So here’s another number for you filed under ‘scams’ but I’m not sure I would call it a scam actually, well no I would as it is the Republican Party.

Yep the number is for the Republican party calling to poll you.

I find it utterly amazing that politics are exempt from the Do Not Call List. They can call you whenever they want and however many times they want. I’ve gotten five calls in one day from the same number, starting at 8am.. It’s just sickening really…

Here’s another scammy telephone number to add to the list.

I am on both Do Not Call lists for federal and state, but yet I still get these people calling.

This number is for Premier Energy, a scam company trying to get you to switch electric companies. This company was originally Premier Nursing Products Corp and supposedly sold products for nursing mothers now they’re in the oil and gas business. I’d say that’s a hell of a leap to go there…

I’ve read other complaints from people who have had this company call and actually claim they are from another electric company and ask for their account number and bank account number?!

It’s just a scam, don’t answer the phone, block the number and report them and maybe something will happen if enough people complain.

What You Can Do with Network Attached Storage Media?

syno8

I love NAS boxes, I find them extremely useful so I thought maybe I’d do a quick article about them and their usefulness and I guess file it under How-To…

A network attached storage device is not a simple file server. It breathes life into your business operations. There are several tasks which can be efficiently performed by a NAS drive like sharing data between multiple platforms, offering fast and efficient data communication, streaming audio and video and automatically backing up your essential data. There is a rapid increase in the sales of network drives in recent times, owing to these amazing features. If you own a NAS drive or intending to purchase one, it is important to know all the features offered by a network drive. Here are some of the things you can do with a network attached storage drive.

Automatic backup

A NAS drive offers the most efficient method to backup your essential data. With multiple hard drives configured with RAID0 or RAID1, you can secure your data and retrieve it at a faster pace. The majority of these NAS drives come with an automatic backup feature, enabling you to securely backup your data for longer durations.

Centralization of data

The most striking feature of a NAS drive is its ability to centralize the data. As the drive is connected to a network with a separate IP address, every device within that network can access the drive with ease. The centralization of data enables you to optimize your work space while increasing the efficiency of your business procedures. In addition, data is transferred between multiple platforms without technical hassles, saving huge amounts on infrastructure.

Streaming media

A NAS drive is not only intended for work procedures. You can now enjoy endless streaming audio and video to relax your mind from hectic work schedules. The NAS drive acts as a media server to share audio and video files in a streaming format. Now, you can enjoy uninterrupted movies and live music round the clock. The important benefit offered by this media server is that it can be accessed from any device while your computer is shut off. In addition, you can synchronize data between two different computers using a NAS drive.

Remote data access

With a network attached storage drive, it is now possible to access the data even when you are offline. Using an internet web browser, you can connect to the network drive and access the required data with ease. While you take care of your daily activities, your business tasks are not interrupted.

Computer manufacturer and retailer Dell provide a range of computing solutions, from laptops, desktops and tablets, to nas drive storage solutions. Visit www.dell.com for more details.

" Up for review today I’ve got a monitor from our friends at Geeks.com, but it’s not just any monitor this is an IPS monitor! if you don’t know anything about monitors, then let me tell you that IPS is a very good thing when it comes to LCD display. The monitor I have for review is the LG IPS236V which is a 23” sized monitor that has HDMI, DVI and VGA inputs on it so you’ve got connection choices. This monitor provides excellent color reproduction and extreme viewing angles with little to no distortion. It’s a great monitor for everything you do, no matter if it’s gaming, watching HD movies or just browsing the web, things will most certainly look better on the LG IPS236V! "

Arcadie Retro Gaming Console for iDevices Review

Another review by me on TestFreaks…

" When I was young I remember actually going to the arcade where they had full sized arcade machines for you to play. These days they don’t exist anymore, except for limited places like Dave and Busters, and that’s really only for adults considering how much alcohol is consumed there. That’s here in the United States of course, I know in other countries arcades are still popular and going strong. For children there really aren’t arcades anymore and there really isn’t a need for them considering we have consoles in our homes and portable gaming everywhere which is a lot cheaper than pumping quarters into machines for hours per day. Today for review I’ve got something that will help bring back that arcade feel, at least in small scale. The product is the Arcadie Retro Gaming Console that can be used with your iPod Touch or iPhone turning it into basically an arcade machine. I’ve been playing with it for quite a while and thoroughly enjoying myself while doing it. So read on to learn more about it.."

Xclio Touch 787 Full Tower Case Review

xclio-touch-787-full-tower-case-review

Yep, another review by me…

Review Link:  http://www.dragonsteelmods.com/xclio-touch-787-full-tower-case-review/

Review Snipit:
" Holy fans Batman! That’s the first thing I thought when I opened the box and started to examine the case I have for review today. The Xclio Touch 787 Full Tower Chassis features ten, yes that’s 10, 120mm fans pre-installed for you. I’m thinking that’s more than enough to keep any system running cool no matter how many video cards and hard drives and whatever else you’ve got inside. The amount of fans could be considered a feature yes, but the Touch 787 also has a built-in touch panel for controlling all of those fans which is great because ten fans can get kind of loud. The Touch 787 also has a very unique hard drive mounting system, and plenty of room inside for even the largest video cards."
