A few months ago I blogged about having suffered “Google Death” aka “We Currently Do Not Support The Location.” While I occasionally have blips in life, my Google listing on Maps continues to be a problem. I recently read this article about how business owners fail to control their business identity and it really shocked [...]
Wow. Just Wow. That was my response to this story about a child drugging their parents in order to get her internet privileges back. Restricting and monitoring children’s use of the Internet is a question we often get. Fortunately on a Mac, parental controls are built into OS X and I’m a big fan of [...]
We often do computer repair in Lawrence for businesses running out of a small office or a home office and we often see “mixed use” settings. When a computer is used for personal and business activities that can be a recipe for trouble in some situations. For example, when a work computer is used at [...]
In our line of work we encounter lots of passwords. We always try to turn our heads while doing our computer repairs to allow clients to enter their passwords but sometimes when a computer is left for repair at our office (4105 West Sixth Street, Lawrence, KS) a written password is necessary.

Quickbooks is a program I love to hate. It is slow, unresponsive and unreliable and with absolutely horrible support and a policy that turns your program into a pumpkin every few years.

“You may be paying too much for your internet service” seems like a marketing ploy for the latest offering from Knology, Time-Warner, Cox or AT&T but for many of us it’s really true. Here are the most common problems we see in the field. First, if you are renting your cable modem, it’s time to [...]
While the FBI has issued a warning for Android users regarding their smartphone apps (and didn’t issue one for iPhone and iPad apps) it doesn’t mean that iPhone and iPad app purchases are without risk. Some of the risks are relatively minor like buying a copycat app that pretends to be a popular app when [...]
Last blog post I talked about Google Death–when Google improperly removes your business’s listing. When I contacted Google I got the standard, canned, response (which I Googled to find out it was standard) I made some minor changes to the listing such as deleting an old location, but it had no effect. Eventually I got [...]
No, this isn’t some sales pitch for the latest SEO tool or marketing idea, or maybe it is. I’ve been very successful doing computer repair in Lawrence, KS. Being the top search result can have its price because for others to move up, they gotta knock you out, or at least down in the rankings. [...]
