Get amazing deals on tech items with TigerDirect’s ‘Daily Deal’

Posted on August 23, 2013

tigerdirect-daily-deal-logoIf you enjoy getting great deals on tech items you should check out TigerDirect’s Daily Deal page every day. The items they offer there are usually overstock, closeout or refurbished items (the refurbs are always clearly marked as such), and it’s almost always great stuff!

These deals are only good for that day, and usually only for a few hours since they tend to sell out rather quickly.  [Read more…]

How to center the open windows in Ubuntu

Posted on August 17, 2013

ubuntu-logoAs I explained in this post, Ubuntu Linux is definitely worthy of consideration as a replacement operating system should you ever decide to ditch Microsoft Windows, but it does have a few quirks. Most of those quirks can easily be mitigated however.

But there’s a problem. With so many people using shortened URLs on Facebook and Twitter, it seems all but impossible to determine where a link will take you without clicking on it first. Well, now there is an easy way to determine exactly where a shortened link will take you, and even get a quick “opinion” from security experts about just how safe the landing page is!  [Read more…]
