Ok, so there are tons of guides out there that tell you that you can use your phone or tablet or iPod Touch, (wireless device) to make free calls but all those guides suck and are really complicated.

So let me introduce my awesome detailed guide for people who are not experts on this and simply want to get it to work.

Requirements:

• your choice of device (kinda obvious)
• access to internet from that device
• access to Google Play Store (android) or Apple Store (apple)
• a Google Account ( needed for Google Voice if you don’t already have one)
• 30 minutes of free time to kill

Got the requirements? Cool, let’s proceed.

Solid State Drives have been around for decades in various forms, the earliest were RAM-based and were so cost prohibitive as to only make appearances in ultra high-end and super computers. In the 1990s Flash-based SSDs made an appearance but were again still far too expensive for the consumer market and made hardly a blip outside of specialized computing circles. Throughout the 2000s the price of flash memory continued to fall and by the end of the decade consumer Solid State Drives were making inroads in the personal computer market. continue reading…

Do you take videos from cameras that save the movies to a single file that is difficult to share with people who aren’t overly comfortable using a computer. When that happens I try to burn the videos to a DVD so that they can watch it using any standalone DVD player, but this can be quite a pain depending on the original format of the video. continue reading…
