Lookout Mobile Security: An outstanding free security app for your smartphone or tablet

Posted on October 28, 2020

Hackers have been relentlessly attacking PCs that run Microsoft Windows for years while largely ignoring computers running other operating systems.

Why? Because they enjoy inflicting misery and financial loss on as many people as possible while expending the least effort.

It’s simply the age-old principle known as economy of scale at work. Since there are more Windows PCs out there than anything else, they aim their malicious attacks at them in order to get the most “bang for their buck”.

While PC’s are still huge targets, now that smartphones and tablets are in virtually every pocket in America the hackers have turned their attention to those devices as well.

With that in mind, let me tell you about a free app called Lookout Mobile Security that offers outstanding security protection for iPhones, iPads and all types of Android devices.

How to return Kindle ebooks to Amazon for a refund

Posted on October 27, 2020

Millions of customers purchase ebooks for their Kindle readers from Amazon every year, but according to a recent survey a surprising number of them aren’t aware that Amazon has a 7 day return period for ebooks.

I suppose they assume that since it is a digital product similar to a music track or movie, once they buy it, they’re stuck with it. But that isn’t the case at all.

If you happen to purchase the wrong ebook by mistake, you don’t have to “just live with it” (unless you truly find it interesting and decide you’d like to keep it anyway).

Instead, return it and get your money back so you can buy the ebook you really wanted in the first place! Here’s how: [Read more…]

Q&A: How can I get the photos on my blog to show up in Google image searches?

Posted on October 27, 2020

Question from Ellen:  I enjoy taking pictures and sharing them on Instagram and Facebook, and I’ve been doing that as a hobby for several years now.

Ten months ago I started a photo blog using WordPress to try to make some money from all the photos I’ve taken over the years.

The problem is I’m not getting much traffic from Google at all to my photos.

Is there something I can do to get the photos on my blog to show up in relevant Google image searches?
