Synology DS1515+ NAS: What's a NAS? Do you need one for backups and serving media? How do they protect your data? How fast can they move files? We've got Synology's DS1515+ 5 bay NAS in house. Designed for a small to midsize business, it's got a ton of features... find out what we think of it in the video!

Wireless TV Speakers? Steve writes, "My wife would like to have speakers for the TV, but wants the placement to be over by the head of the bed (the TV is on the opposite wall). Any advice on gear to accomplish this?" Yup! Watch the video to find out, but, hint!

64 Bit Chrome & Firefox? Joe writes, "I would like to know are 64 bit browsers better than 32 bit? Is there a Chrome (here) or Firefox 64 bit (here) browser? I use Firefox, Waterfox, Cyberfox, and the Pale Moon 64 bit browsers, and writes, "The only problem that I have is that Waterfox has a problem with Adobe Flash Player sometimes."
Remove Adobe Flash. Forever. Seriously. Go to OccupyFlash.org. And here's how to turn off the Flash built into Chrome.
Best Portable Charger? Dan needs juice to keep a tablet running for 16-24 hours.... we've had great luck w/ Anker!
Export OS X Keychain? Manny writes, "Just a small question. Is there a short or not too complex way to export the passwords stored in the OS X Keychain to a CSV file or something else?" It's not easy, but you can Convert OSX Keychain to a CSV! (You -don't- need to do that to Copy OSX Keychain from One Mac to Another, btw!)
