USER FRUSTRATION: Gadget survey finds many bugs can’t be repaired. | 3D DOWNLOAD The Paducah Sun | Friday, November 21, 2008 | paducahsun.com Section D Dinner’s just a click away Adam Shull Location is key to fast Internet connection Q: Which is the faster Internet connection for a PC? DSL or a cable modem? I live in Ballard County, which is faster for out here? —Brian Egnar of Ballard County A: So that we’re all on the same page, Brian is asking which way of connecting his computer to the Internet is faster, meaning which method downloads pages, music and other content fastest from the Web. DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. In basic terms, this method uses copper phone lines that run from a phone jack to the computer to fire up the Internet. Phone companies offer this connection. Cable companies, Comcast in the Purchase area, offer cable modems. This method connects through a cable jack in the wall just like with cable TV. Brian recognized a key element to deciding which Internet connection is fastest: Location. Both DSL and cable modems are fast but their speeds and your ability to use one or the other in your home depends on where you live. Basically, Brian, if you live really close to the phone company in your area, DSL could be faster than a cable modem in your home. The farther you live away from the phone company the slower the DSL Internet connection gets. But cable modems are more uniform in speed from home to home. A bigger difference in cable modem speed comes from your neighbors. If you live beside several homes with cable modems and those people download music and movies around-the-clock, 24/7, then your Internet speed will slow down. I Please see CONNECT | 2D Users cite convenience as the main draw of ordering dinner online BY ADAM SHULL ashull@paducahsun.com ome fire up the stove to start dinner while others press the start button on the microwave. Still others turn to clicking the computer mouse. Like Nikki May of Paducah who during the throes of working at home or hanging out with friends prefers to opt for a few clicks, entering a credit card number and having a pizza delivery person at her door in 30 minutes. “I order food online quite a bit,” May said. “Ordering online is cool if you don’t feel like going out or if the weather sucks.” Grace Clemency of Paducah said she likes ordering pizza to be delivered online because it’s just easier for her. “It’s easier than dealing with a person over the phone or when you call a place that doesn’t answer,” she said. For a city like Paducah, with rural areas surrounding it, the online ordering options for local businesses are few and far between. National chains like Pizza Hut, Sears and Lowes offer online ordering with delivery for locals. Get dinner online S National chain pizza restaurants lead the way in online ordering in Paducah. Visit these sights to give it a whirl: ■ Pizza Hut at www.pizzahut.com ■ Papa John’s Pizza at www.papajohns.com (This site also has a text feature to order via cell phone). ■ Domino’s Pizza at www.dominos. com But larger metropolitan areas and college towns tend to rule the roost on options. It was in Atlanta where May got hooked on online ordering. “I moved here (to Paducah) from Atlanta, and there I could order groceries online and a company would deliver them to straight to my kitchen counter,” May said. Larger cities frequently have one or more delivery services in business solely to take online orders for restaurants, grocery stores and food stands and then deliver them to an address for an added fee. May’s former home of Atlanta has Zifty.com which bundled orders into catchy packages like the dinner and movie option. Delivery workers for Zifty would take orders for restaurants and movie rental stores and delivery them together to your door. The company also had a care package for the sick which included orders from magazine and ice cream stands. Not everyone is psyched about more Internet and less personal contact in food ordering, Clemency pointed out. But May countered, “I don’t always buy food to be social. If I’m making food a social event I’m going to go out with friends and eat. ... otherwise, I’d rather work a little more while my food comes to me.” One gaping problem with online services in Paducah exists, which even May can’t get around. “Now if only I could find a way online to take my trash out, then I’d be set.” Adam Shull can be contacted at 575-8653. Technology makes creating holiday cards a snap BY ETAN HOROWITZ McClatchy-Tribune News Service Technology might have killed the art of letter writing, but it has improved another time-honored form of communication: holiday cards. Thanks to digital cameras, computers and online photo-sharing sites, it’s easier than ever to create custom holiday cards with your photos without the need to get out the glue