One stop online TV guide

Ever wonder how to check TV guide from one place.? Gone are the days where we search TV guide from newspaper or the channel's own website or we watch TV presenter tannouce what is the TV listing for today.

Some of you might already heard about TVguide.com before. As what it names suggested, it is online TV guide which listing all Tv listing depend on your location. Unfortunately Malaysia(and any Asian country) is not yet listed there. For US residents, they will be able to get the listing with 2 simple steps. Enter your zip code and choose your channel and you are there. For international, as at now, there are 26 countries listed there

Looking at their TV listing i have a feeling that how interesting are there with a lot of movies, tv series, documentaries as well as news.

I manage to view what this site Google Video, Yahoo Video, AOL Video, Blinkx, Dabble, Channels.com. has offered, but it seems like they are mostly to video searching (which TVguide is about to launch). The do provide it, but it is more toward to play list rather that TV listing.

The 10 Worst PCs of All Time

After polling PC World editors, past and present, debating the demerits of all the systems that gave the magazines readers and reviewers problems and settling on the criteria for making the list – only desktops; systems that were actually shipped to customers; and no systems that had already been repeatedly bashed over the years – PC World has released its list of the 10 Worst PCs of All Time.

The list include some of the big names in industry such as IBM, Apple and Dell with the compiled PC manufactured as early as 1979. Don't be surprised to found unfamiliar brand names such as Mattel Barbie in the lists

The good thing is that no more PC made after 2003 listed. The manufacturers nowadays are more concern on the quality of the product as well as the demanding users which can cause the company on the downside of PC industry.
