"Did you know that you can dry out your wet cell phone by putting its parts in separate bowls of uncooked rice? That you can scroll through a website using only your spacebar? That if you type your airline and flight number in to Google, it tells you where your flight is, the gate, terminal, and how long until it lands? When David Pogue gave this kind of advice in the New York Times, his columns were consistently the most e-mailed of the week. When he gave a TED Talk of his tips, 1.3 million people watched it in the first 90 days. Pogue's tips have earned him 1.5 million followers on Twitter. And now that he writes his columns for Yahoo Tech, the audience for this advice has grown by millions more. Here at last is the book all these fans have been waiting for: a book of 200 tips that will change your relationship to your phone, computer, tablet, camera--all of the technology in your life. A layflat format makes this the perfect reference book that you can turn to time and time again to pick up more helpful cheats for all your devices. At last, you can lose the nagging, insecure feeling that you're not the master of your own gadgets; the tech tips in Pogue's Basics are all you need to get by...the shortcuts to a happier technological life"--… (plus d'informations)

There were some tips I found useful. ( )

In Pogue’s Basics, the author discusses various shortcuts and ideas to make your technology life easier. Whether you are 8 or 80 you probably have a few pieces of technology somewhere in your house. It could be a voice-activated toaster, a refrigerator that connects to the internet, or a computer of some kind. David Pogue is the author of this particular series, and it is quite helpful if you never play around with your technology. It offers up shortcuts and hidden settings for Apple Products, Tablets, Smartphones, Windows products, Android phones, and other miscellaneous items. It talks about things that everyone should know about their gadgets. All in all, there are 225 different pieces of advice in this slim volume.

The book is enjoyable. It was published in 2014, making it slightly dated. To illustrate this, it only covers Windows up to 8.1 and Macintosh up to OS X 10.9. It talks about phone operating systems as well, but that is not too interesting to me. ( )

I loved Pogue’s 6-minute 2013 TED Talk, 10 Top Time-saving Tech Tips, and this book has 200+ more. They relate to hardware (PC and Mac computers; phones; tablets; cameras) and software (web browsers; websites; smartphone apps; email; Office; Google; Facebook; Twitter), mostly with the goal of increasing efficiency or decreasing annoyance, usually by revealing alternative navigations/commands that keep your hands on the keyboard instead of bouncing back and forth from keyboard to mouse. Of the group, a dozen or two were as helpful as the ten mentioned in his TED Talk. ( )

About 90% of this is great, the other 10% can be encapsulated in this quote from page 217

"For years, the most commonly chosen password in the world was, believe it or not, the word password.
"Fortunately, people are getting smarter. As of 2014, password was no longer the No. 1 most used password.
"The new No. 1 password? 123456. Good job, America."

America is not the world, about 10% of this book is Amerocentric and that's fine, but for a book trying to be as smart as it is that struck a bum note with me, if it had tossed in some "for Americans" and "check with your service providers" it would have been a 5 star book. I've been a geek for years and it gave me some new ideas and information about tweets and fun shortcuts.

I will add one of my own. If you look at the autocorrect in Word, as of now I'm using Office Word 2007 and it's in the Windows menu-> word options->Proofing->autocorrect options under the replace text as you type heading put stuff you type all too regularly in there, like long company names, you can give them a short option that allows you to type long regularly used phrases without having to actually type them.
