It not surprising that it’s a problem – Google have made the process of deleting old devices frustratingly opaque in their online help documents. It’s certainly strange that it’s not clear how to remove out-dated devices; with the rate that users buy new tablets, smart phones and laptops it is easily possible to have several devices listed if you are a long-time Chrome user.

How to Use Remote Access Efficiently, Safely & Securely Posted: 14 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT Remote access is, to define it simply, the ability to access your personal computer without the need to sit in front of it. Remote Desktop Connection is one of Windows’ most impressive features, but few people make use of it. It can be tricky to set up, which might put some people off, but the effort is worth it. Once you have set up your remote access tool, you can open all of your computer’s files and programs remotely, i.e. from another device. You don’t even have to be within the same building. You can be on the other side... Read the full article: How to Use Remote Access Efficiently, Safely & Securely

Tear Off The Calendar: 4 Other Approaches To Time Management Posted: 14 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT If “I don’t have enough time” is your constant refrain, you need to change tack and adopt a new, more efficient approach to time management.

Most Important Task(s) Or MIT How relieved would you be if the toughest part of your day was... Read the full article: Tear Off The Calendar: 4 Other Approaches To Time Management

Facebook Is Bringing WiFi To The Masses With Drones Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:30 AM PDT Almost two thirds of the world’s population lack Internet access. Many of those people live in areas where traditional broadband services are unaffordable, or unavailable. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg seems eager to address this very real inequality with autonomous drones that will provide free Internet access. The drones – announced at the Social Good Summit in New York City – will be the size of a commercial airliner like the Boeing 747, but will be much, much lighter, weighing roughly the same as four car tires. They’ll also be environmentally friendly; taking advantage of solar power to run indefinitely. Facebook... Read the full article: Facebook Is Bringing WiFi To The Masses With Drones

Xbox 360 RRoD X-Clamp Fix – Does It Work? Posted: 14 Oct 2014 07:00 AM PDT The Red Ring of Death fault on Xbox 360 devices hasn’t gone away. Second hand consoles built before 2009 and bought on eBay or pawn shops or even those that got put at the back of a cupboard in favour of a PS3 still have the problem. But it gets worse: later devices including those with the remodelled slimmer cases, are also susceptible (although the RROD itself has gone, replaced with a single red light on the power button). Using the Xbox Kinect can also contribute to the fault. Microsoft’s warranty is for just one year, and even at the... Read the full article: Xbox 360 RRoD X-Clamp Fix – Does It Work?
