Some materials just instinctively attract crud - it's like dirt, dust and lint are magnetized to them! And really, they are, due to the static electricity they create!

That's quality you just don't get with the average webcam! (And this is DEFINITELY not the average webcam!)

Talk about a plate full of awesome! |Here's A Sample Video From This Webcam: Plus, the digital zoom allows you to come in for a closeup OR show everyone in the room! It's time for a webcam party!

Sweet!  Sound quality usually gets passed by when it comes to web cams, but NOT this time! They pulled out all the stops and put in a sound system that any audiophile would be proud of! First off, the mic is crystal clear and makes it EASY for the other person to hear what you're saying. Way better than most static-prone built-in mics on other webcams! Sure, that would have been good enough for most people, but MS went a step further and added echo-cancelation and acoustic noise cancelation to insure the audio pickup and clarity is nothing short of astonishing! (And it is!)  Worried about placement or setup? They gotchya covered big time! First, setup is a breeze! Can you pop in a CD and USB plug? Then you're qualified! It's super simple and super quick! Plus, this bad boy breaks through one of the biggest webcam problems - Where to place it. Most webcams only give you one option like a little stand OR a laptop clip OR an attachment disk.

Don't wait or it'll be TOO LATE! Bad Weather, Bad Drivers, Bad Luck... It Doesn't Matter What It Is... But You NEED To Be Prepared! THIS TOOL MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE! The 3-in-1 Emergency Hammer That Should Be In EVERY Car! Bust Through a Jammed Window Effortlessly! Cut Off That Tangled Seat Belt Safely! Only $4.97 To Keep You Safe! Never Get Trapped In Your Car! Period!
Cars Accidents Happen EVERY Day! In fact, the statistics say that serious injury from car accidents happens about once every 10 seconds. The unfortunate truth is it doesn't matter how well YOU drive, if the OTHER people on the road are driving like idiots! I'm not tryin' to scare ya... I just want EVERYONE to be prepared & safe! I saw one of these things in action and I gotta tell ya, I got one for EVERYONE in my family. They're these handy little 3-in-1 emergency hammers and if I need to use one just ONCE in my life, I know it'll have been worth the purchase! Think About This: You or a car you see gets broad-sided on the road. The doors are jammed shut, the window motors smashed, the seatbelts are caught. The driver or passengers are trapped and they NEED to get out. What do you do? You grab this tool and in SECONDS, the windows can be smashed out and the seatbelts cut free. When seconds matter, this can be the difference between getting out unscathed or suffering a serious injury... or worse! That window breaker tip is INCREDIBLE! (Don't test it on your window, not even a tap, it means BUSINESS!) They're specially designed to to focus ALL the momentum of a hit right into a tiny point on the glass. After all, if you've had something SMACK into any of your windows, you know those things are resilient! You need something SPECIAL to bust it open and that's what this is! Seat Belts - They're DESIGNED To Hold You In Place! After all, in 99% of cases, that's what we WANT them to do. But if you're in a burning or sinking car (hopefully never!) you need to make sure sure they can let you GO! They're not gonna just pull apart. Those things are STRONG! And a regular knife might be just as dangerous if you're struggling to cut through. This has an ultra-safe "slotted" blade that you can just slide over the belt and pull! It'll cleanly cut through the seatbelt and let you get out IMMEDIATELY! Bottom line: this is the tool you're going to want when things go wrong. You CANNOT predict an emergency situation. You can't PREVENT another driver from driving stupidly. But you CAN be prepared for anything. You might NEVER need to use this, and I hope that's the case. But if you DO need it, you're gonna be glad you had it. AND IT'S ONLY $4.97!!! Your well-being is worth WAY more than that! Any order over $5 even means you get FREE shipping in the US! http://store.worldstart.com/product/9219 PS - The sale will end quickly though, and these go up to Friday!! Safety is worth any price, but don't pay more if you don't have to!

