Looking for a way to find a file that you downloaded ages ago, but simply cannot remember where it is located?

Tired of waiting ages for a Windows file search operation to complete?

Sick of the new 'Windows Search' indexer eating up your system resources and slowing your machine down?

Wish you could search your computer as fast as you can search on Google?

Look no further...

Internet Explorer 10: Having problems?

Many people have experienced issues after upgrading to Internet Explorer 10, particularly with older sites that are not actively updated/maintained (government sites, school sites, etc). I personally have had tremendous luck resolving most of these types of issues simply by enabling the Compatibility mode feature. This is incredibly easy to use for any page that appears to load incorrectly. Simply click the icon [to the right of the address bar] that looks like a paper ripped in half horizontally.

Android App Review: Swype Beta Keyboard

As I'm writing this review, I'm actually using the Swype Beta keyboard from my Droid Razor. I have to say it's my favorite keyboard so far.

I used the older Swype for a short period of time, but it simply left something to be desired... It wasn't always super fast, word recognition was mediocre, and the aesthetics were nothing special. After that I moved to the 'hacker's keyboard' in favor of the sleek design and additional keys/features (like the directional arrows on the full keyboard).

Recently I read that Swype had released a new beta version. What initially caught my eye was the Dragon integration for voice recognition/speech to text (for those who don't know what that is, Dragon is a product by Nuance that has been around for ages. They are easily the top company in voice recognition. IPhone's Siri is actually built off of it).

There were a few small hoops that I had to jump through to get the keyboard, as it is not yet available in the market. I had to register for the beta, confirm my email address, download the "beta installer" then use that to actually download/install the keyboard. You'll want to make sure you select the option to allow you phone to install apps from unknown sources (this can be done in the applications manager found in your Android's settings page).

Using an android? Give Beta Swype a shot :) http://beta.swype.com/

Reseal your 'un-resealable' bags with a water/soda bottle

Image from Lifehacker

I know it's been a while, but here's a tip I thought was absolutely clever. I remember reading about it in the past, but it was brought to my attention again, and figured I should start actually doing it. Basically, you cut the top 1/3 of a bottle with a screw top lid (probably can't use the latest and greatest water bottles that are using those ultra thin lids), feed the top of the bag that you want resealed through the bottle (pushing it up through the 'bottom'), open up the bag and drop the sides down over the top of the bottle. Then put the cap on. Poof, your bag has been resealed for freshness!

That may sound a little confusing, but hit one of the links below for a better picture of what I'm actually talking about.
