So why couldn’t Apple sustain the legacy of Steve Jobs? Was it all about him, his ideas and his stubbornness for innovation that made Apple the most successful tech company in our age? Let’s explore. The End of Simplicity If you still haven’t seen the new MacBook Pro, here’s the lowdown. The Apple logo on the back is not backlit, there are 4 USB-C ports and absolutely no SC card slots or thunderbolt ports....

On PCs, especially on Windows, this is pretty useful. On Android though, it’s a whole different story. I’ve been using Android for years now and for the most part I haven’t used an antivirus app. Why is that? If I don’t use antivirus, how do I protect myself from exploits? And just because I don’t use them, does that mean neither should you? Read on to find out. Antivirus Apps On Android Focus More On Defense Rather Than Offense When you look at the description of an Android antivirus app, you’ll see features listed like total backup to the cloud, remote wipe, kill tasks, monitor battery, etc....

Surprisingly, many people continue to make poor password choices, especially when using 2FA thinking it is foolproof. When you use a 2FA app to scan a barcode, always note down backup codes somewhere safe, preferably offline. Taking a screenshot of the QR code and storing it in an encrypted vault also works, though it is less secure because it is still available online. Now, let’s see how Authy compares with Microsoft Authenticator and which 2FA app should you use....

Now, we’ve already covered how to use Guided Access to hand safely your iPhone to kids, but that is more about limiting some of your iPhone’s features. So, how about if you would like to completely disable some options or block access to some of your iPhone’s apps and unwanted content? Here’s how to use Restrictions on your iPhone and what you can control with that option. Step 1: On your iPhone go to Settings > General and scroll down until you see the Restrictions option....

Another important aspect of any good batch application is the ability to be reused. Because you’re not just going to use the batch tool once, you’ll be using it everyday or even multiple times a day. You need a good way to save your configured image settings so you don’t have to customize them every time you want to resize an image or add a watermark for your site.

As much as we love this public attention, don’t we sometimes wish to limit these posts and stories to only a trusted few in our circle? Just like we do with some Facebook posts and photos? For the uninitiated, Facebook lets you customize friends list for your posts. So, coming back to the main question, does Instagram let you limit the visibility of your posts? Sadly, the answer to this question is a resounding No....

One trick to help you accomplish such a setting is to create hidden profiles and use them secretly. An even better way would be to use private browsing mode. Today we intend to make the process of clearing browsing data simpler. The spin is to clear such data automatically when you close your browser, be it Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. It’s a useful trick because people usually don’t forget quitting the browser when they are using it on some other computer other than their own....

Facebook and Twitter . But what happens when you want to create something more personal and detailed, and share it with someone special? Before, you would have had to create a slideshow or publish your photos to your own blog in order to be able to do this. Now however, with iPhoto and an iPhone or any other iOS device you are able to create Journals, which are like colorful collages of photos, notes and more....

email clients , however, only provide plain text signatures. While this can be useful, it’s just not the same as a full HTML signature. Blank Canvas Signatures for Gmail lets you easily conjure up HTML signatures with a live preview. You may select between different signature labels so you only apply a particular signature to emails you so desire. You can also add an image to a signature to spice it up for the readers....

User Interface I like Spreaker’s interface. The color scheme is not complicated: a black header and footer, with grey, white, and some green accents. There are orange accents that highlight where you need to pay attention to, and my eye naturally gets drawn to this bright and louder color. I approve. It’s pretty easy for a new user to navigate around Spreaker. Spreaker has implemented the profile percentage that I first noticed with LinkedIn, where new users do certain things (i....

Now, Pushbullet has solved another big problem of mine. And it has done it in such a simple way that you just can’t help but go “Wow”. Universal Copy & Paste After the settings are enabled, anything you copy on the Mac/Windows PC (not limited to the browser) will show up in the clipboard on the Android device in a shockingly short time. Just use the normal Paste button and the stuff you copied from the desktop will be pasted on your Android phone....

Consider this: Your desktop is set up for remote connections via the default RDP port. You’re at a friends house and you need access to your desktop. You would connect as usual, implicitly defining the default 3389 port. Your router at home is set up to forward these remote requests to your desktop. All is well until you need access to your laptop. The natural idea would be to define another rule in the router to forward another RDP request to the laptop....

Another good thing about Evernote is that Scannable is just a part of the Evernote empire. It’s not a product in itself. So you won’t be pestered with ads or upgrades. And Evernote is quite good at design. The new Evernote Mac and web apps are a testament to their dedication to design. Right now, one of the other best and most recommended scanning apps is CamScanner. I’ve been using it for years and I love the pro editing features....

FIFA 17 TOTW 30, which features players primarily from English Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga can now be accessed via the web app on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

FUT fans should keep a look out for the 23-player team of the week which features Hazard, Cavani and Morata leading the charge for the playing XI....

Here I’m going to show you how you can easily generate unique images for contacts that don’t have a contact image. And we are going to achieve this by using a tiny app called Micopi Pico. This app automatically generates unique images for each contact. The images have unique backgrounds with a letter on the top. So, let’s see how you can use this app and fill in those empty contact images with some artistic ones....

By default when you apply a picture as a contact photo, it takes up only one-third area of the screen leaving the two-third area or I should say wasting the screen real estate completely. Today, I will show you how you can apply good resolution full screen pics as your call screen images or screen caller IDs, and actually use the full screen image to identify the caller. Ultimate Caller Screen is an amazing application available on Google Play Store for your Android phone, which provides the option to apply good-quality images as caller ID photos....

When I asked some of my friends what’s great about it, most of them mentioned that although the design’s usually the main factor when it comes to choosing a custom ROM, with MIUI it’s just an added advantage. The number of features that come packed with the ROM is what makes the difference. And they were absolutely right. MIUI comes with many handy features you don’t get on stock Android and almost all of them are helpful in everyday use....

Windows, by default, does not provide a thumbnail preview for these video file types but here’s a way you can get it done to make your video and movie collection look cooler when you show it to your friends. Setting Up Media Preview Step 1: Download and install Media Preview on your computer. As both 32 and 64 bit versions are available, make sure you install the correct one. Step 2: Launch the program and open the File Formats tab....

The arbitrary wording makes it seem like Google Bookmarks is the online extension of Chrome Bookmarks. But in reality, that is not the case. Yeah, even I fell for it the first time. Both Google Bookmarks and Chrome Bookmarks can work using a single Google Account, and the differences between them are quite stark. Let’s understand those differences so that you have a clearer idea of what to expect when using both....
