Anyone have a good way of moving PDFs to Evernote on a PC? Can't seem to "print to" EN.

Got the Samsung Galaxy S3 last week (on Verizon) and am surprised to learn that the phone can only check for new email every 15 minutes. Does anyone have a way to work around this - an app or widget? I asked if the iPhone checks more often and they said no. I have a hard time believing that. There must people others who are compulsive about email as I am (and as Blackberry is set up to serve).

Anyone here ever been plagued by malware called Xtendmedia and gotten rid of it? It's adware - popups. I've does scans (microsoft, McAffee, Spybot, Avast) and even had extra support from McAfee to no avail.

Best practices - this isn't exactly tech support, it's more like social media, but hope it's OK to share. Do you ever follow someone on Twitter, only to get a spam message in response? Well today I had the opposite happen. I got a thank you response where the person thanking me gave me some social media love. Here's what I got after following him/her: Real Estate Web App@RealEstateWebAp Meet @MaryPopeHandy #realestate #realtor in #losgatos for #siliconvalley area. Hey thanks for following us, apprecaited! @RealEstateWebAp I thought it was awesome and wanted to share. What a great practice, worth emulating!

I haven't started using QR codes (yet) so perhaps I don't fully understand them - but isn't the point of them to direct someone to a website? I just got an email from a real estate firm, trying to do a soft sell recruiting, and they put a QR code at the bottom of the letter. My initial reaction was "these guys are morons" since a link would have been more appropriate, but maybe I just don't get some angle on this? (At least with a link you can see where they're trying to send us.)
