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…
Over the years I have received many emails from readers in regard to making online purchases. They often ask if I make any online purchases, and if so has it worked well? How about returns? But the number one is, "How do I shop securely online?" Today we will look at a few thoughts I…
I talked to a young lady recently about how she used her Recycle Bin. As if you did not know, the Recycle Bin is the trashcan icon on your Windows desktop. It is usually located on the lower right or upper left corner of the screen. It displays as empty or full. When full, whether…

I read online about an interesting application a couple of weeks ago and thought I would try it out to see how it works. If it was a good one I would recommend it to you. I always test programs like this in two ways. First, I install a "test" application with all the default…
Yes, just two days ago Google Reader (that well known and beloved RSS feed reader) was removed from the Google stables. Google announced it in March of this year and I have already ranted about the unfairness of it all, the degradation, and the sadness that has overcome us all…so enough of that, let’s get…
Hey, it is summer time and I do not know about you but I love a good, hot slice of apple pie any old time. Yes, with ice cream too! Back in the first quarter of 2012 they came up with another type of pie in the UK; a Raspberry Pi. But this one you…
As I have started several columns about Google/Gmail in the past, I will do so again here, "I used to be a fan boy of Google but what have they done now?" I have also written recently in the past that with the demise of iGoogle, Google Reader and several other very good Google and…
