10 "Must Know" Time Saving and Convenient Techie Short-Cuts and Tips

I love discovering new ideas that help make my life easier, richer and fuller.  Today, a friend shared a Ted Talks video on Facebook that I feel compelled to pass on.  It is entitled "10 top time-saving tech tips" and was given by David Pogue.  I picked up a few good tips, and I think you might learn something new and useful for improving your techno-savvy.  This will help you to become more efficient in your work and leisure, but also to appear more knowledgeable to your friends and business clients.

Some of these tips I already knew and others were brand new to me.  These are my personal favorites that I find most useful: 

1. Use the space bar to scroll down.  Hold the Shift key with the space bar to scroll up.

2. Hold the Control key and tap the + sign to make the text and images on your screen appear larger; and hold Control with the - sign to make text smaller.

3. Bypass the instructions for leaving a voice-mail when calling someone's cell phone by using the following shortcuts:

 - Verizon: *

 - AT&T / T-Mobile: #

 - Sprint: 1

4. Use the Google search box as a dictionary, for airline flight tracking information and for unit and currency conversion;

 - Type "define" and the word for which you would like to know the definition (i.e. "define philanthropy");

 - Type the airline and flight number (i.e. "Delta 31");

 - Type "inches in 32cm" (to determine how many inches are in 32 cms) 

Which is your personal favorite?  And what would you add to this list?
