The latest change to tick off Facebook users is the switch to timeline-style profile pages. While the timelines might be easier to navigate and offer more customization options, Facebook’s users just do not accept change well. Apps are starting to appear to make timelines more colorful and stylish, and among them is a clever movie [...]

Convert a PDF to a Microsoft Office PDF, DOC or XLS File

When someone sends you a PDF, they do not always consider that you many need to edit that PDF or that you may want to print the PDF in a different format. We have been told PDFs are the most portable files available—and for the most part, they are—but sometimes editable file types just make [...]

Skip Ads on YouTube

kjackson_ott — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:04:20 +0000

YouTube was once a place where we could peacefully watch videos starring skateboarding cats and nasty honey badgers. We could bounce from video to video, never encountering any resistance other than the occasional slow Internet connection or rogue flaming comment from disgruntled video watchers. It was a beautiful place to squander time—then Google decided to [...]

Turn Your Facebook Photos into PDF Albums

kjackson_ott — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 11:06:10 +0000

Sharing your Facebook photos with non-Facebook users (yes, there are still people who do not use Facebook) often means downloading the photos, saving them in a zip file, then emailing them. For the technologically naive, a zip file can pose a challenge, since it must be extracted to fully enjoy the photos. Another option is [...]

If you’ve recently switched to Windows Vista or 7 from Windows XP, you may have noticed that the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard is missing.

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

kjackson_ott — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:19:46 +0000

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 [...]

Share Copied Text Between Computers the Easy Way

kjackson_ott — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 14:10:25 +0000

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 [...]

See All of Your Cloud Files from One Place

Cloud file storage is quickly becoming the best way to share and store files. But, as our friends and family discover cloud storage, no one seems to agree on where best to share files. This leaves us with chaotic accounts all over the Web. ZeroPC is designed to make sense of the cloud-storage choas. It [...]

Add Fun Effects to Your Facebook Photos

kjackson_ott — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:21:04 +0000

Over the past couple of years of uploading photos straight from our cell phones to Facebook, we have amassed a large collection of rather boring-looking photos with no way to edit them short of downloading them from Facebook and using a graphic editor. This seems like a great amount of trouble just to jazz-up our [...]

Delete All of Your Twitter Tweets

Chances are, if you have been on Twitter since the beginning of the service, you have amassed more tweets than you realize. Some of them may be sheer genius. Others (often the majority) are less than stellar. Some even may even be lame. If you reach a point where you want to delete all of [...]

Aggregate All of your Email and Social Media Contacts

We have contacts saved all over the Web, from multiple email addresses, Facebook, LinkedIn and probably other places we have long forgotten. After nearly two decades with modern Internet access, we still do not have one central place to see all of our contacts. Neiio Contacts seeks to end the contact-finding chaos by creating one [...]

Download YouTube Videos as MP3s and MP4s from a Toolbar

kjackson_ott — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 11:55:48 +0000

We have found many ways to download YouTube videos as both MP3s and MP4s. However, none of these ways is infallible, and YouTube has started trying to block many of these downloaders. Having several download options is important. One fairly new option is the YTByClick Toolbar. If you use Chrome, IE or Firefox, you can [...]

Share Converted Text-to-Speech with a QR Code

QR codes are convenient for smartphone users because scanning the code directs the phone’s browser to a specific website without the phone user having to type a URL. We see them everywhere now, from item descriptions in electronics stores to the back of ketchup bottles. A new way to use a QR file is to [...]
