Android’s Quick Settings has been around long before Apple came up with a similar tray of settings and different manufacturers like to tweak or in the case of the Droid Turbo, not tweak this tray. The Motorola Droid Turbo on the Verizon Wireless network is one of the hottest phones of 2014. The phone has a mega battery, large display, front-facing speaker, and the works.

When I get a new phone to demo or for personal use one of the first things I need to figure out is how to capture what I see on the screen into a picture. This task is often called or referred to as a screenshot or print screen. In the past, Android didn’t have this feature embedded into the operating system, but there were apps that could easily help you out.

I am in the process of installing Windows XP on an HP Mini netbook and wanted to share a bit about the process I just had to go through to get here.
First the back story…
We recently sold this netbook at a yard sale. The funny thing was we didn’t even have this on display yet, I was behind schedule getting it ready for the sale, but the full-sized laptop I put in the sale on Friday was the first item to sell so I found the motivation to finish the project and get the netbook ready for Saturday’s customers. Before that could even happen, a friendly neighbor stopped by and offered to buy the netbook. Aimee showed it to her, but told her it wasn’t ready and she insisted she would wait until I finished it and that she indeed wanted this netbook. Cool!
