While checking JJ’s blog and her RSS problem, I stumbled about a trick to get some detailed statistics on about any FeedBurner feed as long as they have the FeedCount service activated.

This is useful if you want to find out a blog’s RSS subscriber count (if they really have guzzillions subscribers as they say).

For starters, you should know that the name of the FeedBurner feed is generally written after the slash. On my blog for example, the URL of the FeedBurner feed is feeds.feedburner.com/Lloydlopez wherein Lloydlopez is the feedname.

If you have a new computer and currently looking for a good Anti-virus solution but doesn’t want to shell out some cash then this is for you. Computer Associates is giving a 1 year FREE trial for their Anti-virus product and from what I read they do this from time to time so I would suggest that you grab a copy while it’s still available.

You need to register first and CA will automatically sends you an email with the download link. You can fill up the form and wait for the email confirmation.

The CA Anti-virus installation file is approximately 10mb in size so it will only take a few minutes to download on a high speed Internet connection.  On a side note, if you want to test out how good CA scanning is then you might check out my previous post about FREE online Anti-virus scanners.

I just love free stuff on the net… well, who doesn’t?

Just less than two hours from now, another much awaited fight between two great fighters, dubbed as the “Lethal Combination“, Manny Pacquiao will battle it out with the Mexican - American David Diaz.

If Pacquiao wins this match then it will go down in the history books as he will be the first Asian to hold four world crowns in four weight division as well the first Filipino to reign in the 135-pound class.

Preliminary fights will start at 8PM EST / 5PM PST (8AM PH time) and the main match should be starting after 2 hours or so. I’ll be watching it live again for FREE as usual.

I have read a lot of reviews from different products from different people. Some are very informative while some are pretty biased but from time to time, you’ll find something that will make you smile. Now keep in mind that this is an actual review from a user of Amazon.com about Ubuntu.

By Ernesto Granillo III (Riverside, CA USA)

I have been using computers for well over 4 years now and can say that this was one of the worst games I had ever purchased. For one, in order to even install the game you have to completely ERASE ALL YOUR DATA! I did not know this when I installed and lost almost all of my hotmail messages. Second, I was really suprised that this did not run on my wife’s apple macintosh. In this day and age, is it really acceptable that software only run on dell computers, but not on apple or even IBM’s? Well, I always try to look at the glass half full, so I continued installed and found that not only had my start menu had moved to the top, but all my programs had been moved around. I couldn’t even find the “Notepad” word processor. I finnally gave up when I couldn’t find limewire or internet explorer installed anywhere, so I gave up and threw my computer away and bought a brand new laptop instead.

A very unique review from a guy with “well over 4 years” of using computers wouldn’t you say? I’m not sure if this person is really serious about his review but one thing is for sure, this is one of the funniest review I stumbled on the net.

With the anticipated release of Firefox 3 this June, the Firefox community have set an initiative to get a new Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours.

There’s no actual date yet on the release of Mozilla’s new version of its flagship browser but you have the option to be automatically notified through email one it has become available to the general public. With Mozilla releasing Firefox 3 Release Candidate 2, the final version should be out in the next couple of days.

As of the moment, over 800,000 people have already pledge their support and the numbers is increasing by the hour. So far, the US is in the lead while the Philippines have garnered more than 5,000 pledges from people who will support this event.
