Sony Shutting Down PlayStation Vue However, even after price hikes across the board for all subscribers, Sony couldn’t make the service cost-effective. It continued to lose subscribers and had difficulty competing with similar services such as Sling TV and others. And by putting “PlayStation” in the name, most people (and potential new customers) thought it was limited to the PlayStation console only. But you didn’t need to own a PlayStation at all....

The trick is knowing the best ways to invest your spare time to save time in the future. Here are my top tips for staying productive. Keep Lecture Slides, Notes, and Memos in One Place What I noticed in one of my first weeks of tuition was how scattered everything was.

Disable Processes Causing CPU Fan to Remain Constant First, launch Task Manager, press Windows key + X > Task Manager, then click the Processes tab. Click the CPU column to sort applications and processes by CPU cycles. Below, I noticed the System Host Process regularly accessed CPU cycles at 30%, sometimes going as high as 36%.

Google Now Launcher You can easily install the Google Now Launcher from the Google Play Store.

This is a product that’s aimed at military and industrial use, considering its other specs. There’s actually a whole range of models, and the sturdiest one of them can work at temperatures between –45 and 95 degrees centigrade (between –49 and 203 Fahrenheit). Maximum transfer speeds are also pretty good – 240 MB/S – reading and 140 MB/S – writing. This all sounds good, but that’s not the most interesting thing about the RunCore InVincible SSDs – neither is the fact that the company seems to have a thing for using two capitals in the same word....

In addition TWC had to pay out over $15 million to customers who were subscribed to CBS-owned programming but were unable to access it. Would you accept just a refund for losing a month of Showtime? Apparently for some, a refund wasn’t enough to keep them connected. Was all of this just a result of the CBS blackout though? Well, the record numbers are because of the blackout. But, CNNMoney reported that only around 125,000 of the lost subscriptions were because of the blackout, and doesn’t take a genius to see that....

Simply paste your UPS or FedEX Tracking Number into Google to get the link to the Shipment Tracking Page. Now granted, although I’m mentioning Google specifically, the same process can also be used using all the major search engines – Live.com, Yahoo.com, etc. For a twist, you can also get a graphical display of the package tracking information info over at http://boxoh.com/. Some groovy code using maps.google.com. It’s fun but for me, a little too flashy....

What is M1 Finance? At the heart of M1 Finance is the use of portfolio templates called pies. These pies are based on the Modern Portfolio Theory or MPT. Introduced in 1952 by economist Harry Markowitz, MPT is sometimes referred to as mean-variance analysis. It’s a mathematical framework for assembling a portfolio of assets where an expected return is maximized for a given level of risk. Further, it says an asset’s risk and return should never be assessed itself, but rather by how it contributes to a portfolio’s overall risk and return....
