Quick Tips

Time to Play: “What is it?”

File this one under news, but put a sticky note that says ”Awesome” on it! Take a look at the picture below, if you will, and try to take a stab at what you think it might be.

Is it a closeup of some new-fangled super fabric? Maybe it's every Clint Eastwood movie being played simultaneously on a towering wall of televisions! Whatever it is, I sure think it's cool looking!

Give up yet? Okay, I'll tell you, then!

This is something called the “Rosetta Disk”. It's a whole lot of data! We're talking over 13,000 pages of data, spanning 1,500 languages, all etched carefully, microscopically, into nickel. To even read a single page of it, you'd need a 500x microscope!

The advance of technology continues to impress!

Go From This...

Magic Hangers

To This...

Is Your Closet So Full of Clothes That It's Busting At The Seams?

Well Before You Go And Knock Out A Closet Wall, Try These!

OK, so you're a "clothes Magic Hangershorse"! You know..you've got so many clothes you can outfit the entire army of a small country! (But for some reason, you still can't find a thing to wear!) Or, maybe you live in house or apartment where the closets are so small that you have to remind yourself where they are 'cause if you blink when you walk by, you miss 'em! Either way, the problem's the same: too many clothes for the amount of closet space! Well, before you take a sledge hammer to one of the closet walls (yeah, that'll work but kind of messy...just trust me on that one!) give these a try...THEY REALLY WORK!!!

A short while ago we got a delivery from one of our suppliers. There was the usual bunch of new things they wanted us to look at but they also included a note. It explained they sent along something a little different called, "Magic Hangers". Well as it turns out, they're the manufacturer of these and they asked us to just give these a try 'cause, "They work!", and they thought for sure that our readers would love them as much as everyone else who tried these!

OK, fine. Wanting to humor them more than anything else, I hung a set of these "Magic Hangers" up in the closet and, what do ya know!! They really DO work!

When you understand HOW these work, you're gonna be a believer just like I am! As you can see, there are Two Hanger Hooks connected by a bar that has 5 openings for hangers to fit into. The large hanger hooks fit over the closet bar and then you hang your individual in those five openings in the cross-bar. Then Just Lift Up One of the Large Hanger Hooks and let it drop. When you do that, you've just TRIPLED THE SIZE OF YOUR CLOSET SPACE!!! (And see...you didn't even a sledge hammer after all, did you?)

So, what happens is that instead of your clothes hanging HORIZONTALLY across the closet bar like they usually would, they hang VERTICALLY! All that horizontal room that use to be taken up by hangers is freed up!!! So now you can hang 5 articles of clothing where you previously could only hang ONE!

Not only does this give you more room in your closet, but WAIT TIL YOU SEE HOW NEAT YOUR CLOTHES ARE!!! As I'm sure you already know, when you jam a bunch of clothes into a crowded they get wrinkled so now you either have to iron them or take them to the dry cleaners! But when you use the "Magic Hangers", your CLOTHES STAY NEAT AND WRINKLE-FREE!!!

And these "Magic Hangers" are strong! STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD UP TO 5 WINTER COATS!!! Just think...no more having to stuff those bulky overcoats in the garage or wherever you can make room! You'll have room now!

Put these in the kids' closet to keep them from fighting over closet space. (They'll probably find something else to fight about, but it won't be "no closet space"!) And these are great for college dorms, studio apartments or any place where space is a little cramped or especially when roommates need to share closet space!

As I said, we're working directly with the manufacturer on this one so we're going to give you a REALLY great price today! You can get a single hanger for just $2.97 (that's not a typo) or get a set of 8 for just $12.97! Now THAT'S A DEAL!

Single Hanger - $2.97 (Free US Shipping)

OK, NOW This Is Most Amazing Deal EVER On An LED Flashlight!

That's No Typo - These Incredible Flashlights Really Are Just $5.97!

Rock-Solid, Heave Duty, Aluminium, Super Bright!! WOW!!

Ohhhh, I just LOVE it when I get a call from a supplier and they say something like, "Hey Steve, I got a problem. I have a bunch of extra 9 LED flashlights I need to move. Can you help?"

So, after a little back and forth, we agree on a price that even couldn't believe I got! Soooooo - YOU get a jaw-droppin' deal on some fantastic 9 LED Flashlights! We're talking just $5.97 for a 9 LED Flashlight! We've never had 'em that cheap! Heck, I'm not sure anyone has ever had 'em that cheap! It's a knock-out deal, that's for sure!

