Facebook: Stop Auto-Play Videos While Using Mobile Connection

Previously on Facebook, users had to tab on the play button to run any uploaded videos. A recent change by Facebook, however, now allows videos to play automatically. In order to auto-play videos, the Facebook app downloads the data of that video without your consent, which means it can potentially increase your data usage if you are not using WiFi. This change may be a big problem for users with limited data plans. Luckily, you can turn off the video auto-play feature when you are using a cellular network.

This will work in PowerPoint, Excel, or any other Office application that supports charts.

Disable Plugins Such as Growl from Mac Mail

This problem may make editing the image the way you want nearly impossible. Luckily, PowerPoint offers a feature that allows you to extract original pictures from slides easily.
