In The News 06-08-2012 There Was Some Expo In LA… This week marked the 2012 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or more popularly known as E3. Typically the expo focuses on video game entertainment, and this year was no exception, but 2012 had some bigger news that went beyond just video games. Microsoft, the maker of the popular gaming console Xbox, unveiled something called Xbox SmartGlass this year. SmartGlass (which is not glass, and is in a battle with Netflix's Qwikster idea for dumbest name of all time) is actually an app that will help to integrate the Windows 8 operating system on PCs and mobile devices to a users Xbox and TV. It will even work with Android and iOS devices, just as long as the PC you're using has Windows 8. The Xbox already offers a variety of entertainment options beyond video games, including ESPN3, Netflix, and social network integration. SmartGlass takes it even further by allowing everything to be pulled into one app and shared across all devices. SmartGlass is expected to be available this fall, the same time Windows 8′s release date should be, and cost nothing. The only thing needed will be the necessary compatible hardware.
Twitter's Facelift What do you get when you shave your head and rotate 10 degrees upward? Twitter's new logo. The social networking company revealed this past Wednesday a more simplified look to its famous "Twitter bird" logo. They are also removing the common lowercase "t" in their logos. The logo still features a bird, but this bird has the tuft of feathers found on the head of the old one removed. The bird is also slightly slimmer as well as being rotated upwards, giving a more "soaring" look. The blue being used is also a shade or two darker. Twitter stated in a post that the bird was "crafted purely from three sets of overlapping circles — similar to how your networks, interests, and ideas connect and intersect with peers and friends." ~Mike Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Sheila from Texas writes: What about all those files with the $$ in front of them? Can I delete ALL of those? Will it help my computer to delete them? Let's start with an explanation… those files you've found are Temp (temporary) Files. Often they will have a ".tmp" extension and are located in a Temp folder. Various programs will create them while you're working to hold auto-save files or other data the program may need. When you close the program they should be erased, but as you've found that's not necessarily the case. (Computer crashes, improper shutdowns, general program issues often cause these files to be left behind.) Well?! Well?! Get an answer here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)

GOOD Welcome to the Roadmap to Harmony. There are a couple of ways to navigate this roadmap. You can click the Get Started circle, read the introduction, and then follow the other circles around the map. Just click on them to zoom in on what they're about. Or you can use the tabs at the top of the page to navigate. They are: Energy, Education, Sustenance, Health, Earth,Flora & Fauna, Connectivity, Exchange, and Coexistence. Or you can use my approach and just click around, and delving deeper into what interests you. I checked out Connectivity first. Did you know 1 in 5 people are connected somehow to the internet and half of those users have a high-speed broadband connection? Why is that important? All that interconnectivity can promote harmony through communication. While each section has plenty to read you'll also find videos, graphs, and ideas on how you can take action for a certain subject. There's a neat option at the top of the page called Sort. It lets you pick profiles, infographics, or videos and sort the page by them. This means that if you'd just like to check out the videos, you can choose videos and they'll all come to the forefront of the harmony image so you can click them with ease.

What Good is a New Computer... WHEN YOUR SOFTWARE IS STUCK ON YOUR OLD ONE?! Don't Even Talk About Transfer Cables - They Only Move Files... When it Comes to Software They're Useless! You Could Spend Hours, Days and a Small Fortune... OR YOU CAN GET LAPLINK PC MOVER W/CABLE INSTEAD! Amazing Cable Gives You LIGHTNING FAST Transfers The EASY Way! WORKS WITH EVERYTHING: XP, VISTA, WINDOWS... WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT! Simple to Use - Anyone Can do it! A Frightening Little Story... Bill just got a new computer. He's SUPER excited, and can't wait to get it booted up. Slamming the door behind him and throwing his keys on the table, he rushes to the living room and starts to unbox that shiny new PC. In walks his roommate, Fred. Fred knows a thing or two about computers and has no problem giving Bill advice - even though he can be quite smug about sharing his knowledge... "Hey Fred! Check it out - I FINALLY got a new computer!" Bill says, eagerly awaiting approval from his nerdy roommate. "It's SO much better than my last one. I can't WAIT to get everything transferred over from that old piece of junk!" "Well Bill" Fred says in a smug, all knowing voice, "that's a nice idea and all, but how are you going to transfer everything over just using that old transfer cable of yours?" With his face starting to redden, Bill stammers "Wait...wha-what do you mean how? I've got that cable thingy...it'll do the trick, right Fred? RIGHT?" "Wrong!" Fred laughs. "That thing'll only transfer over your files. What about all of that expensive software you've invested so much money in, Bill? What about that? How do you think you'll get that transferred over?" ...SILENCE... After letting Bill suffer in silence for a few moments, Fred introduces Bill to LAPLINK PC MOVER WITH CABLE... The most INGENIOUS program EVER created for PC users! If you are planning on getting a new PC any time in the near future - LapLink PC Mover is AN ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE! If you're buying a new computer with Windows 7 on it - it's even MORE important that you have this! Here's why! It's ALL in The Cable - And The Transfers are LIGHTNING Fast! **Pay Attention - This is IMPORTANT!** The secret to the BLAZIN' speed is all in the included cable... And it makes a standard USB cable look SLOW! It's fully compatible, AUTOMATIC, and 100% Plug & Play! Just follow the prompts, plug it in and watch in awe as your transfers are completed with UNBELIEVABLE SPEED Seriously - What would take a standard USB cable hours - this can do in minutes! What would take a USB cable minutes - this can do in seconds! There's nothing to install - no drivers, no networking, nothing! Just follow the simple prompts and get ready for your TRANSFERS TO POSITIVELY FLY! HANDS DOWN THE FASTEST TRANSFER CABLE WE'VE EVER SEEN IN ACTION! Move EVERYTHING From Your Old PC to Your New One With EASE! This awesome software lets you transfer everything - from your files to your software programs - onto your new computer. Most transfer cables only let you transfer over old files...but what about all of that IMPORTANT software that you've spent a FORTUNE on? Moving files is simple - moving software is not. In fact, it's nearly impossible! NOT ANYMORE! When most software is installed, you get components and pieces of the software scattered all over your hard drive . Manually finding every part and putting it back on a new computer, placed where it should be and registered with Windows is almost impossible. UPGRADING FROM XP TO 7? WANNA KEEP ALL FILES AND SOFTWARE? READ ON! Why? Because for some reason, Microsoft will NOT support a direct upgrade path to Win7 from XP. You can buy it, but once you install it - you're in for a nasty surprise! You'll be told that ALL of your software is now gone, and that it'll try to relocate it. It can't. Hope you backed everything up.. | ||||||||

 | 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) |
 | Spring Time Iris So, I see this little Iris off in the distance and I knew despite the danger it could make for a sweet photo. I gather my gear and with my heart pounding in my chest I begin the relentless 10 foot hike over to its location. It was a tough trek (more) |
