Last week we looked at the confusion regarding the many choices with Microsoft Office. I said I would have another solution for Lindsey and you this week. Here are two more good options. Office Live or OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive) depending on where you read about it or Google Drive (drive.google.com or just get…
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…
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.

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. Google Calendar –…
As of July 31st, Microsoft has come out with what I am sure they are hoping will be the "Gmail/Yahoo Email Killer." Since the old days in 1996 when "HoTMaiL" (now Outlook.com) was launched web-based, (or I guess now known as Cloud-based) email has gone big time. HoTMaiL, which was its original name, was sold…
After last week’s column about Google’s calendar I could not believe the number of emails I received. The great majority of them were asking about tying that calendar to others, mainly Outlook for people who use Microsoft products in the office. I wrote about this several years ago but the response deserves it again, along…
