Using the wildcard * in your searches is very useful for finding results when you don’t know all the words of what you’re looking for, such as a quote. Try a search for “Four score and * years ago”A search can be placed in quotes to find that exact phrase. For instance, a search for Peter Paul and Mary Lyrics returns 1,060,000 results but “Peter Paul and Mary Lyrics” returns 504 results. But

This simple program is direct from Microsoft's website and takes only a couple of minutes to install and use.To download Tweak UI from microsoft click HERE. There are many more settings in Tweak UI than I am going to cover, so

We've all seen those Mac vs. Pc commercials and laughed at them. But if you're like me, a PC user, you've also noticed that the Mac is proud of having iTunes and listening to his iPod. Guess what!? You can download iTunes from Apple's site and iPods work just as well with PCs.If you've ever thought like this then you will laugh your butt off at this clip.

This is a video of the new Window Vista being run on an Apple MacBook. I have to say that I'm afraid Vista's ability to run on an Apple is the biggest improvement over Windows XP. My prediction is that Vista will be the last operating system that Microsoft releases in the traditional sense. With the internet today there really isn't anything in Vista that we can't already get with a simple search

Anytime I install a fresh copy of Windows XP or I create a new user there is one thing I do. It's probably the simplest tweak I do, but it's also one of the most effective at speeding up EVERYTHING in Windows. This tweak only cost you 5% of Windows visual appearance. It's so unnoticable that you will only know something has changed because you changed it. Ok, on with the tweak:1.Click StartRight

I recently bought a Logitech M1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. I had previously had a cordless, optical Logitech mouse and after a few years I just plain wore it out. I consistently buy Logitech products because they always work well for me. I also have Logitech X-230 2.1 speakers.The mouse had one huge feature that sold me on it. It has a charging station. Changing the batteries in my old mouse was a

It's not that I didn't want an outlet for my thoughts; I just never had much direction. I decided to start a new blog and was racking my brain for ideas and coming up empty, until last night. I was talking with a group of friends out in a driveway at 4:00 in the
