My Pebble arrived recently and I was quite bummed that it did not seem pairable with my HTC EVO 4G LTE 🙁 Thankfully, after a bit of experimentation, I was able to pair the two lovely devices. Here is how: #1 Make sure Bluetooth is ‘on’ for both devices #2 Go to the Bluetooth pairing screen on the EVO and choose, Menu -> Search for devices #3 You should see a screen similar to the one below: #4 Choose ‘Pair’
The Q200E is a great little laptop that is generally available for about $449 at Best Buy. The Q200e and the other similar models sold elsewhere (X202E, S200E) are definitely one of the best touchscreen Windows 8 laptop options out there! Unfortunately, they are all shipped with a relatively slow hard drive and the RAM is soldered in. The only other thing the Q200E is lacking is Bluetooth 🙁 EASY PERFORMANCE UPGRADES: You can now replace the slow hard drive
When doing taxes or any other task requiring document comparison, it can be very handy to view PDFs side-by-side. Unfortunately, many PDF readers today (including Foxit Reader) default to opening PDFs in tabs and you cannot ‘pull’ a tab out to make a new window. However, there is a simple workaround: open multiple instances of Foxit Reader and then open (or drag/drop) your files to whichever Foxit window you want. 🙂 First though, you need to do is enable the ‘Allow

While using the internal search feature on my blog recently, I realized how worthless it was. As an example, searching for ‘exede review‘ came up with a bunch of mildly relevant results but by far the most relevant search result was on the second page. Not good. 🙁 Default WordPress search stinks The reason this happened is that by default WordPress sorts search results by date. So if you happen to have some recent posts that contain a keyword, they will
Intro The Acer Aspire V3-771G is a very capable 17.3″ laptop that can often be found for a bargain price if you shop around. However, one of the nicest features about this laptop is its extreme upgradeability. It is an easy machine to work on and with a small amount of work you can have up to 32GB of RAM and dual SSDs (or hard drives). 🙂 For a non workstation machine, this amount of upgradeability is quite rare!

It has been unbelievably hard to use such a groundbreaking product as Gmail Blue and not be able to tell the world about it. Now that the NDA has been lifted, I can finally talk a little about Gmail Blue. Before the full review and benchmarks, which I am sure many other sites will have as well, I feel a word of warning is in order: +Sure, I love Gmail Blue. It really is light years ahead of the competition. Nobody else has that much Blue. Period. -So what
Recently Amazon has started posting notices like this one on some of its product listing: External token bounce back credit offer What exactly is that?!
