Finding Your Android’s Storage Hog

Filed under: Main — Tags: — admin @ 12:01 am

I’ve not seen it on any of my Android devices, but apparently there’s an error message. It reads, “Insufficient storage available.” That reminds me of the old MEM error message that appeared in Lotus 1-2-3.

iOS 7 Makes People Vomit

Filed under: News — admin @ 8:14 am

Complaints abound that Apple’s latest mobile operating system is inducing vertigo and nausea in users, specifically its onscreen animations.

I’ve seen the upgrade on an iPad. The home screen icons shimmy left and right as you turn the tablet. It’s an interesting 3D effect, but I can see how it would nauseate people. It’s probably the same sensation I feel with Samsung’s highly-annoying Whistle notification sound. Sheesh, talking about driving people nuts.

Stop The Killer Robots!

Filed under: News — admin @ 8:48 am

This post’s title is making light of what I think is an important issue: As technology leaps forward, when will mankind retain the wisdom not to empower non-living things with sentient abilities, such as to discern what to kill?

Autonomous killer robots are real. More are coming every day. The technology to create these things isn’t the issue. As with all technology, the relevant question isn’t whether we can do a thing but do we need to do a thing?

I know I joke about the robot apocalypse. I hope you chuckle every time you read it, but it’s a very serious possibility.

Google’s stock poked above $1000/share last week as its advertising revenue peaked. Wall Street’s reaction was a little insane, which isn’t news, of course. But pumping up a $900 stock to $1000 does seem to pique curiosity and interest.

Google Stock Hits $1000

Filed under: News — admin @ 10:40 am

Holy Smokes! Google’s stock (GOOG) just jumped up 10% today to leapfrog over the $1000 mark. It’s one of a handful of stocks to reach that goal.

GOOG was introduced at $100 a share many moons ago. It’s never looked back.

Today’s jump reflects positive ad click sales. And it’s driving up the Wambooli Tech Stock Index something fierce.

Word File Management

Filed under: Main — Tags: — admin @ 12:01 am

ma01-Word Document Icon My Word For Dummies books don’t cover the topic of file management. If they did, I’d have less room in the book to write about word processing, which is kind of important. File management remains a valid topic, however, so I thought I’d show you some Word file management tricks in this post.
