If you haven't heard yet, Microsoft is now admitting that it slowed down transfer speeds because of Windows 7 settings. The patch to this fix is contained on kb2581464 but you'll still have to tweak your registry.
For everyone else just wait until Microsoft deploys it via Windows Update. Hopefully everyone will now be please with their flash drives transfer speeds.

Roboform for U3
What happened to RoboForm's U3 free download. It's still available but it looks like RoboForm is hiding it to force user's to purchase their product. As a registered user, I must admit that the software is a must have password manager with unlimited free updates.

Youtube Keyboard shortcuts
Let's just say that if you want to easily watch videos on YouTube, these are great shortcut tips.
Full screen view of videos: Press F11 to view the running video in full screen mode.
Play or pause a video: Pressing space bar will pause the currently running video and pressing space bar again will release (play) the video.
Volume up/ down: If you want to turn volume up or down when a video is playing, press up arrow to increase volume or down key to decrease volume of the videos.
Forward or Rewind a video: Pressing left key rewinds video 10% and right key forwards video 10%.
Skip through the video: If you do not like the starting of a video and want to skip the starting part or even want to jump over to half of the video, you can do so using keys 0 to 10. 0 being a shortcut to jump at the beginning of the video.
Lots of thanks from Parkblogger.com

$1- Hosting
In need of a hosting site, well I prefer GoDaddy.com, but if your not doing anything on to your domain and you just want your page just up. It's an alternative.
They're are some draw backs with it because sites could go down often. But when compared to other's it's still worth the cost.
