Computer Tips: Connect to Shared Folder in Windows 8 from OS X Mountain Lion
I recently upgraded one of my computers to Windows 8 and setup a shared folder so that I could easily transfer files from my MacBook Pro and Windows 7 machines to Windows 8 over the home network. I did a clean install of
Windows 8, created a shared folder and attempted to connect to my shared folder from OS X Mountain Lion.Unfortunately, I was not able to connect and it took me a little time to figure it out. In this article, I’ll walk you through the steps to connect to a shared folder on Windows 8 from OS X.

Have you ever run into the scenario where you end up with a file that has no extension? How do you go about opening it? One way it so simply guess and try to change the file extension to different file types and try to open the file. That sometimes works if someone says they are emailing you a Word document, but for some reason the file has no extension. Obviously, you could just try a .doc or .docx extension and it’ll probably open.
But if you have no idea what type of file it is, trying a bunch of different extensions is a waste of time. Additionally, you may not have the program installed that the file type is associated with, so even if you changed it to the right one, it still may not open. For example, if the file actually has a PSD file extension and you try to open it without having Photoshop installed, you may incorrectly deduce that it’s not the correct file extension.

I’ve always found it really annoying when watching movies on my PC that some scenes are super loud and some scenes I can barely hear what is going on. I understand they are trying to make it as realistic as possible, but it’s really annoying if you can’t crank up the speakers all the way or if you’re not able to use headphones.
This is especially true at night or in a public place where I’m listening to something on my laptop and suddenly there is really loud dance music or loud action scenes. What do I normally do? Well, I manually turn down the volume until the loud scenes are over and then I turn the volume back up later on................
Previously, I wrote about a service called LockBin that lets you quickly send short encrypted emails to whoever you want. They have a free service plus some additional premium services and overall it works fairly well. The recipient has to know the secret password you create (and tell them via phone or something other than email) and then they type that into the site and can view the message.
This is definitely convenient because you don’t have to install any desktop software or import public keys etc to send a simple encrypted message. However, if you find yourself sending and receiving encrypted messages a lot from a few people, it might be a good idea to try something more robust like BCTextEncoder Utility...............................
If you’re like most people, your home computer probably sits idly most of the day. Maybe you’re at work or watching the kids or grocery shopping or watching TV. Whatever the case, 80% of the time my computer at home is just sitting around doing nothing.
What a waste! I recently decided that I wanted to get more done without having to physically be on my computer. What kind of tasks did I want my computer to do while I was not there? All kinds of stuff! Stuff like....................
Got an old computer sitting around running Windows XP? Don’t use it for anything other than as a dust collector? Well, maybe it’s time to try out the fresh new Windows 8 and give it some life back. Now I’m not super supporter of Windows 8, but I’ve been using it for a few months and something has become clear to me.
I don’t plan on replacing my primary Windows 7 machine with Windows 8 as I just can’t get quite used to the whole mix of Metro and desktop, however, for an entertainment or play-around PC, it’s absolutely perfect. What I really like about Windows 8 are the Metro apps.
Actually, I find ti harder to use the desktop on Windows 8 and actually like doing things through the new Metro UI. Everything just looks better.
