It's been a few years since I looked at a print version of "Writer's Digest," but there would regularly be ads stating Kleenex was a brand name for facial tissue. A number of companies, like Xerox, would do the same thin

I use Office at work. Through Microsoft's Home Use Program (HUP) I can buy a copy for home. As long as I can buy a copy for $9.95 -- I've bought the last four versions through HUP -- Amazon doesn't stand a chance. Neither doe

While my bank (credit union) has deployed ATMs with chip readers, they've been slow to deploy cards with chips. As near as I can tell, they're replacing the debit cards on their regular cycle.

It would depend on the operation. Back in 1982, I had surgery to repair several ligaments in my knee. The plan was for me to be awake for the entire operation. (They gave me headphones and let me pick a radio station.) The neural block did

No, that's a list of phones that support the nextradio app. I did not buy my Sony Z3 and Z3 Compact from my carrier (T-Mobile). They work fine -- T-Mobile once offered a branded Z3 -- as does the FM radio. Neither phone will support th

I do. Whenever I am in the office, 2-3 days a week, I listen for about five hours a day. A radio is just easier, especially since I don't like headphones or ear buds. At home, at night, I'll sometime listen to the radio, eve thoug

An Executive Order would not do it, it would take a new FCC ruling or Congress. Besides, Obama will still be President on 2 January. The Inauguration is 20 January.

I use "Graffiti Pro for Android" (Access Co,. LTD). I prefer it to using the onscreen keyboard, I used my Palm Vx extensively, so I got very good with Graffiti. I like it; however, I don't know if I would use it if I did not

I created one on Monday, without a phone number. I did provide a (@outlook.com) recovery email. I did not try to create a Google Voice number for it though and I think that does require a phone number.

Sony provided an update to 6.0.1 I did not think the bloatware was as bad as a carrier-branded phone and most of it appears easy enough to delete. For a personal phone, I'd buy the Z3C again. (For my second, work phone, I liked the Z3C

I think part of that is the time involved. Watching Bolt takes 10 seconds -- the entire event can be shown on the evening news. Not as many people sit and watch the 10,000 meters and even less an entire marathon. The more time involved, the

I'm sure it's because of the license and disclaimer. We actually used Interactive EasyFlow back when it came out. It was a nice product; but, now, all anyone might remember is the "bloodthirsty licensing agreement." It&#

If you pull your SIM and then turn on the phone, you should get a message saying it can only be used in emergencies. If I pull my SIMM, it scrolls "No SIM Inserted | Emergency calls only" across the top of the lock screen.

In some places, it can be illegal, as well. In Virginia (U.S.), it's illegal to operate a vehicle while wearing headphones/ear buds. The statute calls out motor vehicles, bikes, electric bikes, and mopeds.

More often than not, they're not mounted correctly. When it comes to headlights, too many cyclists (most?) do not think of their bike as a vehicle. The headlight should be a solid light and the light beam should not be parallel to the

Sony still includes a FM radio. The Xperia Z5 has one. As said elsewhere in this thread, though, their phones are more prevalent elsewhere in the world, not in the U.S. Although I have a Sony Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact, neither was bought thr
