  • Thoughts on Steve

    “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is no longer the same river … and he is no longer the same man.” — Heraclitus

    As a professional news writer, I have spent much of the last five days thinking about — and writing about — the death of Steve Jobs. My friends [...]

  • A No-Brainer Shortcut for Quickly Creating PDFs

    …it sure would be nice to be able to save some time and some mouse clicks each time we want to create a PDF. This month’s tip gives the recipe for a shortcut to do just [...]

  • A quick way to speed up Web surfing on all your computers

    In every case I’ve seen so far, a quick, easy and free change in the DNS settings of their home Internet router fixes the problem. Switching the router from using the ISPs default DNS service to a faster, more efficient public DNS gives an immediate and noticeable improvement in browsing [...]

iPad Tip: Copying Long Safari URLs

Having trouble getting “Select All” to show up in iPad Safari so you can copy a long URL?

For some reason, it only appears when no words or characters are selected. To get rid of the current selection:
- Press and hold on the URL until the magnifying glass pops up.
- When you release, the [...]

Fewer Paper Magazines Being Sold?

I’ve noticed fewer and fewer magazines on the racks at local convenience stores and it makes me wonder what’s happening?

There are a lot of reasons that could account for it, but my favorite is that more people are reading electronically.

Still, the magazine rack at my local CVS is less than half it’s size one year [...]

Tips for typing ALL CAPS on iPad

Probably everyone except me knew this already.  I was getting tired of clicking the shift button for each letter and annoyed that it wouldn’t stay on like the iPhone’s shift.

I did discover this: to type several capital letters in a row, keep one finger on the shift key.  Everything you type while holding that will [...]

External Battery Pack for MacBook and iPhone

This is a neat device.  It is a simple battery pack that charges from 12 volts, like your car or the adapter.  It has a USB port to power your iPhone/iPod/iPad and another port to power your MacBook with the provided MagSafe connector.

If you need your MacBook and or iPhone device to run for a [...]

Tonight,  when I tried to actually use NetFlix to watch a [...]

Airport Express for Entertainment Center Network

Do you have new devices in your living room entertainment center that could connect to the internet?  Or be controlled by things on your house network like computers or smart phones?  Do they have ethernet but not builtin WiFi?  So do I.

I have a Samsung Blue-Ray player that my wife gave me for Christmas in [...]

iPad used to run a Government

A good tool is a good tool.

Government officials have historically been mobile workers, but it is cool to see Norway’s Prime Minister using an iPad to assist in his work while waiting to fly home from New York.

Does Obama still use a Blackberry?
