You know the deal: everyone shows up at a priceless family party and takes tons of photos, each on their own phone (or worse, for each group shot, 10 different phones take turns at shooting the picture). Unfortunately, when the party is over, all you end up with are your own photos. Google is attempting […] The post Share those friends and family party photos! appeared first on CyberCom, Inc.

Google Drive/Apps users rejoice! Search is improved. Just click on the dropdown in the Search box and you’ll see lots of new options, including the ability to separate searching of the file name vs. content in the file. I still wish I could search within a folder only (for those of us still stuck in […] The post Improved Google Drive Search is here appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
Back in the good ‘ol Internet days of dial-up, a common trick was to turn off graphics in the browser by default and only once you arrived at the desired page would you manually press a button and show all the graphics. (Anyone remember Netscape?) Well, what was new in the ’90s is once again […] The post Chrome Browser on Android reduced mobile data usage up to 70% appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
Those who don’t want to deal with all the bugs associated with a new O/S release usually wait until a “point” release, e.g. Windows 7.1. Looks like we have the equivalent of the 10.1 release and even Microsoft acknowledges it. Microsoft’s message to businesses is that if they were following the traditional policy of waiting […] The post OK, now you can upgrade to Windows 10 appeared first on CyberCom, Inc.

It’s certainly tempting, isn’t it? Windows is “giving away” a free upgrade to Windows 10. What do to? I’ve lived by the “Wait for the point upgrade” (wftpu) advice for years and I’m going to continue following it. What wftpu means is simply this: all new O/S releases have bugs. Let others work through them and […] The post Should you upgrade to Windows 10? Wait until 10.1 appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
Let’s cut to the chase. Get either the Seagate or HGST 4TB drives. Personally, I’d go for the 3x more reliable HGST drive that costs 30% more than the Seagate. The 4TB drives continue to rock, with both Seagate and HGST 4TB drives performing well. The Seagate 4TB drive has a current cumulative failure […] The post Backblaze publishes hard drive reliability stats appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
If you’re considering and iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, hold off until Apple unveils the new versions of them in what looks like will be their special event in early September. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans tell BuzzFeed News the company intends to hold a special event the week of Sept. 7, with Wednesday the […] The post Hold off on buying Apple hardware until after Sept 9, 2015 appeared first on CyberCom, Inc.

As a once-avid user of Windows Media Center to record TV, it was pretty clear to me that the Xbox could make a great DVR. This latest move is indicative of where they are going. Microsoft is adding recording and playback capability to live, over-the-air TV. You still have to purchase some hardware and an […] The post Xbox inches closer being your DVR appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
If you have a 2013 or earlier Chrysler product with the Uconnect feature, contact your dealer immediately and get the upgrade to patch this serious, scary security hole. Reading this article was horrifying as the author described how (with his consent) hackers took over his Jeep Cherokee. At first they just played w/ the A/C […] The post Scary security hole lets attackers remotely control Chrysler with Uconnect feature. appeared first on CyberCom, Inc. Continue reading →
I was excited about upgrading my Chrome browser to version 37, as it was supposed to make my fonts look better. After the upgrade, however, Facebook ends up looking absolutely awful, essentially unreadable. The initial workaround was to magnify to 150%. Ouch. Better solution: disable the DirectWrite “feature” that got installed. go to chrome://flags/ and […] Continue reading →
