Booble.com Gets Denied by CBS

By Ian Bell January 29, 2007

What do you do when your adult website gets turned down from advertising on national television – the Super Bowl to be exact? Send out a press release.

Booble.com (we will refrain from linking to the site for obvious reasons), an adult search engine had offered CBS $50 million at one point to advertise during the Super Bowl, one of the most sought-after programs on TV. CBS didn’t even call the company back after the ridiculous offer.

Booble claims that their commercial is far "tamer" than the GoDaddy add which ran in 2005, and says their commercial is pretty funny (which Super Bowl ads are not?) and features a woman catching her husband trying to secretly check out a few adult sites (I don’t think many wives would think that’s funny, would yours?). Booble credits the tight commercial restrictions to the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" a few years ago. We think it has something to do with them being an adult website…

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?

The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
