@booksdofurnish I travel with lenses and my camera often and have never had to take the camera or lenses out. The pieces of tech that sometimes need to be removed along with laptops are tablets and eReaders. 5 Ways to Simplify Traveling With Tech |

@Quietlikesnow It's probably both. Some airlines give them out in all classes, with just business and first having a fancier kid, while other airlines only give them out in business and 1st. 5 Ways to Simplify Traveling With Tech |

@ Tarama The Kindle I bring when I know I'll be doing a lot of reading outside. The iPad and laptop I use for work, reviewing apps, writing posts, editing photos etc. I also use the iPad when flying to view content and read in addition to the Kindle. I don't always travel with the laptop, all depends on my work load... ie do I have to use Photoshop heavily. 5 Ways to Simplify Traveling With Tech |

@Amaranta Both my grandmother and my mother, very intelligent women, asked for help. Some of these things like making multi-touch gestures more accessible and turning on the low vision assist are also not the most easy to find or common sense to enable and take a bit of digging depending on the smartphone. 5 Ways to Make Grandma's Smartphone Smarter |

@ Denacho I typically have about 10 - 20 items that need to be done each day and since they almost all revolve around the internet or use the internet in some way, I create a tab for each item that needs to be done first thing in the morning. Get More Done: Using Tabs as Your To Do List |

Hmm I didn't realise Google Sketch Up had an app! I've used their desktop application and found it to be quite easy to use. Is it perhaps an Android only app? I didn't see it in the iOS App Store or in my web searches for Android tablet apps... Tablet Apps to Help You Decorate Roundup |

@Funstraw No, I honestly pretty much only use the Windows Phone on WiFi and throughout the day it serves as an "iPod" since my poor iPhone 4 just cannot cope with working as a phone AND a gaming hub AND a podcast dispensing machine. I found if I use it to listen to podcasts during my commute and make a few phones calls plus write a few tweets from the phone and snap a couple of photos, it is dead before it's time to head home :( Stinky part it is it was never like this before iOS 5, but yay iMessage and stuff.

@alison78 The printer pictured (our printer) is the first generation HP Envy 100. We have not had to buy cartridges for it yet as we are still using the ones it came with. When we have had to buy cartridges in the past we generally look online for the best deals and just buy them there, usually on sale from a large office supply store. Because we only print the 5 things we mentioned we don't tend to go through much ink. 5 Reasons Why We Still Have a Printer |

@adventrising Thanks for sharing your project. For this roundup we wanted to make sure that every project we shared had directions so that readers could make their own. Do you have a page where you share the directions for your NES PC? 10 Things To Do With a Nintendo Entertainment System |

@ Benjy not really because those who "engage" with their nieces or grandmas on Facebook now have much higher scores, often just a few points away from very active Twitter users who speak about several topics and interact with hundreds of people... the new algorithm seems to be very broken. Sadly everyone is not still relative to each other. How Klout's Changes Cost Me a Job |

That's surprising regarding Siri not understanding you. I have received countless messages from friends dictated by Siri with zero mistakes. You are also the first person I have heard to say this about Siri not understanding what you say and this is coming from folks 4S users with Scottish, South London, Australian, French, German, and a variety of American accents.

@Residentgeek We're not talking about switching from one version of an OS to another, more like switching from Windows to Mac, Mac to Windows, Windows to Linux or any other such combination. I have to say as someone using Windows for the first time in years since being a long time Mac user, it is a very challenging transition. Tips to Make Switching to a New OS a Little Less Painful |
