This is one of my favorite toys at computer! Just when you thought that the folks at Google™ had exhausted all of their good ideas, here comes another one.
Picasa is a free, downloadable program that’s practically a one-stop shop when it comes to digital photos!
That’s where Picasa comes in. Simply log on to www.picasa.com and download the latest version of this wonderful software. From there, you’re only a few steps away from having your own virtual photo gallery!
- Organize – The first thing Picasa will do is locate every picture you have on your hard drive, even the ones you’ve forgotten about. Picasa’s easy-to-follow format then allows you to rename and organize these shots into appropriate albums. It also enables you to use the same picture in multiple albums, without taking up any more space on your hard drive. If you have a special photo or album that you’d rather not share just yet, a password can be created to keep it “for your eyes only”. read more…

The NAD learned that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not paid Video Relay Service (VRS) providers for certain types of VRS calls since July 2009. As a result, some VRS providers are not connecting or may stop connecting some VRS calls. This is not functionally equivalent to the communication access that hearing telephone users enjoy. We urged the FCC to start a rulemaking process to promote transparency and ensure stakeholder input, before the FCC takes any action which may limit or restrict VRS calls.
