I’ve been a huge fan of bulk-installing tool Ninite, and today they added a helpful feature that lets you link straight to your custom packages, for super simple sharing and remote troubleshooting.
Now, when you create your bulk app installer on Ninite’s page and hit “Get Installer”, it will link you to a new page listing the apps you grabbed and automatically download the package for you. What’s really nice is that you can link straight to this page—for example, http://ninite.com/chrome-skype-itunes-vlc-dropbox-essentials for Chrome, …

Google’s planning to host your printer drivers in its cloud to make the Chrome OS (debuting today) a viable option. Now there’s a landing page where you can test Google’s web-based printing, if you’re using the latest Chrome dev release on Windows.
Google’s Cloud Print page, which carries the beta tag, walks you through the process of setting up cloud printing in the latest version of Chrome—it’s a setting in the Under the Hood section, where you’ll register with your Google credentials.

Having set that …

If you are planning to rebuild a ‘slow’ computer by reinstalling Windows (XP or Vista) from scratch, here’s a pre-installation checklist + some time saving tips. You existing data on the Windows PC will not be affected even if you do a clean install instead of repair or upgrade.
Fix Problems by Reinstalling Windows
As a tech blogger, part of my job involves reviewing software which is so interesting but frequent installation (followed by un-installation) of software programs also tend to slow down the computer.

ZDNet highlights 10 grammar mistakes to avoid because, frankly (they’re just being honest because we’re all friends), they make you look stupid.
While we at Lifehacker have certainly NEVER made any grammatical slip-ups in the course of our daily posts (right?), ZDNet does highlight several very common mistakes that we’ve all made at one time or another. Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of people who get too up-in-arms over a misplaced they’re/their/there (I’m a benefit-of-the-doubt kind of guy), but I do agree that its it’s important to avoid …

Concerned about your privacy? One proactive step you can take is to remove your phone number from Google PhoneBook.
As you may know, typing a residential phone number into a Google Search bar (though not the Google Toolbar) performs a reverse lookup that lists your name, address and even a link to a Google Map of your address. Fortunately, Google gives you the option of removing all your residential listing information–all you have to do is fill out a short form and wait 48 hours. Granted, there are countless other …

Keystroke the Carriers
April 20th, 2007 ·
The carriers raise your monthly bills, add senseless fees, and sell you ringtones for ludicrous amounts of money. It’s time to save some money and keystroke the carriers (Verizon, Cingular, T-Mobile, and Sprint). Voicemail burns up precious minutes each month by making you listen to your message and the digital lady. You can basically skip everything she says simply by using a simple keystroke shortcut. You can save messages, skip messages, check your allocated anytime minutes, and get credits for dropped calls just by …

The dreaded phone call comes in: there has been some suspicious activity on your credit card and the bank would like to verify that you were the one spending thousands of dollars online. Shocked and appalled, it strikes you that your identity has been stolen and that you must act quickly to protect yourself from further damage. While the news can be overwhelming at first, and you most likely want to figure out how this even happened to you, there are a few steps you should immediately take to preserve …

These are all basic rules, but they all seem to get broken constantly. All of these should be obvious to anyone who’s conscious (maybe even the lightly sleeping), but they must not be. On to the rules!

Proofread your resume. This is the most basic rule I can imagine, and yet it has been violated so many times that it’s threatening to press charges. I’ve gotten applications for the Administratvie Assistant position from people living in Memhpis. Spellcheck, and fix your grammar. I’m not interested in your “too years of experience”. …

DIY site Instructables shows you how to create a homemade photo cube that makes a nice gift or decoration.
You’ll need six photos, a cutting board, a knife, a scoring tool and some glue or double-sided tape. The only tricky part is printing your photos so they fill only the center part of of the paper, not the entire width. The author provides a downloadable Photoshop mask for this, but you can probably accomplish the same thing in any image-editing program.
From there you just cut, score, arrange and glue. You …
