| What Is Net Neutrality & Why Should I Care? Posted: 17 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT  Let’s imagine something. Let’s say that you’re a town planner, working for the city where you live. Your city has an issue with congestion. Large, 18-wheeler trucks drive in, and they get stuck. Lanes get blocked up, and eventually, all motor vehicles are moving at a pace as slow as cold molasses. Being the smart individual you are, you decide to route all of the large trucks through slower, less convenient routes. However, you decide that should they wish to use the fast paths, they can do so provided that they pay up. What if we applied this analogy to...

| Snapzoom Scope Mount Review and Giveaway Posted: 17 Apr 2014 11:30 AM PDT  Smartphone cameras are replacing regular cameras. Unless you’re a professional photographer or a real enthusiast, you’re probably not walking around with an actual camera. You may have even given it up on trips and events — smartphones are light, portable and easy to carry around, so why bother? One significant difference comes to play when you want to zoom in on things. Smartphones only offer digital zoom, which usually reduces the image quality. In fact, on most smartphones, even zooming in a bit will result in a somewhat blurry photo. Want to shoot something that’s really far away? Good luck...

| Let Your iPhone Manage Your Groceries With These Apps Posted: 17 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT  There’s little reason to create grocery lists on paper or in notebook apps like Evernote when you can shop smartly by using a dedicated shopping list manager on the iPhone.

| Multiple Ways To Capture Or Print What You See On Your Screen Posted: 17 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Print Screen is a term that lost its original meaning decades ago. Back in the MS-DOS era, before computers had graphical user interfaces, the Print Screen key would indeed send the contents of the current screen to the printer. Today, the Print Screen button triggers a screenshot, meaning it captures a still of your screen and temporarily stores it in the clipboard. Actually printing a screenshot takes a few more steps. In return, this offers opportunities for editing and optimizing the image. Combine that with shortcuts and third party software and you have a powerful tool of the 21st century...

| Office Online Tries To Push Google Docs Aside On Chrome Posted: 17 Apr 2014 07:30 AM PDT  Microsoft is starting to frequently jump onto other operating systems with their products lately. First they brought Office onto the iPad after a long wait, and now they have put Office Online in the Chrome Web Store. Right now, these Chrome extensions consist of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, OneDrive, and OneNote. So bad news so far to all Access and Publisher fans.