Oh, and wait till you try 'em! Turn it on BUT don't look into it - this baby is really BRIGHT! It's absolutely amazing how much light those 9 LEDs throw out! You wouldn't think a flashlight this small would be this BLINDIN' BRIGHT!!! WOW!!

Speaking of size - wait till you feast your fingers on this little guy! It's super-compact and easily fits in the palm of your hand! Makes it super-easy to take anywhere! I already have one in each of my cars, and my wife keeps on in her purse. It's so small you don't even know it's there - till ya need it! Grab one for each of your cars, your camper, boat, house, garage, camera bag - anywhere you need a small, bright, reliable light!

Plus, this thing is REALLY well built too! Don't let the price fool ya! These aren't some cheap plastic lights - this bad boy is SOLID! We're talking a heavy-duty all aluminium barrel that can really take some serious pounding! Plus, the grip is just fantastic and I can personally attest that even when your hands are dripping wet (or snow covered), it's easy to keep ahold of! The design also keeps it from rolling around!

Get this - since this is an LED flashlight, it seems to run FOREVER on a set of batteries! Changing batteries or running out of juice is going to be a very RARE thing now! Oh, PLUS don't forget that you won't ever have to worry about the LEDs burning out - Heck, even if you kept it on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it would take 11 YEARS before they would burn out! WOW!!!

If you've looked at LED flashlights, you know they are the pedigree of the lighting world - for a light like this, you're looking at least $20-$30 easy. Your cost? Again we're talking just $5.97 and US Shipping is FREE!! It's the BEST DEAL we've ever offered on an LED Flashlight! Give it a try, you'll be glad you did!

PS - At this price, you'd better grab a few! Can't go wrong for $5.97!! Not sure how long these will be available to us at this kind of price, so RUN to the site and get in on this as soon as you can! The price may increase without notice - get 'em while they're $5.97!!!

Q:
Can I use "Adobe Reader" and "Adobe Acrobat" safely?

A:
Adobe Systems Inc. recently acknowledged that all versions of its popular PDF software, including editions for Windows, Mac and Linux, contain at least one, or possibly two, critical vulnerabilities. Knowing this, is there a way one can use their Adobe PDF reader safely?

Yes. Fortunately, there is an easy way to stay safe until Adobe releases a software patch.

Since many people do not update or install security patches as often as recommended, this article will provide a step by step procedure to disable JavaScript in Adobe Reader. Don’t worry it is not difficult. Only six Mouse clicks and you are done!

First. Find and open “Adobe Reader” (all versions through 9.1) on your computer.
(On the Mac, Preferences is under the "Adobe Reader" or "Adobe Acrobat" menus.)

1. Left click on “Start
2. Move the cursor over “All Programs”, in the menu window that opens
3. Left click on “Adobe Reader” (Figure 1)


Figure 1

4. On the “Adobe Reader” screen Left click on “Edit
5. In the menu window that opens Left click on “Preferences” (Figure 2)


Figure 2

6.
On the “Preferences” screen uncheck “Enable Acrobat JavaScript” (Figure 3)


Figure 3

The preferences screen should now look like Figure 4

7. Left click on the “OK” Button


Figure 4

Now you have a simple procedure to use to turn off JavaScript in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. After Adobe releases a software patch please download and install it. Then, if you wish, you can turn JavaScript back on.

Note: There are several free PDF readers that are not vulnerable to JavaScript flaws.

Here are the Web addresses for two of them.

MS Office

Even Cells Can Have Some Style

Today I'd like to take a moment to address a reader's question.

In particular he's recently upgraded to Excel 2007 and has noticed this on the Home tab of the Ribbon:

So the question is, what are they?

It's a good question to ask so let's take a moment to answer it.

First, if you click the down arrow next to the ones you see you'll find that an entire palette of choices appears.

3

What you're seeing is a set of predefined cell formats. (Older versions of Excel have cell styles too, but not a predefined set the way that this version does. We'll cover creating styles tomorrow so those of you with older versions I'll address your choices in the next issue..)

The idea behind it is that you may consistently use the same formatting for data labels, titles or other parts of your worksheets. Most people find that the repeated work of applying all of that formatting gets old really quickly.

