Quick Tip

Fern from WV writes:

Why do I keep getting the message that my Windows 7 is not genuine? How can I fix this? It came on my Gateway computer that I bought in Dec. 2010.

Windows 7 includes a Windows Genuine Advantage checker which verifies that your copy of Windows is legally licensed. However, sometimes there is an error which causes Windows to forget it is registered – but there is an easy fix.

The first step is to look at the side of your computer, or on the bottom for a Windows Authenticity Label. This label will show your Windows 7 serial number. Write down the serial number.

windows product key

Once the serial number is written down, click the Start button and in the search box type: Activate Windows

In this window you can enter in your product key and proceed with activation. You may need to click the Change product key button and type in the product key again. Once activated, you should receive the below message and will no longer be prompted that your copy is not genuine.

Hope this helps!

What's The FIRST Thing Someone Touches After Using the Toilet?

No Touching Necessary - Just Wave Your Hand!

Perfect for the Bathroom, Kitchen or ANYWHERE You Wash Your Hands!

It's the DIRTIEST Thing in Your Home...

And you're about to touch it! Think about it. What's the very first thing everybody touches immediately following a trip to the toilet? It's that soap pump, and it's literally CRAWLING with billions of dangerous bacterium!

Lucky for all of us, we live in the age of technology. We don't have to be stuck using primitive methods any longer! This soap dispenser uses motion sensor technology that senses when you stick your hand under it, and it immediately dispenses the perfect amount of your favorite soap!

Go to the restroom in any restaurant these days, and you'll see it. Automatic soap dispensers and touch-free hands dryers. Makes sense, right?

So doesn't it make sense to keep something like that in your home? Thought so!

It's Touch-Free and Motion Sensored!

It's a simple idea that can save you and your family from getting SERIOUSLY ill. Just fill it up with your favorite soap, set it on the sink, and don't worry about it!

Every time someone uses the restroom, instead of adding to the germs on the soap pump, putting themselves and others at serious risk, all they have to do is stick their hand under it and let it dispense the perfect amount of soap. It's that simple!

The best part? You can use any liquid soap you want, so pick your favorite! Just fill it up and walk away! it holds 12 ounces, so it's going to be a long time before you have to fill it up again.

An added bonus is that it dispenses a set amount every time, so it'll cut down on waste!

It's SIMPLE to Operate and Runs on Batteries!

How's it work? Using INFRARED TECHNOLOGY! It picks up motion when you stick your hand under it and automatically dispenses the soap. You never have to touch it!

As you can see from the image, this is a pretty simple mechanism. The sensor lies on the underside of the pump, right where you'll put your hand. Using an infrared sensor, it picks up the motion and out comes the soap. And as you can see from the other images, there's a clear window running right up the middle of the dispenser that shows you how much soap you have left. No over-filling, no messes!

It's cordless! That makes it perfect for any and all of your sinks. Stick the batteries in and you don't have to worry about them for a long time. This thing is efficient!

Keep your family protected from dangerous bacteria 365 days a year!

Is there any way to block Facebook posts regarding games and game requests?

Besides being a monumental waste of time, Facebook game notifications and requests gunk up your feed and make it more difficult to view the posts and comments you actually want to see. Since switching to the "Timeline" view and adding the extra ticker feed, game notifications have been lessened, but they can still be a problem if you have several friends who are prolific app users.

If constant Farmville requests have you fuming and an endless stream of Gang Wars notifications have you ready to pull out your own gat, there are several ways to stop all the unwanted junk in your feed.

On The Move

Meghan says:

I'm concerned about the permissions requests I get when I install apps on my Android phone. Some of them make me wonder if the apps are safe.

Meghan, you're right to be concerned. Since most Android app installations require some special access permissions, you have to decide whether those requirements are justified, and whether the app is worth allowing them. Many of them are necessary, while the need for others is debatable. As a result, I'll often avoid otherwise interesting and well-received apps, because of the apparently pointless and invasive nature of the required permissions.

An example of an interesting–but nosy–app is Shazam, which enables mobile phone users to identify music that's playing on their device. Sounds like a pretty cool app. However, their permission requirements include–among others–Your Location and Phone Calls.

When using the phone to download apps from the Android Market, a list of permissions appears below the Accept & Download button.

Creating Macros in MS Excel

Microsoft Excel is the one of the most popular spreadsheet programs used worldwide. It has a variety of features such as data storage, creating reports and charts, using mathematical functions, performing statistical analysis, ability to connect to databases, making use of pivot tables, V-lookups etc. One such very useful feature within Microsoft Excel is the ability to make use of "macros".

What is a Macro?

A macro is a recording of the commands and actions which are used in order to perform a task. Whenever you find that there is a particular task or series of tasks which you perform often, it may make sense to save the sequence of tasks as a macro for reuse later. Thus the applications of Macros to perform frequently occurring repetitive tasks can help free up your time to be spent more productively on doing something else instead.

Taking Sharp Photos

When you're snapping photos, sharpness is everything. Whether it's digital or film photography, the absence of focus can ruin a Kodak moment. But, if you follow the easy tips below, you'll be on your way to capturing some great pictures. Let's get started!

Avoid Camera Shake

This is the first thing you need to take care of. Most times, camera shakes lead to blurred images and not the other way around. The best way to avoid camera shaking is to always use a tripod. In cases when you don't have one, place your camera on any solid surface you can find. You can also use the self-timer function to lessen your chances of shaking.

The Pocket Mod

Up until I found this site, I had been keeping track of my grocery list on my smart phone, but then juggling between the list and the calculator got really annoying, so I started looking for a better way. Enter the Pocket Mod!

The Pocket Mod is a personal organizer that you can customize and put together to suit your specific needs. On the main page you'll find a description of how it works, why it is neat, and a good video on how to fold it. When you're ready to make your own, just click the Create a Pocket Mod link at the top right side of the page. I turn mine in a multi-page grocery list! Once folded, it is the perfect size to keep with my smart phone and go back forth between the calculator and list.

So once the application loads, you can select what type of page you want to make, then drag and drop it into one of the pages of the pocket mod. Since I make grocery lists, I click on Organization and then select Simple List (yes I know there is a shopping list in the folder, but this list you can customize! Just click the little tool button above the right corner of the list and you can type in your items), then I fill it out with my grocery list, and when I'm finished click on the list and drag it over one of the blank slots on the right. Once you've filled all the pages of the pocket mod, print it out, then reference the folding video to put it together.

I love this site! This is such a functional application, go check it out!

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
