I’ve been using WebnoteHappy for the Mac for a few weeks and love it. I’m always surfing the Internet researching things and have tried various ways of capturing content on web pages that I visit and want to remember. The common way to do that is with your browser’s bookmark feature. I used that for a while but wasn’t happy
I’m a long time XM Radio customer, starting over five years ago with a $9.95/month plan. Since the merger with Sirius, I’ve seen my plan increase to $12.95/month. A few days ago I received an “Important Information About Your XM” email from XM Radio saying that my monthly rate will increase by $1.98/month for a “U.S. Music Royalty Fee.” (I guess they didn’t make it $2.00 because they thought I would notice the increase.) So, now it will cost almost $15/month for a service that has increased 50% over the past five years. This is after the merger with Sirius that was going to make the service more affordable for everyone.

Lenovo has taken a huge, and risky, step, by making radical changes to the keyboard layouts on its latest line of business-end laptops, the ThinkPad T400. They spent a year researching what keys people use, and how, to try and come up with a layout that will make the most-used keys accessible and easier to use. The keys they moved
Surfing around on a quiet summer afternoon, and I ran across this little tidbit. Toyota Motors, famous mostly for Corollas and Four-Runners, has discovered a way to instantly transmit some commands via brain cells to a powered wheelchair. This technology already exists in one form from Honda researchers, but the difference with the new advances by Toyota is that commands
How about you sell your new operating system for under $50? I'll bet you'll make as much or more money than selling it for $300 a pop. Really, I think so! The main reason I've not upgraded my personal laptop from XP is not because the hardware can't handle it. The reason is that I do not want to pay

The feed reader you use is a very personal decision, I prefer Feedly which is a Firefox add on. I like its interface and how it works. However it does have one weakness and that is it can only be used on Firefox and Flock. This meant I needed to find a new solution for my Iphone. My solution is
