This series of posts will walk you through the process of figuring out whether or not you can cancel your cable or satellite subscription.
As much as cable and satellite providers would like you to think they're the only ones with the good content, you do have other options.
These devices take content from the Internet to display on your TV.
We're not giving up the fight! These links take you to resources supporting the campaign to get Google to bring back Classic Maps.
While none of these alternative sites are perfect replacements for Classic Maps, they're what we've got for now. I haven't checked most of these out personally yet, but I'm linking to them anyway in case you find them helpful for your purposes.
Yeah, I hate 'em too... But if we're going to be stuck with them at least for the foreseeable future, I'll be working on some tutorial posts to try to make them a little less painful.This contest is now over. Congratulations to lucky winner Jim K. from Massachusetts!

In June, I’ll be doing my own personal blogathon where I’ll be trying to publish a new Tech for Luddites post every day of the month. As part of this year’s effort, I’d really like to add a reader tech tip at the end of each post if I can gather enough.
To that end, I’m running a special contest for T4L readers who submit their favorite tip. At the end of the month, I’ll do a random draw of all entries and the winner will receive an Amazon Fire tablet in your choice of color AND an Amazon Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote streaming media player. That’s a $100 value… Can you say “Wowza”?

What kind of tip should you enter?
Anything that has some sort of technical aspect to it that you think other readers would benefit from. While most of my posts are about about computers, mobile devices, streaming players, or social media, please don’t feel limited by those topics. Here’s a good example of an entirely different type of tech tip I wrote a couple of years ago:
Save Your Sanity—And Your Ear Drums!—with a Different Type of Smoke Detector
Note: When I post reader tips, I’ll credit the submitter by first name (because it’s more personal than “some guy/gal”) and I’ll send you an email to let you know it’s live.
Contest Rules
To enter the contest, simply fill out the form below and click the Share Your Tech Tip button. After the contest closes, I’ll randomly select one winner’s name from the list of people who submitted qualified entries. If you’re one of them, I’ll then email you and you’ll have 48 hours to let me know your choice of prize and send me your mailing address. If I don’t hear back from you within 48 hours, I will pick an alternate name from the list.
