Have you ever been at your computer or on a mobile device and needed a good calculator? Of course there is Windows built-in calculator, but now there is also a great option from Google. If you search Google for the term "calculator", you will be presented with this: Functions are supported include adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, sine, cosine, tangent, root, square, pi and many more. Google is rumored to be working on a graphing calculator version of this free calculator. One really fantastic feature is you can type in an entire equation into the calculator before hitting equal. For example: (2*(8*(1/4))/7)^3 would normally have to be done on a normal calculator in at least 4 steps, but on the Google calculator you just type it in as written, click = and you get the answer! For those of you who've forgotten this kind of math, it would be:

The Differences Between Laser and Inkjet Printers Anyone looking to buy a new printer for his or her home or business is faced with two main options: laser or inkjet. Although in the past, laser printers were much too costly to serve as home printers, prices have started to fall, making both inkjet and laser printers a viable option for all computer users. Before deciding between a laser and an inkjet printer, it is important to understand the differences between the two technologies and how they will affect your printing and your bottom line. Printing Mechanism The main difference between laser and inkjet printers is the mechanism used to get the images and text on the paper. Inkjet printers spray ink onto the paper to reproduce text and images whereas laser printers use a more complicated method. A laser printer produces a backward image of the page to be printed on a cylinder using a laser. The laser leaves behind a slight electrical charge on the cylinder or drum wherever it hits. The cylinder is then exposed to toner, which is attracted to the electrical charge. As the paper passes through the printer it receives a small charge, which attracts the toner from the cylinder. Once the toner is on the paper, the paper passes through a roller that heats the toner and melts it onto the paper. Print Quality Print quality is one of the major differences users will notice. Laser printers produce crisp, clear type and images, and are better at printing type and images without leaving fuzzy edges. Because inkjet printers spray tiny droplets of ink onto the paper, there is a greater chance that documents printed with an inkjet printer will have fuzzy edges. Also, if pages are touched before they are allowed to completely dry, the ink may smear. Although laser printers typically print at higher resolutions than inkjet printers, some of the higher end inkjet printers are capable of producing crisp text and images comparable to those printed with a laser printer. Another consideration when comparing the quality of printing between inkjet and laser printers is the paper used. Laser printers will produce clear images on any type of paper, while paper specifically manufactured for inkjet printers is recommended if you want clear prints without fuzzy edges using an inkjet printer. Speed Laser printers spit out prints much faster than inkjet printers, often producing more than 15 pages per minute depending on the brand and quality of the laser printer. Most inkjet printers offer a draft mode, which is quicker than a high quality print, but the images and type are usually faint when using draft mode. Using standard print settings requires inkjet printers to apply more ink to each line of the page, which increases the print time. While the speed of a printer may not be of much importance to home printer users, many businesses use their printers quite a bit, so print speed is an important fact. Cost Although it's possible to purchase a laser printer for about the same price as some of the inkjet printers on the market, buyers should consider the total cost of purchasing and operating the printer before making a decision on which type of printer to purchase. Buyers should price out ink or toner cartridges as well as any special paper that is needed to determine which type of printer is the most cost effective. Although inkjet cartridges are usually less expensive than toner cartridges, they also contain less ink, which means you'll have to purchase more inkjet cartridges than toner cartridges to print the same amount of pieces. If you're looking for crisp, clear prints using an inkjet printer, you'll also need to factor in the price difference between regular printer paper and specialty inkjet paper. Hope this helps you figure out which printer is right for you! ~Chad Stetson Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Google Translate Mobile When I'm not boring WorldStart readers with occasionally uninformed software advice, I work at a hardware store in a small Midwestern town, boring customers with occasionally uninformed hardware advice. While our town doesn't provide the level of diversity found in large urban centers, for several of our customers, English is a second language, and a few speak no English at all. Consequently, as someone barely fluent in English, and only able to converse in what little Spanish I gleaned in my Mesozoic era high school (most long since forgotten), I welcomed the Google Translate app, which translates text between more than 60 languages, and offers spoken word translations for many of them. For a text translation, type a word or phrase into the field or, for a spoken translation, tap the microphone button (when spoken translation is available, it's found below the text field) and speak clearly into the device. The spoken word translation is particularly handy for languages using characters not available on an English keyboard. Read the rest here! (Want these tips in their entirety? Sign up for Premium!)
Applying Options in MS Office When you're in the Options dialog box for one of these newest MS Office programs, have you ever noticed this part of a section header?

Brought to you by The Edison Innovation Foundation, you'll need Flash in order to view this site, but it is completely worth it for the interactive experience. Navigation is interesting on this site when the page loads you're presented with a circular navigation menu. As you mouse over the menu in the center the ring on the outside moves, presenting you with different quotes from Edison. If you click the light bulb it will change the color of the page from dark blue to grey. Clicking the e button on any page will return you to the main circular menu. The featured sections are Our Foundation, Why Edison Matters Today, Educational Programs, Edison's Life, and Donate. Then in tinier print around the circle is a timeline of Edison's work. Starting above the Our Foundation area and wrapping around to under the Donate area, ranging from 1868 to 1901. When you mouse over them you'll see the name of the project, the date, and a link to save a .PDF of the invention. Save the .PDF to an easy to find location like your desktop and then open it to view it. It was really cool to see the patent documents with image and explanations of the inventions. This is a great site devoted to Edison's life, inventions, and the promotion of inventors today.
