First, on the iPhone go to Settings » Messages » Receive At. This shows the addresses you receive iMessages at on your iPhone. By default this will be your iPhone’s number and your Apple ID. Add the email addresses that you’d like people to use to send you iMessages. The great thing about this is you can have coworkers, friends, and family all send you iMessages at separate email addresses....
There are a lot of rumors about what will exactly be unveiled, but whatever it is should be exciting for Apple fans. Watch the Apple Live Stream The company is going to attempt to stream an event live again – you may recall the last one was riddled with problems (the first 30 minutes or so was painful to watch). But hopefully this goes well and you can watch it live starting at The event starts at 10am PST, 12pm CST, and 1pm EST from the company’s Town Hall Auditorium in Cupertino....
First launch the Mac App Store and find OS X Lion. It will be located on the right hand side under Quick Links. Click the download button. After clicking download, you’ll be taken to Launchpad (if you’re already using Lion). This will take some time, so you might want to do something else and come back to it awhile later. Once it’s done downloading, go to the Finder and look for the Install Mac OS X Lion icon in the Applications folder....

Here on groovyPost, we talk about Dropbox a lot. But about two years ago, we featured one of Dropbox’s most worthy challengers — SugarSync. In our Dropbox vs. SugarSync comparison, we noted that both cloud storage / file sharing apps sported awesome desktop and mobile apps, groovy public file sharing capabilities and attractive pricing and referral bonuses. SugarSync had a leg up on Dropbox for its streaming music player, generous free space (5 GB with a free account) and its simplicity when it comes to sharing any folder on your computer without moving it to a special sync folder....
CloudHQ I’m happy to report that CloudHQ has since addressed both issues. Recently, the makers of CloudHQ shot me an email letting me know that they had vastly improved the sync time for Dropbox files. Now, it only takes a few minutes. They found a nifty solution that involves punching in your Dropbox Events RSS feed into CloudHQ. It’s still not quite instant—in my tests, it still takes about 10 to 15 minutes—but it’s a giant leap in the right direction....

The Windows 7 VM Image has a 90 day evaluation time bomb, but that should be plenty of time to play around and get prepared for your GPOs and other testing with your BUIT apps....
Facebook has provided users with a table in which details exactly what each admin can and can’t do. Each account type rights are pretty straightforward. Instead of each admin being able to do whatever they want on the Facebook page, there are five tiers with different rights. The Manager has the most rights. The admin account with the least amount of rights is the Insights Analyst. Then three other account types with rights in between....

We’ve covered Google Docs in the past when they added Drawing mode and Translation, but this is a whole new ball game. It’s not anything huge like Skydrive, but it’s Google branded and works with anyone who has a GMAIL account (which is most people.) If we’re lucky, this could be the first step towards a “gDrive” or at least Google equivalent to Skydrive. It’s always been frustrating attempting to upload things to Google Docs, only to receive an “incompatible file type” message....

If the place isn’t listed, you can drop a pin on the map by holding your finger in the area you want saved....
