DriverSide isn't quite the WebMD of car sites, but its diagnostic tool does give you a sense of what's likely wrong with your car.
DriverSide's mechanics answer user questions.
The site is coming out of beta now and it has a few new features designed for people who don’t feel their cars are disposable items. “Car awareness is different today,” founder Trevor Traina says. He quotes a statistic: 82 percent of people now intend to keep their cars longer than they
The child who said he had swine flu is identified as “Xavier O.” The complaint says he “has a Facebook account that was opened without the knowledge or consent of his parents.” He allegedly “uploaded personal information, videos and photographs, including swimming and/or partially clothed photographs of children ages 5 to 11.” It further says that he posted information that he had swine flu and asked people to “Please pray for me…God Bless.” The complaint says that “upon learning of the Fa

The new built-in Web browser is one feature addition that some may miss at first, but which is ultimately one of the most practical and useful for keeping the Facebook experience on iPhone firmly within the Facebook app. Before this integration, clicking a link would kick you out of the app and open a Safari browser. You would have to restart Facebook to resume your place.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the DS DoubleSys app was removed from the App Store. It seemed to me that it was just a little too similar to the Nintendo DS. And since it mimics the Nintendo DS’ operation, its menu, and even some of its sounds, I can only bet that Nintendo wasn’t happy with it.
Update at 1:53 p.m. PDT: The YouTube video ZM2 Dev used to promote the DS DoubleSys app has been removed from the video site. When users try to play the video, it displays a m
Today, the seedy side of the Internet comes in many different forms and from many different sources. Stop for a moment and think about the new places where malware might be buried, hidden, released, and shared–a legitimate site that’s been hacked, a bit.ly link on Twitter, or even an image on a Facebook friend’s page. Now, think about how many of these links you’ve clicked on from within the corporate network.
It’s a tool that gives companies the ability to monitor for unusua
The Windows operating system also faces competition from alternative platforms and new devices that may reduce consumer demand for traditional PCs. Competitors such as Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Opera Software Company offer software that competes with the Internet Explorer Web browsing capabilities of Windows products. User and usage volumes on mobile devices are increasing around the world relative to the PC. OEMs have been working to make the Google Android mobile operating syste
Asset allocation is the strategy an investor uses to choose specifically how to divide up capital among asset classes such as stocks, bonds, international stocks, international bonds, real-estate funds, leveraged buyouts (LBOs), venture capital, as well as other obscure classes such as timber funds.
Many people suggest that David Swensen at Yale was the original architect of a strategy to adopt a much higher allocation to alternative assets. Regardless of whether he was the
On a recent camping trip, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking we had a bear grunting just outside our tent; heart racing, I turned on my head lamp to investigate. Turns out my husband, who rarely snores, sounds like a bear when he does. I tossed and turned for an hour until finally shaking him awake to shut him up.

After further internal review today, the offer of a port-in service credit of $100 to new customers who buy the Palm Pre has been pulled because it was put into the system in error.
Sprint has since pulled the offer, saying the promotion was posted in error and issuing this statement:
Earlier on Tuesday, Sprint published an enticing deal to customers of competing carriers by offering a $100 service credit to anyone who bought a Palm Pre and ported his or her old n
“It is accepted that in the future this work can contribute to assemble prototypical structures of molecular systems and the idea is these circuits could have much lower power consumption and reduce fabrication costs,” said Gerhard Meyer, scientist, IBM Research, Zurich, in response to an e-mail query. “This is an important step, but one of many that will need to be achieved to build computing elements at the atomic scale. Techniques like self assembly might be used for manufacturing,” h