John from Georgia writes: In regard to 'XP' Security continuation, I read that Google Chrome will continue to keep XP updated and 'protected' after MS abandons it next April but you need to use Chrome as your Browser. Have you any additional info? John, Google will keep offering patches and security fixes for their Google Chrome browser on Windows XP for one additional year. But that doesn't mean they are supporting the entire XP operating system. Google Director of Engineering and Public Safety Mark Larson said, "Like all technologies that come to their end-of-life, the XP operating system and most of its desktop applications will no longer receive updates and security patches." The intention is to give Chrome users a little more time to migrate to newer versions of Windows. But your system could still be vulnerable. These patches are only for the Google Chrome browser. Google will not be able to offer patches or fixes for the XP operating system. A virus could still arrive via an e-mail attachment or as part of a program download and unless it is one that affects Google Chrome, there's not much Google can do about it. ~ CynthiaClick here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Windows XP - Denial, Anger & Acceptance Many of you may have heard of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's five stages of grief. She named them as denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. She was talking about catastrophic personal loss, but as the end of Microsoft support for Windows XP nears, I've observed the same reaction in XP users. 1. Denial – Microsoft will change their mind. Someone else might step in and take over. – After 12 years, Microsoft feels XP's time has come and gone. The operating system has security issues and just can't keep up with some of the latest technology. The company is determined to shift towards being a devices and services business and supporting a 12-year-old operating system is just not part of that plan. 2. Anger – We've seen plenty of that in comments, e-mails and questions. Readers have called Microsoft, greedy, lazy, short-sighted, stupid and a lot thing that we can't post on a family-friendly website. 3. Bargaining – Readers have asked if they run up-to-date security software, won't that take care of the problem? What if they are very careful about where they go online or just use it for e-mail. Security providers like Norton and AVG have made it clear that without Microsoft offering the security support – they cannot guarantee the safety of XP systems. 4. Depression – According to experts, it's not a good idea to attempt to cheer up the grieving person at this point. So I won't try to tell you that you may be able to upgrade your current computer to Windows 7 or 8 or that you might enjoy a newer, faster computer. And I won't even touch the fact that Windows 8 really is a pretty good operating system. 5. Acceptance – Once you've reached that stage, we can help you out. My first suggestion would be to run Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor or Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant to see if your current computer can handle a new operating system. We're going to have more articles and tips on making the change as the deadline for the end of support draws near. Remember April 8, 2014 is the end date for Microsoft support for Windows XP. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Catherine from Delaware writes "Is it difficult to hook up something like Hulu via computer to TV. I am a novice at 80 and was wondering if I could do it?" Hi, Catherine. Thanks for the great question. For those who don't know, Hulu is one of many great video on demand services including Netflix, and Amazon Video. Probably the easiest way to do this is to connect your computer to your TV. If you search our website's archives, you'll find lots of good articles on this, but this is the short version: if your computer has an HDMI output and you have a high-def TV, simply hook an HDMI cable from your computer to your TV and enjoy. If you have a laptop, make sure that your laptop is set so that the computer doesn't go to sleep when you close the lid. That way you can have your laptop closed so that you don't have your video running on two screens. If your computer doesn't have an HDMI output, there are some other ways. Head on over to WorldStart to learn more!
Tom from Pennsylvania writes: I am running windows XP home edition service pack 3. I was running the CHKDSK and a warning come up that the F parameter was not specified. Can you elaborate on this? I have had the computer shut down and reboot while I was using it, is why I was running CHKDSK. I am using Microsoft Security essentials for virus protection. Answer: The chkdsk utility is a built-in program from Microsoft which scans, verifies and can fix some file system errors and hard drive corruption/errors. You can launch the utility from Windows by opening a command prompt (hold down Windows Key and Press R key, type cmd.exe and press enter) and typing chkdsk. The error you are receiving about the f parameter indicates you've not told chkdsk to fix errors it has found. Head on over to WorldStart for more!
Windows 8.1 3D Builder Lets You Bring Ideas To Life One of the neat features of Windows 8.1 is that it can handle 3D printing. So, if you own or have access to a 3D printer, you can create and print actual objects. To download 3D Builder, just go to the Windows 8 App Store and type 3D Builder in the search box. The app is free and you just tap Install to install it immediately. Microsoft says the app is ideally suited for touchscreen devices but also works fine on laptops and desktops using a keyboard and mouse. Just click WorldStart for the rest of this tip!

Writer's Almanac The Writer's Almanac is brought to you by Garrison Keillor and Public Radio. It offers up a daily dose of poetry with a dash of literary history thrown in!

Chances are, you've been using a computer for YEARS... aren't you tired of being tied down to that desk? Even if you're using a laptop, you KNOW they aren't as portable as they advertise! They're heavy, the keyboard & screen take up a lot of space! You want something BETTER! This tablet is portable, it's LIGHTNING FAST, and has a BEAUTIFUL HD display! And it's designed to be useable wherever, whenever you want! Laying down, standing up, sitting down, you could even use it doing a handstand! Just the other night, I was watching a movie on my tablet, when it finished I just pressed TWO buttons and the book I've been working on opened up right where I left off. THIS IS THE TECHNOLOGY EVERYONE'S BEEN DREAMING OF! Look at all these apps you can get (this is just a FRACTION of what's available!) The ONLY reason everyone doesn't already have a tablet is because the big box stores rob you BLIND if you even look at one! We're talking $200 MINIMUM... and if you're after these kinda specs... say hello to a $500 price tag! And it's no surprise: you're getting a REAL computer that fits in your hands. BY THE WAY - IT EXPANDS! Not all tablets can even do this! Right off the bat, it's got a huge amount of storage... but it has a microSDHC slot that lets you expand it with up to 32GB of EXTRA space! All it takes is slidin' in a new memory card and you're rockin' GIGS of extra space - how cool is that? And if you're concerned about learning new tech... DON'T BE! This tablet is the very definition of intuitive! Everything is right at your fingertips and you'll be an expert in no time! WE WEREN'T KIDDING ABOUT THE PRICE! I know it sounds impossible, but you really CAN get this unbelievable touchscreen tablet for just $149.97 with FREE US SHIPPING! Big box stores are shakin' in their boots... they just CANNOT compete! Grab yours at the link below, but make sure you get to the store before they're gone! http://store.worldstart.com/product/8985 *LIMITED QUANTITY* We couldn't get many at the price we're passing on to you, so make sure you get to the store before they run out, or when the sale ends Friday and they go up to $209.97!
