Bob 56, plans to purchase an iPad for his son and his sister  who lives in  Washington. His parents live in Florida. So he’s excited to be able to video chat with his parents – them on the new iPad, him on his iPhone.

Tablets were on many peoples wish lists last year, but they were too pricey and they technology was still new so was still getting adapted too, now with smartphones  everybody is getting more exposed to the new touchscreen technology.

Some price released recently for the

  1. iPad’s $499 base price
  2.  Amazon’s Kindle Fire, which costs $199
  3. Barnes & Noble’s Nook Tablet, which costs $249.

Tablets are popping up in unexpected places, too. with  the ipad being used to control customised helicopters that can fly indoors , buggys made to be controlled by the iphone and ipad and many more gizmos.For some people, the device has become indispensable for playing and working.

But while many think of the iPad as synonymous with the word “tablet,” plenty of shoppers will be looking for a more affordable tablet to give this year with heaps of new customised software versions coming out with new android software.

“When tablets start to get  below $200, sales go up dramatically,” says technology analyst Rob Enderle and is going to be evident in the good cheaper prices for these gadgets these years. Check out some reviews and pics on the latest tablets here. “PC TABLETS REVIEWS”

Turn off proof reading in wordpress ( How to )

This new nifty feature  is a good addition  to  wordpress if you suffer from the TYPO disease or then simply type too fast for your own good . Word press will now proof read all those typos and spelling mistakes  and grammar as well.

wordpress proof reading feature

And surely proof reading  will make your blog more professional. But bloody bloody Damn, i turned it on on my recipe blog  and BOOM i saw a lott of red  and so  did my wordpress proof reading app with lot of the unknown recipe ingredients immediately underline with red.

Solution turn off wordpress proof reading

But not so easy , as this was the first time i activated it it was hard to find to tun off , with my bad memory. I forgot – Here is here you go to de-activate it – > USERS  –> YOur profile ADMIN  –> Untick Proof reading

IN SHORT

Q:When I press Update – I always get a message that the “Proofreader” has suggestions for my post. The spell check is OK, but I do not like the proofreader’s attempts to change what I have written. How can I disable this ?

ANS:

Users > Personal Settings > Proofreading.

Obiviously you can see this post is the proof of my typos and this feature not being turned on ..but soon it will be ADIOS..good luck
