On Thursday, Evernote released a much requested Reminders feature for its popular notebook application. In a blog post, the company says that the new feature includes in-app and email alarms, quick notes based on to-do lists, and the ability to pin notes to the top of your note list — all rolled into one. The new update will be available on Evernote’s Web, Mac and iOS versions — for both free and Evernote Business users.

With all the hoopla surrounding Google Drive, and everyone going nuts over Dropbox, I think one other service is being sorely neglected – Evernote.  Our Evernote coverage has been rather sketchy of late, and I think that’s a shame because in my opinion, Evernote is one of the best services out there on the Internet.  It deserves to be appreciated more.

So to get our coverage going again (and as a buildup to an Evernote manual which I am about to begin writing for MakeUseOf Guides), here are some handy tips that I have picked up over the past 6 months or so, as I have become more and more addicted to the service. Especially because of its desktop software and web clipper which allows you to construct your own private scrapbook of links, images and files, all searchable and taggable. I don’t normally pay for premium services but I opened my wallet and upgraded my Evernote account (which is a big deal for a tight Scotsman like me).  The moths hiding inside my wallet were startled to see daylight.

Evernote is one of the ultimate tools in productivity, and with a wide variety of multiplatform apps, there’s no limit to the way that you can use the service. We’re big fans of Evernote here at MakeUseOf, for lots of reasons, so we’ve written a list of 10 unique ways how to use Evernote – with some tips and tricks you might not have thought of.

Whether it’s taking advantage of Evernote’s checklist feature, or the fact that you can save photos in the app on the go, using the mobile app, don’t be afraid to get creative with your Evernote use. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to download our Evernote Manual for free.

Did you know that Evernote is more than a place to simply store your thoughts for later? It is actually a powerful tool filled with options, but when you use them to the fullest, finding what you’ve done can be a challenge.

Fear not, because we’ve compiled a list of the most useful Evernote search tips & tricks to help you make the most of the tools offered by the program. The list below will help your navigate through your notes like a pro.

The so-called “Monsanto Protection Act” finds itself under attack in the United States Senate.

Anonymously slipped into a spending package in March that averted a government shutdown and signed into law by President Obama, the “farmer assurance provision” limits the ability of judges to stop Monsanto or the farmers it sells genetically modified seeds from growing or harvesting those crops even if courts find evidence of potential health risks.

How many times have you been approached by a friend or family member who says that they really have very little use for a big, powerful computer, since all they do with it is check email and maybe read a couple of websites every day? The fact is, there area  whole lot of people that fall into this category. Computers just aren’t a big part of their lives, it’s as simple as that. What they really need is an ultra-simple computer that does absolutely nothing else except provides the user with an instant link to the Internet where they can do what they want to do, without dealing with all of the nuances and problems that a full-fledged computer operating system brings.

This is the niche that devices like the Chromebook attempt to solve, through the use of an operating system building entirely around the Chrome browser, and the concept of an operating system fully integrated with the Internet. Meaning, absolutely everything that’s done – things like checking email, banking, and all apps that are run – is done right through the browser, and that’s it.

For most people, the note-taking application of choice is Evernote. And Evernote users have good reasons for choosing the service for their note-taking needs — it’s very functional, highly accessible, and has add-on features that can take you beyond the default Evernote experience.

If you’re not already convinced, read why you should be using Evernote as your go-to place for remembering everything. In fact, there are a number of apps, plugins, and even pieces of hardware which can take advantage of Evernote, making the service even more beneficial for you.

Here are seven tools that hopefully will make you tap into the potential of this widely popular note-taking application.

The Reminder feature lets you attach a date and time to any note, and in turn, you will receive an in-app alarm, and optionally, an email the day the Reminder is due. Email notifications for Evernote reminders are sent in the morning on days when the notes are due, not at a specified time as with Mac or Google calendar events.

This video provides the facts about psychotropic drugs and the huge profits they create for the pharmaceutical industry. These drugs are not safe and have not been on the market long enough to provide sufficient long term studies regarding their effects. These drugs do cause addiction, however most "doctors" would call this dependence because you do not have to take an increasing dose over time. They are completely fine with you being addicted to the same amount of any given drug on a daily basis. Over half of the people that commit suicide in the United States are prescribed to psychotropic drugs. (Ex: Paxil (Paroxetine), Zoloft (Sertraline), Prozac, Wellbutrin (Bupropion), Effexor, Seroquil, Ultram (Tramadol), etc.)

It's called the Monsanto Protection Act among activists and concerned citizens who have been following the developments on the issue, and it consists of a legislative 'rider' inside (Farmer Assurance Provision, Sec. 735) a majority-wise unrelated Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill. You may already be aware of what this rider consists of, but in case not you will likely be blown away by the tenacity of Monsanto lobbyist goons.
