How to ship things to Jamaica after you’ve purchased them online

If you’ve read my article How to use Scotia VISA Debit Card Online on shopping online with your Scotia VISA Debit Card or Credit Card, you must have concluded I’m Paranoid. Trust me, I’m beyond paranoid. I’m PETRIFIED of the Internet and the propensity for people to steal your personal information when using a computer, ESPECIALLY your Scotia VISA Debit Card or Credit Card . Especially if you’re using your Scotia VISA Debit Card or Credit Card in an Internet Café, where someone can install a Keylogger software and steal not only your Credit Card but also your Passwords according to Dr Marc Gercke, an International Cybercrimes Expert. Basically, they can use that information to scam you for money or just simply use your Credit Card to shop online, both abroad and here in Jamaica, as onl...

Google Drive, the Dropbox clone, now ups the ante to 15GB of Free Storage during Google I/O

Remember Google Drive? If you have a Gmail account (I do!) you’d notice every time you login there’s an option at the top of your page to select Google Drive. Now they’ve decided during Google I/O that started on Wednesday May 15th 2013, their pow-wow of all that’s great about Google to upps the ante on Dropbox and increased the Free Storage from 5GB to 15GB. Google Drive is Google’s clone of Dropbox that launched on Tuesday April 24th 2012 as reported by Kelroy in Google Drive launches – Another major player joins the Cloud Storage Wars.

Exploring the Path of Exile beta

Path of Exile is an action role-playing game from Grinding Gear Games set in a dark fantasy world. It popped unto my radar because many were calling it the spiritual successor to Diablo II, a game that sucked away dozens of hours of my life back when it was released. The open beta for Path of Exile started in late January and from following the media and news releases I was intrigued enough download and try the game and I do not regret doing so. Path of Exile is free-to-play but has excellent graphics and hack and slash gameplay that coupled with a unique gem based ability system is an interesting online game. The player takes control of one of six "Exiles" (hence the name) - a witch, marauder, ranger, duelist, shadow and my favorite a templar. The classes focus one or two of 3 main sta...
