In The News 07-13-2012 Windows 8 Release Date Announced (Sorta…) Windows announced on Monday that Windows 8 will finally land near the end of October. The new tablet Sruface will also go on sale at that time. That means we have less than 4 months (!) until Window's biggest operating system update since Windows 95 was released. The release date was always said to be in the fall, but up until Monday that was about as specific as the date got. Windows 8 hitting store shelves will be sure to cause a stir with its new "Metro" interface, which replaces the traditional start menu. Microsoft's Surface, their first tablet designed in house, will also be released at the same time. The 7″ tablet will jump into a market and will compete directly with Google's recently announced Nexus 7 tablet, as well as the established Kindle Fire. October looks to be a big time in the tech world, especially with brand new designs and interfaces, as many people believe that is the month Apple will finally release its iPhone 5. Speaking of Apple… Aw… But Green Apple Is My Favorite Flavor! Looks like Apple is doing the opposite of "going green". In fact, the tech giant announced this week that it will be dropping out of EPEAT, an environmental certification program for electronics. Why are they dropping out? It's all in the name of design. Apple stated that their design direction was no longer consistent with EPEAT requirements, according to EPEAT's CEO Robert Frisbee. Many point to the new Retina Displays found in in the new MacBook Pro as being the main culprit. The laptops are not easily recyclable due to the batteries being glued to the case. The whole device is difficult to disassemble and recycle. Dropping from the side of going green may have some serious consequences as well. Currently U.S. law states that 95% of electronics purchases by federal agencies need to be EPEAT compliant. This means, at a maximum, only 5% of computers bought by these agencies can be Apple products. This number does exclude tablets and phones however, so the iPhone and iPad are not affected. -Mike Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Lynn King from IL writes: How do I find my chkdsk utility and how do I schedule a check for errors? I have Windows Vista. Hi, Lynn. Thanks for the great question. Running the chkdsk utility in either Windows Vista or 7 is pretty easy. To begin with, click the "start" button, and then "computer". Right-click on the drive that you want to scan, and then click on "properties". This will open up the drive's properties dialogue window. Click on the "tools" tab and then on "check now" under error checking. Once you click "Check Now", a dialogue box will come up giving you the option of automatically repairing errors, as well as one that will look for and try to fix bad sectors on the disc. These are sectors containing information that can't be read. If the sector is bad due to corrupt data, then it can be recovered. If it's bad due to a hardware problem, such as damage to the disk surface, then it can't. It's a good idea to click both boxes. Once you click "start", you will be prompted to reboot your machine. Once you do, the disk check will start. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the speed of your machine, this could take anywhere from ten or fifteen minutes to a couple of hours to complete. Be patient. Allow your machine the time to do this. Go make a sandwich and watch "Being Human" or something. Once it's done, you'll have a happier, healthier machine. Hope that this helps! ~Randal Schaffer Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!

I love this site so much that I almost don't know where to begin talking about it. I found it while looking for some information on Carol Burnett, and then I discovered a treasure trove of videos from women of all walks of life who have left an indelible impact on the world around them. These are fascinating women who have been interviewed about their life experiences and asked really good questions to answer in their interview. You'll find women in government, politics, humanitarian pursuits, fashion, theater, dance, sports, movies, science, television, journalism and business. (And that's just a few of the categories I could think of to list.) I want to warn you that this site can be time consuming because you may find yourself wrapped up in watching the videos, I don't want to say this site is a time waster because you'll leave it so enriched that it could never be a waste. To look at all the videos you can pick from just select Browse and then scroll down the page, or you can filter them by category, most viewed, latest, and Simple selects. But perhaps the best advice I can give you for navigation is to dive in (there are a ton of featured videos right on the main page to check out), but if you want a fun way to view the videos during your visit click Moments at the top. Then select from the traits (you can pick more than one) that inspire you and then click go, and it will present you with videos that embody those traits. No matter how you choose to view them, dive, and enjoy the videos. ~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 Special Announcement!

WorldStart Tech Tips 2012-07-13
Most important first, right? So yes, this router is 802.11 N compatible. The newest and fastest type currently available on the market. But there's something that REALLY sets this one apart from the others.
This is about to blow your mind! On the back of this router, you'll find 2 USB ports. Go ahead and connect a flash drive, a hard drive, a printer - whatever - and this will share it with all computers running on that network!
802.11 N access - 300 Mbps Transfer Rates - As good as it gets!
Ever have a hard drive crash? Ever lost your favorite photos, music, or important documents? It's a disaster! 
And don't worry, just because this is USB 3.0 compatible doesn't mean you have to have that compatibility. 
This allows you to use an existing SATA drive from either an old laptop or desktop computer - 
"PLEASE, I'm beggin' ya - GET RID OF THE LONG ADS IN THE NEWSLETTERS!!"
How would you like to save an average of 15% off on EVERY product in our WorldStart Online Store?
