Well, we managed to put together a wider version of CyberNet because it was requested by a few people. The content area is a little wider and the most obvious thing is that there are two sidebars. We aren’t going to clutter up the sidebars like a lot of sites do but it makes it easier to see things like the calendar that we just added. Pretty soon we’ll start adding a poll every week to the sidebar so that we can get our community involved and spark some fun discussions! 
We definitely took into consideration those people who are still using monitors with a resolution of 800 x 600 or lower. Those people will still be able to see all of the content perfectly without scrolling sideways but the last sidebar won’t be visible. In the last two months we have had over 500,000 visitors and only 2% of those visitors were using a resolution lower than 1024 x 768, so we thought we should expand the view a little so that the other 98% of you can enjoy the use of your full browser window.
We would definitely love to hear any feedback you may have regarding the new look so leave us a comment below. Thanks!

Casio is celebrating their Billionth calculator sold. That’s a lot of calculators! The very first calculator from Casio was their model 001. It went on sale way back in 1965. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t say WAY back in 65′, if you were born that year, you’re only 41. So, 41 years ago, the Casio model 001 sold for $2,200. That was a lot of money in 1965! They decided they’d celebrate a billion by releasing a list of their favorite words that can be written on the display and read when you turn the calculator upside down. The spokesman for Casio said, Everyone has fond memories of making rude and funny words on the display when they should really have been concentrating in class.” Boy, isn’t that true! Those were my exact thoughts when I saw they put together a list. So, here is Casio’s top 10:
Congrats Casio!
This isn’t technology news per se, but it’s definitely worth writing about. The question of the day is, how often should you change your oil? If you’re like us, you’ve always been lead to believe that it was a must to change the oil every three months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. Even when you go to get your oil changed somewhere, they usually put a sticker on your windshield with the date and/or mileage when you need to come back and it’s always 3,000 miles or 3 months. As it turns out,that “rule” is just a myth.
The message to auto-makers has been made clear – hybrid does matter and the more affordable, the better. With the unbelievable success of the Toyota Prius which has been labeled as the car that put hybrids on the map, other auto-makers have been looking to develop a car that can beat the success of the Prius, and become the “next big hybrid.” One of those auto-makers that is hoping to challenge Toyota’s Prius is Honda.
