Those who don’t want to deal with all the bugs associated with a new O/S release usually wait until a “point” release, e.g. Windows 7.1. Looks like we have the equivalent of the 10.1 release and even Microsoft acknowledges it. Microsoft’s message to businesses is that if they were following the traditional policy of waiting […]
It’s certainly tempting, isn’t it? Windows is “giving away” a free upgrade to Windows 10. What do to? I’ve lived by the “Wait for the point upgrade” (wftpu) advice for years and I’m going to continue following it. What wftpu means is simply this: all new O/S releases have bugs. Let others work through them and […]
I love driving on big, empty, curving roads. I love racing (on a track). But commuting? I’d rather have a computer do that for me. For one, it’s safer. Look at how this [expletive] driver turned right in front of oncoming traffic. It would have been a very bad collision if it weren’t for Tesla […]
My biggest pet peeve online is when a background tab suddenly starts playing some kind of video ad (with sound) or even worse, starts playing lousy music. Your only choice was to mute your whole computer. No longer! If you’re using the version 46 or greater of Chrome, just right-click on the tab and you […]
I long switched to iPhone but my wife and others understandably swear by Android phones for many good reasons. If you’re in that category, take a good look at the Nexus 5X and 6P if you’re in the market for an upgrade to your existing Android phone. The Nexus 5X and 6P are two of […]
T-Mobile customers should keep an eye out for identity thieves. The cell service provider said today that the data of about 15 million credit applicants was stolen from credit reporting agency Experian. It’s always a bummer when you see these kinds of reports. If you supplied your SS# to T-mobile for a credit-type application, there’s a good chance […]

I’m a huge fan of Google Hangouts and use them any time I need a video connection. Hangouts are fabulous for holding meetings where you want the face to face connection. The only problem was that actually starting Hangout required traversing a labyrinth of clicks. That’s no longer the case. Now, you just go to https://hangouts.google.com/ […]
Let’s cut to the chase. Get either the Seagate or HGST 4TB drives. Personally, I’d go for the 3x more reliable HGST drive that costs 30% more than the Seagate. The 4TB drives continue to rock, with both Seagate and HGST 4TB drives performing well. The Seagate 4TB drive has a current cumulative failure […]
If you’re considering and iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, hold off until Apple unveils the new versions of them in what looks like will be their special event in early September. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans tell BuzzFeed News the company intends to hold a special event the week of Sept. 7, with Wednesday the […]
