Missing Internet Search Feature
Today I’ve landed on a huge feature that seems to be missing from major internet search engines. What if I want to search a keyword and be given results for only the past 5 years… 10 years… 2 days? To Google’s credit, under their Advanced Search options, you can filter by date up to a year. I’m pitching this idea to the interwebs in hopes that the major search engines will add this feature.
What do you think?
Not So Mighty Mouse
Let me start by saying, “Do not take apart your Apple Mighty Mouse! It will break!” Why did I do this? My scroll-ball stopped working properly and I knew all it needed was a good cleaning. I thought I had skills just because I completed a few lessons in one of those RadioShack electronics learning labs. In reality, I was quickly reminded how electronics illiterate I am. Actually, some might remember a time where you could actually remove the scroll-ball in a computer mouse to clean it. You wouldn’t believe all of the little components, chips, and other parts that go into making your web browsing experience possible! Anyway, I hope someone out there can learn from my mistake… or possibly even be inspired by it. Why not?
Update: I bought a new mouse by Targus that incorporates a touch-scroll wheel.
