In this entry I explain the my hype with a great iPhone, Android, and Windows Phone called Paper Karma.

So what is Paper Karma?
Paper Karma is a mobile app in which you take a picture of your junk mail (the address) it then get's processed by the awesome people at Paper Karma, and in a week you will be notified by the companies sending you junk mail of being opt'ed out.

  • How to tell if Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Chrome is 32 BIT or 64BIT

    Posted by David  •  Oct 28th, 2011 8:24:17 am - Subscribe | Mood: good | Music: No Music

    How to tell if Internet Explorer, FireFox, or Chrome is 32 Bit or 64 Bit

    Well it took me over 15 mins to find out how for a client if his version of Internet Explorer was 32 Bit or 64 Bit, the funny thing is that it took me that amount of time, and the answer was in front of me.

    Here are some areas that I check that will not give tell you if your browser is 32 Bit or 64 Bit.

    1. System Folders
    2. Add Uninstall a Program
    3. System Registry (though may be there, but can be hard to located and a complete waste of time)

    So your probably saying to yourself, well just tell us you fool! Well it's located in the task manager! Duh! Who would have thought the task manager would give you the BIT of information you needed. wink.gif

    How To Access the Task Manager

    1. Go to start
    2. Type in Search for Programs and Files
    3. Task Manager

    Browser 64 bit or 32 bit


    If you are on Windows XP do this

    1. Go to start
    2. Run
    3. Type in taskmgr.exe

    Once this is complete go to the processes tab, and move the separator between processes and services to the left to see if the software is *32 bit or *64 bit. If you see nothing, this is because you are not running the program. Pretty damn simple, but I figured it was worth the post since I have not been on my blog in a long time.

    Droid Razr by Motorola Released Tomorrow

    Posted by David  •  Oct 26th, 2011 8:37:35 pm - Subscribe | Mood: tired | Music: No Music

    Seems as though the Droid Razr by Motorola will be released tomorrow. For an iOS user I was wondering if anyone has considered this purchase or would even be interested?



    According to the Droid Razr advertisement by Verizon:

    quote:
    The ultimate power of DROID. The legendary edge of RAZR. Combined to form the world's thinnest 4G LTE smartphone.

    • Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS
    • Dual-core 1.2 GHz processor
    • KEVLAR® strong back plate,
    Gorilla® Glass face
    • 7.1 mm thin with big 4.3 inch
    Super AMOLED Advanced display


    So how about it? Personally if I were under the Android system I would defiantly hold out for the Ice Cream Sandwich release of phones. (which was just released 3 to 5 days ago) Are you under contract?

    Does any one even care about this release?

    Amazon offers .EDU Address Free Amazon Prime

    Posted by David  •  Oct 3rd, 2011 7:23:41 pm - Subscribe | Mood: good | Music: Jimmy Eats World

    Amazon is offering free Amazon Prime a $79.00 for free for 12 months. So what does this mean to you? Well, it means you can take advantage of:

    1. Free 2 day shipping with Amazon on qualified prime items
    2. Free access to Prime Instant Videos which allows you unlimited instant streaming of thousands of movies, and TV Shows.



    For those of you who use to have a .EDU address I would recommend going to the website in which you graduated from or use to attend and try to retrieve it. It took me about 15 minutes to re-familiarize myself with the new interface of my college, but now I have access to my old .EDU account.

    .EDU accounts can get you other discounts like discounts on hardware, software, tickets, and books. Do yourself a favour an take 15 minutes to go and find yours. Use the link below to get your free prime account
