I will pretend that my boss wanted proof of exactly what time I got to work one day last week. In the olden days there would be no way to prove that. However, with modern technology used by Google I can see right when I got to work that day. Including the date, time (including…
I hear complaints from people all the time about how their phones’ battery life is poor. Some say they won’t last an entire day. Sometimes this is very true especially with older Android devices; however, the newer ones have pretty good strength between charges. Of course, this depends on how you use your phone. If…
Jamie wrote to me and was horribly upset that Google has been tracking her online activities. She wanted to know first, if that is true and next, if so how to stop it. Well, yes it is true under certain circumstances. First, you must be logged into your Google/Gmail account when you are searching. Then…

Last week I told you I had a better idea than using Google Cloud Print. That feature of Google’s Chrome browser allows you to print documents from any of your computers to your printer in any location. There is one other way to print using this feature. That is by connecting directly to a networked…
Several weeks ago after a column about Google Chromebooks, I received a great question from a reader and friend of mine, Joe. Joe asked about how he could set up Google Cloud Printer on his Chromebook. After I researched and set it up I started receiving many other emails concerning the same question, so here…
