How to Set Your Google Data to Self-Destruct - The New York Times

They know everything about you.

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when he heard clapping and cheering outside. Following all the jocularity, our inquisitive kitty found himself at The New York Times site. With no digging at all he found a post about deleting your Google searches.

According to the post by Brian X. Chen, Google has a new feature that allows you to delete your search history. It appears to be a little complicated, so the post includes instructions for how to use the feature. There are screen shots to help explain the instructions. There's also information on deleting your YouTube history and the Google Maps app history.

Panzer says, "There is a lot of information here, but it's worth reading to delete your search history."

Note: This is a h-u-m-o-n-g-o-u-s length post.  Bring a thermos of tea and a dozen muffins and also a glass of milk and three chocolate chip cookies (biscuits) for a snack.

New iPad Pro Inches Toward Replacing PC, but Falls Short - The New York Times

Panzer's trip into the Catosphere today took him to The New York Times site. There our kitty pilot found a post about Apple's new iPad Pro.

The post by Brian X. Chen is a review of Apple's new iPad tablet called the iPad Pro(fessional) which will be for sale next week. There are two versions the iPad Pro. One has a 10.5 inch screen and the other a 12.9 inch screen. In addition to the larger, brighter screens the new iPad Pro will be faster.  However, using the keyboard is uncomfortable and leaves you with a sore wrist. For buyer considerations the review includes more pros and cons of iPad Pro features and uses. Prices for the 10.5 inch Pro range from $649 to $949 and for the 12,9 inch Pro from $799 to $1,099.

I have to clean my claws first.

Panzer says, "With kitty claws for a stylus the keys still would be hard to use."

Note: This is a h-u-g-e post. Bring a thermos of tea and half a dozen muffins for today's reading selection.

What You Get (and What You Don't) From a $50 Amazon Fire - The New York Times

Today's trip into the Catosphere took Panzer to The New York Times site. There our speedy explorer kitty boy found a post about the Amazon Fire tablets.

Looks interesting.

Brian X. Chen's post is about the two Amazon Fire tablets. He reviews the the 7 inch Fire that's available for $50 and the 8 inch Fire available for $80. At those prices both have advertisements; but for an additional $15 the ads are removed. Both can be used as ereaders, can use game apps and can be used to stream movies. Mr. Chen discusses the pros and cons of both. He doesn't recommend either except as useful tools for entertaining children.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This kitty doesn't agree with him. I'd like an Amazon Fire. I don't need it for anything but as an ereader for my ebooks. It doesn't cost much, so Mom will have more money left over for my kitty treats."

Note: This is a long post. Bring half a thermos of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
