Comodo Firewall Pro, A Consumer Favorite, Powers Ahead Most Other Firewall Solutions In Downloads

Jersey City, NJ, July 11, 2008 - Comodo, a leading security company, recently announced that its Firewall Pro application continues to grow in popularity with consumers and Internet security industry experts which accounts for why tens of thousands of users every day are switching from other firewalls to Comodo Firewall Pro.

Google Finance to add more data to fight Yahoo, AOL

Google plans to expand its finance Web site by adding more historical data and company filings as it tries to gain ground on more-popular services from Yahoo and AOL. The company will also seek to improve its 2-year-old finance site by offering real-time stock prices from the New York Stock Exchange on a permanent basis after a four-month pilot started this week, said R.J. Pittman, director of product management. Google's finance pages had 2.07 million U.S. visitors last month, ranking 13th on researcher ComScore's list of top financial sites. The company plans to use its search technology to help users find data more efficiently, rather than adding editorial content to lure more users, Pittman said. Adding features such as up-to-the-minute stock quotes will help Google lure more visitors that may then visit the company's other sites, sai

ICANN Opens Door For Crazy Domain Names Like Crap.Crap

ICANN has just made a decision that goes beyond allowing .xxx to be a top level domain; they're allowing all words to be top level domains. That means you're going to see domains like fuck.shit, shit.shit, shit.fuck, whatisthisshit.fuck, and so forth. What's not allowed is domains that conflict with trademarks (.pepsi was the example), too similar to current top level domains, or names associated with countries or governments (juicy.turkey). Companies will also register their products and services, leading to really annoying domains like pleaseplayyour.ps3pleaseplease, or dontyouwantanother.ipod. Nice one, ICANN. Nice one. [USA Today]

But knowing some graphic design rules can help your designs even if you\'ve never taken any courses in design.

Nik Launches Silver Efex Pro B&W Conversion Software

Editor's Note: We recently saw a demo of the new Silver Efex Pro plug-in from Nik Software and left thinking -- why aren't there more professional B&W conversion plug-ins out there like this one? While there are some pretty decent B&W tools in Photoshop itself, we really liked what we saw from Silver Efex Pro, especially that it didn't sacrifice ease-of-use for control. Indeed, Nik's very helpful "U Point" technology is once again used in Silver Efex Pro, giving you many ways to selectively tweak tone and contrast in your images during B&W conversion.
