA players and games on this site, but this is a completely free photography stock image site that you can use the photos for anything unless you are a larger corporation.

pyrofortress The color scheme is nice but it looks a but unaligned and kludged together. Something a bit more streamlined and simple would look much better for a portfolio. The point of a portfolio is to show off your work, so you don't want a design that gets in the way...
