Save Money Without Even Trying

Posted on by


A new browser extension makes it easier than ever to save money while you shop online. InvisibleHand works in the background while you’re shopping travel sites and online retailers. While you’re browsing, InvisibleHand compares prices of the products you’re searching for. A small notification bar appears and lets you know if the product or flight you’re looking for is available from another site at a better price.

InvisibleHand works with Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. The developers have established relationships with over 600 online retailers, including Sears, Amazon, Target, and Wal Mart. They’re also working with over 500 airlines, such as American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines. InvisibleHand currently operates in three countries: the United Staes, Great Brittain, and Germany, and it is completely free.

If you’d like more information about InvisibleHand, send us your questions to sweettips@friendlycomputers.com. Be sure to ask about our computer repair and mobile technology services in your area.

Get Skype And Get Connected

Posted on by

Skype let’s you make calls to anyone in the world. Using their free app, you can call your long-lost aunt in Australia or your brother in Borneo. It’s a full-featured service that enables voice and video calls through the internet. Best of all, it’s free.

Skype can be used on your computer, your mobile device, and is now available on many televisions, Blu-Ray players, and gaming consoles. The app is free for download to almost all mobile devices, and for just a few dollars a month, you can upgrade your account to access many convenient features. For example, with a paid subscription, you get unlimited calls to the country of your choice, group video calling, conference calling, and more.

Skype is compatible with all mobile devices and is a great solution for budget minded small businesses. Calling land lines or mobile devices that don’t have Skype can cost as little as 1.9 cents per minute. Other features, like call forwarding and SMS messaging, are also available.

If you have questions about Skype, or would like more information about getting a Skype account set up, email us at sweettips@friendlycomputers.com. Don’t forget to ask about the computer repair services available and weekly specials available in your area.