stick or leave the house. The methods described in this column assume that you are able to transfer photos from your digital camera to your computer. If you need help with that, consult your camera’s owner’s manual. If you don’t have a computer or digital camera, you can bring a hard copy of a photo to stores such as Target, Walmart, CVS and Walgreens and use a kiosk to design holiday cards. There are dozens of online photo services such as Snapfish.com, Shutterfly.com, Flickr. com or KodakGallery.com that allow you to upload a photo and use it to design a holiday card. If you already use one of these services to post or share your photos, your best bet may be to use that same service so you don’t have to create a new account or learn a new interface. If you haven’t declared your allegiance to a photo-sharing service yet, here are some tips: ■ Mac users: If you already store photos in iPhoto, you can easily design and purchase holiday cards right inside the iPhoto interface. Although the prices are a little more expensive than other services, you save time by not having to upload photos, and it’s faster than using a Web-based photo site. To use it, simply highlight the photo you want to use and click on “Card.” You can then choose a template, which is super easy because iPhoto automatically shows you how your photo will look in different templates. Once you’ve added your title, greeting and finished designing your card, you can use your one-click Apple ID (the same one you use to buy songs on iTunes), to purchase the cards. All of the cards you design are saved as “Projects” in iPhoto, so you can modify them whenever you want and even save them as PDFs. Apple often runs offers of 20 percent off all iPhoto printing services, so you may want to keep an eye out for that. ■ Pricing and availability: If price is a concern, shop around through the different services to see who is offering the best deals. Please see CARDS | 2D Digital cameras, computers and online photo-sharing sites make it easy to create your own customized holiday greeting cards. DOWNLOAD 2D • Friday, November 21, 2008 • The Paducah Sun CARDS: Retailers allow you to pick up cards at some stores CONNECT: Other Web users can also affect Internet speeds CONTINUED FROM 1D Snapfish cards at Walgreens and Meijer. Another way to save money is to create postcards with your photos, which are generally cheaper and don’t require an envelope. ■ Do it yourself: If you have a photo printer, you could print out cards yourself, although I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you’ve done this before, don’t mind getting frustrated, or know a guy who can get you printer ink cheaply, using an online service or in-store kiosks is generally a better option. CONTINUED FROM 1D For instance, Shutterfly has a deal where you get 25 holiday cards free when you buy 50. At KodakGallery.com, you can save 25 percent on cards when you spend $20 or 35 percent when you spend $60. If you like to procrastinate, you may want to go with a photo service that will let you design your cards online and then pick them up a retail location. You can pick up Shutterfly cards at Target; Kodak Gallery cards at CVS, Ritz Camera and Wolf Camera; paducahsun.com don’t want to overstate this, however. Your neighbors would have to be downloading fiends for you to see a drastic difference. Theoretically, cable modems are considered faster because their bandwidth limits are higher than those of DSL. Bandwidth equals the amount of data that can be downloaded from a Web site But, people using cable modems never reach those maximum bandwidths because all cable modem users share the Internet connection to a degree. Again, it just depends on whether your neighbors are downloading content nonstop and clogging up the line. So, Brian, judge your location and neighbors and make a decision. I’ve tried calling phone and cable companies to get them to tell me the average mb/s (megabytes per second, rate of downloading speed for the Internet) with mixed results. Some employees want to help but don’t know what they’re talking about and others refuse to say a speed on the record to a journalist for fear of saying something wrong. But to a customer they act differently. Also, keep in mind Brian that there are a slew of other issues to consider (installation, monthly fees, security). Cnet.com laid it out all the differences well at this link: http://reviews. cnet.com/4520-6536_7-726601-1.html This review also points out that while cable modems are available to some 55 million cable subscribers in the U.S., DSL access is getting to about 50 million Americans. Instillation problems and horror stories about complications used to plague DSL but now prices and quality are comparable between the two. They are both good options. Good luck and as always call me again if I can help more.

