The problem that creeps in with the downloaded versions is that they are not always perfect to match the video sequence.

And if only one can sync subtitles with the video easily, life would have been so much more easier....

can’t find your favorite local music files in there. I am a fan of Bollywood music but there are many albums that are not available on Spotify due to same issue. So when it came to listening to songs on Spotify mobile, either I had to stick to what was available or open the stock music player to play the songs that are saved in the internal SD card.

Unfortunately, the fun doesn’t last for long on desktops with low system resources. Scrolling for a while can pose severe browser slowdowns, and certain posts or videos may not load at all. It’s a definite downer, and disabling endless scrolling is the only viable fix. Now, Tumblr does provide the ability to disable the feature on both the dashboard and your own Tumblrs. But for any other blogs with endless scrolling turned on, you need to resort to using an add-on — sadly, that’s possible only on Firefox....

Recently, Facebook announced changes in its algorithm to bring more personal content on our timelines. However, that didn’t change much. To revive its lost glory, Facebook is now trying hard to make people use the platform and share personal content by introducing new features. Just a year back, they added colored backgrounds for creating interesting statuses as opposed to the boring text status. Now they have launched a new list feature....

Readability is a bookmarklet that can be used to transform any webpage from a cluttered design into a much simpler text and image-only barebones display. As a bookmarklet, Readability can be used on any browser that supports them. The features that jump out at me are the ability to tweak margins and font sizes. I don’t particularly enjoy reading size 9 font on websites, with extra-narrow margins. With a 1920×1080 display, it can be quite difficult to fully follow an article formatted this way....

Back in India, as not many homes used wireless routers, there was not not much to do while settings up the wireless network. Just set a network SSID and security paraphrase and it’s good to go.

Part of the same family and yet all the four stories are different in their own ways. However, their basic ephemeral nature remains true for all. Meaning, the stories last for 24 hours only, until they disappear. Interestingly, while most of the users use Instagram stories, very few people use Facebook stories. Is it bad? No. Not at all. Facebook stories has most of the features that you find in Instagram stories....

But Swype is not just great at gesture based input. It’s a solid keyboard replacement on its own merit. The keys are nicely placed, there are multiple themes and not to mention a great prediction engine. After ruling over Android for a while (and later facing tough competition against SwiftKey), Swype did make it over to iOS but in the form of a jailbroken app that was never truly stable....
