Find Almost Any Facebook Fan Page

Master — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:44:37 +0000

Facebook fans of certain companies receive periodic, steep discounts and sale notifications. However, not every company that offers these discounts advertises their Facebook presence, meaning we do not always think to search for them.

Set Email Notifications for Craigslist

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 11:37:42 +0000

Craigslist is a great place to find things—from jobs to pets to exercise equipment. Unfortunately, most items sell quickly on Craigslist, meaning that if we do not answer ads as soon as they are posted, we may miss a great deal or opportunity. No one has time to constantly monitor Craigslist’s new postings, which is why some sort of third-party notification system can be an a major time-saver.

Compare Travel Costs Between Driving, Flying or Riding the Bus

Master — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:54:53 +0000

Traveling by air has become a major hassle. We must arrive at the airport two hours before our flight is scheduled to depart, unpack and repack our computers for security, take off and put on our shoes for security, and then hope we are not selected for a more invasive random search. So, our hour and a half flight to paradise now takes more like four hours… so is it worth the extra cost over driving

Rearrange and Scroll Taskbar Tabs in Windows

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 12:12:15 +0000

Windows by default does not allow users to re-arrange the position of the taskbar tabs. An application that is opened first will also be the first one on the taskbar — first opened first on taskbar (FOFT). Although this is not a major concern to ordinary computer users, it is, however, to web designers, programmers, writers, and CAD operators.
