"In conjunction with the launch of the Core i3/i5 Clarkdale
processors last month, Intel introduced the H55 and H57 Chipsets. The
Intel H55 Express Chipset is designed for use with these new processors
and Core i7 800 series CPUs. The H55 is compatible with the HD graphics
found embedded onto the new Clarkdale CPUs as well as the PCI Express
2.0 slots and dual channel DDR3 memory controller provided by the CPU
itself, while the chipset itself provides support for the digital
displays, HD audio, six PCI Express x1 slots, Serial ATA, Gigabit LAN,
and Intel ME Firmware / BIOS support. As our first Linux review of an
Intel H55 motherboard we are checking out the ECS Elitegroup H55H-M."

Today's ubiquitous URL shorteners have seen a dramatic increase in popularity the last couple of years – much of it driven by the rise in popularity of Twitter itself. They are great for keeping character count at a minimum or to make sharing easier. Some even bring a few unique features to the table, like enabling statistics or the ability to select your own keyword, but as convenient as shorteners are they also introduce some new issues.
There's significant variance from one service to another when it comes to uptime, for example, while on the other hand given that the process involves using an HTTP redirect there’s also the latency issue. But perhaps more importantly is the fact that they obscure the target address and thus may be used to trick users to an unexpected destination.
This means users are susceptible to something as innocent as being rickrolled to potentially much more harmful exposure, like being redirected to scamming websites or malware-ridden pages. Fortunately, there are several ways to peek behind a shortened URL to see exactly where the link will take you before clicking it, so let's take a quick look at a few of them.
