Bullguard Internet Security 9.0 is the latest version of Bullguard’s well known internet security software. While I frequently write about free software options, Bullguard is one of the few paid apps I can definitely suggest. The price is about $60/year and the subscription is worth every penny. The latest version has a great new look with a new interface that’s simple, clean and easy to use. The main screen presents you with a number of icons – each of which allows you to perform a different security task with a simple click of your mouse.
The icons on the main screen are:
I’ve been a fan of Expedia as my source of travel information for quite a while, but recently I’ve become pretty impressed with updates to their iPhone application. The best feature of the newest version I believe is the TripAssist feature. The basic premise is that you can check all details of your itinerary and it will let you know where and when you’re to be somewhere within 24 hours of your trip. It tells you gates, times, has sliding screens that let you see each leg of your trip, what seats you can get, and best of all you don’t have to book through Expedia to use it! It is very easy to add trip information no matter where you booked.
It seems like I’ve been writing a lot of iPhone app posts lately. Probably because I have been. But I’ve had plenty of time to test some really neat free ones that I think you all will like. Check ‘em out and let me know what you think!!

My laptop went on the fritz this morning, so now I am looking at laptops online to find a good replacement. I hope to find a great laptop that is affordable but also offers a lot of the features I need to be productive.
laptoplogic.com offers great laptop reviews, so I have been checking this site out when I find a laptop I like on BestBuy.com and Amazon.com and vice-versa. Since I often try to buy laptops on clearance, because the price is a lot more reasonable, and because I do not need the top of the line, latest features that come on today’s laptops.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog review, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t let you guys know about Untwisted Vortex, written by RT.
I couldn’t tell you how I came across this site, but I am glad I did! There’s content for most of us out there, whether we are blogging for money or not. I enjoy RT’s writing style. He writes with passion, authority and humor – three things I think are most important when writing/blogging.
Rave reviews and complaints galore abound all over the blogosphere about Amazon’s Kindle, the new portable book reader, which only weights 10.3 ounces – far less than the weight of the three or four books I typically carry on vacations or even short trips across the state.
The Kindle’s price tag at $399 299 may seem steep for some – but once you consider that the price of Kindle’s book offerings average 50-65% off print prices, you’ll be able to purchase more books for the same price that you would have spent on “real” books! Additionally, there’s no cost for the wireless access!

I had a feeling that I should wait to do the review for WIN BIG with thepinkc contest winner Livewyre.NET. And lo and behold, there’s been a TOTAL revamp of this extremely helpful blog, including a new color scheme and great new graphics!

Linky Love has been one of my favorite “make money online” blogs since I started blogging seriously earlier this year! This site has been incredibly helpful as I’ve navigated the waters into blogging with PayPerPost and other monetization opportunities online.
While Linky, the author of Linky Love is not US based, their opinions on what is most important in the make money online arena are well respected by bloggers worldwide. Linky Love has seen some dramatic traffic increases, due to Linky’s tenaciousness and willingness to spread the knowledge about Link Love all around the world!
