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…
A month or so ago Google made a change to Gmail. This change would allow users to send email messages to anyone from their Google+ profiles. In case you are like me and are not a user of Google+ let’s take a look. Google has said that, "Google+ has a ‘social layer’ that enhances many…
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 week I will continue with the second half of the links we talked about last year at DoubleClicks.info. 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. Dropbox – bit.ly/aszzao. A very good cloud…
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year since we last talked. I wanted to say, "Thanks!" to all of you readers who support the "Double Click" column by reading and writing over the past 12 years. It is very much appreciated. Please keep it up. I always enjoy hearing from…
Last week I wrote about the browser I favor most. I received many emails from folks telling me their thoughts on the matter. Thanks for the emails as I always appreciate hearing from you! There was a repeated theme from those emails regarding my favorite Android browser. This demonstrated to me that you readers know…
Last week I mentioned a trip to the "big city" and using my GPS. So today, back to my big city experience. I was going somewhere and had just reinstalled Waze. I was also running the family GPS. They both directed me the exact same way on my 25 mile/35 minute trip. About three quarters…
