Its time people had furniture… console specific that is

May 5th, 2008

I reckon this thing will make your television stand hold a label reading ‘Jackass’. This one is purely for Nintendo Wii. Licensed by Nintendo, this Wii stand can accomodate all your Wii franchise including Wii titles. According to jonas_mofos’s shop, Nintendo has stopped producing these stands and are now a rarity. Made of ‘Shiny white wood’, this stand requires no assembly and is hassle free.

Being 36 inches taller, it makes your living room more attractive as its gloss and white wood. Already at the time of looking at this product, there were 6 bidders and for a starting price of $51 (excluding shipment charges) this is a real bargain if the love of your life is Wii. Why don’t we just say its sugar, spice and everything ‘Wiis’.

April 27th, 2008

It’s simply weired that in Windows Vista won’t let you uninstall Windows Defender which is kinda ultimate useless application of all time. :D Strangely it does allow uninstalling in Windows XP.

Now that Windows Vista installs Windows Defender by default, many people are looking for ways to disable, uninstall or remove it from system so that they could install any other anti-spyware programs. Besides using some precious cpu and memory resources Windows Defender as I already told you is a lameware, also because if you use something like Kaspersky Internet Security its almost impossible for spywares to get inside.

Download the latest AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 Free Edition

Folks here at TT really love antivirus especially if they are free! Recently many security companies were giving away free license versions or their flagship antivirus applications. Yet still many people love AVG Antivrus free edition to the core. It was 2 months ago Grisoft updated there free antivirus to version 7.5 and today they finally kick start with the AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0.

The new version is a must have because of the new anti-virus and anti-spyware engine. It surely isn’t a replacement for my favorite Kaseprsky Internet Security, still it gives basic protection against viruses and spyware.
