Nothing fancy – just basic stuff. A shortcut to type in the today’s date or the current time. Things like that. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that text expansion is a must for any Mac user who spends hours at end with their fingers on the keyboard....

RIOT to batch resize and compress my photos and SnagIt for basic annotation needs. However, sometimes when the canvas of the image is white, I had to add borders to them so that they look a bit more presentable. Even being an excellent tool, RIOT lacked the option to add image borders. SnagIt did have the option, but it had to be done manually for each individual photo. Yesterday I had about 16 photos that needed a border and I was just not in the mood to do the manual work....

Buying a new phone is always exciting, but what’s not exciting is getting the new phone loaded with data from the old phone. I have seen folks carrying both – the old and the new phone for a few weeks after the switch because they have messages, notes, images, and a lot of other important files they might need, and they mean to do the transfer ‘soon’. Can’t blame them, such a drudgery that task is....

When I got the first generation iPad mini close to two years ago, I just picked up a third party cover from the local shop. It was red, my iPad was Space Grey. It looked cool.

Also, I dropped the iPad a couple of times and that resulted in two edges being severely dented....

So let’s make life a little simpler today and see how we can ease the task of storing the business cards using Evernote....

How Does It Work?...

Last week, in a bid to win back India, Samsung announced Galaxy M20 powered by what the company calls their India-specific and most advanced mid-range mobile chipset — Exynos 7904. We were left wondering how it will fare against the Snapdragon 600 series, and most importantly, the darling of many mid-rangers out there, Snapdragon 636.
