Question from Vicki: Hi, Rick. I have a question re: Facebook Reporting.
I was wondering if you could clear up a big disagreement between two of my friends?
One of them believes if your account is reported by another user Facebook tell you who reported you. The other one disagrees.
Personally, I don’t believe they will because I’ve reported lots of people and no one has ever complained to me about it.
Can you clear this up once and for all?
Question from Janelle: I know there probably isn’t a way to do what I’m asking, but I thought I’d ask anyway.
I have to keep my phone silenced when I’m at work, but my dad is very seriously ill and I need to be able to get messages from my mom in case something happens with him.
I really need for my phone to ring if she calls so I can leave the room and call her back. Is there any way that I can let my mom call me even when I have my iPhone set to “Do Not Disturb”?
Question from Susan: I hadn’t been on LinkedIn for a while so I logged on yesterday to see what I had missed.
As soon as I logged in a video started playing automatically and the sound was so loud it actually startled me. I encountered several other auto-play videos too, and I absolutely detest them.
Can you tell me how to disable auto-playing videos on my LinkedIn account? [Read more…]

Question from Jarrod: I have a three year old Alienware gaming laptop that I really love, but there’s one problem that I’ve always had with it.
This laptop gets really hot after I’ve been playing a game for about half an hour and I’m afraid it’s gonna end up getting fried.
I think a good laptop cooling pad might help but there are so many to choose from. I don’t know where to start. Can you recommend one that works really well with gaming laptops? [Read more…]
