If you're heading out to check out your local fireworks show tonight
don't forget to bring along your camera. Unsure of how to take great action shots of those nighttime displays. I've rounded up some tips to help you snap those fireworks like a pro.

This tip actually comes courtesy of
Netflix, after they were beginning to kill me by sending unplayable disc after unplayable disc. The first offender, (a
How I Met Your Mother DVD, if you must know), refused to play in my DVD player, so I pulled out all my tricks to clean it (except for the ol'
toothpaste trick, which I was tempted to try, but since I didn't own the disc, I had reservations), to no avail, so I reported it unplayable, and Netflix sent another copy of the DVD.
Would you believe it, the next HIMYM disc they sent would also not play. By then I was angry and cursing the Netflix gods as I signed in to my profile to tell them yes, you sent me another crappy DVD that I can't play.

I'm sure you all know and love
eVite for sending quick and easy invitations. But I've come across an interesting situation with some of my non-tech-savvy pals: they can go days (even weeks) without checking their email, causing them to miss out on fun evenings cause they didn't get the notice. Can you imagine?.

Sweet. You just purchased a
32GB Edge flash drive to store your files, but now you're wondering what the heck this drive can actually hold — how many MP3s. Movies.

I love typing in www.google.con or yelp.lom to be told that the address cannot be found. I freak out, tell Firefox it's an idiot, and then head to
downforeveryoneorjustme.con, at which point I develop an ulcer until I realize that it was just my butterfingers making me enter typos into the address bar.
URL Fixer is like my Zen-master — it keeps me calm by fixing my misspelled urls. After you tell it to confirm confirmations, you'll get a pop up asking you if you meant their suggestion (which appear to be pretty accurate so far!).
