A couple of years ago, I wrote about upgrading my TV streaming device to Google Chromecast TV. It provides a great way to stream most anything you could need with it on a TV. Now, a smart TV will also allow you to do this; however, some brands have restrictions. Check out my previously referenced…
I am not psychic, a paranormalist or any type of futurist. To show you how well I do in predicting the future, here are a couple of examples. I once owner a Ford Pinto and thought it was a superb car, then a Chevy Chevette (both failures in the public eye). When videotapes were the…
Here is one update to the last two columns I wrote about Google Maps and Waze for Android devices. Guess what? Waze released a new version of its excellent product. It has a couple of nice new features but mostly it was cosmetic with a few navigational changes. I believe it looks better, is quicker…
There are several things I have written about through the years which I get questioned about regularly. I thought today we would look at a few that have evolved into something more as well as some that have vanished from the e-landscape. One of them was a site with some fun, soothing sounds. It is…
Welcome to the beginning of our fourteenth year together with the Double Click column. Every January we review the sites that we visited in the previous year. Today is no different. So as always, if the site addresses are too long to type I have shortened them using the "bit.ly" app so the links may…
Last week I talked about an issue that was happening with Google’s Chromecast and Chrome browser related to Android tablets and phones. I stated there, "…you could always try various browsers from time-to-time and find out what you may like. It is easy to change back at any time." When I wrote that I did…
As you regular readers know, I like Google. Google is not perfect but they have many great apps. In the past I have been disappointed in their corporate decisions to do away with some of their more desirable apps. For instance iGoogle homepage, Calendar Sync and Google Reader to name a few. I learned something…
Adobe makes many products which are used on Windows computers today. Every now and then you are reminded to update Adobe Flash. If you are the normal computer user you probably just click the “Install” button and continue on. First, let me provide a quick history of Adobe Flash. It started out in the 1990s…
Last time we looked at some of the neat features in Google’s newer device called "Chromecast." I liked the column so much I went out and bought one for my household. (Wow, I am easily persuaded.) It works as described with new features and applications being added all the time. I did have several reader…
This is a very popular way to convert your "almost" smart TV into a fairly intelligent one…at a very low cost. If you have not heard about it yet the item is called Chromecast which was developed by Google. It is a dongle…STOP! Some of you may need to know what a dongle is so…
