Over five years ago I wrote an article that told us about how Google had just bought up another small company. That company was found on the web at grandcentral.com and it was evidently called Grand Central. As the years went on I continued using the program with its new Google branding and it worked…
A few weeks ago I said that, "Google is just a great source of interesting, informative and OK, just plain fun applications you can get for free…at least the large percentage are free." Due to a large amount of email regarding Google I figured it is time to get onboard the Google train again. It…
I do not have any idea if any of you are like me, but I like keeping my eye on the weather. My wife and I have found that online you can get many variations in not only weather predictions but even the current temperature…depending on which online weather site you visit. For instance, right…
Two warnings precede this information today. First, I like most Google products and am a big Google supporter (read prejudiced). Secondly, I work for Ntelos Wireless. Since I am going to mention phones I should warn you of any other possible prejudice. When I talk about smartphones, etc. I am giving my personal experience not…

Before starting you should note…

Remember, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them with bit.ly. Here they are in their order of appearance with short descriptions of each. Ccleaner use this…
Thanks to all of you readers who support the "Double Click" column by reading and writing. It is very much appreciated. Please keep it up. I always enjoy hearing from you. So it is that time of year again when we review all of the sites I have mentioned over the previous year. As always,…
This will be the last you hear from me in the DNR until 2012 so I thought I would give you some Christmas geek tips and sites to tide you over through the holidays. First, I figure a few of my readers are getting new computers for Christmas. Yes, from your emails I realize some…
