Like many other people right now, I’m in the midst of watching my house transform as a direct result of Marie Kondo’s best-selling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. As the title suggests, the book powerfully explains how to properly keep any room tidy, in the process helping you resolve lingering issues in your life. Thanks to positive press, strong word of mouth, and surprisingly tangible results, Tidying Up is rapidly taking minimalism mainstream, bucking an age-old trend towards hoarding untold quantities of stuff and leaving it scattered around one’s living and working spaces....

I’ve never been a fan of the stock Mail app in OS X, so I generally find myself relying on Gmail inside of Chrome for all of my email needs. In fact, I don’t have any email accounts configured inside of the stock Mail app at all. With this in mind, I always get frustrated when I inadvertently click a mailto link inside of a browser window. Doing so forces the Mail app, which is set as the default mail client in OS X, to open without purpose....

Why Healthcare and Why Now? It wasn’t until relatively recently that hospitals and medical providers became targets of hackers and thieves. While this could be said to be an indirect result of the Affordable Care Act, which requires providers to allow patients easy access to their medical records, it’s also due to the inevitable shift to digital recordkeeping that has been in motion for decades. These factors have led to a concerted drive to go completely electronic, creating websites and patient portals where users can easily login and view or download what they need....

Composable software is a system design principle that deals with the inter-relationships of components. A highly composable system provides components that can be selected and assembled in various combinations to satisfy specific user requirements. The role of unified communications (UC) and contact center (CC) has changed over the past couple of years, driven by the pandemic. Prior to COVID-19, these applications were important but arguably not business-critical. Today, the world has changed, and more than half of all employees are working remotely for at least the time being, and customer interactions have shifted to being digital-first....

With the new MacBook Pro models not exactly cheap (especially for Brits), we all need as much help as we can get in paying for them. A decent chunk of the purchase cost for many of us will be raised by selling our old Macs, either ahead of time or once we have our shiny new Macs all set up and behaving themselves. If you just want a quick sale with no hassle, then our trade-in service is the simplest option....

I myself fall victim to this problem, and I was very pleased to know that my Nexus device could use some form of external storage. Now I’ll show you how you can add external memory to your device. This will be particularly useful for Nexus 7 users, because the tablet, apart from not having SD card support, it has only 16GB or 32GB memory, but after formatting the tablet, you are left with a bit over half its size....

The device is impacting everywhere right now, with Apple’s iPhone component partners in particularly jubilant mood as millions of the devices shift every 13 weeks. Don’t believe us? Just take a look at a gaggle of small Taiwanese firms – Yageo, Cyntec, Polytronics Technology, Mag.Layers Scientific-Technics, Thinking Electronic and TXC – all of whom faced steep revenue decline in the current quarter in the generally depressed tech market. As we know, Apple isn’t part of the “generally depressed tech market”, which is why those small firms are breathing a little easier following this week’s Apple results call, as they now know they’re going to see, “narrower revenue declines or flat revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 thanks to the popularity of Apple’s iPhone”....

This is true, however, only for professionals that are able to develop the highly specialized skills that employers are looking for today. Not all cybersecurity positions will earn you stellar salaries. As the cybersecurity demand grows, in fact, so does the job specialization with roles that are evolving and becoming more and more specific: security analysts or consultants, security architects or engineers, security administrators or software developers....

There are over 20 loosely connected horror films with Amityville in the title, and here’s why the tide of Amityville entries probably won’t stop. Horror is full of long-running franchises, some harder to comprehend than others. For example, it’s doubtful anyone involved with the first Leprechaun movie expected it to get seven sequels. It’s also doubtful the producers of Children of the Corn expected that series to produce ten films, creating horror’s most boring franchise along the way....
