Recycle Old Cartridges for $$$ If you are like me, few things depress you more than having to buy new ink cartridges. The cost per cartridge goes down if you have a printer that has separate ink cartridges for each color, but wouldn't it be great if you could turn those old cartridges in for recycling and get some money off your new ink? Popular office supply stores OfficeMax and Staples both offer a cartridge recycling program where you can turn in old non-damaged cartridge for a $2.00 back in rewards per cartridge. There are limits to how many you can turn in and of what type, so check out the full program details below. OfficeMax Recycling Program Details Staples Recycling Program Details Thanks to Daniel Bienenfeld, one of our readers, for sending in this great tip on how to recycle and get something for it! ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version ---

~ Steve Stop Getting Caught in the Deadzone! WiFi is Supposed to be Convenient It Shouldn't Require a Recon Mission... Just to Find a Network! Meet your New Best Friend One Button to Find the Best Hotspot Never Setup Without WiFi Again! WiFi seems to be everywhere nowadays... until you need it! Whether you're traveling or just trying to figure out your own home's WiFi access, it can be a pain to locate signals. The hunt is over. All you need is one of these little guys in your pocket and you're always prepared to find the strongest WiFi access around. Seriously, just compare your options here. You can pull out your laptop, notebook, or netbook, turn it on, wait for it to boot up, stare at it while it locates available networks, and pray that it finds something you can use. Well, that's great if it finds something, otherwise you gotta carry your laptop around trying not to knock everything over or just pack up and try against elsewhere. Or, you could just pop out your WiFi detector, press the button, and... that's it. You'll know if you should set up here or keep movin'. No wasting time, no maneuvering around a coffee shop with your open notebook. The lights on the front clearly indicate the level of signal you get wherever you are. Perfect spots are just a button away. The convenience is amazing, but you'll really appreciate it when you're pressed for time. Airports, around the office, even out and about town, you'll know right where to stop. Perfect for home, too! Test your house to see what rooms get the most connectivity. Great for configuring a new setup or just putting your current one through the paces. You won't need a detector to find the best price though, because you're already at Worldstart!

William Lynn from VA. writes: I use Vista and my free games that came on my computer disappeared. They just are not available anymore. I had shortcuts for Spyder, Free cell and solitaire on my desktop. Can you help me get them back? Hi, William. Thanks for the excellent question. My sister-in-law had a similar problem, so it's my pleasure to help you with this. Somehow your games have become hidden. You didn't mention if you recently installed any new programs or did anything with your hard drive, but I have heard complaints of certain freeware game and shortcut applications hiding the games. I'm not sure why, but it is a problem. Here's how you get them back… Click Start and then Control Panel. The images that I'm putting here are from my Windows 7 computer, but the procedure is almost the same for Vista. In the Vista control panel, click on Classic View, then Programs and Features, then Turn Windows Features On or Off. In 7, click on Programs, and then, under the Programs and features header, click Turn Windows Features On or Off. This will give you a list of Windows features that you can activate or deactivate, including your games. If the square box is highlighted, like the .NET Framework box here (circled in the picture) then that means that some of the features are turned on and some aren't. Click on the "+" next to the box to view an expanded list. If the checkbox next to Games is empty, that means no games are selected, and if you want all of them back, simply check this box. If there's a check in the box, that means that all of the games are selected, and something else has happened to them. Once you've expanded the Games list, simply put a check in the box for the games that you want. I 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 Explore.com, there is always something interesting to read, see, hear, or watch. With that said, I'd like to welcome you to a fabulous Explore article featuring a video called "A History of RocknRoll in 100 Riffs in a Single Take". Navigation is very easy – just click play on the video to hear the guitarist Alex from Chicago Music Exchange play the riff. Do watch this when you have time, however – the video is over twelve minutes long. Beneath the video you'll find the listing of riffs played in the video in chronological order. I had fun listening through the first time with the video playing in the background (minimized) and it was interesting to see how many I recognized. If you watch the video the riffs are counted off in the lower right corner, as well as listed below the video. That's all there is to it! Listen and enjoy! http://exp.lore.com/post/26356983141/a-history-of-rocknroll-in-100-riffs-in-a-single ~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've built up a pretty impressive collection of music over the years... it's too bad you can't listen to it now.
