I had a wonderful trip through hell on my first encounter with Windows 10, but the bad thing is that the problems just kept on coming. And they still are. I’m currently writing this article on a Windows 10 PC and who knows what could happen as I’m doing so. Ethernet Driver Issues Let’s start with something I thought wasn’t Windows’ fault, but turned out to be one — Ethernet....
How Much Have I Paid for Apps On My Android? Note: This app is no longer available. However, you might want to try out Purchased Apps (Reinstall Your Paid Apps and Games). It has a similar feature and a lot more. First, start by installing My Paid Apps (link below). Fire it up, and it will ask you to give it full access to your Google Account. It will only use it to get the information you want, and it doesn’t store your data....
Firefox for Windows 8 Touch Beta First download Firefox for Windows 8 Touch Beta. What’s interesting is you don’t install it from the Windows store, but instead download and install an executable file. And yes, that means you can’t get it on touch devices running Windows RT. Before installing it, make sure you have any other instance of Firefox that’s running closed. Otherwise you’ll see the message below. After Firefox is installed, you’ll see you still have the typical desktop version as well as a Firefox tile on the Windows 8....

In today’s broadband and mobile Internet age, 90% of the work you do on a computer involves the Internet. This fact makes using different browsers sometimes necessary since there is always a browser that is better at one thing and worse at another. When hearing “Browser” or “Internet” what do you think of first? My guess would be Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari or Firefox. But what about the less popular browsers that don’t have the user base to make such an impression and reach the top 5?...
Start Menu Improvements in Windows 10 Anniversary Update The Anniversary Update continues to build on the improvements by providing more balance for users on a 2 in 1 Surface or other Tabet. Start feels right at home whether you’re using Touch or a Mouse/Trackpad to interact with the menu system. Tablet mode, which activates a full-screen Start menu is still around but is starting to feel a bit redundant. Personally, not a fan (as you can tell…) Launching the Start menu in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update; the first thing you will notice is the All Apps menu has been dropped and instead defaults to display your application library....
Glitch is the highly-anticipated online game from the TinySpeck.com, creators of the famed photo sharing site, Flickr. Over this last weekend, the still-in-development game hosted an Alpha test for selected invitees. One on our team was lucky enough to gain access to a coveted invitation-only spot, and we enjoyed the game so much we figured it was worth a sneak-peek review. So, if you’re dying to see what this game is about, look no further –at least until they update it again....
One of my favorite things about Outlook is the reading pane. Emails can be opened instantly and switched around quickly. With Gmail, each message has to be opened individually or in a new window/tab. Sure, Gmail isn’t exactly “slow” but with this new lab feature it can be even faster. Additionally, if you have a wide-screen monitor now you can make use of some otherwise unused space. If you use Outlook on a regular basis, you are probably already used to having your emails listed and then viewed in an adjacent box....

Google, with its somewhat successful (not really) launch of the Chrome internet browser, has just made it publicly known they intend to enter Microsoft’s realm with Chrome OS. The operating system is scheduled for release mid-2010. Interestingly enough, they will be releasing the source code later this year. The good news for Microsoft is that development has only been connected to Netbook laptops so far. But Google does plan on running this OS on Desktops as soon as possible, and it’s free along with the open-source code....
The Google Apps user administration tool solves the problem by allowing you to suspend an account vs. deleting it. Once suspended, the account can no longer log into new email or calendar invites. It will all be blocked. Here’s how to suspend an account in Google Apps. Log in to the Google Apps Administration Dashboard and click the Organization & Users tab. Click the user you wish to suspend....
Free QuickOffice Google acquired Quickoffice a year ago and is offering this promotion in hopes of competing with Microsoft Office Mobile 365. Android users can get the app for free in the Google Play Store, and so can iOS users – it’s available in the iTunes store. The app can be used to edit and create Microsoft Office documents, spreadsheets and presentations on your mobile device, be it a smartphone or tablet....

Removed Windows Features Groove Music Pass is one that we knew was getting the ax in October of last year. If you were one of the few who did subscribe (yours truly included) should have already transferred Groove Music Pass playlists to Spotify. You can still use the Groove Music app to play you own locally stored music and that also includes any tunes stored on OneDrive, too. HomeGroup which was introduced with Windows 7 is a Windows folder and printer sharing feature, however, it is no longer in this version of Windows....
Terminate Unresponsive Apps in Settings Typically, when an app isn’t responding, and the window won’t close, you would hit Ctrl + Alt + Del to launch Task Manager, right-click the offending app and choose to end task. While that still works, Microsoft has added the same functionality to the Settings app. Head to Settings > Apps > Apps & features. Click on the offending app and choose Advanced options and then click the Terminate button....
For a more technical understanding of port forwarding, it helps to understand how your home network communicates with the Internet. If you don’t care about all that, feel free to skip to How to Forward Ports on your Router. IP Addresses and Network Address Translation (NAT) Every device connected to the Internet has its own IP address. This IP address is used so a server knows which device to send information (“packets”) to....
Most music sticks to a 4/4 pattern. It’s easy to construct around, and it’s really just the easiest one for the listener to follow. You can write in any time signature you want, but 4/4 is the most common. It just means there are four kicks on every bar. For our example, we are going to use Logic Pro. It’s the DAW (digital audio workstation) I use at home. Most DAWs have similar functions....
