Akamai CEO thinks playing computer games "in the cloud" is too expensive right now. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says traveler images were taken during a recent cyber attack on its computer systems. A caller who updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10 has problems with his video resolution "out of range," and not causing any picture to be displayed on his monitor. A listener has issues with voice dictation using search in the Google Chrome web browser. A Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail user has problems with missing folders and e-mails. A user who bought her own modem to surf the Internet asks why her own modem has different lights than the cable modem she was renting. Also, she wondered why streaming video worked on her iPad but not on her computer. A caller asks why pictures are not being displayed in Yahoo mail when he attaches them to outgoing mail in a web browser.
