As with almost everything these days, there’s a lot of advice about computers being bandied about by all sorts of folk. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it indifferent, for that matter?
Bryan Clark, at MakeUseOf, posted a very interesting article on computer myths this morning. It deals with hardware, software, religious (of sorts) beliefs, etc. Short, sweet, and to the point; check it out: 10 Common Computer Myths You Need To Stop Believing.

You better not have been…
See you next month.
That’s my story; I’m sticking to it!
Zach Epstein, over on BGR, has a bad habit of posting lists of cool iPhone/iPad(/iPod Touch)(/Apple Watch) apps that are temporarily free.
Here’s the fine print:
These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now – obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get”, it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
I’m Dave Seah, probably best known as a designer of paper-based productivity tools such as The Emergent Task Planner. I also develop interactive software for installation-based learning applications.
You can catch Dave’s complete story here: Dave Seah’s Mac and iPad setup.
