Quick Tip

iPad Save Images

At first glance, it doesn't seem all too easy to save images on your iPad, but thankfully the solution is far easier than you think!

So next time you want to save an image, simply tap your finger and hold on the desired image – a dialog box will pop up and prompt you to save the image.

Then check your photos, and voila!

Ever Wish There was a Multimedia Player That Could do the Following:

Play Music, Play Videos, AND Display Photos?

IT EXISTS AND WE'VE GOT IT!

It's Like an MP3 Player, HDTV and Digital Camera Display Screen...

ALL ROLLED INTO ONE BRILLIANT GADGET!

Brilliantly Clear 4.3'' Color Display Screen With Touch Controls...

4 MASSIVE Gigs of Built-in Flash Memory...

Micro SD, USB Rechargeable Battery, Built-in Speaker and 3.5mm Jack!

IT'S USB RECHARGEABLE, PORTABLE BRILLIANCE!

Carrying Case and HIGH-QUALITY Earbuds Included!

3 BRILLIANT Features. One AMAZING Gadget!

Let's cut right to the chase: This thing is AWESOME! Every once in a while, an item comes along that blows us away on so many levels...and this is one for the ages!

What's it do? It just ROCKS MP3s, plays videos with STUNNING clarity, and displays digital photos on a crystal clear, 4.3'' touch screen. No big deal, right? Wrong! This is something that you've just gotta have!

KEEP IN MIND: this thing is USB rechargeable and comes with built-in rechargeable batteries included. More on that below!

Read on to learn a little bit more about why this is the most GROUND BREAKING item we've come across in years! The best part? IT'S SIMPLE to use!

Brilliant Feature #1: It Plays Videos With Stunning Clarity!

Drag and Drop SIMPLICITY. If you have any AVI or MP4 unprotected video file on your computer, guess what? You can play it on this multimedia player! It's like a portable television! See, this comes with a USB cable that you stick into the player and hook up to your computer.

This will play pretty much whatever you've got! The audio is MP3 and WMA compatible and the video is AVI, RMVB and MP4 compatible.

Once you do that, ALL YOU DO IS DRAG AND DROP whatever unprotected video files you want right onto the device. The video is immediately stored within the 4GB of built-in memory and it's there whenever you want it!

Think that's cool? Wait until you see how clear that big 4.3'' display screen shows your videos! And the sound? It couldn't be better!

The built-in speaker provides audio that's as crisp as the video clarity, AND since this features a 3.5mm port, it that allows you to use the INCLUDED earbuds if you want!

That brings us to our next AMAZING feature...

Mind-Blowing Feature #2: Plays and Stores Your MP3s!

Are you ready to ROCK?! Go right ahead - this plays your MP3s with stunning sound quality that you won't believe until you hear! Not only are the included earbuds excellent, this allows you to listen to your music without them if you so choose. How?

There's a built-in speaker! If you're an audiophile, you're about to be one HAPPY sound junkie! Not only will it get loud enough to drive everyone in your office crazy, it's clarity will blow your mind! We're talking about high-quality sound with adjustable audio presets!

Remember, there are 4 gigs of built-in memory inside of this gadget, so you can store a TON of music - about 1000 songs! Again, adding your music couldn't be easier: just connect it to your computer with the INCLUDED cable, then drag and drop your files! That's it!

Stunning Feature #3: Crystal Clear Digital Photo Viewer!

So now that you know how easy it is to add media to the gadget, can you guess what you can do with your digital photos from your computer? You can drag and drop them right onto this thing in seconds!

The LCD screen displays your photos with brilliant clarity, and allows you to scroll through them on the touch-screen for maximum simplicity! Add TONS of your favorite photos, and never worry about running out of space. Why? Because this also features a...

Micro SD Slot for Extra Memory!

This just keeps getting better, doesn't it? You'll notice that right on the side of this thing there's a micro-SD slot. So if you've filled up the 4GB of built-in memory but still want to add more, go right ahead!

Load up your micro-SD card with whatever media you so choose, stick it into the slot and it's there. Now you have the 4GB of built-in memory plus whatever is on your micro SD card!

Is there anything that this can't do? No, not really! Watch videos, listen to your favorite music, and view ALL of your photos with one fantastic, portable device!

Remember: It's USB Rechargeable With Built-in Rechargeable Batteries!

So not only do you never have to worry about replacing the batteries, you never have to worry about running out of power! All you have to do is hook it up to your computer (or other power source) with the INCLUDED USB cable, and it starts charging immediately! Perfect!

It's the Device Fit for a KING That EVERYBODY can Afford!

You could spend $200 or MORE on an iPod Touch that has a smaller screen and NO expandable memory...Or you can get this MP3 rockin', video playing, photo viewing piece of rechargeable, portable technology for just $31.97 with FREE US SHIPPING! What make more sense to you?

Freida from MS writes:

I want to get away from Outlook Express, since I heard that it was being phased out. My email is with my server dtcweb.net. How can I still use that email address with another email program? If I set up a Gmail account, can I set it where my dtcweb.net email goes to my Gmail email account?

One of the fantastic parts of Gmail is the ability to use it to load more then just your Gmail e-mail.

The first step you want to do is contact your other e-mail provider (dtcweb.net) and ask them for the POP3 e-mail setup information. Usually, this will be something like mail.dtcweb.net, and your e-mail address as a login name and password you setup when you signed on with dtcweb.

Once you have this information, open Gmail, log in, then click on the gear then left click on mail Settings.

Click on Accounts and Import and then click on "Add a POP3 mail account you own"

Type in your dtcweb.net e-mail address and click Next. In the next window, type in your account information given to you by dtcweb.net. After such, click Add Account.

Congratulations! Your Gmail will now check and download messages from your dtcweb.net address. You can now see and manage both e-mails from inside of Gmail.

P.S. Gmail has setup instructions and troubleshooting for this feature also available at http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=21289

World's Ten Tallest Buildings

I have long been fascinated by tall buildings. I blame the movie An Affair to Remember with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, whose characters meet, fall in love, and then plan to rendezvous at the Empire State Building six months later. The movie fueled my interest in the Empire State building, and from there my curiosity spread to other tall buildings. All in all my fascination with tall buildings is a bit strange considering my fear of heights, but there you have it. I love to look at skyline filled with skyscrapers, domes, and spires!

This site shows you the ten tallest buildings in the world as of 2010. The buildings are organized on a graph by their official height. Use the scroll bar on the bottom of the page to move the page to the right so you can check out all of the skyscrapers.

You can also view the graphs for the World's Tallest Buildings updated ranking for 2012 by clicking here. And even check upcoming skyscrapers that will be finished in 2015 just by clicking here. Of that listing, I really find the structure of the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel to be interesting. All the other buildings continue the trend of being tall, streamlined, and almost futuristic, whereas the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel has a more vintage design.

Either way this graphs are neat-o! Check them out today!

With Spring just around the corner, you've given a TON of thought to your yard: new flowers, a revamped garden. You're even considering laying new blacktop on your driveway.

Lower Falls Morning Light

So, I'm at the base of Lower Falls in Hocking Hills State Park and I'm running out of time. In fact, I shouldn't even be here – the plan was to break camp and head home that morning – no photos.

However, it had rained the day before and many of the falls – including this one – actually had too much water going over them. I also knew from experience that (more)

Fawn Peeking Through The Brush

OK, so we're in Custer State Park in SD in search of some cool critters when we spot this pair of fawns. One had lost her spots, but this little gal still had a few left. The brush was thick and the light was fading so it wouldn't be long before we were forced to (more)
