computers

You want to talk about the lowest of the lowest of the low?  They are scammers - people who especially use a tragedy to attempt to profit off it.  I can't BELIEVE that I even have to spread the word about this, but as a public service....

It seems like every day there is a new feature on Facebook that we have to get used to!  Well, there may be another one coming soon!

Today I had the distinct honor of filling in for Richie with "Tech Talk", if you are unaware it is a feature we do every Wednesday at 7:20 am in which we try to find ways that technology can help you in your everyday life. This week , I tried to find a couple of fun "Apps" that you could try and maybe even make things more fun if not easier for you.

Spam calls - the worst! First they bother you at home while you are eating, and now you're starting to get them when you are out and about.  I keep getting one from Texas all of the time trying to get me to buy a timeshare.  There's probably no way to eliminate these things, but I read about a little trick that I thought I'd share

The internet is a great place at times. Most of the time, however, it is a huge cesspool that can showcase the absolute worst in people. This is a story of the latter. A computer virus has been going around that claims to be the United States Department Of Justice, that will ask for your money and leave you locked out of your own computer.

Computer on the "fritz"?  Have you just given up the ghost and figured it's easier to just ask Santa for another one?  Maybe a good idea, maybe unnecessary.   Here's a place where you can find out

Asking someone if they are having computer difficulties is like asking them if they inhale oxygen every day - it's kind of a no brainer.  It's the nature of the beast.  Our Tech Talk sponsor, Computer Renaissance of Latham is here for you and basically "on call" on the Sean and Richie Show

Is your pasword strong? Is it easily hackable!  Most are, believe it or not.  We'll count down the stupid ones.  I also have a very dumb app that is extremely popular (go figure) and some very intelligent questions for our computer gurus at Computer Renaissance.  Let's do  it, shall we?

This question came in to my Tech Talk desk (which is the same desk that I use for everything else - it just makes me sound more important).  MaryAnn from Albany asked a question that baffled me, but our One Stop Technology Shop had the answer and made me look smart

Coming up this Wedesday on Tech Talk we are going to get to the bottom of yet another gnawing computer related problem.  You just worked hours on a slideshow for your kid's birthday.  Nice job!  Now how do you show it to everyone?

Are you cursing that laptop of yours? Do you suffer from a daily desktop dilemma? No need to feel alone- there is now a support group of sorts at your service , so ask your question below and we will answer it on next Wednesday's Sean and Richie Show on TECH TALK

Do you have a computer related question?  We had a great one today that I really couldn't answer myself.  That's why we have a professional on call to help
