A tech blog that provides Windows PC help, how-to posts on Android, guides on Mac, iOS, interesting web apps and software.
Back in India, while I was using a postpaid connection, I talked about an amazing Android app using which you can keep track on your postpaid bills which includes your free calls, text messages, and internet bandwidth. But after I moved to UK and took a prepaid connection, monitoring phone balance became a bit more [...]
If you are an iOS device owner, then you will definitely want to sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to your Mac or Windows PC in order to transfer your content from your computer to it. In this tutorial I will show you how to sync your iPhone or other iOS device to your [...]
All text and no images make a PowerPoint presentation look dull and boring. Good presenters know this and hence they don’t shy away from using nice and big images in their slides. Apart from using them the way they are (nice and big), we may also want to edit the images or change the shape [...]
One of my female friends decided against using her personal photo as her Facebook display picture. Instead, she used some abstract images to fill up the space. When I asked her the reason behind it, she told me that whenever she puts up her personal profile pic her Facebook account is flooded with friend requests [...]
The Modern UI and Start Screen in Windows 8 has had both good and bad reactions from the users of the release preview. That means you can easily find people looking for ways to disable these features to get things back as they were in Windows 7. But if you look closely, you can compare [...]
Giving presentations isn’t as easy as it seems to be. You have to be bang on target with the contents and style to ensure that the audience stays focused on you and on the slides when you’re presenting.

So you got a shinny new iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch? Well, you will be glad to know that you can start using it right away without connecting it to a computer and with all major settings tuned to your needs. What is even better, the initial setup of your new iOS device is exactly [...]
Up until now, if you happen to have more than one email account setup on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you were forced to deal with the same notifications for all of them. That meant getting the same banners, the same pop-up alerts and even the same sound whenever an email arrives to any [...]
Whenever I guide you to perform any hardcore changes on your Android, I always ask you to take a Nandroid backup first. It’s always recommended to do that as Nandroid backup is the mother of all backups for Android and it can restore your phone to exactly the same condition even after a system failure. [...]
Recently I moved from India to UK to pursue higher studies and to make the long distance thing work out, I often send some recorded messages on WhatsApp to my girlfriend. While talking on Skype the other day, she told me that the WhatsApp audio files are sweet but they create a problem when she [...]
I love the way Firefox can be customized. I mean there is nothing in the browser that cannot be changed or modified according to a user’s requirement and comfort. While at the functional end about:config preferences can be tweaked to achieve almost anything, on the aesthetic front we have CSS components that can be defined [...]
Windows Movie Maker is a pretty decent choice if you need to work on a video project. It offers a number of visual effects, animations, annotations and audio-video mixing features like cutting a video or rotating a clip. So much that I have sometimes started with just a set of photos and ended up creating [...]
