The hugely (un)popular domain registrar, GoDaddy has been continuously bearing the brunt over the past few days for supporting Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill. They had to eventually withdraw the support amidst huge protests on the web, including threats (and actions) of moving away the domains away from GoDaddy.
Namecheap, who is one of the primary competitors of GoDaddy has now openly accused the latter of thwarting efforts to transfer domains away from them. On its face value, this looks like a very serious charge against GoDaddy and completely against the ICANN rules.

As the name suggests, Case-Mate's Barely There case is designed to please those who don't like to use a case but cannot afford to risk their valuable iPhones. As you cam see the image above, the iPhone 4S fits in really well into the case...

Laptops have now become the preferred computer choice for many. They are convenient and, of course, extremely portable, meaning computer work can be carried out in just about any setting the user may require.

An area that needs particular attention is the battery and this should be given due care and attention, making sure charging is carried out correctly using the appropriate charger. So before thinking about upgrading your current laptop, make sure you know how to care for the device's battery.
As with any other battery-operated device, the battery can always run down and this could eventually lead to the need to replace it. Not only is this going to be relatively expensive, but should a real battery problem occur in a remote location the impossibility of using your laptop could leave you extremely frustrated. Fortunately, there are things that can be done that will ensure the battery's life will be as long and productive as possible.
