Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Once again I am confused by technology.
I want to download the Kindle app to my Acer Android tablet. Google Play, after I signed in, downloaded it to my Samsung Android phone. That's fine, but that's not what I wanted. Google Play doesn't seem to realize that I own that tablet, and I can't figure out how to tell it.
How do I tell Google Play to download the Kindle app to the tablet, which is mine, on which I am currently accessing Google Play?

I'm trying to get to the happycow.net website. For about a week or so, it hasn't been able to load on my computer. It seems like it's working fine for everyone else. I tried it in both Chrome and Safari, and it won't load in either. It just gets stuck at "Waiting for www.happycow.net..." Any suggestions?
Eventually, it says,
No data received
Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Loads for me in Chrome. Have you tried clearing your cookies?

Just tried that. Still nothing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Zenkitty, I dunno. I have three Android devices and haven't encountered that problem (yet, knock wood). Which isn't really helpful, beyond saying that it can work.
Maybe try signing off your Google account on both devices, then sign back in on the tablet, then try the download again?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I just got an iPad mini. And I haven't even been able to complete the set-up. It won't let me access the local WiFi network. Won't let me access iTunes, which they suggest as an alternative if you can't get on any other WiFi. When I accidentally got onto the wrong network, it wouldn't let me key in a user name (which I started to do, thinking it was on the right network). And it seems to require a LOT of pressure to accept anything - I mean hitting it HARD to get it to accept.
nevermind ... got a co-worker to help me. jeepers ... that was complicated

Ha, having just burnt off a bunch of my spare bandwidth on downloading ALL THE UPDATES for my umpteen billion Adobe products yesterday for the new laptop, this is deeply funny to me.

Can anyone recommend a free OCR tool that can convert a handwritten scanned-to-PDF document into editable text? (Preferably a spreadsheet but just text would be fine.)
The few free online tools I've tried so far have all been total fails.
