			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amazons hottest product this christmas is its Kindle and Kindle DX and so to make us buy it they are offering a $100 off coupon but only for special customers like sweethacks.com visitors.</p>
<p>Should you wish to purchase the kindle or kindle dx $100 off its RRP then do the following (to the letter!):</p>
<p>1) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_7876782_3?ie=UTF8&#038;docId=1000013251&#038;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&#038;pf_rd_s=top-2&#038;pf_rd_r=1AZ8JX8CJ2AY9Y0VD0K9&#038;pf_rd_t=301&#038;pf_rd_p=461872701&#038;pf_rd_i=audible">Click here</a> to go to page on amazon about the offer.<br />
2) Click link to Audible through the above page.<br />
3) Upon payment of $14.95 to Audible.com, you will get the discount/coupon code in your email.<br />
4) <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015T963C?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=sweethacks-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B0015T963C">Return to amazon kindle page by clicking here.</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sweethacks-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B0015T963C" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> and purchase kindle while APPLYING your code/coupon/voucher.</p>
<p>
As stated from Amazon:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Save $100 on any of these AudibleReady® products when you agree to join Audible.com’s AudibleListener® Gold plan for 12 months at $14.95/month. If the product or accessory that you choose is less than $100, you will receive the product for free.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>They want you to keep your 12 months subscription but I reckon after 1-2 months you should not need to be subscribed no more although you do get a free audio book every month from audible.com<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people have been asking me as to regarding the ability on how to create playstation 3 backups so they may play their own copies (of their games). We had a previous tutorial (click here) that showed you how exactly to create ps3 backups but that seems to no longer be working I am afraid.</p>
<p>After much snooping around (hey, I dont own an PS3 myself) I have found that it is currently impossible to create a Playstation 3 (PS3) backup with conventional methods. However, having said that, there are forums which where developers have met to be able to produce hacks suitable of bringing the PS3 to its knees. The moment we get more info regarding the matter we will post about it.<br />
<center><br />
</p>

See below for details.)" border="0"></a></td>

In the meanwhile there are plenty of other things that would keep you interested in your playstation 3 irregardless of backups etc. Check out <a href="http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-hacks/" rel="nofollow"> PS3 NEWs forums</a></p>
<p>Keep it Real.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense#Square-->Although I bought my smartphone six months ago, it’s only now that I’m actually beginning to discover the possibilities it holds. I was recently introduced to Google Maps by a friend, and using Latitude, we were able to track each other when we both visited New York City on different assignments. It made it much easier for us to coordinate a meeting, seeing as we could stop at a location mutually close to both of us. </p>
<p>As far as I know, Latitude works on phones that run Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms, on most BlackBerries that support color, and of course, on Google’s own G1. But the surprising fact is that it is not supported on the iPhone. Well, there are other applications that allow you to track the movements of people using their mobile phones, but there are reasons why Latitude scores above them all:</p>
<blockquote>
<li>First, it allows you to protect your privacy by being an opt-in service where you invite the people you want to track your whereabouts. </li>
<p></p>
<li>You can stop sharing information any time you want. </li>
<p></p>
<li>You can share only information that you think is necessary, like the city you’re in or the general area, without getting too specific. </li>
<p></p>
<li>You can also fudge your whereabouts by entering a manual location, depending on your mood or situation. </li>
<p></p>
<li>You can keep sharing your location even when you exit Google Maps and Latitude </li>
<p></p>
<li>If your phone supports GPS, you can find directions from your location to your preferred destination. In fact, the directions are pretty precise and allow you to choose your method of travel, vehicle or on foot. </li>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, there are a few aspects that are not-so favorable as many people have pointed out, but in my book, they’re actually blessings in disguise. For example, I’ve had friends complain that my actual location was not very accurate. This is perfectly fine with me, because I do find it a bit creepy that people know exactly where I am at all times, even though I did volunteer to share the information. A mile or two off is not going to hurt anyone, is it? And if people really need to know where you are, they can always pick up the phone and call! After all, wasn’t that what they used to do before Google Maps and Latitude came into existence? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense#Square-->We all have Personal Computers at home that we use everyday whether it be for gaming or for work but what we experience most the time is not the perfect operation/functionality of the software we run simply because of the components the Personal Computer consists of.</p>
<p>Being a gamer myself, I find it critical to own a personal computer which can run fast and play games at the highest/fullest capability. You may play a fast paced game which requires high graphics and where split second decision could decide the outcome, i.e a victory or defeat. However, if your computer isn’t up to par, all is lost. A gamer is only as good as his/her computer, and if the computer is sh*t then you too my friend are the same.</p>

