The short answer for a basic screenshot is command-shift-3. Here is a list of other keyboard shortcuts for screenshots if you want to take them like a boss.

What changes will Apple make to the iPhone line with the iPhone 5S?

I have a cracked screen on an iPhone, but it works ok. Could it cause damage to other components if I don’t replace it right away, or is it ok to continue to use it?

I’m not exactly a tin-foil hat wearer, but I would like to reduce the amount of information about me that is easily available to companies, the government, etc. Are there effective ways to increase online privacy that don’t require a lot of effort. Basically, I’m looking for the easy things I can do. Thanks.

Can I use a version of Facetime for Windows, or does it only work with Macs? I like it better than Skype.

It can be either. A cloud based (aka network-based) firewall performs the same tasks as a “traditional” firewall. However, if you prefer you can implement a hybrid system.

I just had a family reunion and ended up leaving with 3 old laptops from an uncle who was getting ready to junk them as he just purchased his lucky children all new Macs. Per his “computer guy” all have bad hard drives.

It makes no difference what OS your phone is using, other than selecting the proper app to install.

It certainly appears that BYOD is here to stay. Has anyone figured out the impact from a financial perspective? Does it actually cost a business money to embrace BYOD, or does it save money?

I've rooted my first Android phone, and the two main things I want to do are (1) flash a new ROM, and (2) overclock it. Obviously, I want to overclock it as much as I can. How do you know how far you can push a CPU? Is there a formula or rule of thumb about how much you can overclock a CPU, or is it just trial and error?

The best cheap earbuds I've found are Panasonic RP-HJE 120. My cat has a taste for earbud wires apparently, and every time that slips my mind and I leave a pair laying around, I get to buy some new ones so I've tried a lot of brands and models. There are really two main things to consider, as you noted - how they fit and how they sound.

I think this could potentially be a serious problem. Most likely it will result in significant backlash against ISPs and MPAA/RIAA, and I would not be surprised if either some FCC rules or federal legislation results.
