IPadis asuvast nõuanded: iPadi koomiks, Androidi toiteadapter ja iPadis piiratud tähelepanulugude otsing

I find myself using my iPad largely for recreation, reading the news, and other lounging around activities. Since I no longer have a newspaper subscription I don’t get the daily or Sunday comics. Rather than give up on them altogether, I found a great iPad app, Comimix, which specializes in daily strips. It’s great! It pulls in strips from like a hundred different artists. The selection is way better than anything I could have expected from my local paper.

So… I feel pretty silly about this but I’m going to suffer through sharing my blunder so other people don’t have to feel silly too. When I got my Android phone I spent way too much time trying to find widgets to access system functions (turning the Wi-Fi on and off, toggling the Bluetooth, etc.) I was unhappy with a lot of them because they seemed too complicated and/or too memory hogging for such a simple function. Then my friend pointed out the built-in Android Power Bar widget that does everything I wanted in some simple widget. Just thought I’d pass that along on the probable chance that there are other new Android users out there that are totally oblivious to this great multi-tool widget. The moral of the story is: check the widget menu before you go searching for new widgets!

I have a ton of apps on my iPad and frequently use Spotlight search to find them. It might be irrational but the scope of the Spotlight search irritates me! I don’t like it searching through all my emails and other iPad content. I discovered you can limit the search to select categories by going to Settings, General, Spotlight Search. There you can uncheck all sorts of things (like contacts, applications, podcasts, mail, etc.). If you only want it to search applications, like me, you can uncheck everything but Apps and be happy!
