There's been some speculation about this, and the general consensus is if this happened, other countries would end up creating their own 'internets', resulting in a fragmented mess. As for the future, brain implants are what will really change things. You won't need phones, or Google Glass...

I have an old laptop that's still working and fine to use, but it's... well, old. hehe. I use it to experiment with, for example loading different flavors of Linux on. I've been thinking of making it a server for our home network recently too. Broken laptops, assuming they're old like you...

You can install some popular (free) forums via your Control panel on any standard host. It's pretty much a one click (okay, maybe three click) process, and the forum will be automatically setup, including the database. The two most common free forum types are SMF (Simple Machines Forum) and...

There are many packages available for making an e-commerce site. I've been looking for a new one myself recently, and though I haven't tried it yet, this one seems a likely candidate. And it's free too. Whilst you can use WP for a store, I've tried this, I think it's better to use dedicated...

I also stopped buying paper books a long time ago. Admittedly part of the reason for this is that I live in China, and English novels aren't easy to come by here, but I love the convenience of being able to carry a library around on my phone/lap-pad and read anytime I have a free/quiet moment...

Surely this is not the case anymore, with the retina display and iPad mini? The old iOS isnt' fragmented argument no longer applies. OT: I far prefer Android devices, they're just more open. I like a phone that has widgets, a removable battery*, SD card*, USB port and isn't locked down...

I didn't do this on my HTC Desire HD, but I have done it on my Note II, as the effort involved wasn't too great. Works well too, apart from stopping over the air updates. However, it's easy enough to un-root to get those, so if and when...

I have set up one or two sites that use Paypal, and generally the software is fairly easy to get going. For the ones I've done so far I've just had to add an payment email to Paypal and click a few options.

MMm, not tried NC before, I may have to go and have a look at them. Mind you, it's a pain in the bottom to transfer domains, and I've a lot with GD, so I may end up sticking with them, to avoid extra hassle.

I think you need to find places where people who will like your forum hang out, and try and let them know about it. I started a story/writing forum, and back then Bebo had a writing area, so I splashed the name of my forum all around there (Welcome To Tome City! hehe), and slowly managed to get...

OOh, Prestashop looks interesting. I'm looking for some ecommerce software myself, one that can support multiple sellers preferably. I may give Presa a tryout.

Anyone know of any good cheap (preferably free) e-mall software? I'm looking to replace my current small ebook site with something that works properly!! I paid for the current one, but the support is severely lacking, and I'm looking for something else.

I use Wordpress on a self hosted site for my blogs. I believe Blogger is quite Wordpress-like in use though. However, I don't like their restrictions, and Blogger is also blocked in China, where I live, so that's a bit of a nono too.

Interesting. I'm with a small host at the moment, which is fine apart from their technical support, which is highly limited. As a result I'm thinking of moving, but want something on a budget. I'll check this out.

I use GD to buy my domain names, but don't host anything with them. The reason I buy from them is because, generally speaking, they're the cheapest. Also they send me multiple reminders about expiring domain names, something which a previous company didn't which resulted in my losing one of my...

I was on Justhost for maybe a year or two. I had a shared server package which was unlimited bandwidth and disk use for about 5USD a month. For the most part I was very happy with them, their customer service was prompt and they met my hosting needs. However, every now and again they'd...
