Years ago, at my previous job, my boss came into the office and asked a group of us if we had a spare cellphone charger. As everyone scrambled to help the boss out by offering their own cellphone charger, I pondered for a moment how odd it was that no one was bothering to ask him what model of phone he was using.

I came across a couple of racing games I hadn’t spotted on SourceForge before. They’re both well rated by the user base there, and they both promised to offer realistic physics engines that would make it feel like you’re really racing a sweet ride in the case of X Speed Race, and an insanely fast race car in the motorsport racing sim called Speed Dreams.

So, if you’re into fast-paced racing games, heart-pounding first person shooters, or edge-of-your-seat tower defense games, then you can click the back button now and find another article. This isn’t that kind of article. Here, we’re talking about turn-based strategy games that demand a strong intellect and a creative battle plan that will outsmart and outwit the competition.

Zombie first-person shooters: A license to kill and blow up everything that limps its way toward you wearing tattered clothes and a half-rotted face.

Well then get out your Android phones and tablets, and follow along with me as I explore 6 of the finest zombie shooting games Google Play has to offer.

I kept using ToDoist for free for a while. But kept coming up against things I wanted to do and couldn’t. Email reminders. Adding notes to task.

Wireless IP webcams are ideal of course, but what if you don’t want to spend $50 to $200 for each wireless webcam? Well, there’s another solution: creating just such a wireless surveillance network using not wireless webcams, but smartphones. Preferably old, worn out smartphones a few generations back that you left sitting in your bedroom dresser drawer.

The fact is, there area whole lot of people that fall into this category. Computers just aren’t a big part of their lives, it’s as simple as that. What they really need is an ultra-simple computer.

This is true for anyone that devotes a large portion of their time to the Internet. It may be bloggers trying to grow their website, technology workers working remotely, or just folks that get overly addicted to online games. The Internet can steal away many hours out of your day in the blink of an eye, and when you wake up you could discover that much of what you once loved is no longer there.

In this article, I’m going to show you how to import any data that might be stored in a table on any website on the Internet, into your Google Spreadsheet. Think about the enormous volume of data that’s available on the Internet today in the form of HTML tables. Wikipedia alone has data in tables for topics like global warming.

Most of the time, when you’re looking for directions or want to find a location, you probably go directly to Google Maps (or whatever your favorite mapping tool is) and look up the address. Well, that’s fine when you have the address, or you know the names of the city, town or location that you want to find.
