Why is my Verizon Broadband internet with a 5G limit using up data so fast?

Mobi News | Tuesday July 6 2010 1:36 pm | Comments (1)

I can only use 5G’s a month before they start charging me crazy amounts but it seems as though lately my Usage meter has been going up faster and faster despite me using the internet less and less. Last month I watched large flash videos online and listened to tons of music over the internet and all kinds of stuff and used maybe 3-3.5G’s. This month I have only been checking emails, reading news online, and checking my facebook and myspace and in just 2 weeks it says I have used 4G’s!!!!! what the hell is going on? Nothing is running in the background. Why is my internet getting eaten up?

4th Generation Ipod Touch???? Coming Soon in September of 2010 or 2011?

Mobi News | Saturday July 3 2010 12:51 pm | Comments (4) Tags: ,

So I just bought about 2 month ago an ipod touch with only 8GB assuming that the 8GB is a 3rd Generation ipod. I asked the sales associate in the store where I bought the device if my new ipod was 2nd or 3rd generation, the person working in store said that 2nd and 3rd generation ipod are all the same except of their memory capacity and build in speakers with 3rd generation and if I so desperate to have speakers I could buy them separetely only for $30 and somethings.
Yesterday I was checking my daily news on internet and I found out that with the new release of iphone 4G there is a new firmare that I read only available with 3rd generation ipod touches.
I contacted bestbuy store if they receive ipod touches with receive and original packaging except it’s already open. for me to buy a 3rd generation ipod because I’m not really good at technology. But because I bought my ipod about 2 months ago and warranty is only for 30 days I am doomed.
Still I the option to return my almost new ipod to apple store (sending it somewhere with my money included).
I know that new update for ipod touch is not very major because you still can jailbreak your ipod with “cydia” software and still get the same results as the new firmare is going to, but with cydia the warranty of 1 year of ipod touch 2nd generation dies automaticaly after jailbreaking.

Still I am pretty sure that there is coming probably a new better version ipod than 3Genaration so if I buy it a 32gb now after I would regret it for sure.

memory causing windows to freeze?

Mobi News | Friday July 2 2010 8:37 pm | Comments (2) Tags: , , ,

I recently built a new computer from scratch with high end components and installed Windows Vista 64-bit.
I was having major issues with the system freezing permanently and randomly during use.
I would run windows memory diagnostic software and it did not find any hardware errors.

I had a 4 gig dual channel memory kit installed in the first 2 dimm slots on my motherboard.
I tried changing the memory to the last two dimm slots and the computer then seemed to work for a while but ultimately started freezing again.
Windows would also occasionally crash fatally to a blue error screen.

I then switched the memory to the 1st and 3rd dimm slots(both blue colored slots) and now Windows hasn’t froze or crashed in days.

Can anyone tell me why this last solution might have worked?
I have an Asus Maximus Extreme motherboard:

And 4g of OCZ Platinum Enhanced DDR3 memory

Thanks
