Desktop shortcuts can be extremely useful for doing common tasks like launching applications, opening commonly used folders, and pulling up your favorite websites, but few people take the time to use shortcuts for anything else.
As promised, today we'll be reviewing the iPhone 3G. Now that we've had it for about two weeks, we felt as though we could give an accurate and honest review. We'll cover what we think of the GPS, 3G data speeds, applications, the new firmware, and more...
On multiple occasions we have mentioned the fact that we use Flickr for our online photo storage and sharing solution. It's a great service that allows us to easily share our photos with family and friends, and we couldn't be happier with it.
About seven months ago we took a look at some of the headlines from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They're the real headlines that viewers send in which they find in newspapers across the country. There are so many funny headlines out there that we decided to put together a round two:
One of the things that I've always done on my Windows computers is have them show all of the hidden files. Some people think I'm crazy because this adds a lot more clutter, but it always seemed as though I frequently had to access files there were otherwise hidden.
The new Firefox 3 address bar is one of those things that you either love or hate, and it's quite amazing how much buzz such a simple aspect of the browser can cause.
Flickr is a photo sharing service that has around for over four years, and in that time it has grown at an astounding pace. Thousands of images are uploaded to Flickr every minute, and it was just last year that they had over two billion photos uploaded to their site. The good news is that with the increase in popularity also comes an increase in the number of free tools available.
Everyday many of us have to open various files on our computers whether they are documents, music, or photo files. It's something we do out of habit without even thinking, so you probably haven't really stopped to think about the process of browsing for files.
Our Weekend CyberNotes Articles originally started out as "Weekend Warrior." We wrote about all kinds of travel sites and things that would apply to what you do on the weekend. Eventually we ran out of ideas for that topic and switched to "Weekend Website" where we feature one site each weekend that's worth checking out. Today's compilation of our favorites will include articles from both themes.
Like our Monday CyberNotes articles that changed themes over time, our Friday articles changed as well. We originally started with "Free for All Fridays" and we focused on finding various services or software that were free for everybody. Eventually we switched and it's now "Fun Friday." With these articles, we try to find something fun or funny that we think our readers will enjoy.
On Thursdays we always try to walk you through how to do something, and over the years we have collected a rather large library of "how to" articles because of this. In fact one of my favorite articles of all-time happens to be a CyberNotes that I wrote for a tutorial. It's not that its a really popular article, but we've received a lot of "thank you's" from the people whom it has helped.
Judging by our site's stats Wednesdays tend to result in our most visited CyberNotes articles. On Wednesdays we try to cover tips and tricks for the various web browsers out there, and a majority of them focus on Firefox since well over 50% of our readers visit us with that browser.
Our Tuesday CyberNotes articles have always been a favorite of mine because they focus on applications and tips that can help make you more productive. For the most part everything that's featured in these articles is freeware, and that means almost all of our readers are able to take advantage of our tips.
As we mentioned yesterday, CyberNotes will be a little bit different this week. We're taking a look back at our favorite CyberNotes from each day and compiling them into a summary that you can browse through. First up are our Monday articles.
No matter where we go, there seem to be acronyms all around us whether its at work (some companies have their own long list of company-specific acronyms) or at home while you're browsing the web. A few acronyms I can think of off the top of my head that I've seen lately are RSVP, C/O, MRI, DNA, ASAP, BTW, and LOL.
It's the iPhone 3G Launch Day today and it wouldn't be complete without some humor! In about two hours (from the time this posts) at 8 AM, Apple and AT&T Stores in the U.S. will be opening their doors to all of the people willing to sign-up for a two-year contract.
One of the first things that I did when I got my new (and first) Mac is I started customizing different aspects of the Dock. There's actually a decent number of things that you can customize with the Dock by default, and it didn't take long for me to start finding out some tricks here and there.
