Defining “Cloud” Computing

Every tech company has turned its attention to “cloud” computing. This includes cloud computing, cloud services, and cloud applications. And Microsoft is doing a lot with the “cloud” and the new PowerPoint, Excel, Word and OneNote Web Apps and the upcoming Office 365.

Here is one of the best definitions of “Cloud Computing” I have heard:
“Purchasing the amount of bandwidth needed vs. purchasing the full service or application.”

So TLC Creative Services is not looking to purchase servers (to store and access project files) any longer, but looking to use an online accessible server and just pay for the amount of file storage and bandwidth needed. We are also moving to more cloud services and cloud applications for presentation design and presentation.

Use Windows P for Setting Dual Monitors

If you use a laptop for presentation, you are probably hunting for the FN+F8 key combination or other manufacturer shortcut to change the display mode. If you use a desktop for presentations you are most likely delving into the graphics card functions to find the display options.

But if you have Windows 7 (laptop or desktop), skip all the hunting and just click the Windows key + P.

Win+P brings up a dialog that makes it easy to switch to Mirrored or Extended Desktop for presentations.
