I recently joined and downloaded some MakeUseOf stuff, but I can't seem to open PDF files. Any suggestions? I'm not much of a computer geek.

You could try Adobe's PDF reader. It can be downloaded at www.adobe.com for free. There are many more pdf readers too. According to me most widely used is Adobe.
