I’m a big fan of the Spotlight search service on Mac OS X except it’s also indexing my cloud storage folders. That’s dumb. I want to exclude Dropbox and Google Drive. How is that done?
You’ve heard it before, you can’t get good bass from a small speaker so if you want something portable, you have to be ready to make sacrifices in the sound quality.

I have an unusual file organization system on my Win7 laptop and am wondering how I can ensure that the Windows 7 search system is indexing all of my folders?
I have heard that there are lots of lectures and related available through iTunes University (iTunesU). Nice. I’m a history buff. How can I find good lectures to download onto my iPhone?
I love emoticons and emoji and use them all the time. I was thrilled to read that Apple’s latest iOS and Mac OS X updates now include various racial and ethnic variations on common emoji. Finally. But, how do I use them on my old iPhone 5, or am I shut out?
I love Pinterest but only use it on my PC. Can you show me how to pin photos from my iPhone 6 Plus too?

Spend a day with this on your wrist, however, and you’ll realize that it’s of incredibly limited value: every time you get any sort of notification, an icon pops up and you’ll end up pulling out your phone to see what it is anyway.
I set up a four digit PIN on my Windows 8 tablet to make it quick and easy for me to log in without my more complicated Microsoft Live password. But now the PIN isn’t working. How do I get in?
