Spell Checkers for Facebook Chat, Posts and eMail (with pictures)

| Summary: Here are two Facebook spell check solutions. One lets you use your Foxpro Spell check in Facebook, the other is a program that works in any program and on any Internet web site. |
AsUType adds a spell checker to any Windows program and is similar to the predictive spell checker on your iPhone or iPad.
AsUType allows you to choose an automatic correction mode which automatically fixes misspellings as you type, or an interactive correction mode that underlines misspelled words and beeps, prompting you to select a corrected spelling from a drop down list that appears near the misspelled word. The interactive correction mode is much like the predictive text spell checking that’s available on the iPhone and iPad.

In short: If you can know your usage of electricity, real time, then you can reduce your usage of electricity.
IMPORTANT: You can use the devices described in this article to collect and analyze your electric meter data - without Google Power Meter. Some of the electric usage monitor devices have integrated internet connectivity. Others require connection to another device, such as an Internet bridge that connects the electric usage monitor to your internet router.

Are you a Microsoft Windows user considering buying an Apple iPad?
For more than 25 years, I’ve been using Microsoft Windows. For the past few years, I’ve been using an HP/Compaq Windows “tablet” as my primary computer. I was seduced into pre-ordering an iPad by it’s slim size, light weight, and impressive 10 hour battery life. The moment I heard about the iPad, I knew that it would be an ideal tool for e-mailing, surfing the Internet, and reading. After using the iPad for several days now, I can say that it has exceeded my expectations. I am not an Apple fan boy, but I agree with many other reviewers that the Apple iPad is definitely revolutionary.
If all you do is eMail, correspondence, Internet Browsing, and Twitter or Facebook, then you can probably get by with the iPad as your primary daily computer. You can’t run specialized software on the iPad, so if you have an accounting, custom database, or fancy graphics program, then you may want an iPad just as a “traveling” computer that you use in your bed, easy chair, patio, bus or train ride or to take along as a daily planner.
Keep in mind that you’ll still need a Windows or Mac desktop computer to run the iTunes software needed to initially set up the iPad and transfer your picture and music