So… instead of setting that formatting over and over again choose one from the Cell Styles palette and presto!

The selected cells have the chosen formatting with only a couple of clicks.

Logically, I can hear someone thinking to themselves… nice idea, too bad I don't see a formatting I like.

Never fear - Excel has you covered on that front too.

Since that process, while quick for you to accomplish is a bit long for me to explain, I'll ask you to "tune in" tomorrow and we'll cover how to make one that's all your own.

Absolutely Mind-Blowin' Card Reader Deal!

Just $7.97!!! Really!

WOW!! I Think I am Speechless!!!

Now That's A Price That'll Really Make You Smile!!! :-D

If I had to name my top favorite gadgets, card readers would definitely be on the list! I have so many SD cards, that a card reader is the only way I view what is stored on any given card. I just find them so cool and convenient. And they are so much easier to use than a messy cord. However, this amazing card reader really caught my attention, and I know it will catch yours too!

First, we have never sold card reader like this for a price as low as $7.97! WOW! We have done $9.97, $10.97, heck even $16.97- but never before have we had one for a price as low as $7.97! Now that is just awesome!

Everyone with an SD (secure digital), MMC, or RS card (or any variation thereof) will just LOVE this card reader!!

Think about it, what would be easier- popping out your memory card, sliding it into the card reader, and plugging it into your USB port? Or, finding that cable that came with your device, untangling it (because you know they are always tangled), plugging it into your USB port, transferring your files, then following the cord as you go through the jungle of cords behind your computer, searching for the correct USB port and finally unplugging it? I think that answer is a real no-brainer! Of course, the card reader option is the easiest way to transfer your information from your card to your computer or vice versa!

Next, let's discuss the design! This card reader is extremely compact and lightweight, therefore, making it perfect for anyone on the go!!! And the best part is, this card reader has Plug and Play, allowing it to work on any computer without having to install anything! Better yet, because you can transfer files to and from this card reader, it will work as a flash drive too!!!

Because it uses USB 2.0, this card reader has blistering fast data transfer speed, and will definitely satisfy all your data transfer needs. This is one that you just have to check out!!! I just adore it, and for the price of just $7.97 and US Shipping is Free, you will adore yours too!

Hey, our supplier is giving us a discount on these Bushnell Camera Binoculars for another day, so we've decided to go another day with the sale! So, if you've been looking for a convenient way to spy, err, check on your neighbors (or "spot birds" or, umm, "see better at the big game" or "get a better look at the seagulls at a beach full of bikini clad women"), then here's a deal that'll make your mouth water!

Normally, these are an amazingly low $39.97 - a price that makes most wholesalers think we should be in an institution of some sort on heavy medication.

Why is my wall covered with spiders anyway?!?!?

Binoculars With A Built-In Digital Camera!!!

Bushnell

Big 7x Image Magnification!

Bushnell

You Gotta Try These!

There have been times when I've gone to a football game and had my binoculars and wished that I could take some pictures of what I was seeing. Sure, you can schlep along a digital camera with a zoom lens, but it's not much fun watching a game through a camera lens! (Trust me...I tried it - but only for a few minutes.) That's why I was so excited when we got these in! After all, this could be a great solution for all of us who have struggled with the "binocular vs. camera" conundrum!

I got to admit, I was "cautiously optimistic" when I first saw these. But I saw these were made by Bushnell - a trusted, old "stand-by" in the field of optical products. So I thought, "What the heck...let me give 'em a run thru!"

These work just like a regular set of binoculars but it has the added feature of a built-in digital camera! So you can "See" a scene just like you normally would with a pair of binoculars. But, then you can also "Save It", and then "Download It" to your computer and even "Edit It"! Hmmm...that seemed interesting!

Sure enough just like a regular set of binoculars, there's a "focus" knob. Actually, I thought was even better than most binoculars cuz it's in a convenient spot - right underneath the base of the camera, right by your thumb so it's easy to adjust. Also, there's an "eye adjustment" feature so you can get a perfect fit for the distance between your eyes. Heck, there's even a an additional setting to adjust for individual eye strength! (Something called a "diopter setting", apparently a feature that Bushnell binoculars have. Didn't expect to find something like that.) Maybe I was really onto something!

