In The News 05-11-2012 Smartphones Are Taking Over The Social World We all knew that Facebook use was increasing across mobile devices, but did we know by how much? According to a report by comScore, smartphones spent more time accessing Facebook than computers in March. Of course, anyone with any experience with a slow wi-fi or wireless data connection on their mobile device could easily argue why that's true… According to the Mobile Metrix 2.0 report, users spent an average of 441 minutes accessing Facebook during the month. In comparison, users spent an average of 391 minutes using the social network on PCs. These numbers help to solidify the idea that mobile use is the future of computing – at least in the social networking world. The report also states that Facebook was number one amongst all other social networks, taking the top spot over Twitter, Foursquare, and LinkedIn. It's a story of cutting edge technology and unbeatable human spirit – and the 26.2 miles they smashed together. After 16 days, 32-year-old Claire Lomas finished the London Marathon. So what makes that so remarkable? She did it in a bionic suit. After a horse riding accident back in 2007, Lomas was paralyzed from the chest down. The suit she donned was the ReWalk and was invented by Amit Goffer. It allows parapalegics to both stand and walk. Lomas is the first person in history to complete a marathon in a full bionic suit. The marathon was part of a fundraising project that has so far raised $125,000 towards paralysis treatment and research. ~Mike Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Moving Files from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail Outlook Express has been a mainstay of email clients since it came bundled with Internet Explorer since 1997. With Windows Vista and 7, users have to move to the rebranded version, Windows Live Mail. This would be a good opportunity for users to clean up old email and addresses, but moving files from an old machine with Outlook Express 6 to a new one running Windows Live Mail is fairly easy. You will need a thumb drive (also called a flash drive or USB drive) that is available at any electronics or office supply store for a few dollars. On the old computer, place the USB drive into the computer. There will be slots available on the front and/or back of most computers and laptops. There is a right way up, so don't force it. Once the computer has accepted it, a window will pop up in the lower right saying the device is ready for use. Right-click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of the screen and then click on "Explore." In the folder list on the left, click the "+" signs next to the folders to drill down to your Outlook Express files. They will be located under "Documents and Settings" and then the folder with your user name for the computer. Under that, click on "Application Data" then "Local Settings" and then "Identities." Under that will be a folder with a bunch of letters and numbers on it. Click on that, then "Microsoft" and finally, "Outlook Express." In the window on the right, click on the first file in the list. Then move the cursor down and hold down the "Shift" key while you click on the last file in the list. (You may have more files than shown. This will highlight all of the files in the list. Then right-click (Click the right mouse button) and select "Copy" from the menu. Next, go back to the window on the left and scroll down to the bottom. The Thumb drive you inserted will be called "Removable Disk" with a drive letter most likely of "E:" or "F:" Click on that in the left window. The right window will be blank if this is a new thumb drive. Right-click anywhere in the right way and select "Paste" from the drop down window. If the paste option is greyed out, or you can't click on it, you didn't complete the copy procedure correctly. Go back and try to copy until you can paste the files here. Once you click paste, all the files you highlighted above will now be in the right window. Next, you need to get the address book. Follow the same procedure as above, but this time under the user directory, click on "Application Data" then "Microsoft" and finally, "Address Book." The address book will be in the right window with your user name and an extension of WAB (Windows Address Book). Right-click to copy and then paste it to the thumb drive the same way you did the Outlook Express files. Remove the thumb drive from the old computer and insert it into the new computer. Start Windows Live Mail by clicking the Start icon in the lower-left of the screen and selecting "Windows Live Mail" on the menu. Tap the "Alt" key to bring up the traditional "File, Edit View…" menu. Click on "File" and then "Import" and finally "Messages." This will bring up a "Select Program" window. Select "Microsoft Outlook Express 6" and click "Next" It will then ask for the location of the messages. Click on "Computer" to expand the device list if necessary and choose "Removable Disk" again. Note that the drive letter may be different on this machine than it was on the old one. Click "OK" A "Select Folders" window will pop up. Accept the default of "All folders" and click "Next." This will import all of your old mail into your new Windows Live mail system. Next, you need to import your address book. In the lower left of your Windows Live Mail window, click "Contacts." Tap the "Alt" key again and then click on "File," "Import" and "Windows address book (.WAB)." In the file dialog that pops up, scroll back down to your thumb drive and select the ".wab" file from the list. Click "Open" and the program will import all your contacts into the new Windows Live Mail contact list. ~Darryl Brooks Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

(Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) Wayne from Akron asks: I am so tired of logging in every time I go to use my Windows XP computer. Is there some easy way to turn this off? Or should I just delete my password all together? Yes, you can turn this feature off (disable the password), and no, it's probably not a good idea to delete your password all together. As a user, your account is much more secure if it has a password. So keep the password; you don't have to log on with it just because it's there! And here's how. #1. Point to Start, then Run, and then click on Run. Check it out, XP users! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!) Friday Funnies!

We all know they're out there, waiting to catch speeders as they go by. Whether they are in plain view or hidden, speed traps exist all over the place. You're probably familiar with the ones in your local area, but what if you're on an out of state trip? I think we all know drivers with out of state plates are often targeted for speeding tickets, because they are more likely to pay than come back and fight their ticket in court. I know it's true in Ohio! This Web site is devoted to helping you avoid speed traps during your travels. You can also help out by reporting the speed traps you know about. The site's navigation is pretty simple. You can get started by using the side menu to browse the following sections: Add a Speed Trap – Here is where you can add a speed trap to the site's listings. Notice that it may take several days for your submission to be reviewed and please make sure to follow the six guidelines posted when you fill out the form. Speed Trap Listings – Here you will find speed traps in alphabetical order by location. The locations are: the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. These are speed traps that have been reported by local residents of those places. I, of course, went to Ohio and checked out the speed traps not only for Toledo, but for Lorain. The ones for Lorain (which is my hometown) I already knew about, but there were some listed for Toledo that I wouldn't have thought of and I am very grateful to know about them now! Fight a Speeding Ticket – This will take you to a page where you can go through 10 steps on how to fight a traffic ticket. There is an FAQ section here that is also a good read, along with a great tip section on how to avoid getting ticketed. The tip section on avoiding tickets has some great advice I think all drivers should know. For example, check your lights, keep your car clean, don't stand out and many more. Speed Trap Laws – The states listed in blue are linked so that you can click them and find out what the speed trap laws are for that particular location. Only a handful of states appear to have speed trap laws. How to Eliminate Speed Traps – This section points out several ways you can work to eliminate the speed traps in your area. You'll learn how to contact the right authorities to get the information on speed limits in your area, as well as, a letter you can send to your legislators. Speed Limits: Fact & Fiction – In this section, the link I found most useful was the State Speed Limit Chart. Here you can see the speed limits for both day and night for all 50 states. You'll also find links to research, models and explanations of speed limits. Of course, the best way to avoid a speeding ticket is to not go over the posted limit, but sometimes that makes you a hazard to traffic that is moving faster than you and you have to go with the flow. Be careful out there and remember to buckle up! http://www.speedtrap.org/index.html ~ Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
