Have a widescreen monitor? Chances are if you have a newer laptop you do. Even lots of desktop users are jumping on the widescreen bandwagon. Well, funny thing is that applications haven’t caught up with this change in monitor size. Fear not, though, help is on its way.
I found this from GHacks a long while […]
Outlook continues to drive us all batty. I’ve just upgraded to a newer machine and while it might not be the speediest beast on the planet, the 2 gigs of RAM makes everything run better including Outlook. But I digress. Outlook 2007 is trying to make our e-mail more secure, but it’s junk mail filtering […]
I talked about the Vista Battery Saver tool in May when it was first launched in beta. I tried it for a little while, but I think something about my machine didn’t like it. Doesn’t really matter though, because everyone else liked it so much so that it’s been release as an open-source app:

Something for all you Backpack fans…
37Signals relaunched their Backpack service today. The app’s back end code was completely rebuilt from scratch, according to Jason Fried, and the service also got a new UI to match some of 37Signals’ other recently updated products (such as Basecamp).

Folks always wonder why the monitors are off in my house (at least asleep). I do keep CPUs running, but printers are all on power-save mode. Why? Because I try to save energy with my tech gadgets. Lifehacker has easy energy saving tips for tech.
Frankly, not much else needs to be said…just do it.

Sometimes you just need to stash a file somewhere. Somewhere online, where you can get to it on another computer, or share, or back it up. Lots of reasons. Storage costs have dropped so much that online storage solutions have been getting better and cheaper. That and our Net connections faster and faster. I have […]
We all use emoticons in IM and other electronic conversations. They’ve just become a part of how we express additional feelings. How did they start? Who was the first … here’s your answer:
