7 Essential Apps for Grade School Students

In grade school, kids might not quite be ready to own a tablet or smartphone, but that doesn’t mean they can’t get something out of using mom’s or dad’s device every once in a while.
Apps can be a fun way to teach your children everything from how to write the alphabet to how to identify stars in the sky all under the guise of him or her having fun playing with a parent’s shiny toy.

Twitter’s iOS Upgrades Are Awkward, Helpful [REVIEW]

When you load up Twitter’s iPad update for the first time, chances are you’re going to think there’s something wrong.

The updated version of the iPad app abandons Twitter’s card-style layout — where tapping on a tweet would make it swipe in from the right side of the screen — for a much more space-filled design. Your navigation is limited to tapping on the four tabs on the side of the screen.

The space on the side of the tweets for your profile is uncomfortable, and the overall impression is that the app isn’t resizing properly to fit your tablet’s screen.

Design quibbles aside, Twitter has packed a number of enhancements into the iPad version of the app that will ultimately make you forgive its less-than-sexy look.
Photos and article summaries linked from tweets appear and disappear with a tap. This is a smooth and fast experience that definitely impresses on either device. 

An extra tap makes photos full-screen — so you can get an up-close-and-personal look at that cheeseburger your friend is having for dinner.

iPhone 5 Review Roundup: Apple’s New Baby Makes a Big First Impression

The iPhone 5 is set to hit store shelves on Sept. 21. A few lucky reviewers, however, have already gotten the chance to spend a few days with the device and craft their reviews of the latest-generation of the iconic smartphone.
So what are they saying?
Overall, reviewers are pretty impressed with the update. The phone’s hardware has earned accolades from every reviewer across the board — they love both how the new phone feels and looks.
Reviewers also laud the iPhone’s new 4-inch screen, although not all are in love with how some current apps — not yet having been adjusted for its new size — look on the latest device’s screen.

The same can be said for Apple’s new Lighting connector, which is able to transfer data faster than Apple’s previous connector. But the headache of not being able to use some accessories – and lack of support for iPod out, a specification used in many cars – was a problem for many.

AT&T’s FaceTime Blocking Leads to FCC Complaint

Three interest groups announced their intent to file a complaint with the FCC against AT&T, after the carrier said it would block Apple’s FaceTime from its cellular data service unless customers signed up for a particular plan.

Free Press, Public Knowledge, and the New America Foundation’s Open Technology notified (PDF) AT&T Tuesday of their intent to file a complaint with the FCC about “AT&T Inc.’s decision to block certain users from accessing the FaceTime application over AT&T’s mobile networks,” which the groups allege is a violation of Net Neutrality laws.

FCC rules require notification of intent 10 days prior to the actual filing of a complaint.
“AT&T’s decision to block FaceTime unless a customer pays for voice and text minutes she doesn’t need is a clear violation of the FCC’s Open Internet rules,” Free Press Policy Director Matt Wood said in a statement.

Select that process and then click the red ?Quit Process? button

Confirm the process is to be killed

Fix for Windows

         Hit Control+Alt+Delete to summon the task manager then choose the ?Service? tab

         Right-click and restart the service, or select it and choose ?End Process?
