Apple's iPhone recycling robot can recover 1.2 million iPhones a year. A caller looks for a way to connect wireless speakers to older stereo technology, and asks if most wireless speakers use Bluetooth technology. Facebook admits to harvesting 1.5 million e-mail contacts without permission. A caller seeks a way to set up an administrative user locally without having to set up a Microsoft account. We give advice on using a Virtual Private Network to a listener wanting to know if there is a way to surf the Internet safely from public places such as hotel rooms. A laptop user sees unwanted notification popups in Chrome, plus he gets information on how to remove browser "hijacks" using the OpenDNS service and a Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, a malware removal tool. Plus, using a VPN to surf more privately and securely. A user with a 9-year old laptop computer gets advice on setting up OpenDNS to surf the web safely to avoid getting a virus. A user with an older computer has license activation issues with an older version of Microsoft Office. A listener has problems with Microsoft Access database files that have disappeared.
