Get DVDs, CDs, and Video Games Inexpensively

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of iNetVideo. All opinions are 100% mine.

Looking for an online store to get very inexpensive DVDs, blu-ray movies, video games, music CDs, and more? iNetVideo is the place! They have a very good selection of stuff. I’m always looking for inexpensive music for the kids. iNetVideo has a good blend of a wide variety of stuff– movies and music– although I was disappointed that they don’t have Hillsong CDs. Oh well.

They do have loads of movies and blu-ray movies! As a matter of fact, iNetVideo is one of the largest providers of liquidated entertainment products. They have a lot of rare and old movies, too. Everything is very well-priced. They have the really old Bible Time classics, old Sesame Street shows, Old Time Comedy Classics, travel documentaries, etc. The PC, Xbox, and Playstation games are really inexpensive: Blues Clues, Civil War: Secrets of the North and South, LEGO Alpha Team, Sid Meyer’s Civilization (nice one!) and tons more. Prices are as low as $5 or so! iNetVideo also keeps a blog, showcasing movies and other news, and educating readers with their broad knowledge of the entertainment industry. They also feature a nice monthly giveaway of a blu-ray movie for readers.

See the site for more details. They have a lot of titles and the prices are phenomenal! They ship worldwide, too!

Dell Server Computers Shipped With Virus

That‘s gotta hurt.

Dell has inadvertently shipped replacement motherboards for its PowerEdge servers that are infected with the Spybot worm. The malware affects servers running Windows, but not other operating systems.

The worm can be triggered if users run an update to either the Unified Server Configurator (USC) or 32-bit Diagnostics on the server.

According to a Dell employee posting to the PowerEdge server support forum, “the W32.Spybot worm was discovered in flash storage on the motherboard during Dell testing.” The worm, which is not part of the firmware, can be blocked by “all industry-standard antivirus programs on the market today,” he said.

Did you notice that word “inadvertently” in the first sentence? No one “inadvertently” installs malware onto a motherboard. It is PLACED there. I’m not saying Dell did it. But SOMEONE surely did.

Dell is being rather secretive about how the malware got there, and is being criticized for taking slow action. Weird.

Everything But the…

… yeah, the kitchen sink. Actually, everything IS the kitchen sink here.

Sometimes it’s tough to find things online. I’m renovating my home and have been searching FOREVER for wallpaper stores online who sell a particular type of embossed wallpaper. And I don’t want to pay $50 per roll for it! I cannot BELIEVE that wallpaper would be more than FLOORING, for Pete’s sake….

Anyway, I’ve purchased my stove range hood online, my gas heaters online, etc etc. I even purchased my kitchen sink online! Yes, it’s possible! Sinks are actually a great product to buy online– many stores offer free shipping and delivery, which saves you money (as well as your back!). MR Direct is such a site. They specialize in offering beautiful and affordable kitchen sinks online. They also have faucets and other “sink” related products.

Always keep in mind the Internet when you are shopping. You can find phenomenal deals, and many times have the product delivered right to your door. Nice! :D

Fixing an Infected Computer

I’m horrified at the rampant spread of malware and viruses that are hitting computers. That junk used to be a threat for people who visited “seedy” websites, or who opened up email attachments (which I don’t). Now, your computer can get a viruses or trojan just by VISITING an infected website. Disgusting!

I found a good tip regarding removing infected PCs. I am of the sort who just wipes the hard drive clean and restarts from scratch, but some folks don’t want to do that. So AVG (who makes the AVG anti-virus software) has a program, a rescue program, that you can run from a CD. It’s here. Read the directions first– this program isn’t something you can run after you boot up your computer. You must burn it to a CD or USB flash drive, and run it from one of those. It’s a wonderful tool to have on hand– just in case.

Hat tip Kim Komando for the heads up about the AVG rescue CD! Thanks!

Well At Least They’d Pay You…

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nielsen Research. All opinions are 100% mine.

… and at least they TELL you they are monitoring your activity… unlike some OTHER gargauntuan googly companies who roam the streets harvesting your wireless data and storing it all in their databanks, who also *happen* to have close relationships with governmental and global “intelligence” agencies…

There’s a new app for Windows phones. It’s by the Nielsen Company. The Nielsen Company is, I think, the same company that monitors and provides viewer information for television, doesn’t it? You know– “7.2 million households watched this TV movie!!” Were you ever once of those people who asked, “How do they know that??”

Anyway, Nielsen is offering incentives to Windows phone users, so that Nielsen can monitor and measure your phone applications.

The measurement software allows us to measure the applications you use and websites you visit for the purpose of anonymous, aggregate measurement only. We will never report your individual usage and will never release your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Persons who opt in are eligible to receive a Windows $50 gift certificate after a year. Hmmm. Would you do it?

Neilsen says that the data that is gathered includes:

  • the type, name and use of apps on your phone
  • the url and content of the sites you visit
  • the date, time and duration of phone calls, texts, and calls and texts received (but no personal information about the calls)
  • phone battery information
  • Occasional detection of your location via GPS

Pretty remarkable, if you ask me. I wouldn’t do it. It’s *nice* that at LEAST you’re being ASKED if you want to be monitored, but it’s monitoring. How far will we go, selling our information? Check out the website, see what’s it’s all about. Would you do that? Do you think I’m making too big a deal from this?
