Gadgets these days don't come cheap, so when one of them stops working, not only is is frustrating, it could be expensive to replace. CNN put together a great article on how you can extend the life of some of your gadgets, and I thought parts of it were definitely worth highlighting here. You can read the entire article from CNN here. So how can you extend the life of your gadgets?
It seems like I've been getting an unusually large number of phishing emails lately, and I've began wondering whether everyone realizes how they can report phishing emails with their email provider. This article will highlight what phishing is, and why/how to properly report it.
Black Friday has already come and gone which means that it's officially shopping season. Some of you have already spent some time trying to figure out what to buy friends and family which can be one of the most difficult tasks this time of year.
Application launchers are such time savers that we've made it our quest to cover all of the best ones. There's another one that I thought would appeal to many of you because of the small memory footprint (under 4MB) and the extremely simple interface. It's called Faster Than Ever, or FTE for short.
There are a lot of features on the computer that we use everyday without ever knowing where they were derived from. So we thought it would be fun to give you a brief history lesson so that you can appreciate even the simplest features on your computer!

Do you remember when you played Pacman how you could go off the edge of the screen, and almost magically you would popup on the other side? You can setup your computer mouse to do the same sort of thing. When you touch one edge of the screen it automatically jumps over to the other side.
Back in October Google's Vice President of search products, Marissa Mayer, said that less than 1% of Google's visitors use the I'm Feeling Lucky button. I wasn't surprised to hear that it was used that little, but despite being such a small percentage it still has a big impact on Google.

It comes with the same great features as before, except they've added a few additional features that make it even better. You can get the new Uploadr here.
