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.

Combine Multiple PDFs into One File
Posted on January 23, 2012 at 5:37 am
We have PDFs stored on our computers for just about everything, from the manual for our car to last year’s tax receipts. Especially with the tax receipts, it would be best to combine all the individual PDFs into one big PDF for archival purposes.
PDFBinder makes combining several PDFs into one file a quick and easy task.
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.

Copy Windows Error Messages the Easy Way
Posted on January 21, 2012 at 5:01 am
If there is one experience all PC users have in common, it is receiving a system error message at the most inopportune time possible. Windows makes these especially aggravating by not allowing us to copy the text of the error message, meaning we have to retype the entire thing to search the Web for a solution to the problem.
A small, portable download can make it possible to copy error messages. It is appropriately named GetWindowText.
Download GetWindowText to your problem computer, and also to your favorite Flash Drive.
