I set up AT&T SmartLimits on my children's cellphones so I could disable them late at night and block a few creeps from communicating with them. Apparently I was too zealous, however, and one of the blocked numbers is actually a friend. How do I unblock a specific cell phone number in SmartLimits?

I've switched over to Microsoft Windows 8 from Windows Vista (yeah, I know, I should have immediately jumped to Win7) and one of my programs no longer works. I checked with the vendor and they said that it's because ASP.NET isn't automatically enabled in Win8. That's weird. How do I get it running on my Windows 8 system?

Too bad! Salt Lake, with the publishing support of Zynga (cue the boos and hisses), has released... a multiplayer infinite runner. What? That's right! One of, if not the first of its kind, Running with Friends features asynchronous head-to-head. Zynga, however, is notorious for business practices bordering on flat-out evil, and money-sucking game mechanics that are obnoxious at best.

After seeing the success of Jetpack Joyride, Temple Run 1 and 2, Canabalt, Mega Jump, etc. to the nth, simply hearing about another runner instinctively inspires a yawn in many of us. With such a big player bringing a new title to the well-worn genre, and with the brand new factor of multiplayer, it's important to check out whether or not a grand splash has been made!

I'm a newbie with Wordpress and have been told by more than one blogging expert that it's important I keep my plugins updated since there are apparently lots of hackers who use plugin holes to sneak in and mess things up.

I use iCal [actually, it's now called "Calendar" -DT] on my MacBook extensively because of how neatly it syncs with my iPhone calendar through iCloud. I add an event and it's everywhere. Very nice. What I don't like is that if I set an event, tap it as "done" so the reminder vanishes, there's no way to have a post-event alarm or reminder appear. Or is there?

Google's at it again. They've totally changed Google Plus, just when I'd gotten used to the current view. Now it's showing me updates from my friends and colleages all over the page, in three columns. Looks way too much like Pinterest and frankly it gives me a headache as I have to keep looking all the heck over the screen to keep up. Can I force it to stay in the original one-column view?

My son is in a band and he frequently sends me songs that they've recorded for me to hear what they're playing.
