How Can I, A Teenager, Make Money Online Without Any Scams?

I’m 16 years old and I’m trying to earn money to buy a car and have money to go out and hang out with my friends during the summer. I currently have a job but it’s not that great because I don’t get enough hours and my pay is low. I like computers and I [...]

FillAnyPdf makes it easy to share forms and collect data online

Filed under: News, Web

FillAnyPDF is a free online, SSL encrypted PDF form editor that allows you to upload your PDF form so that others can fill it out and even sign it online. While it’s marketed as a replacement option to the fax, the appeal and practical uses are probably broader than that. Small business, [...]

Web and iPhone booty call app PinpointsX ‘points you to passion’

Filed under: Internet, Web services, web 2.0

I absolutely must preface this story by saying I do not own an iPhone. I have never used an unsecured cellular phone to arrange a booty call, and I always use cash.

With that out of the way, I give you PinpointsX. Before you get too excited, it seems [...]

When the new Windows “Select Your Web Browser” window — commonly known as the ballot screen — rolls out to European users at the beginning of March, they’ll be able to choose from five modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 8, and Opera.

Filed under: Business, Social Software, web 2.0

Facebook just acquired something called Octazen Solutions, a company that most people (myself included) had never heard of until yesterday.

Goodbye Google Gears, Hello HTML5

Filed under: Developer, Web services, Google

We already knew Google Gears was on its way out, but Google has now basically lowered the casket into the ground. Gears powered a bunch of web apps in its day, but now Google’s stopping work on it and switching to supporting its features natively in Chrome using HTML5 and [...]

YoxView is a stylish, free Javascript image gallery

Filed under: web 2.0

This one’s for the web developers: JS “lightbox” galleries are a dime a dozen these days. Do we really need another one? After looking at YoxView, I think it’s definitely a worthy contender in this crowded niche.

YoxView has the usual lightbox effect but adds a few bells and whistles such as [...]

NetFront, Opera web browsers for Google Android on the way

Filed under: Browsers, Mobile, Android

Mozilla isn’t the only company itching to port its web browser to run on Google’s Android operating system. Google announced recently that 60,000 handsets a day are now shipping with Android, and it seems like every day a device maker announces a new Android-based product. So while the WebKit-based browser that [...]

BlackBerry shows off its new WebKit-based browser

Filed under: BlackBerry, Browsers, Mobile

Mobile browsers have come a long way in the past few years. The days of stripped down WAP pages that make the web look like it did in 1994 are all but gone. Now you can use an iPhone, Android handset, or Windows Mobile device to view full web pages much [...]