Come to find out that it has "fully coated optics for optimum light transmission", plus it uses a "Porro prism system". Not sure about all that - all I know is that the magnification was pretty darn strong (7 x 18 mm magnification) and the view was very clear! In fact, it was better that other binoculars I've used that were much more expensive!

As they say, "the proof is in the pudding", so I wanted to see what kind of pictures it would take. So I ran outside a took a few shots and well, you tell me!

This first one of, "Old Glory", it was about 60 feet away from where I was standing. What's interesting is that it was pretty windy out when I snapped that shot and there's not a blur in the shot!

Binoculars

Next, I thought I'd see how these would work with a moving object - just like if you were at a sporting event (football game, car race, whatever). Now, it just so happens this street has a posted speed limit of 50 mph, so I think it's safe to assume this car was moving at about that rate. And once again, no blur!!! What do ya think...not bad, heh?

Binoculars

This is EXACTLY the thing for taking "stop action" shots! Also, I like that fact that this has a 1/4" standard tripod mount. Especially handy if you want to use the "Timer" feature and jump in the shot yourself!

Also, this neat little binocular-camera has a button on top that let's use access different features:

Timer - will take a photo after a 10 second delay when you press the shutter

Repeat Shot - This is neat. It takes a rapid series of 3 consecutive photos about 12 second apart when you press and hold the shutter button.

High/Low Photo Quality - This allows you to take photos at different resolutions (640x480 or 320x240).

Movie Mode - This lets you take short movie clips ("avi files", at 320 x 240)

Delete - Lets you delete the last photo or all photos on the camera

There's an LCD Display at the top of the camera that shows you what "Modes" you selected and also shows you how many pictures you've already taken.

As far as downloading the pictures to your computer, it couldn't be easier! It comes with a software program by Roxio, which makes excellent software products! (Now that I really didn't expect!) Just load the CD into your computer, plug one end of the USB cord (comes included!) into the camera and the other end into your computer and you're ready to roll! Just click on a couple of icons to transfer the pictures onto your computer and that's all to it! You can even edit your pictures directly from their if you want, which is perfect for someone who's pretty new to taking digital pictures and all. If you've been taking photos for a while and you're comfortable doing more advanced editing you can use a more advanced program specifically designed for photo editing, like this one we use.

And check out all the accessories that comes with it including: a USB Cable, a Carry case and carry strap!

Bushnell

I got to tell you, I was really pleasantly surprised with this little Bushnell beauty! Has just enough features to be really handy and useful without being too complicated! Easy to use and it works great! Plus it's compact so you can stick it in your pocket or attach the carrying case to your belt and go that route! This is great for sight seeing, sporting events or even family get togethers!

This Bushnell "binocular-camera" is something we know you're gonna love so we're gonna let you have this at a price that'll put a smile on your face (Say, "Cheese!) Grab one of these units today for just $34.97 and US shipping is FREE!!!

P.S. - It has a "rugged" design so don't be afraid of bringing this along where ever you go...after all, that's what it's for!!!

Tip of the Day

Vista Account Pictures

If you're using Windows Vista, by now, you've probably set up the accounts you want for the computer. You know, one for yourself, one for your spouse, one for your children or grandchildren, etc. Setting up those accounts can take some time, in order to ensure that you have them just the way you want them.

So, in all the hustle and bustle of that, I doubt you've had any time to change your account's picture. You know, that little icon that shows up next to your name that gives your account just a little piece of personality. You're probably thinking, "Well, now that you mention it. I would like to change my picture." Am I right? Either way, here's how you do it. It's very simple and much like Windows XP.

Go to Start, Control Panel and click on the User Accounts and Family Safety link. Once the new window opens, look under the User Accounts section and click on the Change your account picture link. A selection of new pictures will then show up for you. You can choose from a music note, a fish, sports, a dog, a kitten, chess pieces, a starfish, a flower and a few more. So, pick whichever one fits your personality the best. If you like the water, choose the starfish. If you're really into sports, select that one. When you've decided, just click on the picture once and hit the Change Picture button. Your new picture will then appear and your account will officially be yours!

Today's Feature

Vista Service Pack 2 is here!

