adBrite to cease operations on Feb 1

logo_rgb_on_white

Yesterday many received the following e-mail from adBrite.

Dear adBrite Publisher,

Over the last few weeks, adBrite and its management have been evaluating the go-forward plan for the business. Given market conditions and certain financial liabilities, in working with our lenders, we have decided to cease operations on Feb 1, 2013.
This is a difficult decision for all of us at adBrite. However, after much deliberation this seems to be the best course of action despite the impact it will have on all the employees, clients and partners who helped build this business. There will be a team in place as needed to assist with winding down.  

Thank you for being part of the adBrite community.

The adBrite Team

with adBrite closing down their operations publishers all over the web are scrambling to fine new advertising.

Who will you switch to?

Source: Engadget & Nvidia

imagesNVIDIA wants to tweak gaming performance through its GeForce Experience software. Nvidia has had the new software in testing for over a month now. If you have been curious what it’s all about, then there is some great news as that the company just recently opened the beta program to all of us.

Along with bringing faster and better-looking graphics to the PC gaming masses, the public version widens the optimizations to include Core 2 processors, 2,560 x 1,440 displays and games like Far Cry 3 and Mechwarrior Online.

It’s not yet clear when Nvidia will have the new software completed but with the advantages this could bring to gaming it’s going to me interesting to see what they have up their sleeves. If you are interested in downloading this beta CLICK HERE!

If you are reading this today (January 11th, 2013) then you are one of the lucky ones! For most of today Godaddy’s Service has not been performing. Geek-Weekly and my other sites are loading (when they load) at a crawl.

At the moment Godaddy is experiencing a massive outage that is affecting hosted sites, services and mail for many of their users.

 

UPDATE: It looks like Godaddy is getting back to their standard speeds so that tells us that the challenges they were having with their servers is just about under control. As of 5:20PM EST on 1/12/13 they still had the alert on their support page.

Apple Maps

What is more delicious then a new Apple product? I will tell you, it’s a new product and a new app with the promise of all the Apple goodness. Good job Apple! Your cult like followers are still driving around looking for their destination but if you ask them there is nothing wrong. I would like to know where your brain wash app is saved. All that aside it’s good for the big dogs to take a hit from time to time. Let’s face it no one is perfect.
