Posted on November 22, 2015

Windows-10-logoFirst of all, let me say that I really appreciate Microsoft’s generosity in letting Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users upgrade their PCs to Windows 10 for free.

000webhost has been hacked. Account holders need to take action now!

Posted on October 30, 2015

000webhost-logo000webhost is one of the largest free web hosting companies on the web, because…well, they don’t charge anything for hosting their customers’ websites.
