If you’ve logged into your Google Adwords account lately and attempted to use the Adwords keyword research tool, then you’ve probably seen the recent alert message at the top of your account notifying you that the Keyword Tool will no longer be available within the next few months. Instead, it’s being replaced with what Google has deemed the “Keyword Planner”. The warning message seems a bit ominous, and reactions across the Internet are a bit mixed. Some folks have erroneously claimed that local traffic data has “disappeared”, while others say that the new interface makes the search process much more intuitive. In reality, there isn’t really enough that’s different in the new Google Keyword Planner to justify giving it a brand new name. On the other hand, there are a few cool new features that are worth mentioning. The key differences between Google Adwords Keyword Tool and Keyword Planner includes a more organized workflow for researching adwords and keywords, a clea

Chrome’s new tab page is serviceable, but a bit boring. Whether you’re looking for a nice background for your new tab page or want to easily create your own visual bookmarks, add custom widgets, and view live information such as the weather or updates from your social networks, we’ve got a list of ways to make Chrome’s new tab page your own. Unfortunately, many new tab page replacements don’t have the useful “Recently closed” and “Other devices” options that appear at the bottom of Chrome’s default new tab page, allowing you to reopen closed tabs and open tabs from other devices you’re signed into Chrome on. To reopen a closed tab without using this menu, you can always  press Ctrl+Shift+T . Install Chrome Themes If you just want a new background, install one of the  themes for Google Chrome  from the Chrome Web Store. You can also create your own Chrome themes with Google’s  My Chrome Theme app . Themes can add backgrounds to your new tab page, giving it more color and person

Applications are taking ever more to the web. It’s a smart move. Not everyone has a MacBook or a Windows laptop, but nearly everyone has access to a decent web browser. Make your application with a blend of PHP, Javascript, HTML, CSS and MySQL instead of Java and C(++) and suddenly almost every device is a compatible device. You can learn about PHP like any other language. Jack Cola compiled a list of free sites to learn about programming in PHP. In addition, if you like to play with the language while you learn (you should), you’ll need a PHP server that’s able to parse your code. One option is to get an account at a web host. You’d use an FTP client like FileZilla or FireFTP to transfer the PHP files to your server. The better option (during development) is to host your own PHP server. Hosting your own PHP server has two main advantages. First of all you can host it locally so you don’t need to bother with transferring your files and only need to refresh the page in your browse

The living room game console has become a central media hub for many, which can mean large movie downloads. Despite all the controversy surrounding DRM, digital game downloads have finally arrived too – nowadays, you can download premium AAA titles on launch day without having to wait for a piece of plastic to arrive in the mail. And if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you have gigabytes of new games literally thrown at you every month. On environmental grounds, I couldn’t be happier about the move to digital – but it means local storage needs are growing rapidly. The days of having a slot-in memory cartridge are far gone – a few hundred gigabytes would be modest by today’s standards. Let’s upgrade. Luckily, Sony made it really easy and user-serviceable to upgrade the internal storage drive – unlike Microsoft, who locked it down and demanded you buy first-party approved models only. Upgrading your PS3 drive will not void the warranty. Why Upgrade? I recently bought a ne

Domain Name buying and selling is one of those things that many people don’t even realize is an activity that goes on, yet there are a surprising number of entrepreneurs out there that are making a tidy profit from domains within that online marketplace. All you have to do is browse the list of top 100 domain name sales on  DN Journal  to realize just how much money is at stake here. Domain names can sell for anything from a few hundred dollars, to tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. There are even sales in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in some unique cases. The real valuation of a domain name comes from a number of factors, and by understanding those factors, you can increase the value of your domain before you make the move to sell it. A lot depends upon where you are in the process as well. If you haven’t even bought a domain name yet, and are just thinking about getting into the business of buying and selling domains, then you’re in an ideal situation. There’s
