Add a Stealth Mode Boss Button to Google Chrome


I just found out about a neat little application for people who have to spend one third of their weekdays stuck at the the office. If you have a job consider yourself lucky. But does the job have you? Do you have the boss looking over your shoulder when you would rather be shopping at Amazon or checking out the latest lol cats?

Getting Rid of Bed Bugs

Remove Bed Bugs Guide

Bedbugs (or bed bugs) are small, elusive, and parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae. They live strictly by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. The name ‘bed bug’ is derived from the insect’s preferred habitat infesting houses and especially beds or other common areas where people may sleep. Bedbugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts.

Largely eradicated as pests in the United States in the early 1940s, bedbugs have been resurgent in the past decade to near epidemic proportions.

Jumping on the Tablet Wagon

Apple sold more than 300,000 iPads on the tablet’s first day in stores, which roughly matched Wall Street forecasts and mirrored the iPhone’s debut in 2007. Analysts said many more companies were due to launch their own tablets shortly.

Green Tech Power

Green Tech power is the result of converting sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrating green power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. The green power gained from photovoltaics can be used to eliminate the need for purchased electricity (usually electricity gained from burning fossil fuels) or, if energy gained from photovoltaics exceeds the home’s requirements, the extra electricity can be sold back to the home’s supplier of energy, typically for credit.
