My New Android Gadget – HTC Hero
Posted: December 29th, 09 Categories: Tech & Gadgets
Got HTC Hero from Telus for $49.99
I was waiting for the Motorola Milestone/Droid and HTC Dragon/Passion to come to Canada. But I can't wait any longer. I finally decided to go with my favorite HTC Hero from Telus. I've been using Telus for about 3years. Just when I had enough of Telus's CDMA network, they introduced New HSPA+ 3G Network. Just recently they dropped HTC Hero's price to $49.99 with a 3-year contract.
I actually bought it from Black's which is a Photography store and just start selling Telus cellphones recently. After I signed a 3-year contract with them, they gave me a free 100 photo prints card and a Sony digital Photo Frame. Pretty good deal uh?

Public DNS or OpenDNS? Namebench Finds the Fastest DNS Server

Namebench finds the Fastest DNS Server
DNS stands for Domain Name System. It translates computer hostnames such as www.example.com into IP addresses like 208.77.188.166. ISPs and many online services offer DNS service for consumers. For example, OpenDNS is one of the services that offers features like phishing filter, domain blocking and typo correction. Just this month, Google released its own DNS service Google Public DNS which claims performance and security advantages.
If you are a geek/power-user, or someone simply want to get a faster internet experience? Setting up a DNS will do it, but depending on your location the Fastest DNS for me may not be fast on your computer. Namebench is a free open-source benchmark software that will find the Fastest DNS Server for you. [Mac OS X, Windows, and UNIX]