But can anyone fix this stuff when it breaks? That’s a question raised by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, which discovered in a survey released Sunday that 15 percent of people who had some piece of technology break down in the previous year were never able to get it repaired. The figure was even higher for certain products. Almost a quarter of cell phone users said they never managed to get their device fixed. And among those who did resolve an issue, a higher percentage either corrected the problem themselves or sought help from friends or relatives rather than call customer service. “That 15 percent of technology users are sort of throwing up their hands was surprising for us,” said John Horrigan, the author of the study. “You’re talking about close to one in four cell phone users and one in five computer users saying, ‘Hey I can’t cope with this any longer, I’m done.”’ The survey covered com- puters, Internet service, music players, cell phones and their higher-end siblings known as “smart” phones. And while the results are no conclusive verdict on the state of customer care in the digital age, analysts say the figures indicate the growing complexity of technology. Zachary McGeary, an analyst with Jupiter Research, noted that gadgetry now involves an “increasingly integrated ecosystem of devices.” In other words, it isn’t enough anymore for cell phones and computers to simply work on their own. They also have to get along with each other, and swap video and pictures. As providing technical support becomes more complicated, some companies have started tapping online communities to offer help, taking advantage of techsavvy customers who enjoy trading tips online. This method can be best for solving problems that involve multiple devices made by different companies, said Lyle Fong, chief executive of Lithium Technologies Inc., which sets up such customer forums for businesses. However, for all the talk about online communities, the Pew survey showed only about 2 percent of people solved their technology problem online. About 38 percent of respondents called customer service, 28 percent fixed the problem themselves and 15 percent got help from friends or relatives. The rest — about 15 percent — gave up. Horrigan said that reflected a common thread in the survey: that most people still don’t understand the technology they use in their daily lives. For instance, about half of adults who use cell phones or the Internet usually needed someone to show them how to use it or set it up. Once they were up and running, not all was fine: Nearly 40 percent of computer users said their machine stopped working properly at some point in the past year. Almost 30 percent of cell phone users said the same. Horrigan argues these statistics should sway technology providers to focus harder on making their products more user-friendly. 6OJRVF(JGUTGSPN-PDBM"SUJTUT(BMMFSJFT Come Celebrate -PXFS5PXO -*()54 "55)&5&9"$045"5*0/ • Holiday Shopping • Seasonal Music • Refreshments /PWFNCFStUPQN "#%%%"#! $!! %TH3Ts-%42/0/,)3 -AKINGADIFFERENCEONEITEMATATIME TH !NNUAL 0EARL3Ts-%42/0/,)3 )8KJ&8IB<K %NDs"2//+0/24 'ROCERIES 'OOD 3PONSOREDBY4HE0ADUCAH3UN4HE-ETROPOLIS0LANET 3ATURDAY.OVEMBERND 0ARK!VEs"ELTLINE 0LAZAs(ANNAN0LAZA 0!$5#!( 3IMPLYPICKUPABAGATONEOFTHEPARTICIPATINGGROCERSANDlLLWITHNEEDEDITEMS (WYs+ %6), ,ONE/AK2D *ACKSON3Ts0!$5#!( "ENTON2D 2 %)$,!.$ 9ANCY,ANE TELEVISION 4D • Friday, November 21, 2008 • The Paducah Sun paducahsun.com FRIDAY DAYTIME — NOVEMBER 21 WNPT WSIL 6 AM 6:30 P - Place-Own Speaks News 3 C KBSI WGN 8 9 @ WKMU10 V KFVS 12 WQWQ14 ION USA NICK E!

When we won’t buy Chloe inappropriate clothing, Betty encourages her to wear her daughter’s clothes and then change back after school so we don’t find out. It’s hard enough for kids to withstand peer pressure, but when an adult, who should know better, acts this way, it’s infuriating. Betty claims she is just trying to be Chloe’s friend but my child does not need a middle-aged friend who ought to stop acting like an irresponsible teenager. What can we do? — Old Fogy. Dear Old Fogy: Betty is trying desperately to be the coolest mom on the block. You can ask her to please stop undermining your authority as a parent, but we doubt she will have the sense to listen. Instead, have a serious discussion with Chloe. Explain that you have reasons for your rules, and that Betty’s attitude is rude, not ANNIE’S MAILBOX With Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column. only to you, but to Chloe. It assumes that Chloe doesn’t respect her parents or have the integrity to value the way she is being raised. Maturity involves learning to become trustworthy, and you want to be able to count on her to do the right thing, whether she is with you, Betty or anyone else. Meanwhile, we’d limit Chloe’s time with Betty. Offer to have her daughter come to your home instead. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Gloria in the Southeast,” who complained about people with large thighs wearing shorts. I’d like her to know that it is nearly impossible to find shorts with a longer inseam and I shop at plus-size stores.

So don’t take it out on us. — Been There in Illinois. Dear Illinois: We recommend capri pants or Bermuda shorts for women looking to cover more leg. And you can find them in most stores. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Desperate,” whose husband spends four nights a week at a gym and then socializes with his buddies, including a younger woman of whom he is apparently quite enamored. Instead of crying, she should do something. Surprise him. Get a baby-sitter and workout gear and go to the gym with him. His heart has drifted. She needs to believe in her marriage and creatively cultivate their love back into existence. — Fulfilled in Omaha. Dear Omaha: We agree that it might help if she did these activities with him, but surprising him at the gym may have unintended consequences. MARVIN BLONDIE GARFIELD B.C.

Curry stops short of mountain summit NEW YORK — The “Today” show’s Ann Curry didn’t make it to the top of Africa’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Altitude sickness and forbidding weather forced the NBC morning show’s crew to stop about 3,000 feet short of the 19,000foot summit. They were climbing to draw attention to environmental problems.
