Just Ordered A Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire
I just ordered the Kindle Fire
to replace my original Kindle. Well, actually I pre-ordered it as it won’t ship until November 15, 2011. I love my Kindle, it’s the ipod of reading so i’m very excited to have what I already love but add the ability to stream movies and TV shows and surf the web if needed. Unfortunately the Kindle Fire only comes in a Wifi version but that keeps the price low at $199.99. Is the Kindle Fire an Ipad 2 killer? I’m not so sure but I do think it will sell extremely well and Amazon.com can expect existing Kindle customers to likely spend the money to upgrade to the Kindle Fire. More good news is that the original Kindle is down to a very reasonable $79 so sales of normal Kindle devices should skyrocket as we head into the holidays. This bodes VERY well for Amazon who has the best e-reader on the market and thus will capture a larger and larger share of the book marketplace.


So what can you do on the Kindle Fire? Well read books is obvious but now they are in color which can sometimes be handy when the book has any sort of graphics. In addition to a book library that makes your head spin, you’ll now have access to free and inexpensive movie and tv content. You can surf the web and if you already have Amazon Prime to get free 2 day shipping, you’ll also have free streaming of many videos and TV. Don’t forget you can also play games like Angry Birds on the Kindle Fire
just like you can on your iphone or PC. As if all these things weren’t enough you can check your email and with android apps to most anything you do on a smart phone.

The Kindle Fire
is 7.” weighs just over a pound and features 8GB of storage for your books, movies and applications. The battery will last up to 8 hours reading or playing video with the wifi turned off. You can recharge the Kindle Fire
in just 4 hours if needed. As far as what type of media or data files you can use on the device check out the list below. At just $199 I don’t see how you can go wrong owning a Kindle Fire.

Kindle (AZW), TXT, PDF, unprotected MOBI, PRC natively, Audible (Audible Enhanced (AA, AAX)), DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, non-DRM AAC, MP3, MIDI, OGG, WAV, MP4, VP8.

Internet Explorer Operation Aborted Error


I had a user experience an Internet Explorer Operation Aborted error with many pages she would visit. She was running Internet Explorer 7 which is known for the Operation Aborted error. The solution in my case was simple I upgraded her Internet Explorer 7 to Internet Explorer 8 and the Operation Aborted error no longer appeared. I would imagine upgrading to Internet Explorer 9 would resolve this error as well.

Unemployment Login Websites


If you are receiving unemployment benefits or are thinking you might need unemployment benefits you’ll be concerned with the unemployment login website for your particular state. You see when you apply for unemployment benefits, you must submit your weekly claim for benefits by an online website or phone or in person statement of submitting your unemployment benefit claim. So if you know and are familiar with the unemployment login website for your state you are way ahead of others who will need this information to file a new claim, claim their weekly unemployment benefit, or dispute a claim for benefits.

Xerox Phaser Global Print Driver Cannot Duplex


If you are using a Xerox Phaser 3600dn or Xerox Phaser 3635 or any other Xerox printer / copier that uses the Xerox global print driver you might find that you cannot duplex. Your option to print two sided may be greyed out. The trick is to enable the functionality on the Xerox global print driver and then enable duplexing on your printer on the print server. Using a Xerox global priver PCL version you’d do the following.
Right click the printer and choose properties.
Click the Options tab.
Look under Device Options to see if you are in Basic Mode and if so click that and change to the specific model of your Xerox Phaser.
Click Ok and click the configuration tab.
Click Installable Options and enable the duplex unit.
Click Apply
Click Advanced and printing defaults.
Under the 2 Sided Printing option change to 2-sided print and hit apply.

How Do I Find My Recomputed 1040 For MN Form M1NC In TurboTax?


Wondering how you find your recomputed 1040 for MN? Are you using TurboTax and failing the error checking part due to needing a recomputed 1040 for MN form M1NC? What a pain in ass huh? Well here is how you can correct the TurboTax error and you don’t even need to find that recomputed TI on your Form 1040 or even do two 1040 forms as I first thought. I contacted TurboTax tech support over the chat and they found me this solution. I had done my state taxes in Turbotax before they updated the software with the fix for the recomputed 1040 for MN and oddly their update didn’t automatically fix the problem so I had to remove the state then re-add it and that calculated my Minnesota state taxes properly using the recomputed 1040 taxable in come. So to remove the Minnesota State taxes from TurboTax click File and click Remove State and allow it to remove the MN state taxes from your 1040. Then click on the State tab and choose Minnesota and you’ll have to walk through a bunch of Minnesota state tax questions you probably never saw before. Once you’ve answered those questions your proper Minnestoa state taxes will be done using the recomputed 1040 and you can then pass the error check in TurboTax.

Finding A Pet Photographer In Minnesota


One of the more challenging things to find is a good pet photographer. Every time we buy a new puppy my wife is looking for a Minnesota Pet Photographer who will be patient and reasonably priced. We have been going to Proex in Coon Rapids lately but with our latest puppy they had rabbits in the store for easter so would not photograph our puppy. My wife hit the internet looking for a Minnesota pet photography business that would help us capture the moment with our new Siberian Husky pup. She’s found a few places but is still looking for a great pet photographer that we can partner with to photograph our new puppy.

New Project Siberian Husky Toys


I just started what should be a very fun new project. I love buying my Siberian Huskies new toys, some have been great, some ok and immediately destroyed and some Siberian Husky Toys have been outstanding and we either have the originals, or have bought many many replacements. I decided to start a new blog that lets me track and inform other dog owners which toys have worked out the best for us and our dogs. It’s always fun when a project crosses over to something that I care very much about and in this case, the health, happiness and safety of my dogs is one of those crossover points. So immediatly I have several of my all time favorite dog toys that i’ll be posting and then maybe i’ll do some purchasing and review various dog toys. Eventually i’ll get to the duds that just didn’t work out and would likley be a waste of time. So if you have a Siberian Husky or any other large dog with lots of energy you might find this new project helpful.

GotoAssist Review


Are you looking for a GotoAssist Review? Well i’m happy to provide one. I’ve been a Citrix fan for a long time but specifically with Presentation Server however recently we’ve started using a new product for us from Citrix called GotoAssist. I couldn’t be more happy to provide a GotoAssist Review because this product has truly changed the way we perform our IT services. Previous to GotoAssist we used free tools like Remote Desktop and Offer Remote Assistance that are free with Windows XP. These tools sucked but were better than nothing. We evaluated GotoAssist and LogMeIn and while I enjoyed using both tools we bought GotoAssist because our TechSupport already had purchased this product. I very much like using GotoAssist and am happy to provide this review of the remote control product. So what do I like? Well it’s easy to use, you download the Citrix GotoAssist client at https://broker.gotoassist.com/haupgrade and logon. Then install the client and you can create “codes” that you email or cut/paste into emails in the form of a URL. The client just clicks the URL and you are connected. Valuable features of GoToAssist are the ability to run as a service so you can logout the user and logon another user, the reboot and reconnect feature and the ability to have the user enter credentials you don’t know and the ability to apply those credentials at other logons. You can also invite other technical support reps to your sessions so you can work problems together. Of course you can also transfer files and chat as well. So is this a GotoAssist review that is helpful? I hope so, I love the product but you should do a free trial for yourself so you can see for yourself.
