A great big knob - my Griffin Powermate is indispensible - aside from giving great control of volume on my PC, when the phone rings, click it and it mutes everything.

It's worth mentioning I have B&W MM-1 speakers that were worth every penny - tiny near-field speakers that go all the way down to 38Hz. How on earth do they do that?

I'm wondering whether the Chromebook might be the ideal device to fulfill this function?

I find Timer Tab helpful: www.timer-tab.com

But possibly the best thing for me has been running Google Apps, Outlook and Calvetica on my iPhone. It's very hard to miss an event in your diary with that many things reminding you.

These things make you appear to be a nutter. It's not a matter of how svelte they are, what logo they carry or what colour they are. You will be standing around in public talking to yourself, committing the additional crime of mistakenly thinking you are cool.

My iPhone is certainly the first way that I access the Internet during the day because it's on virtually instantly, no waiting for a computer to start up.

I had a cold this winter that seems to have turned into some kind of permanent sinus-based hay fever thing. This is despite having an Airfree air purifier next to my desk and one in my bedroom.

I'm just looking for some sympathy, that's all...


Allergies? Tech Tips to Help You Survive Spring

When I arrived for my second ever day at work my boss called me in and ripped me a new a-hole for leaving my desk in such a mess.

I never did it again.

I completely disagree with PAY FOR PC MEMORY, NOT SPEED. I often help people to buy PCs and I always push for the fastest possible processor within budget. Anyone can add more RAM in a year or two, but almost nobody can upgrade to a faster processor.

The speed of processor determines the end of life of the PC.

Years after helping people buy their computer I hear back from them that it's still running well, that they haven't had to replace it yet.

This could be the start of something big (or maybe it is already and I just haven't noticed it) - turning cables into things of beauty.

What about Tumblr - the traffic can be huge for the right audience.


Create a Great Website Without Graphic Design Experience

If you're a Dropbox convert, don't only use a Mac, and want to make text notes on your iPhone then something like Elements might tick the right box for you. PlaintText is a strong alternative but it has Mac carriage returns that aren't great for a PC user. Supposedly Nebulous Notes and Droptext are slightly less good, but if you're going to be making lots of notes you might even consider buying a couple. Depends how rich you feel.
