Google Reverse Image Search So, say you have an image you grabbed off the Internet and you want to find a larger size, but you can't quite remember where you got the image in the first place? What do you do? Where do you go? There's gotta be an easy way, right? Yep, there is, and you can find it at Google. It's called Reverse Image Search. Just head over to Google.com and click the Images button in the upper left-hand corner. The page should reload and you should see a little camera icon in the search box. Now, you have options here – you can either browse to where your image is on your computer, paste the URL of an image from another site (right-click on the image and select Copy image URL) or even drag and drop and image from your desktop into the search bar. Whichever method you choose, after you hit the Search button Google will scour the internet for like-looking images to the one you uploaded. You can also click on the link at the bottom and watch a short video that offers more explanation. What a great idea! ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Tim from OH writes: Many flash drives come pre-loaded with a small amount of software. Is it safe to delete this if you plan to use the flash drive only for storage? That really depends on the kind of software on the flash drive, Tim. If the flash drive comes with free applications/games/trials: This kind of software is ok to remove since it's not directly tied to how the flash drive functions. The best way to remove this software is to reformat the flash drive before you begin using it. Step 1.) Plug in the flash drive and open My Computer (or Computer for Windows 7 users) and right click on the flash drive (Usually drive letter E or higher in this example it's drive F) and left click format. Step 2.) You can change the drive's label (the name that comes up next to drive letter – it was "Corsair" on my drive by default, but can be changed) and click Start. This will reformat the drive and wipe out everything on it. Once it is complete, the drive will be ready to use without any software wasting space. If the flash drive comes with encryption software/security software: This may be very dangerous to remove and you should contact the device manufacturer. Some flash drives have a hardware encryption, which requires a program to stay on the flash drive and run to decrypt the information on it. Do not reformat one of these drives unless the manufacturer indicates to you that the included software can be removed. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us?

Mark as Read in MS Outlook If you're like me then when MS Outlook let's you know that you've got a new message you usually see an envelope down in the bottom corner of your taskbar (the system tray). I happen to have a love/hate relationship with that little envelope. I love that it let's me know that a new message has arrived – since my work computer is used for teaching purposes and is displayed most of the time I can't have the type of notification that would display actual information about the message – but I can use that little envelope!

HDR Photography Made Simple For starters, HDR photography is where your pictures capture both the shadows and light areas much more vividly than the regular camera lens. Our eyes do that already, which is why the brightest area in our vision is balanced off with the darkest area and we get a truly dynamic sight in front of us. But the cameras are not so well equipped, and have their limitations. Here is where HDR comes in. Check it out here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)

Women@NASA is an amazing site on its own, but since they've teamed up with Aspire 2 Inspire – a campaign to encourage middle school age girls to embrace engineering, math, science, and technology as future career paths – the site has just become more powerful. Looking back on the way I was educated as a child, both through private and public schooling, I can see where I was discouraged to be interested in math and hard science. At some point I went from being in an advanced math group in the fifth or sixth grade to being convinced that I could not do math at all. The only D, I've ever received in my academic career was in Algebra 3 in high school. Let me tell you how heart breaking that D was to a straight A student. Then when I started my undergrad as a young college freshman, my advisor bullied me and put me down by suggesting that even though I'd passed the entrance exams with flying colors, and had completed the prerequisite English courses in high school that there was no possible way that I should be in the advanced writing courses . Just look at my remedial math scores, he said. So I quit school before I ever started and went back ten years later – and with trepidation decided to get my math courses out of the way early so I'd have time to recoup my GPA from whatever damage they did to it. Lo, and behold, I discovered that I wasn't bad at math. I aced both classes and realized that all those years ago, I had been discouraged from being successful because I was a girl. Where the boys in my class received praise, encouragement, and extra help; I was berated, talked down to, and even poked fun at by my teachers. Since I graduated high school there has been a campaign started to encourage girls who show promise in math and science to pursue those fields through their education and then take on positions in those professions. It's nice to see. The site has over 64 videos and essays from the women working in different fields for NASA sharing their experiences as employees at NASA, how they've overcome obstacles presented to them throughout their lives and careers, and offering encouragement and wisdom for girls who wish to follow in their footsteps. Navigation is easy. No, really, it is. Just click on anything interesting to you on the site and you'll be good to go – and then you'll click the next interesting thing, until you've watched and read everything. At least that was my experience. More formally there are featured articles and videos on the main page, and a handy dandy navigation bar across the top of the page with the categories About, Careers, Blog, A2I, NASA GIRLS, Spotlight, Events, Get Involved, and Outreach. Another great way to navigate is to start with the videos, right below the navigation bar, just click a video to start watching. It will take you to the biography page of that woman and you'll have access to her video and essay. Then you can just click the back button and watch the next video. I've shared this site with everyone in my life, over multiple social networks, I'm sure people are tired of seeing me post it or post certain videos, but I really find the message here inspiring. I hope that you will too and that you'll share it with everyone you know. ~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

You know, pictures, videos, files, settings...the list goes on and on. If your system crashes, I've got news for you: that stuff is gone for good! Now consider this: there's hundreds of millions of computer users out there, and 80% of them do NOT back their files up. Why? Because until now, backing everything up was a long and complicated process. You'd have to find specific things to back up, deal with directories, file extensions, etc. IF you were able to figure it out, there's no way you'd have the time to back up every single thing.

We spend a LOT of time on our plants - whether we're gardening outside or pampering our favorite indoor plants (more likely during this time of the year), it's something we love and cherish. Ever wonder why, despite your excellent care-taking skills, some of your favorite plants just don't make it?
Get accurate soil moisture readings, and adjust watering accordingly!
The meters on the face are simple to read, and it's color coded with blue, green and red (each telling you what they mean, too). The needle moves itself according to what your plant needs, and you can make ANY adjustments necessary to the soil, water or light!
You NEED an Outlet Multiplier!
Seriously, this thing couldn't be any easier to use:
