Take Firefox On The Go With Firefox Portable Edition

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 5:33 am

When you use different computers, browser settings vary. Unless you save your bookmarks to any online bookmarking site, you can’t take them with you. Loading someone else’s Firefox means different add-ons as well. What if you could take your Firefox with you? This is where Firefox Portable comes into play.

With the portable edition of the popular Mozilla Firefox browser, you can install the browser on a USB drive to take with you wherever you go. Any computer with a USB port now provides you access to the settings you are accustomed to when browsing.

Quickly Save and Store Files, Text and Photos in the Cloud

Posted on January 26, 2012 at 5:19 am

When it comes to cloud storage, there seems to be two schools of thought—either you copy/paste text somewhere to access it later, or you upload files that can be downloaded later. Our favorite storage services are generally the ones where we store files in a familiar file folder structure, but we see the value in storing copied and pasted information too.

If you want the best of both worlds without anything to download and a simple drag-and-drop interface, try Hopper.

Share Copied Text Between Computers the Easy Way

Posted on January 25, 2012 at 8:10 am

We love our mobile devices, be they phones or tablets. We surf the web, check our email and even work on them once in a while. As great as these devices are, they are not yet full computer replacements. When we need to copy text from a device, then share it with a computer, we normally result to email, which adds its own formatting and can be slow.

Another way to share copied text between computers and devices is with an Internet clipboard, like Cl1p.

From the PDFBinder homepage, click the Downloads link.

From the list of files, choose the latest version of the software.

Schedule Reminder Emails, Texts and Phone Calls

Posted on January 22, 2012 at 5:35 am

If you have ever forgotten your mother or significant other’s birthday, you know the value of keeping a good calendar. Outlook and Google Calendar are good methods for remembering important dates—so long as we use our computers on the important date. Many smartphones have reminder apps, but not everyone has a smartphone.

ReminderGuru is another way to remember important dates. ReminderGuru will make sure you remember your mother’s birthday (or anything else) by sending you a text, email and even a phone call to remind you.
