What Visitors Are Visually Devouring This Month - Oh, That Tastes Good!
Where are my Skype photos stored?
If you want to know how to connect your laptop or desktop PC to your LCD TV, I’ve got you covered with what you need and how to do it. Let’s get started!
The other day I was considering buying a new LCD monitor to use with my laptop. At the time, I was using an older, clunkier LCD monitor (that I bought only 3 years ago!) and I was tired of it.
The movie 21 introduced many to the concept of variable change. But what is variable change? Stay tuned for a lively discussion!
During the movie 21 (read my 21 movie review here), we are introduced to a seemingly simple example of probability often referred to by three different names: Variable change, the Monty Hall Problem, and/or conditional probability. The scenario is this:
Because I write a lot about Amazon Prime, I have had several comments and emails from people asking me if Amazon Prime is worth it.
In this article, I am going to share with you a question from a reader and explain my thinking about Amazon Prime. Is it worth it or is it not?
A visitor to A Rich Idea recently asked “How Can I Add Text to a Photo?” I do this all the time so I’ll show you how to add text to pictures and images quickly and for FREE!
Here was the email I received: “Richard, my question is about adding text to photos. I have some great pictures and I would like to jazz them up by adding some text to explain the picture and make it look more professional. What is the best way to add text to a photo and is there a way that this can be done for free? Many thanks, Gina from Golden Colorado.
Are you addicted to Facebook?
Ooops, forgive me, what addict knows of their addiction? Well, as expressed in the 12 steps of addiction recovery, the first step is admitting your problem.
Facebook addicts have modified the traditional AA twelve steps recovery program by substituting the word “Alcohol” with “Facebook” as you see in this modified Facebook addiction declaration example below:
If you have ever heard people talking about something called “Molly”, you certainly may wonder “what is Molly?”
I have just returned from the Electric Forest Music Festival where the question was not “what is Molly?” but rather “do you know where I can get some Molly?”
Why would people be asking this at a music festival, you ask. Well, it’s because Molly is a drug and Molly is slang for pure ecstasy, also known as MDMA.
This morning I was investigating whether Sweden is a socialist country. Why? Well, having just seen many accusatory commentators on Fox News claiming that we are “becoming a socialist country like Sweden”, I decided to put on my investigative cap and do some research.
The first question that came to my mind was: Is being like Sweden a bad thing?

Exterior of the Leaning tower of Pisa 1173-1350 Pisa, Italy
Many of you want to know “why does the Leaning Tower of Pisa Lean?”. In this article, we’ll take a look at why you want to know and why the Leaning Tower of Pisa actually leans.
This is a question of great importance as it may someday allow you to answer that final question in Trivial Pursuit and defeat your friend Ernest who has always beaten you. He’s downright annoying, isn’t he?
I was searching for information today and discovered that people prefer useless information to useful information.
Huh?
Yes, that’s right. There are more searches on the Internet everyday for the term “useless information” than for the term “useful information“. Don’t believe me? Check out this chart.
Are you curious as to whether you can get library books on your Kindle? If so, you’ve come to the right place — we are going to show you how to check out library books using your Kindle right now.
I happen to be a big fan of my local library and the Kindle I hold in my hand everyday. Is it possible the two can act in a complimentary role? Do I not need to buy books on Amazon? Can I just rent books for my Kindle from the local library?
It turns out Gina from Montana had a similar question. She emailed me:
Question: Richard, I heard that you can check out Kindle Books from your local library. Is this true? If so, does it work well and how do I do it? Thanks in advance, Gina — Missoula, Mt
Gina, terrific question and we are happy to answer this for you.
There are three things that are legal (well, one is semi-legal) in Uruguay that you may not be able to do at home: Gambling, Prostitution, and Drugs. With such vice-availability, I began to call Uruguay The Amsterdam of South America.
Back in the good ole’ USA, I have been to Las Vegas a time or two, or three, or more, but who’s counting. And so, as I was reading up on Uruguay before I visited, I had read that casinos are legal in Uruguay.
I’ll have to be mindful of this one, I thought. I am going to South America to experience the culture, the people, the history…not another casino. However, like any good investigative journalist, I had to take one for the team just to report back to you, the reader.
When I am using my Amazon Kindle Fire, the keyboard disappears after I type just one key in Google. I then have to go back and type another key to get the keyboard to stay there. Why is this and is there a solution?
Fortunately, you can correct the disappearing keyboard problem on the Kindle Fire fairly easily with the quick workaround below.
Today, we are going to be answering the question: “Are IKEA’s Down Alternate Comforter Allergy Free?”
This is very important because we sleep for 1/3 of our lives and we need to know that our comforter will not cause us discomfort — that would be a somewhat ironic.
So I will put on my investigative hat and determine for you whether the IKEA alternate comforter is allergy free!
I love what I do because it is something new everyday and today I am given the opportunity to visit the IKEA store, which is the ultimate. One time, I furnished my whole apartment with quality IKEA stuff at bargain basement prices. So I look forward to this this assignment. Off we go…
