Microsoft’s all new email service, Outlook.com, has been built with at least one thing in mind for certain, which is letting users perform actions with fewer clicks than before or fewer when compared to what other email interfaces are offering. That’s what we feel from the review on Outlook.com Mail that we did. Allowing users [...]
While using social media like Twitter and Facebook, we so often forget that there is a blurry line between privacy and social networking. With the right kind of privacy settings applied, both can be mutually exclusive and still work for you. Your tweets may be limited to 140 characters, but believe me they can reveal [...]
Anything that has to do with passwords and password management requires as many layers of security as you can wrap around it. Especially, if it is a cloud based password manager like LastPass. Yes, we are living in paranoid times and it is always wise to batten down the stable door. LastPass as we have [...]
Previously we have seen how you can use a nifty app called Quick Profile on Android to manage ringer profiles, just like we used to on older Nokia phones. The app solved the purpose but did not provide any advanced controls and automatic profile changes based on events. Today, we’ll see a far more advanced [...]
This morning I uploaded all of my music collection to Google Music (around 28 GBs) so that I could stream my favorite songs to any of my devices right from Google’s servers. When I boasted about it on Facebook, one of my friends from UK posted a comment saying that if only Spotify was available [...]
I would generally advise people not to use the administrator account if they are not clear with their security fundamentals or are not really sure of the level of privilege that comes with it. However, people tend to work as administrators more often than required and this poses the concern of malware threat and unwanted [...]
In the past we have seen how to backup Android SMS using Go SMS and Titanium Backup but both of them made a local backup (on phone’s storage). I personally always prefer to make my backups on the cloud as they are more reliable than local backups. Today I will show you how you can [...]
Svchost.exe is one of those little understood, and more often misunderstood things on our computers. I think we did a fairly good job of explaining what is the Svchost.exe process and why are so many of it running? For those who have come in late, let me again reiterate the simpler explanation of what Svchost.exe [...]
We have talked about many photo editing tools for Windows and Android that you can use to enhance your photos before you upload them to social accounts. But what about videos we shoot on our phones? Most of our videos never make it to social networks because of lack of editing. Software that are free [...]
Notifications on smartphones (messages, mails, etc.) are a necessary evil. One can’t ignore them completely because they can be really important at times but when you pause your work in the middle to find out that it was just a telemarketing message, it can really be annoying. There are some tools one could install on [...]
Every day we are witnessing the growth in digital world with new devices and media formats. This brings about an uncertainty in the minds of consumers when they plan to purchase a new gadget. Does it support all media formats? If not, can other formats be converted to the device’s supported format easily? While some [...]
What do you do when a program does not respond or hangs indefinitely on your machine? Often, user hit the Ctrl + Alt + Del or Ctrl + Shift + Esc combination to launch task manager and put an end to end that process/application. However, I have faced situations when that fails to work too. [...]
While power usage still might be Microsoft Excel’s strongpoint, Google Docs and its spreadsheet offers you an alternative especially when you are on the go. It is good enough for 20K rows, and also helps you with web based dashboards. The real-time collaboration feature with multiple members of your team is definitely its selling point. [...]
Windows 8 comes pre-installed with some basic apps like Mail, Photos, Music etc. to help users get started with this all new interface. I have been thinking of reviewing some of these default apps lately, but most of them were in the preview stage till the Windows 8 Consumer Preview edition. Now with the RTM [...]
