You cannot deny the fact that your internet browser is almost always open when your computer is switched on. Now, consider an example that you need to launch a program quickly, let’s say Calculator, MS Paint or Notepad in the midst of your browsing activity. Ideally, you would navigate the start menu (or search in [...]
In my opinion, Windows 8 was mainly build for tablet users. And, that is why I believe a routine task like shutdown took the backstage. We generally do not shut down our tablets, right? However, if you are using Windows 8 on a desktop or a laptop, you understand the pain of shutting it down [...]
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (yes, that ‘gigantic’ phone!), and been having a good time playing with its features and using its stylus to the fullest. The phone works well except for a nagging error that had started showing up now and then, right from the first day of using the device. [...]
When you maintain an Excel sheet, I am sure you do not feed in data just for the sake of storage. Most of the times you intend to analyze and organize that data, right? Now, MS Excel has got a beautiful feature called Pivot Table that lets you summarize large tables in the form of [...]
If you are a parent, let us begin by mentioning that we’ve already covered the steps to enable parental controls on Windows 7 and Windows 8. It’s easy to set it up, and change the settings whenever you need to. But the latter requires you to do it on the same computer. What if you [...]
Perhaps one of the smartest choices that Apple could have made with the latest version of OS X was to bring the much-lauded Notification Center feature to it from iOS. In OS X Mountain Lion, Notification Center works as a panel on the right side of the screen that displays multiple notifications for different services, [...]
One of the least-known features in the most recent release of OS X, Mountain Lion, is without a doubt the newly-revamped dictation tool. Of course, nowadays there is an abundance of dictation apps for the iPhone and other smartphones, and even for the Mac there have always been a couple of solid third-party applications. Still, [...]
We have already seen how Google integrated Google Drive with Gmail and Microsoft integrated SkyDrive with Outlook Mail to help you send out attachments that have sizes beyond what email services can send by default (usually 25 MB). Yahoo Mail, though continues to be the biggest free email service, has always been somewhat of a [...]
When we introduced you to Windows 8 task manager we showed how it is more than just a task manager and is more powerful than the ones we have used on previous versions of Windows. It was then that we also mentioned you could manage Services using the same. The task manager in Windows 7 [...]
MS Excel isn’t just about maintaining data in an organized row and column fashion. It’s real power lies in data manipulation. Let me share an example. I stay in a rented apartment with 4 other friends. We maintain certain monthly expenses on an Excel sheet so that we can divide an equal share at the [...]
We recently told you about Windows 8 Skype app permissions while detailing out the process to manage them. Well, today it is time to understand and make yourself aware of another layer of settings. We are going to talk about the application’s behavior to automatically receive incoming calls or activate incoming screen and video share. [...]
The Skype app for Windows 8 is pretty neat. It’s got all that is required on a single screen. The best thing about the app, I feel, is the way it allows you to be available and manage your permissions. Meaning you can receive calls even if you haven’t launched the application or even if [...]
Social networking used to be frowned upon when it first started penetrating our lives (it still is). But now people have realized that it isn’t entirely a waste of time and does have considerable value for every party involved, provided it used appropriately. If you are a constant watcher of your social networking profile, you [...]
Windows 8 and the metro UI is without doubt a better fit for touch screen devices. Now, when you are an user of such a device, you would want to do almost all tasks by either a swipe or a tap. Typing and clicking makes things boring, right? In the same context, why not look [...]
