Five Little Tricks

This video shows you five little tricks (for Windows or Macintosh) that can make your computer life easier. They're simple. 

 Click here.

 And, in case you don't have one minute and thirty-six seconds to watch the video, here they are!

 5) Install AdBlock on your browser to get rid of annoying ads!

Links for different browsers are as follows:
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire...
Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/de...
Safari: http://extensions.apple.com/
Internet Explorer: http://download.cnet.com/Adblock-Plus...

4) If you have accidentally closed a tab....
Then use Command+ Shift + T to re-open it!

On PC, use Ctrl + Shift + T

3) Use Ctrl + Shift + N (PC) or Command + Shift +N (Mac) for private browsing on Chrome "Incognito".
Chrome does not keep the history of the websites that you browse incognito (useful for browsing "certain" websites)

Use Ctrl + Shift + P (PC) or Command + Shift +P (Mac) for Firefox and Internet Explorer (IE) [who uses IE these days, anyway?]

Tip: Your company might still store the data :( 

2) Use Space to go down and use Shift+ Space to go up when browsing the web!

1) Most of your computer problems will be resolved by restarting it or turning it off and back on! This will reset your computer's state and restart everything from the beginning.
