How Often Should I Charge My Gadget's Battery to Prolong Its Lifespan?

Some iPad Management Tips We have FINALLY gotten cases for our iPad 2s! Hooray! In honor of these new accessories, I wanted to share some quick iPad management tips with everyone: 1 - Color code your iPad cases for easy 1:1 access We have 5 students at each table and have assigned each seat a color. 2- Create desktop backgrounds to show numeration The cases cover the backs - where we originally had numerated stickers showing which iPad was which. I did it this way - rather than creating the image on the iPad - for two reasons. 3 - Create shortcuts to frequently visited sites (Study Island, Class Google Site, etc) Open your iPad's Safari app and type in the URL of the site that you'd like to visit. 4 - Create differentiated folders for apps Group your apps into folders based on level. 5 - Try "Send to Dropbox" Instead of flooding your inbox with student work emails every day, try Send to Dropbox, a site that allows your students to send to a generated address which dumps files into your dropbox folder.

MainStage 2.2.1: Optimizing latency in MainStage 2.2.1 What is latency? Audio latency is the phenomenon of sound reaching the ear at some point after it was created. In the natural world, latency is caused by physical distance from the sound source. Managing Latency in MainStage MainStage 2.2.1 offers three settings that influence the amount of latency for the system. Click the Advanced Settings button on the Audio Preferences panel. I/O Buffer Size The first, and most important of the settings is the I/O Buffer Size drop-down menu. As you make changes to the I/O Buffer Size, you will see a large change in the Current Roundtrip Latency, as displayed in milliseconds along the bottom of the Advanced Audio Settings panel. You can click on the Current Roundtrip Latency display to toggle it to show only the Current Output Latency. Smaller settings result in a shorter latency, but may mean you can use fewer channel strips and plug-ins simultaneously before you notice unwanted artifacts as you play.

Hopefully those that didn't know about it (or were never motivated to try it) will give it a shot now! Yep. Of course, there are over 150 articles on LH that refer to CHDK. thanks, Whitson! also an aside, thanks to you and the rest of the LH editorial staff for keeping LifeHacker relatively free of all the bleeding heart liberal garbage that the rest of the gawker sites are spewing out.... as if anyone was looking for an unsolicited liberal slant on sports (deadspin) or video games (kotaku) or even autos (jalop). also i stopped reading gizmodo years ago after they couldnt get Apple's d*** out of their mouth. I tried it out a few years ago when I found out my Cannon PowerShot SX10IS wouldn't keep the shutter open long enough for some of the stuff I was trying to do.

Solved: What exactly does factory image restore do? - Dell Community Well thanks Manshu but, honestly, that was a non-answer. You did not answer my first question -- and this really is important to me, and, although I read the item you suggested, it remains very unclear what this restore will do. First: I have paid for a licence for WIndows 8--an OEM version provided for Dell. It sounds as though restore is a customized version of the Windows installer that hides many installation steps and deliberately selects the "format partition" option of the Windows installer. I have multiple partitions on my drive. 10 extremely awesome iPad tips and tricks | 11 of 11 As you're most likely aware of, there are some default apps on the iPad that are there to stay. They can't be deleted, but they can all be moved into a group... that is, all but one: Newsstand. Yes, this annoying app (to me, at least) is never used by many iPad users, yet Apple's made it such that you cannot delete it or even put it in a group. Fortunately, there's a bit of a workaround for placing it in a group, though doing as such will make Newsstand lose functionality until removing it from the group (which doesn't matter, because you want it gone in the first place). From your home screen, long-press an app to get the apps to jiggle. Since I don't ever use any of the default apps (outside of the App Store, iTunes, and Game Center), I have an app group titled "Default Apps." Need gadgets or gift ideas?
