You’re a busy person. We can relate. And chances are you don’t have time to read every web article you’d like when you first come across it. Sure, you could email yourself the link, or hope you remember to go back to the article later, but with Instapaper and one-click, your article choices are easily stored for later, when you do have time, with a ‘Read later’ bookmark.
Better yet, Instapaper can be a read on your computer, on paper, on your iPhone, ipad or iPod, or delivered to your Kindle in a magazine format.
This brief YouTube video shows how to set up your Instapaper account. Create a free account to get started!
Access your photos, documents and videos anywhere using Dropbox. With Dropbox you get 2GB of free storage that allows you to synchronize files between multiple computers and mobile devices. Securely view, download, and uploads files from any web browser.
Dropbox is a program that lets you upload files from your computer to a cloud based storage area for offsite backups. On your PC it creates a shared folder, and anything you put in that folder is automatically synced to the web. Inside of there is a folder called Public, and for every file in there, you can get a URL directly to that file, so if you want to share a picture or something with people you can put it in the Public folder and then get a URL you can give to everyone.
There are also apps for any Apple and Android devices, so it’s very easy to upload things like pics or other files from your phone or tablet, and you can download any files to any device as well. It makes it very easy to access your files from any device you might be using. You can also login to a web page and access your files that way, in case you’re on someone else’s PC and they don’t have the program installed.
With Dropbox:
Send pictures currently stored on your computer to a cell phone user at no-charge, and without any fuss.

Even iPhone users on AT&T can use PixDrop at no-charge!
Simply select the recipient’s mobile carrier and enter the mobile number. Browse for the desired photo and hit ‘Send’. Your archived PC photos just got their groove back. Give it a try! No registration necessary. Currently works in the US and Canada only.
Android users can also download the app for $1.99 here to avoid MMS charges. Apples users can download the app here for $2.99

A tool so cool, even WE use it!
It is the easiest, fastest way to install or update your favorite software. Period.
At Applied Tech we pay for a business version, Ninite Pro, but the average user can get it free and, as “the How-to-Geek” says, it’s so easy “even Grandma can pull it off.”
Go to their homepage, http://ninite.com/, pick out the apps you want, run the installer and go sit down to watch the winning pass of your favorite football team. The work is done for you without a signup, client or registration. You save time because there is no need to go out to individual sites and download each app, one at a time. So it’s a real time saver!
Here’s how it works: Once you’ve chosen the bundles of apps you want, just click and Ninite uploads offscreen, picking out the latest version that is right for your PC, in your language, without all the toolbars and other junk.
Could it be simpler? No.
What an idea. No more clicking next, next, next, next, next next, next …..
Do you sometimes forget the file attachments you meant to include in an email message? Thanks to a free plugin for Outlook, now you can be alerted when you do just that.
Head over to CodeTwo‘s website and download the free Outlook Attachment Reminder. Install and configure it to scan for text in your email’s subject line and body text (such as “attachment” or “attached” or “see document”). When you press the send button, if the system finds that you included these phrases but did not attach a file, it will prompt you to do so before sending out the email.
Move over leather wallet, Google Wallet is coming! Starting soon, Google’s newest addition, Google Wallet, will allow users to make purchases and payments all from a single smartphone.
The technology is also designed so that the user can turn the chip off when Google Wallet is not being used, making it safe from hackers. If the smartphone is lost, the data can also be wiped remotely. While the concept of Google Wallet has great potential, there are still several limitations to the system as Google continues to look for more partners for the enterprise before its official launch, which is slated for within a month or two. Google’s intention is that Google Wallet will be an open mobile wallet holding all the cards and coupons you keep in your leather wallet today.
