Lalith Wijeratne from Sri Lanka writes: I connect my HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) modem to my desk top and access Internet. I want to know whether it is possible to connect a laptop also, and access internet at the same time. (like a Wi-Fi router with ADSL) An HSPDA modem is a device that allows the user to access mobile broadband. What you'll want to make sure you have is an HSDPA Router, also sometimes known as a hot spot. Then it should support multiple devices. You will need to check the specification for your device to see how many devices it can support. If you are connecting the desktop computer to the router via USB, you probably won't be able to connect to multiple devices at the same time. However, you can connect multiple mobile devices to the router at the same time. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Free Office Apps Just Got Easier To Use If you have an Outlook.com or Hotmail address, you also have access to free web app versions of Microsoft Office that you can access from anywhere. Now Microsoft has added a new feature that makes the apps even easier to navigate. Let's check it out. If you aren't familiar with the Office web apps, it's not surprising. They are sort of tucked away in Outlook.com. Go your Outlook.com account and select that little drop-down arrow in the upper-left of your inbox. You'll see the option to choose Mail, People, Calendar or Skydrive. Choose Skydrive. Once in Skydrive, you'll see a + symbol. If you select, it you'll have the option to create Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and plain text documents. I chose to create a Word Document, you can see that it looks pretty familiar if you're a Word User. A new feature that Microsoft has recently added is called "Tell Me." Say I want to take a certain action. I can start typing it in the search field and Word will offer suggestions as to the action I'd like to take. The wording doesn't have to be exact and it's easier than searching through help. Selecting the action applies the action. If I selected "increase indent," I would increase the indent of the paragraph I was working on. If I type font, I'll get a drop-down menu with several option. By choosing Font Color, the menu to change colors appears immediately. With so many options available in Word, it can often be very confusing to find what you need. I hope Microsoft considers adding this function to future Office 365 updates. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Tablets, Laptops & iPads: What's The Difference? William from Las Vegas writes: What is the difference between Let's start off with the differences between a laptop and a tablet. A laptop or notebook computer is a portable fully functional PC or Mac that comes with an attached keyboard and runs full versions of the Windows or OS operating system. These devices can be used on or offline. They may or may not offer a touchscreen. A netbook is a smaller Windows device, that also comes with an attached keyboard that is designed for accessing the Internet. A Chromebook is a device designed for accessing the Internet using the Google Chrome operating system. It functions using Apps from Google and needs to be online for optimum use. A Chromebook also has a built-in keyboard. A tablet is a device that functions using ... Want more? Head on over to WorldStart!
Comic Books On Your Laptop Or Tablet Remember standing at the magazine rack reading comic books while your mom did the shopping? Well, I sure do, all all these years later I am still a huge comic book fan. I married an even bigger comic book geek, (so much so that many people know him by the nickname of "Comic Book Guy.") I'm also a bit of an electronics geek, so I am a big fan of Comixology. Comixology is a free app (though most of the content costs) that brings your favorite comics and graphic novels right to your phone or tablet. The app is available for iOs, Android and Windows phones and tablets and you can also use the Comixology website if you don't have a smartphone or tablet. They offer all of the major comic titles, you'll find Superman, Batman, The X-men and Avengers plus a wide variety of things you might have not be familiar with. Digital version of comics are frequently available the same day the paper copy arrives at comic stores. Want more? Head on over to WorldStart?
PS4 vs. Xbox One Part 2: Tech Specs First off, let me say that I don't expect what you're going to read in this article to turn you from one console to the other. If you are, like me, a long-time Playstation user, this won't turn you to Xbox 1 or vice-versa. This is more for those users that are on the fence. Those users who want to engage in the console wars, but haven't really decided which way they're going to go. But, unless you are a true gear head, this may not make the decision for you either. You're more likely to go with whichever system more of your friends use. Let me also say that there aren't major differences between the two. The Playstation line has historically had slightly better graphics, while the Xbox line has historically had a more lively on line community. But we're not talking great graphics vs. cruddy graphics or an online community where you can find everyone vs. an online community where you can only find your granny.

Parkopedia The one thing I hate about traveling, be it to another city or a long road trip, is trying to figure out where to park! It's very easy to use too! All you have to do is type in the location you want to go to and click the Find Parking button. It then will display a map, with parking lots marked on it. When you click a marker it pops up with information about that lot. For example: Parking Restrictions, Type, Height Restrictions, Hours, and Price. Here check out this example, it's a map of parking lots accessible to the Toledo Museum of Art. It will give you a good idea of how the map interface works. Back on the main page you also have the option to check out popular searches. This brings up Cities, Airports, and Attractions. I think this is a great resource to take the anxiety out of finding a place to park. ~Amanda Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a cool, non-commercial site that you want to share?Send it to Amanda at amanda@worldstart.com
