Long, long overdue that someone should regulate some of the illegal activities that Google is up to. Google's main business now is collecting information on all it's users on behalf of the NSA whilst keeping them stupified with media hype and trivia bunk. Get rid of "Android" (i.e. Google under...

Installation routine executable files (e.g. for the extraction of files from a compressed archive and subsequent installation onto a computer - placing files into appropriate folders) are normally part of an installation progrmming application. For example "Install Shield"...

Doesn't your scanner come with software to edit and save your scans (to wherever you want)? A web browser would only be initialised if you selected it to open files of that type or you have no default program for opening the scanned files. You should select to save your scans to a common format...

Are you using the Microsoft OSK ? (Just go to start / search and type in On-Screen Keyboard. On screen keyboards never feel like a 'real' keyboard. You can always plug in an external USB keyboard

Canon 70D is an excellent choice. You can also now find the 60D secondhand very cheaply and it too is an excellent buy. Many semi-pro video shoots have been done with this camera. If you want to increase your budget and be more future proof check out the formiddable Lumix GH4

"does not guarantee your carrier will not find out" Who gives a f*** what "carriers" find out ?????!!! What I do with MY phone that I have bought and paid for in full is entirely up to me and me only. I do not ALLOW any third party to tell me what to do with MY possessions. 1) Don't buy shit...

Why would any sane person want to replace the excellent Samsung OS on the S5230 with the crap Android OS which blocks you from using your own phone without signing in to a Google account and obtaining THEIR authority before you can do anything with your own phone? Wake up! I have recently found...

However ~ all disks are now obsolete. Throw them all away :) As 4k UHD is introduced (LG and Sony have already released a UHD 84" TV in the USA) higher file sizes will demand D-Cinema (q.v.) direct download. Who wants to buy a disk which can only be played in your own area and has loads and...

If you have VLC media player then you can stream YouTube videos directly by-passing the You Tube display AND cutting out all the ads and pre-video ads !! Open VLC, click Media > select "Open Network Steam" then paste the YouTube URL into the box.... If you are trying to view UHD or 4k videos...
