So you can't wait for the latest edition of Windows to hit the stores.  Well, now you can get your hands on Windows 8, but be warned this edition isn't even to the beta stage yet.  If you are up to it and you want to see what the talk is all about, you can download the free developer's preview, for 64 bit or 32 bit systems, and give it a test drive...

Some people are just irritating. Some people can't help it and others do it on purpose. I personally like to think  Simon Cowell is in the latter category.

I have been absent this summer. I’ve been a LITTLE busy! First there’s the whole 3 children thing. Who knew they could be so much work?! Then there was another little thing called MORNING SICKNESS. Whoever invented that term obviously has NEVER been pregnant. Yes, that’s right, I said morning sickness We are expecting our 4th baby in January. We feel incredibly blessed and yes, we are very excite

Earlier last month, it was announced that the local theater would be running a Harry Potter Double Feature, Part 1 of Deathly Hollows and then Part 2 right at 12:01AM Friday morning. There’s a long, convoluted story about how I got roped into attending but I’ll try to give you the short version. A cute girl asked me to go with her.

Many grocery stores have rewards cards. You've seen them -- in exchange for letting the store datamine your purchasing behavior, you get discounts off your bill. Some people, though, are creeped out by the whole thing and feel it's an invasion of their privacy, so they skip those discounts. But they may not have to anymore. Savvy shoppers have figured out a way to get the cheaper food and ward off

It is definitely that time of year for being outdoors.  It doesn't matter if you go camping, golfing, swimming, if you plan a bbq, or just taking a walk, insects and more specifically mosquitoes are here and hungry.  I was searching around and found the best repellents to use during this time of year...

But those built-in apps don't give turn-by-turn audio directions, like those you may be used to from a dedicated GPS. You can buy apps that give turn by turn directions, but they tend to be expensive, and require up-front costs or monthly subscription fees. (Mapquest is a notable exception;

Sometimes we forget, but country music is a business... a BIG business. Have you ever thought about how much revenue is generated by a performer like Kenny Chesney or Tim McGraw?

In case you didn’t know from the 100 degree temperatures, it’s Summer time!! For me that means all 3 of my children are at home, for the most part, 24 hours a day. This can be good and bad. Some of the things I love about Summer include staying in bed until after 8 a.m. Granted, I usually don’t sleep past 6:30, but I do get to lie in bed and snuggle with my babies and try to catch an extra 10 min

If you use Outlook and have been running into the problem of sending emails, such as it goes into the outbox and just sits there. To get it to "leave the premises," you have to open up the Outbox folder and click Send again. From what I seen and heard this is a rather common problem and can have several different causes. Here are some things to try if your “sent mail” is getting stuck i

How about a talking cat for you or especially your kid to play with?  It's called Talking Tom and trust me you will get a kick out of this.  It doesn't matter what age you are with this application for your phone.  I was showing a few people the other day who were my age, and then two elderly people came up to me and asked what that was and then of course I downloaded it for them as they had no cl
