This will be short. But, if you’re in my position and find this post, it will make your day (I hope!). I have an HP Envy with an Intel Core i7 processor. It is big. It is fast. I have been very pleased over the past two years. There is one drawback – it is…
OK, so it’s been over 8 months since my last post. Well, you’re gonna love me for this one and it’ll all be ok once you realize how great this new service from Google is! I have been a lover of the Chrome browser pretty much ever since it was released. It’s fast, simply laid…
OK, here’s a quick tip for you iPhoners out there. Recently, I’ve been running into the trouble of the phone (iPhone 4) hanging when it syncs with iTunes. Many times, there’ll be a 583iurw984r.m4v type notation and the system freezes. I searched far and wide to no avail and finally did the last-but-shout-be-first-resort option of…
So, I’ve been recommending Yousendit.com for a while to transfer large files without using FTP. Enter www.wetransfer.com – it’s the most bare bones, easy to use system I’ve seen to date. There’s one thing on the screen and it’s as simple as adding files, then entering 2 emails (to and from) and comments. They fund…
So, I’ve been a fan of efax.com to have a fax number that sends to your email. Now, that’s the receiving end. And, while you get 2 free outgoing faxes, once those are out, you have to sign up for the monthly fee to send more. And, how many of us send lots of faxes…
Why don’t I trust my better judgement? Here I am, trying to follow Apple’s rules by updating firmware on the iPhone 4 and, yep, have a useless piece of glass on my desk. I’m trying the following fix at this moment . . . I’ll post to let you know how it goes. If you’re…
OK, this could be another record post, but I had to share it. Thanks to a caller to Buzz Out Loud, I learned the secret to starting a DVD quickly (skipping the trailers and warnings at the beginning). I know, you’re excited already! I tried it on my HD-DVD Toshiba player and it worked like…
I’ve worked on laptops for about 8 years now . . . I also use Photoshop extensively and you can’t imagine the times I’ve tried to retouch a spot in an image that wasn’t a spot at all! Let’s face it, LCD screens are better than ever, but they still get dirty and smudged. Through…
OK, before this year, let’s just say my book keeping was less than stellar. I knew just enought about Excel to put clients into a spreadsheet and dole out billing on my own each month or quarter. Yeah, that was lowsy. I had tried Quickbooks way back when, but just didn’t “get” it . .…
Hats off to the folks at Tekzilla for this . . . you know that voice you hear when you call someone’s cell beginning with “We’re sorry, the party you have called, cannot be reached . . . ” followed by an eternity of options? You really just want the beep so you can leave…
