If you don’t like the font Word automatically defaults to when you open a new document, there’s an easy way to change it so that every new document you start has the font setting you want. First, create a new document based on the Normal template, which Word automatically defaults to every time you launch the program or create a new document. Then, go to the Home tab. In the Styles section, right-click the Normal box (Control-click on a Mac) and select “Modify.” This will open up the Modify Style dialog box. Once there, choose your preferred font and size. Make sure you select “New documents based on this template” before you hit okay and you’re all set (on a Mac, it’s “Add to template”). Now, when you start a new document or launch Word, the font will be the one you selected.
Facebook has removed its standalone Poke app, an early clone of Snapchat, as well as its Camera app, from Apple’s iTunes app store. A Facebook spokeswoman said Friday that the apps had been removed earlier in the day. Facebook didn’t publicize the move, as many Internet companies don’t when they pull the plug on products. “Neither app has been updated in some time, and we’ve decided to officially end support by removing them from the app store,” a Facebook spokeswoman said. The apps were never released for Android. Poke,

Computing environments such as server rooms often have so many PCs in such close proximity that having a separate display, keyboard, and mouse for each is not only confusing, but a waste of space. You can of course stick with one of each, then attach them as necessary, but that's another time suck. A better solution is a KVM (Keyboard. Video, and Mouse) switch, or if you're cable- and cost-averse, KVM software such as Multiplicity 3. A physical KVM switch has inputs for a keyboard, mouse, and display and sets of outputs for the same to drive multiple PCs. You run cables to said PCs then toggle between them using switches, a rotary dial, etc. With Multiplicity, you can forego the cables, instead utilizing one PC as the KVM switch (the primary PC in Multiplicity-speak) and your local network as the cabling to transmit signals to and from secondary PCs. Basically, it's remote control software done up to emulate a KVM switch.
