As a once-avid user of Windows Media Center to record TV, it was pretty clear to me that the Xbox could make a great DVR. This latest move is indicative of where they are going. Microsoft is adding recording and playback capability to live, over-the-air TV. You still have to purchase some hardware and an […]
If you have a 2013 or earlier Chrysler product with the Uconnect feature, contact your dealer immediately and get the upgrade to patch this serious, scary security hole. Reading this article was horrifying as the author described how (with his consent) hackers took over his Jeep Cherokee. At first they just played w/ the A/C […]
Looks like there’s a serious security hole in Windows that is based on a type of font. Presumably, this goes undetected by anti-virus software and can be activated by opening up a Word document. Don’t wait. Go to Windows Update right now and force a “Check for Updates”, then install the patches. More details: The […]
This didn’t quite occur to me until I read the article, but yes, it’s time to keep that phone on silent. These days, the phone is either in your hand or on the table where you can see it, so why annoy the rest of us with whatever your ringtone is? A ringing phone is […]
For me personally, I chose to compromise for imperceptibly lower speed in exchange for much lower cost, so I chose Tmobile. However if you must have the highest speed and you travel across the country a lot, Verizon might be worth looking into if you haven’t already. For the second year in a row, Verizon […]
I’m going to have to try this. Just plug this stick into an HDMI port of any modern monitor/TV, bring your bluetooth keyboard & mouse, and you’re up and running. Combine this with a cloud-based service platform like Google Apps or Microsoft Office/365 and you are up and running for next to nothing. Lenovo’s new […]
Looks like there was a breach in the LastPass service. While it’s not a complete disaster, it should give everyone a good signal that it’s really not a good idea (IMO) to use cloud-based password-storing systems. If I was using LastPass, I would be deleting my account and all its data immediately. We want […]
Ask any Windows veteran and they will tell you to hold off until the “.1” release of any new O/S. Unless you’ve got a fire under you, hold off on installing the free upgrade until the equivalent of Windows 10.1 gets released, if you can. …you should probably wait until the last minute to make […]
Google Maps iPhone users can rejoice. Next time you’re at your desk and you find that restaurant on Google maps, just send it to your iPhone, jump in your car, and let the sexy voice nav lady take over. The latest version of Google Maps, now in the App Store, lets you send any place you search […]
I’ve been using Google Photos for only a few days and I’m already hooked on it. This is much, much more than a photo uploading service. Once uploaded, you can browse your collection according to people (via facial recognition), places, and even events. I love the added feature whereby it attempts to create animations when […]