<p>You must note that <a href="http://www.cryopc.co.uk/custom_gaming_pc.htm">gaming pc</a>s  are built to process huge amounts of information while playing online role–playing games or first–person shooters. These power PCs (<a href="http://www.cryopc.co.uk">gaming pc</a>s) come with high–end graphics cards, lighting fast CPUs and even liquid cooling. Usually such a computer can cost a lot, especially when brought from the already well known manufacturers out there.</p>
<p>Cryo Performance Computing, however, a new small business based in the United Kingdom offer fantastic computers, especially gaming pc&#8217;s which are designed to handle games at the highest level. What you must think is price to value -whenever you are buying a computer. This is essential as you do not want to pay too much if you can get it cheaper elsewhere. Cryo seem to have found the right balance between price and value, especially when you check out their <a href="http://www.cryopc.co.uk">custom pc</a>&#8217;s available for sale.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin: 3px;"><img src="http://www.malispace.com/files/a0drpik8x069ssbbq40m.jpg" width="300" alt="Cryo Octane" /></div>
<p>Take for example the &#8220;Cryo Octane&#8221; PC they offer;</p>
<blockquote><p>The Cryo Octane is THE new number cruncher with eight (&#8216;Octa&#8217;) cores and Intels new 5400 Skulltrail chipset it supports both nVidia SLI and ATI Crossfire multi GPU card technologies.  Realising that anyone after a beast like this wants the best from every component we&#8217;ve also included a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) with 3Gb bandwidth point-to-point bus its the fastest IO you can get and previously was only possible with enterprise level investments in storage arrays.  This enables us to use enterprise class 15K rpm drives in the array offering the fastest desktop storage ever made available.</p></blockquote>
<p>The price ranges from £1000 &#8211; £4950 which I think is cheaper than if you where to buy similar specs elsewhere. I know £4950 is not enticing in terms of price but I would doubt you would need that particular specification to make a personal computer that powerful. If you can afford it then why not, if you cant then you can always change things such as the RAM or processor. Infact you could go for another whole option such as the <a href="http://www.cryopc.co.uk/cryo_quad.htm">Cryo Quad</a> or the <a href="http://www.cryopc.co.uk/cryo_extreme.htm">Cryo Extreme</a>.</p>
<p>From Gaming PC Review 2009:</p>
<p>Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate gaming PCs.</p>
<p><strong>Processor</strong> – A fast CPU, or processor, will prevent lags in large or complex games like first person shooters or MMORPGs (massively multi–player online role–playing games). Some systems have dual core processors for hard–core gaming.</p>
<p><strong>Memory</strong> – A large memory allows the computer to quickly access frequently used information or programs. This is critical for gaming. A gaming PC should have between one and two GB of RAM memory and a sufficient hard drive.</p>
<p><strong>Video/Audio</strong> – A game is only as good as the graphics card supporting it. Many games have life–like, real–time images that require a high–end graphics card. Most computer manufacturers allow you to upgrade your graphics card. The sound should be a clear as the image.</p>
<p><strong>I/O Device</strong> – Some computers come with various peripherals including a mouse, keyboard, speakers and a monitor while others don’t. This may or may not be important depending on the buyer. Additionally, some gaming systems come with uniquely designed towers with sleek cases and neon lights.</p>
<p><strong>Value/Price</strong> – In this review, we looked for computers under $2000. The leading companies are value oriented—providing a lot of computer for a good price.</p>
<p><strong>Support/Warranty</strong> – The first–class manufacturers provide quality help and support through email, phone and online chat. They also provide practical warranties at no additional cost.</p>
<p>The essential point is that you find the <strong>best value for money</strong>. Cryo offers you support via phone and email so that you are happy before you purchase. Furthermore, there is after support which I believe to be essential, especially if you are not a &#8220;tech wiz&#8221; yourself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense#Square-->Ok, so most of the readers of SweetHacks run Windows as their OS (Operating System). Therefore what I have done is prepare a 10 part series of programs which I recommend you should install as they would probably help you with your everyday use of your PC/Laptop.</p>
<p>Today &#8211; Part 1 &#8211; We focus on: <strong>File Shredder</strong></p>
<p>As a everyday user of the internet you may find that you tend to download work or store important information such as your assignment or credit card. Yes, you can delete everything by just clicking the delete button but what you dont know if its been deleted successfully, by this I mean a clean deletion of the face of the earth&#8230;well the computer <img src='http://www.sweethacks.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Example: You might have seen people on the TV having their computers seized and files recovered even though they might have tried to conceal information, delete it OR even try to curropt their HDD. This is because there are quite a few software tools today for retrieval of deleted files under Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as &#8220;file recovery&#8221; software, are taking advantage of shortcoming of WIndows &#8220;delete&#8221; command that we all use regularly to delete files. Actually, the &#8220;delete&#8221; operation in Windows only removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy to retrieve those files using aforementioned specialized file recovery software. </p>
<p>To put this short &#8211; The delete button just hides most of the file and does not actually delete it.</p>
<div style="float: right; margin: 3px;"><img src="http://www.malispace.com/files/tvo3686lymn5yxgk1rxf.jpg" alt="file shredder" /></div>
<p>To get rid of this problem what we can do is download this program where we can actually delete files from our hard drives permanently. <a href="http://www.fileshredder.org/">File Shredder</a> has been developed as fast, safe and reliable tool to shred company files. The author of this program released it free under GNU licence and you are welcome to download File Shredder and use it without any restrictions.</p>
<p>File Shredder is simple but powerful program that surpasses manu commercial file shredders out there. The Author believes that such a utility should be available to anyone for free and that permanent and safe removal of confidential documents is a matter of basic right to privacy. </p>
<p>This is a must download application especially if you keep sensitive files on your computer which you must remove.</p>