You heard me right. For those of you out there with Vista, the second service pack is now available for download from Microsoft. This service pack will provide all of the MS updates since Service pack 1 plus quite a few new enhancements to (hopefully) make your Windows Vista experience better. Some of these enhancements include:

  • An upgrade to the Bluetooth protocol, bringing it to bluetooth 2.1.
  • The ability to burn Blu Ray disks without a separate program (Blu Ray compatible burner is required).
  • An upgrade to the Vista side bar to make it more responsive.
  • Improved WIFI reliability after coming out of sleep mode.

On top of these enhancements, Microsoft says that Vista SP2 has addressed over 700 previous Vista bugs that should increase performance by up to 10%.

The Vista SP2 file is big! If you have a dial-up connection, I would recommend doing this download overnight. The file size is 348.3MB. On top of that, if you want to install Service Pack 2, you must already have Service Pack 1 installed.

As I mentioned above, the service pack is available for download from the Microsoft web site. This update will be made available via automatic updates in the next few weeks. If you want to get ahead of the game and install it now, the links are available below.

CD Recycling Center

I have a ton of old game CDs just lying around that: I’ll never play again, are scratched beyond repair, so what the heck am I supposed to do with them? Well I’ve been really interested in recycling whatever I can so I looked into CD recycling and found this site!

I’m starting you off on the About Us page, so that you can check out their Mission Statement, and have easy access to the FAQ if you have any questions. What you should really check out on this page is the About Recycling link. It describes in detail what a CD is made of – where the materials come from – and what they can be recycled into. After you check that out – click the Register link at the top of the page. Fill out the Registration form with the necessary information and click Submit.

You’ll be automatically logged in once you you’ve registered. You’ll be shown the correct way to pack a box of recyclables, and how not to pack them. Click Submit Recycling to get started recycling. You’ll input the number of each item you have to recycle, and then click Submit – this will take you to a page where you’ll get the address of where to ship your package to.

Then you just pack up your CDs/DVDs and send them off to the address to be recycled. You do have to pay for shipping, but you can use low cost services like media mail. They way I did it was to find all the disks I wanted to recycle and just send one box. Rather that doing a little bit at time. I feel it was more cost effective, because you can get a ton of CDs into a box!

This is a great way to recycle all those disks that you have just laying around. I had stacks of trial software, old games, scratched up music discs, and now I have a nice clean CD drawer!

Got A Cellphone? 

Then You're Gonna LOVE This!

Now THIS Is The Way

To Keep Your Cell Phone Out of Harms Way

image

But Still Keep It Close At Hand While You're Driving!!!

WOW!!! This Is A Must-Have For Teenage Drivers

Or Anyone Who Drives And Has A Cell Phone!

When you get in your car, do you usually just toss your cell phone on the passenger seat, or even worse, stash it in your pocket or purse and then when it rings, it's a mad dash to answer it! Not a good idea in the middle of traffic! Your eyes need to be on the road! We know that but then there's the "real world", right? Well, here's a solution that you're gonna love!

This "Cell Phone Caddy" is just the thing to keep your phone nearby without having to worry about "rooting" around to find it when you're in the middle of traffic! Th "caddy" has a frame that attaches to your air conditioning vents, and then the body of the "caddy" just fits in place to the frame!

Now you can keep your phone out of the way but still close at hand where you can see it! Great for "hands-free" cell phone use (something that's not only a good idea for safety reasons but has become the law in many places!) When you're phone rings, just glance at your phone that's craddled in your "Cell Phone Caddy" and see who's calling! It's so distracting when you get a call but you couldn't reach your phone in time and then you're wondering who it was that called!!! Now you'll be able to know and still keep safety "Number 1"!

Your cell phone is held in place with a a type of "cushioned" clamping mechanism that releases with the touch of a button on the side! Also your cell phone is supported at the bottom with a small "ledge" that it sits on while in the craddle.

If you'd rather have your phone positioned somewhere else, like on the top of your dashboard, YOU CAN DO THAT, TOO! Included in the package is double-sided adhesive material so you can firmly afix to your dashboard (or where ever!) and then secure the base of the "Cell Phone Caddy" to that!

And if you travel over a lot of "rough terrain" with bumps in the road, you can even screw it into your dashboard fram with the set of braket and screws that are also included! Now THAT'S about as secure as you can get!!! But the choice is yours and everything is included!

This is gonna put your mind at ease and still allow you to stay in control! And have we got a deal for you 'cause today you can grab this for only $6.97 and US shipping is FREE!!!
