AVG Anti-virus still strong for well over a decade

Submitted by Dave Won on

I have been an avid user of AVG’s range of anti-virus products for a long time and I have got to say from a personal computer and now mobile computing point of view I have been very impressed with how my devices have been protected for a decade and counting.
I remember back in the early days AVG was simply called Free Anti-virus by AVG may be around 1999… and since those days the software has matured into an amazing commercial product that I have been recommended to all my friends and the pro version to companies I have worked with.

Tracfone LG840G Review (video review)

Submitted by Dave Won. on
The LG840G for Tracfone, is defiantly their best so far, and is the first phone to feature 3G and WiFi. The phone has a strong design and feels really good quality. The price is what you would expect for a top of the line Tracfone device, and will make the current top phone the LG800G seem like junk. A few things that are maybe are not obvious to some people, the phone is not an Android, and will not play Youtube or any other streaming media. Even if you did have this ability it would waist all your minutes in no time. The phone appears to be operating on the T-Mobile network, which is typical of many GSM (sim card) phones. The 3G will make the Tracfone service noticeably faster when using email or the browser. The social networking software application that is installed on the phone is called SNS it is an all-in-one for connecting to Twitter, Facebook and myspace. The screen on the phone isn’t a high resolution, you can see the pixels but for a Tracfone, it is better than other phones previously.

Submitted by Dave Won on

The merger of T-Mobile USA and MetroPCS was a bit of a shock for customers of both companies not just the shareholders. When the merger is completed the company will be using just the T-Mobile brand dissolving the MetroPCS brand eventually.

For T-Mobile customers there is going to be finally a path to 4G LTE and an even larger network base and customers.  For customers of both MetroPCS and T-Mobile there is a good outlook as the benefits for the merger is a move to newer LTE technologies on GSM networks.

Submitted by Dave Won. on

After using the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S2 for a few days now I have got to say there are going to be some very happy people when they go out and get this phone.

If you’re a customer of Google Adwords, then you will be well aware of how as their customer you are ignored when issues arise. Sometimes after days and sometimes weeks of waiting for a problem to be fixed you have got to wonder how any company can stay afloat after such poor service.
