The PayPal Sandbox is a place where you can test your shopping cart and other PayPal integrations in a realistic way, except that no money changes hands. This means you can test your PayPal processes in the Sandbox and know they will behave the same on the when you go live.

Finally! I've killed all the Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies on Facebook

By

For months I’ve been clicking IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE whenever I got a Facebook invite to “start biting chumps” through the Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies applications. I never saw the value of these apps so I never added them. But friends kept sending me invites over and over it really got on my nerves!

Block Facebook Vampires application

I don’t know how I didn’t notice this sooner! I’ve been such a blurcase! If you’re like me, here’s how to do it.

You’ll then experience the same happiness I felt when I saw the block confirmation box. Click Block and banish the application to the blocked application list for eternity!
