Amazon Student

I recently came across an offer from Amazon. They are now offering their Amazon Prime service for free to college students. I not a huge fan of Amazon Prime because of the price. If you are an active Amazon user you might find value in it, but I buy maybe 1 item a month from Amazon. The usual price is $79 a year to get 2 day shipping on everything Amazon sells. You can upgrade to next day shipping for #3.99 an item if you need your stuff faster. If are a current college student and have a .edu email address, you can go to http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info to sign up. For the low price of FREE I believe it’s worth the price.

I have used FStream to listen to TWiT Live on WiFi and on AT&T’s EDGE network (I have an original iPhone 8GB) both worked very well. �Even on EDGE the connection didn’t drop out. � Now I can listen while driving or when shopping with the wife. �Good luck!

“Most likely you have been directed to this document because you have attempted to e-mail me a document in Microsoft Word format. I would like to explain to you why I am probably not able to access this document, why you should reconsider sending them to people, and what better alternatives are available for document exchange over the Internet.”

– I going to start sending this link to people who send me .doc files… I really can’t remember the last time that happend though.

Should you Trust Open DNS Free Service – Pros & Cons Debated

eclipseempire — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 14:18:06 +0000

OpenDNS is a new start up that wants users to redirect web traffic through its DNS nameservers, where an unusually large cache and an aggregated list of sites deemed guilty of phishing will make our web surfing faster and safer. It’s free and as simple as changing your DNS address from your ISP and to OpenDNS, but a number of serious concerns

– There is also some positive reviews at the bottom of this post.

A DNS that fights back for you!

Anti typo-squatting (resolves craigslist.og to craigslist.org), a really big cache, several redundant/fast connections, and anti-phishing. Just by changing your DNS settings!

– I started to use this sevice. So far I see no diffrence. Will update…
