Tip of the Week: Tips on shooting cell phone video

Why take photos when you can shoot video? Sometimes a still image just isn't enough, but there are a few things you should know about shooting video with your cell phone and transferring clips over to a PC.

Headwhack of the Week: If computing hurts, your doing it wrong!

The more time you spend in front of a computer screen, hacking away at the keyboard and relentlessly clicking on the mouse, the more likely that you'll suffer some pain from all that activity.

Geek Speak of the Week: Tivo d'oh!

The act of inadvertently watching a commercial as part of a digitally recorded program.  (To emphasize the d'oh, smack your forehead when you say this!)

Security: Using your smartphone safely (FAQ)

Smartphones aren't just smart, they're personal computers. Unlike a desktop or even a laptop PC, those devices and other mobile phones can easily slip out of a pocket or purse, be left in a taxi, or get snatched off a table. They let you store photos, access e-mails, receive text messages, and put you one browser click away from potentially malicious Web sites.

Take a stroll down memory lane to see what Ken & Nicole Lapin discussed at last years show

Opinion:  Which is Greener: Paper or Digital?

"There is no question that print media could do a better job of managing the sustainability of its supply chains and waste streams, but it's a misguided notion to assume that digital media is categorically greener. Computers, eReaders, and cell phones don't grow on trees and their spiraling requirement for energy is unsustainable." says Don Carli of SustainCommWorld.
