‘Free' Might Sound Good, But Watch Out Later On
In this trying economy, folks are always looking for a good deal. In the holiday season we especially see a lot of advertisements touting "free" products or services. Now, most of us are savvy enough to understand that nothing is free, but many times, especially when it comes to technology, not paying for a product or service actually results in higher costs. The problem with "free" is you don't know exactly what it is you are getting. More »

Fixing Snapshots With Adobe Photoshop
Rated 1.0 Stars
For all you digital camera users (and film camera users as well), I'm sure you can relate to having taken that one photo of Uncle Kimo or Auntie Leilani that turns out dark and underexposed. You might have had a flash failure or the flash on your point and shoot camera just didn't have the juice to light your subject properly. The family is greatly disappointed when you give them a dark photo with Kimo or Leilani completely unrecognizable.

Don't Let Waikiki Scare You
The recent brouhaha over Wi-Fi access in Waikiki is a clear indication that this technology is truly mature. As most of us know by know, Wi-Fi (short for wireless fidelity) networks provide data connections for computers without the need to be tethered to a network wire.

So You Want to Change Browsers?
I've been a big proponent of the open-source based browser, Firefox, for some time now. Compared to Microsoft's 800 lb. Gorilla, Internet Explorer, Firefox is more secure and less susceptible to the evils of the net, like spyware and popups. But this security comes with a price.

E-mail Is Great, but It Does Have a Few Drawbacks
E-mail has long been hailed as one of the few, if not only, killer application of the Internet age.  Its improvement in communication and business productivity has been lauded by experts and laymen alike.  Beyond that, email has further been extended as a tool to expose the truth, especially in seedy corporate evildoings.

Surfing At Work Has a Good Side
Day after day, study after study shows how much time is supposedly wasted surfing the web during work. From financial sites, to sports, even to gambling, millions of Americans admit to visiting web sites that are not related to their jobs. Organizations worldwide are implementing content-filtering mechanisms and developing "acceptable use" policies for the sole purpose of combating this plague.

What to look for in a computer
Imagine this scene: You've gotten over the Holidays, looked at the bills and started to think, "Time to worry about taxes..." and then ...WHAM, your computer goes kaput. Well, with the prices of computers coming down so much now, and with so many different places to purchase, you probably get overwhelmed... More »

I’d walk a million miles for one of your smiles my CES geek (better yet for one of your nifty new gadgets!)
If you were to ask what word(s) would most represent the 2012 CES, I'd say "BIG", "SMART" and perhaps, "CONNECTED" and just to cover all the bases, "GREEN". It's been a huge show and the number of attendees I keep hearing is 160,000. Definitely a crowd, especially when you're trying to get close to a gadget to see how it works... More »
