Whether through email, text, of social media posts, we communicate by text more than ever. And one surefire way to make the wrong impression is to send a message full of misspellings and bad grammar. Or maybe more accurate, the way to set yourself apart is to write without any goof-ups.

For newcomers, the world of coding can seem too big to even know where to begin. Even seasoned developers can find their skills slipping from too little use. That’s why both groups can benefit from a comprehensive coding education.

Where would we Mac users be without Search and Spotlight functions? Well sometimes the answer is: right where we started. Unfortunately, Search isn’t always the best way to get at the files and folders we’re really looking for.

So you’ve finally invested in a proper DSLR camera. Now, to figure out what all these buttons do. Even if you’re keen with a camera, you’ll need the software skills for making the most out of digital photos.

Driving comes closest to the feeling of being a pilot that most of us will ever get. Given the way most people handle a car, that’s probably a good thing. But one simple way to safely bring the sense of a cockpit to the driver’s seat is to add a proper head-up display (HUD).

Reading is changing fast, thanks largely to technology, social media, and their effects on our attention spans. That makes the ability to read and comprehend quickly a more valuable skill than ever. Turns out technology might also be able to help.

If you’re reading this, you likely know that Macs are among the most solid and high performing computers out there. However, as with any computer, it is the applications that decide whether it’s useful.

The internet is a goldmine of streaming video . But when we travel, we face the moment when our favorite content is blocked. If you don’t watch from an approved location, no streaming video for you.

We all knew this day would come. Apple will soon release their latest and greatest mobile operating system yet: iOS 11. It’s packed with updated interfaces, expanded 3D Touch and Siri functionality, drag and drop, and lots more. That means developers have a lot of cramming to do before it drops this fall.

When you sit down at the computer, you’re just as likely to get down to work as to get distracted. Having notes and tasks presented the right way can make all the difference. That’s as true on digital desktops as it is on physical ones.

Part of the appeal of having an iPhone is its slender figure. It feels great in hand, can sit in a pocket without looking funny, and fit in any bag. That makes it annoying when you buy a backup battery that’s got the look and feel of a brick.

Learning new skills is the key to getting more rewarding work, however you define that. But learning new skills is one thing — getting certified in them is another.

When it comes to videos, the internet is like Scrooge McDuck’s vault: Full of endless riches to swim through. But with streaming video, no internet connection means being stuck with whatever’s on your hard drive.

Because we live and work on Wi-Fi, we notice right away when the signal goes weak. Even though wireless signals are invisible, it’s amazing how sensitive we can become to where the blind spots are.

More and more people are concerned about their online security and anonymity. That might explain the popularity of Disconnect, a mobile app that’s part VPN, part tracker blocker. Like Signal or Tails, it’s becoming a go-to app for security-minded mobile users. And right now, you can get Disconnect for just $49 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Boomboxes were a big deal when they first came out. Suddenly, anyone could take big sound around wherever they went. Even now in the age of Bluetooth and streaming, it’s hard to go wrong with a solid portable speaker.

It’s a common joke to say that our Mac’s built-in speakers sound better than you’d expect. They actually don’t, but we do consume a lot of music on our Macs, and especially with Macbooks. Listening through built-in speakers or earpods can feel limiting as far as audio quality.

If you work in an office, you probably work with Microsoft Office. Their productivity software suite has become a staple of work environments around the world. Learning Word or PowerPoint is useful for any professional. But few are as useful to master as Excel, which is one of the most widely used professional applications.

Today’s entrepreneurial environment is always changing, and there’s just no way forward without a solid business plan. Whatever your idea, it has to be framed with an eye to what investors really expect.
