Amazon has a Google Adwords ad for HP Slate. When you actually go to the site, there is no HP Slate. It’s actually ads using Google’s Dynamic Keyword Insertion. Amazon, I’d start using negatives in your campaign.
The HP Slate is a tablet PC running Windows 7. The Slate is a competitor to the wildly popular Apple iPad. It is supposed to be running a 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor.

I recently got a question on how to make Firefox your default browser. There are 2 easy ways to do this. The first method involves using Firefox. You go to Tools –> Options.
Here you will see the options box pop up.
1) Click on the “Advanced” button
2) Then “General” tab
3) Then click on the “Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup”
4) Click the “check now” button”.
This is how you select Mozilla Firefox as your default browser using the Firefox interface.
The other way to make Firefox your default browser is through your Windows XP computer settings. Go to “Control Panel” and click on “Add or Remove Programs”.
Next click on “Set Program Access and Defaults” and choose “custom”.
Drop the menu down:
1) Look for “Choose a default Web browser”
2) Click on the “Mozilla Firefox” radio button
3) Click “Ok” button.
And that’s how your make Mozilla Firefox your default browser.
