Yesterday, grooveDexter explained how-to watch Internet TV on Windows Media Center. The process is pretty straight forward however… I’ve already received about a dozen emails from groovyReaders with issues. Most were quick fixes however the one issue that was most common was that the Internet TV button simply wasn’t appearing..?? Rather than replying to all [...]

This time we’re going to create a “God Mode” or master-list so-to-speak which includes every possible task that [...]
On Tuesday, Google released an update to their Google Voice Web App which uses HTML5 to fully mimic the same functionality as most AppStore downloaded apps. The web app has many new features and is visually stunning when compared to the previous process we’ve written about on groovyPost. Although it doesn’t yet use my 3G [...]
If holding CTRL or Shift to select multiple files in Windows 7 isn’t your gig, then check boxes make a great alternative.

However when you want to send out a mass (multi-recipient) email with personalized information for each individual… things can start to get a little bit [...]

When we previously talked about your Privacy on Facebook, things didn’t look good. Now Facebook is taking it down another notch. With the current communication system in Facebook you’ll receive app alerts through the red-flag notification button at the bottom-right of your page. With a new update coming from Facebook, they plans to instead force [...]
Out with the old and in with the new I’ve always said! So, now that Microsoft Security Essentials is the dominant (and free) new security suite for Windows, it’s time for OneCare to retire. MrGroove said this was going to happen so hopefully no one is surprised? Anyway, I think this is good news since [...]
Ever wanted to design your dream house, but can’t afford (or understand) expensive architect software? There’s always the option to go play ‘The Sims’… but yeah… Plus, getting all those expansions can really tear a hole in your wallet! The good news is you have another REAL option!

Ever since the introduction of LCD monitors, screen sizes have been getting bigger and bigger. When I’m working on a 26” Monitor in full screen mode, the last thing I want to do while painting something in Photoshop is to have to scroll all the way across it just to select a new color.
