Apple recently added an onscreen switch to disable its automatic correction. Download and install version 2.2 of the iPhone system software at www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate. Once it is updated, tap the Settings icon on the Home screen. On the next screen, tap General, scroll down and tap Keyboard. At the top of the Keyboard screen is an On-Off button to tap for the Auto Correction feature. Tap the button to Off. Many other settings for the iPhone’s keyboard can be adjusted. These include a feature that automatically capitalizes the first letter of the next word after a period. ©2009/The New York Times

The News Feed feature on Facebook, which displays recent status updates, comments and posted photos, is a great way to see what your friends have been up to lately. But some friends may be more active, crowding out acquaintances who post less, or who are not as close to you. You can tinker with the mix. On the News Feed page, hover over a friend’s name or update with the cursor until an Options link appears. Click on the link to get the option to see fewer updates from the friend. For more ways to fiddle with the feed, click on the Options for a News Feed link at the bottom of the page.©2009/The New York Times
