It doesn’t seem all that long ago when concerns over Google’s tracking habits and subsequent privacy issues were at the forefront. At the time, I remember plenty of users railing about Google’s data collection practices and swearing to never use Google for anything again. My, how things change! Gmail is now probably the most popular […]
Microsoft Rewards Program It seems everyone is offering rewards programs these days to retain their customer base and to get new customers. I received eMail inviting me to “Try out Microsoft Edge for FREE” and get rewards. Naturally, being a Google Chrome girl, I was somewhat intrigued– Microsoft dangling a carrot in front of me […]
I just got eMail (newsletter) from a reliable source saying there had been a breach of security at Yahoo and it recommended changing the password on all your Yahoo services. This failure actually occured two years ago but Yahoo is only now confirming it. Inexcusable! How to Change Your Yahoo Password Go to Yahoo and […]
Windows 10 Notifications No Microsoft Operating System would be complete without its share of annoyances and Windows 10 is not different in this regard. In the recently released Anniversary Update a new way of enhanced pestering has been added, but they chose to call it Enhanced Notifications. I see it as Windows Defender basically patting […]

Microsoft has released an update for Window 7 and Windows 8.1 that removes the Get Windows 10 (GWX) advertising App and other elements related to their underhanded tactics of prompting users to accept Windows 10 upgrades. This is good news for those Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 holdouts […]

In the past couple of months I have been getting irritated with Facebook. What has been bothering me you ask? The Pop-up notifications on my computer. You know what I’m talking about. Those Pop-up boxes in the bottom right corner of your computer screen that says something is happening on your FB. At first it was […]
Whenever Windows 10 is mentioned, the majority of negative comments will generally rail about the telemetry (data collection). However, while I appreciate some of those concerns, is that really the most important issue? With today’s mobile-centric consumers demanding more and more on-the-go functionality, it’s only natural that levels of telemetry would need to increase exponentially… […]
iOS 10 vs iOS 9 While there is much to like about iOS 10, the most annoying feature for me has been the ‘Press home to unlock’ feature. Back in the good old days (iOS 9), you just rested your finger over the Home button. This would unlock your device and seamlessly take you past […]
I thought I knew every type of free screen capture tool available, that was until I came across CloudShot. According to CloudShot’s changelog, the software has been around since late 2012 with the most recent version (5.1) released in March this year. Strange then that I’d never heard of it, especially seeing how it is […]
