Christian upgraded to OSX Lion this summer and can't stand having to click "unlock" EVERY TIME he opens a PDF document to do highlighting. (We hate it in Textpad, too!) Can you permanently turn off versioning and locked files??? Find out in the video!
Walt writes, "I was under the impression that Time Machine would keep a rolling backup going and that when it needed the space it would Apple-Magically delete old data when it needed to do so. Is this not the case? Is it prudent to prune my Time Machine backup?" Veronica explains how she trims down Time Machine backups, and how to take individual files out of Time Machine, in the video!
Nathan caught our Spring Cleaning video on oiling PC fans and writes, "I was just wondering what type of tape you would put on the fan after applying the 3 in 1 oil?" Assuming you don't want fancy carbon fiber tape, we've got the info in the video!
Want an incredibly useful multitool on your belt at all times? So does @rjfnc who tweets, "@patricknorton which Leatherman do you have? Looking to get one for myself." Patrick owns at least five, watch the video to find out which model Leatherman he never leaves the house without!
Kyle Wiens and iFixit are about a state of mind, not just selling iPhone parts, but making it easier for people to fix anything that's broken. We talk to Kyle about how PCs get recycled and re-used in communities in Africa and India, what makes the new iPad so incredibly hard to repair, and why this isn't good for consumers, or the planet.
Want to watch a streaming TV show or movie RIGHT NOW? Check out TV and Movies NOW, which will show you an updated list of all the streaming content that's available on Netflix or Amazon streaming. And you can search out what's about to expire and leave the streaming service, find out if it has closed captioning or a 5.1 soundtrack and much more! It'a a great tool for discovering stuff to watch, and this week's "Website We Just Can't Get Enough Of!"
Benjamin has a lot of RAM installed in his PC and wants to know, can he put that RAM to good use with by turning it into a RAM disk? RAMDisk and ImDisk are free tools that make system memory behave like a free SSD. But we explain why Benjamin's Win7 install practically has a RAM Disk built in already!
The Tekzilla audience does it again! We got two super helpful follow-ups to our trojan/malware/virus removal segment from last week. Randy writes in to tell us why we should keep ComboFIx from Bleeping Computers on tap for infected Windows PCs, while Mackenzie, who deals with three or more infected PCs a day, wrote up an awesomely detailed HowTo for cleaining PCs using ComboFix in combination with Kapersky's TDSSKiller. Awesome!
