Google Drive (March 2015 version)
Domain: drive.google.com.
Upload files and folders
Open the folder where you are uploading files to. If you try to drag and drop to a folder you see inside a folder, the files will not get uploaded where you intended them.
Drag and drop folders that are closed i.e. you can't see the files inside a folder. If the folder is opened, the files inside it will go to the wrong place.
If you try to drag and drop a folder that only has folders in the "root", Google Drive thinks that folder is empty and will not upload the folder and its contents.
Google Maps (2012)
Domain: maps.google.com.
Printing: use a screenshot and the highest resolution setting in your printer, because printing from a web browser sucks (Windows, OS X).
Google Play Music All Access (4/2015)
Domain: play.google.com.
Play the "I'm Feeling Lucky" channel: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/now or play.google.com/music/listen (4/2015).
It can be difficult to find the "I'm Feeling Lucky" channel from the Google Play Music All Access main page if Google is advertising a free month period: https://play.google.com/about/music/allaccess/#/ (4/2015).
Click the "Refresh station" if you don't like the genre of the music.
Google Plus (Google+) (2012)
Domain: plus.google.com.
Note: if you copy photos from your Android phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini in 8/2012), sending the files with your phone to "Picasa" removes the date, so try relocating the MicroSD card to your PC instead.

Kanavat
Kommentti: ideana on laittaa tiiviissä muodossa yhdelle sivulle mahdollisimman paljon kanavia, joita telkkarista näkyy, jolloin on vähemmän sivuja selattavana.
Kommentti: kun kanavat ovat samassa järjestyksessä kuin digiboksilla, on helppo vertailla mitä kanavia lisätä/poistaa.
Kommentti: MTV3, Nelonen, Sub ja JIM ovat aika peruskanavia ohjelmatarjonnaltaan.
Kommentti: Ylen kanavilta (myöskin Yle Fem) tulee mm. urheilua. Lisäksi Yle Teemalta tulee tiededokumentteja.

YouTube (2012)
Domain: youtube.com.
Problem: videos break up: solutions
(1) Update Adobe Flash, check Adobe Flash settings (local and global).
(2) Remove cookies, cache and all other web browser history in all web browsers and Adobe Flash.
(3) In your browser and in your possible toolbars, popup blockers and adblockers allow cookies, popups and advertisements for youtube.com and ytimg.com.
(4) Modem settings: MTU 1472
Problem: videos break up: causes
(1) Try pinging your name server and YouTube, if you lose data packets (a few percent) after pinging at least 100 packets, packet loss can be caused by congestion at some point between you and the server.
(2) In modem settings, the MTU size maybe too big (1500), try for example 1472.
Upload video
QuickTime screen recording (OS X): Use the original video (not any export function) for best quality.
