Twitter’s great and all, but it does have its problems. One issue I’ve always had is that there’s really no way to schedule your tweets. If you want to post an interesting story about something, you’re posting it now, or you’re going to have to come back later. What if you want to spread your tweets out over the course of the day,...

Not everyone is a writer, but everyone can record video and do it easily. One of the easier types of videos to record is instructional. You know how to do something (building a PC perhaps?), know how to record video, do some basic editing and put together a presentation. Where the snag comes in is with the DVD-making process; this is something that’s...

Those of you who pay attention to investment news already know the story of the hour- Facebook’s gone public. On Thursday, they filed an IPO, and the entire investment community rejoiced. Several social gaming companies saw their stock skyrocket, and Zuckerberg revealed just how much money he’s really been making off of his world-changing social...

The most common means by which people lose access to their accounts isn’t via hacking software, nor is it through keyloggers or data miners- though those two certainly aren’t to be discounted. It’s not a result of data breaches, nor is it security-compromising worms. It’s the phishing scam. Generally sent through email, these scams are...

The lovely thing about Chrome is that it’s got such a thriving, passionate developer community. If there’s a problem that needs solving, there’s probably an addon designed to solve it. Today, the extensions list is going to be a little more scattered than usual. Submitted for your pleasure are five more useful, unique, and/or downright cool...

I’ve talked about search engines before and how at this point I’m so unbelievably disenchanted with the major players out there. For me (and yes this is my opinion), using google.com directly to search with is a chore at best because the site keeps throwing crap at me that I simply don’t care about, nor wanted to see. And, of course,...

I’m pretty sure this is the granddaddy winner (at least on the internet) for “the ends did not justify the means”. Okay, so there’s this post on Facebook that officially broke over 1 million comments. It’s right here. Is the conversation interesting? Of course not, because this is Facebook we’re talking about. Now in case you...

A few days ago, we celebrated a well-earned victory against the Old Guard. SOPA and PIPA were called unconstitutional. They were shelved, their proponents were defeated, and all was well on the ‘net. For about an hour.  Something’s recently come into play that casts SOPA and PIPA in a whole new light. Turns out, they folks responsible for SOPA had...

DuckDuckGo is a popular alternative search engine with privacy in mind for those who want simple, easy search that works. In the Google Chrome browser, you can use DuckDuckGo as either a keyword-invoked search, or just simply set it as the default search engine in the browser. The video below shows you how to do both, plus some other...

No matter how much a computer geek would prefer otherwise, we still have to use the US Postal Mail service to get things done for certain things, particularly when it comes to signed documents, physical receipt of delivery and so on. As good as email is, its status as far as "being an official document" is concerned still doesn’t hold the same...
