The Beatles are founding fathers of music, and they deserve some respect for that. However, U2 has been more solid over a far longer period of time releasing NEW MUSIC. Yeah, the Beatles have been around for a far longer number of years, but put together the years they were together, and compare it to […]

I’ve been a user of the Firefox web browser for some time now. There’s been a lot written in the press about how Firefox is safer over IE, and I believe that to only marginally be true. Firefox is considered safer because it’s got a smaller market value, and there’s fewer attacks on it vs. […]
