    Handiest of Handy Tools

    This little screwdriver set is the best one I have ever had. Seriously. I needed to dissect a dead harddrive and needed a star shaped screwdriver. I could have gotten a just a set of those (for more money) but grabbed this set instead even though I already had the flat and the cross heads.…

  • Looking to Buy Comics Online Try NewKadia.com

  • Take Control of Your Digital Library with Epubor

    Tired of DRM (digital rights management) controlling  how and where you use the ebooks you have purchased with your own hard earned money? You need DRM removal software.

  • Stay Away From Fields Data Recovery

    Two months ago I had one of the worst things happen. A failed hard drive. One that contained my entire music collection and photos from the past 15 years. All gone.

  • Problems With Copies of Images Being Automatically Generated in WordPress

    I have this problem that I just noticed, but it appears to have been going on for a few years now (you’ll see the screen grabs I have show files back in 2011). And it is happening on most, but not all, of my WordPress sites. Images are being mysteriously copied into a new upload…

    Ever come home to find your cat on your PC? I don’t know why but mine have always been draw to it. Abby here always had to be on my lap or in this case on my laptop, whenever I worked on my computer. But cats walking across a keyboard can actually be dangerous. Not…

  • I Gots Ideas in My Head

    That’s right I gots ideas in my head and I want to get the out. Problem is they appear there while I am driving. And I always lose the idea / thought once I reach my destination. Sucks to be me. So I tried Dragon Dictation for my iPhone (see the last two days). I…

  • Dragon Dictation iPhone/iPad App

    Ok now I am really confused. I went to iTunes to leave a review and it told me I did not have the Dragon app on my phone. I just used it, or rather tried to use it, and could see it right there. So I removed it and reloaded it. It came back up…

  • Dictation Software for iPhone

    I just loaded Dragon Dictation on my iPhone. First of all, I thought Dragon was supposed to be the leader in speech to text technology, so why then does their app for the iPhone suck so bad? It would not pick up anything I said at first kept giving me an error message…try again. Again?…
