At Acroment we value our customer above all else.  In addition to providing outstanding IT support we strive to be a valued IT partner.  One of those partners, Aetna Plastics - http://www.aetnaplastics.com/ - is celebrating their 65th anniversary and Acroment would like to offer our sincere congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment.

Have you ever asked yourself what you would do for $5?  In my internet travels I recently stumbled upon Fiverr.com. The premise of the website is rather simple, what would you pay someone $5 to do for you?  Sing you a song?  Share a website link with 100,000 of their Twitter friends?

How about yelling your company name just before running into a wall? (more…)

Lets face it, Google isn't going anywhere. Chances are that even if you aren't using the Google search engine, you are interacting with Google and may not even know it.

But why is a Gmail account a must have? (more…)

My work desktop computer is equipped with two monitors. And when I am away from my office or using my laptop, I frequently need the extra screen real estate that I get when I am at my desktop. But what can laptop users do?

One option, is to purchase a secondary USB monitor.

Acroment recently returned from the COSE sponsored Small Business Conference held at the Cleveland IX Center.  This two day event featured educational workshops, a business-to-business tradeshow floor, tons of networking opportunities and outstanding keynote speakers.

With the recent changes to the Facebook profile, it was a certainty that the way certain programs, websites and apps interacted with the social media giant would change as well.  The online world is moving to a space where people share what they're doing, where they're doing it and who they're with.

There are big changes on the horizon at Facebook.  Recently at f8 (the Facebook developers conference), CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced and showed off some of the big changes that the social networking giant has in store for us. (Watch the keynote address here)

Privacy Settings
Of paramount concern for quite a few Facebook users is privacy.

I heard about Spotify - http://www.spotify.com/ - a few months ago when I watched a video interview with Napster founder Sean Parker.  Parker who's always been into the sharing of music has said that Spotify is, "the answer to piracy."  I'm a big music fan and the problem of music piracy on the Internet is a huge one so I was super interested in this.

You've got password protection on everything from your office computer to your microwave.  Between updating your Facebook status, checking in with your friends, paying bills, texting (hopefully not while driving) and talking, your cell phone has become an extension of your arm.

If you're an iPhone user you're very familiar with the "feature" known as Auto Correct.  Essentially its a feature that tries to determine what you're saying and attempts to replace your words for you as you type.  As an example, if I typed "a-c-r", Auto Correct may assume that I'm typing "Acroment" and it will fill it in for me.
