Dave writes: I need help! It seems like I'm sending dozens of repeat LinkedIn invitations to my friends and contacts. I certainly didn't mean to do it, I only intentionally sent out invitation to a select group of people I work with. Dave, it's not an unusual problem and the solution is not a pretty one. The issue probably started when you first joined LinkedIn and it asked if you wanted to sent an invitation to your contacts. If you purposely or accidentally said yes, your friends won't get just one invitation. They will get regular reminders until they accept or decline the invitation. Always take a close look at any option to send something to all of your contacts when signing up for a service or app. One click can cause your contacts to be flooded with things like game requests. There's a way to fix it, but it's not pretty or easy. You will need to withdraw each individual invitation. Go to this link https://www.linkedin.com/inbox/invitations/sent There will be a list of all the invitations sent by your account. Invitations that have been accepted with have (Accpeted) next to them. If it doesn't say accepted, it is still a pending invitation and you can withdraw. You may see a lot of names you don't recognize. When LinkedIn has permission to use contacts from your e-mail account, it will consider everyone who has ever sent you an e-mail a potential contact and issue invites to everyone in your inbox. Click on the name of the person and then select Withdraw. You'll need to open each invitation individually and click on the Withdraw option. ~ Cynthia Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
Use Puush To Capture & Share Screenshots: Part 1 When it comes to sharing screenshots, whether it be with friends or with customer support, the process of taking and sharing the screenshot can be a little cumbersome. The process usually involves selecting the window you have a problem with, pressing the Print Screen button to take a snapshot of the entire desktop (or ALT+Print Screen for just the active window), taking the screenshot to an image editor like Paint, pasting it inside, cropping the image to show the point of interest, saving the file to the desktop, and then sending the file to whoever needs it. A lot of steps for just sharing a picture! There is a much better way of sending screenshots, however. Puush is an app that can be downloaded for Windows, Mac and iPhone. It allows the user to create screenshots with little to no effort, uploads the screenshot to the puush cloud, and then gives a direct link to the screenshot to share. All you have to do is select where to screenshot, and the app will do the rest. So, let's check out puush, and see what you can do with this excellent app. First of all, head over to www.puush.me to download the application. Select from the Windows, Mac or iPhone options, depending on the operating system that you use. iPhone users can go to their App Store. Once you have installed puush, you will probably notice that not much is happening. That is because puush runs mostly on the taskbar. You can find the puush icon here. So, now that you have puush installed, what kind of screenshots can you take? Let's say I want to take a screenshot of the following scene on my desktop. Want more? Check out WorldStart!
Lloyd from Washington writes: I have a question about win XP,If win XP is so prone to attacks why did Microsoft allow it,to continue. I'm guessing that Sp 1,2,3 were just band aids.To me this is like driving a car with a flat tire,you know it's flat, but you continue any way saying I can still drive. When XP was introduced, it was a different online world . A system that was fairly secure for computing in 2001, isn't very secure these days. Computers have become more and more connected to the cloud and users spend more time online and are exposed to threats in ways that might not have been considered back when XP came out. I kind of like that tire analogy, so let's roll with that. That tire really didn't start to have trouble until a few years had gone by. Microsoft did keep patching that leaky tire for years with security patches. As far as "allowing" it to continue, they sold the operating system to people, they can't go around removing it from their computers. The company promises extended support for operating systems for 10 years beyond the date of release. Since XP came out in 2001, they've already extended the free tire patching 3 extra years because it was such a popular product. Just click WorldStart for more on this tip!
Add A Soft Glow With The Orton Effect I'm going to show you how to add the Orton Effect to your images using Photoshop. The Orton Effect adds a dreamy, glowing, misty effect to photos. It was originally created by Michael Orton for use with film images. Of course, these days, we can achieve the same effect with Photoshop with a lot less work. Many people see it as a special effect that you add to photos from time to time, but you can use it more than that if applied properly. The key is to use is subtly and only on selected areas of the image. Most of the time, you won't even notice it's there. And, of course, that's the whole idea. Let's open up Photoshop and start with the image below. If you're working with just one layer, we'll want to to duplicate layer to apply the Orton Effect. On a Mac hit...

Hey everyone, it's me, and I just found something REALLY cool, so I'm trying to get this out to you immediately! Okay, so these awesome lights just came into the office and I'm blown away! My supplier sent them special order knowing how much we like anything that lights up over here... and they guessed right that I'd love these too! First off, you just have to see them, because it's such an incredible "duh!" design that I can't believe I've never seen before! See here: It's a mobile light shaped like your typical lightbulb! Except this one is packed with a CRAZY powerful LED, comes with a 2" carabiner, and runs off batteries so it's portable! There's a reason they hang lightbulbs up in rooms and not flashlights - the bulb design spreads out light and gives you a wider field of illumination! One light bulb can light up an entire room that would take 10-15 flashlights aimed all over the place! That's why you're going to love this thing. Turn it on and EVERYTHING around you will light up. Even lanterns can't compete with the standard bulb design - it's simply the best! With a rubberized body you can hold it just like a standard mobile light, or you can use the carabiner to hold it up somewhere! You can actually use this to give any room an instant light that functions just like the real thing (without all the wiring and electric work!) And the best part is they're ONLY $3.97! These actually COMPLETELY sold out last week, so I've been begging my supplier to send us more... and they did! I don't know how long this second shipment will last, though, so make sure you get yours before they disappear - AGAIN! http://store.worldstart.com/product/10097
