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…
A few weeks ago I told you about a new cloud storage site. It is called Copy.com my current favorite online file storage site (sign up at bit.ly/roncopy for an additional 5 GB of storage). Over a year ago I told you about Dropbox.com which is another excellent cloud storage site. You may also…
I have mentioned OneNote by Microsoft several times in recent articles. I have had many emails asking me to do an introduction column regarding this application. So here it is. In my opinion OneNote is one of the most overlooked and enigmatic applications in the Microsoft stables today. MS has not mentioned it much until…
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…
As time goes by I realize that many companies, unfortunately Microsoft included, strive to keep the customer confused. I received a question last week from Lindsey saying she had just gotten a new computer and wanted to know which MS Office to get. She had Office 97 on her previous computer and yes, Windows XP. …
Great article by Kim about Google Voice. (Of course, I wrote about it in 2007 & 2012. But she has many more readers.) You should check it out since there is some more good info there. If we’re being honest, phone calls haven’t changed much in the last hundred years. Sure the hardware has improved…
Over three years ago I mentioned an excellent product named Dropbox. Dropbox is a “cloud” storage program which allows you to save all sorts of files on a site located on the web. It allows you to “sync” your files without you doing anything to your free 2 GB container of online storage. If you…
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…
