With the introduction of iOS 4.3 a new feature was added to the iPhone called Personal Hotspot.  This new feature allows you to bring WiFi with you wherever you go!  The feature is easy to enable and once turned on will display a status bar whenever devices are connected.  Every connection is password protected and when not in use the personal hotspot will turn itself off to preserve battery life.

Here is how to enable the feature:

1) Tap Settings

2) Tap Personal Hotspot

3) Set the slider to ON and type a wi-fi password

Your iPhone Wi-Fi will now be discoverable.  The name of the Wi-Fi network will be the name of your phone.

There are a few caveats with the personal hotspot.  Two of the big ones are:

1)  Depending on your cellular data plan you could end up using all your bandwidth pretty quickly, especially if streaming video.

2)  This feature also drains the battery fairly quickly – with a device connected and actively transferring data you tend to see the battery last about 6-8 hours.

Now quit connecting to that network called linksys or dlink – connect to your own!

Did you know that in Word 2010 you can view and set all sorts of information for a document?

- Under the File menu, click on the Info tab

- In here you can set permissions on the document. For example, you can encrypt the file or lock the whole or just certain parts of the document from being edited.

- You can also prepare the document for sharing and even manage previous versions.

- There are also many informational items listed, such as word count, editing time and author to name just a few.

Have a look the next time you are using Word 2010 – you will be surprised at what you can do!

Whether or not people are actually interested in hijacking your plethora of wall posts that reveal your daily mood, your hobbies and maybe your embarrassing nickname is another topic, but if you want to secure your Facebook from prying eyes (when connected to public WiFi hotspots, for example), just do this:

- After logging into Facebook, go to Account –> Account Settings (top-right of the page)

- Click change to the right of Account Security

- Enable the checkbox Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible

- For uber security, the checkboxes below that section allow you to be notified when anyone, anywhere logs into your account.

So keep that embarrassing nickname where it belongs – in the hands of everyone who’s friend request you’ve ever accepted.
