Now, this behavior can get really annoying at times. The reason is that you may actually want to perform a search on www.google.com instead of the country domain (as the results could vary). So, is there a way to prevent the redirection and force open www.google.com? Yes, there is. And when you want to do that simply hit the URL http://www.google.com/ncr, where ncr means no country redirection. You need to do this just once....

Unfortunately, the update created even more issues for Apple. Customers have reported a number of issues ranging from poor graphics performance, inconsistent battery life, and general discontent with the lack of ports. With all of these complaints still rolling in every day, let’s sort through the ones that are legitimate and concerning and the ones that are minuscule enough to disregard.

One of the easiest ways to take a screenshot on Windows 10 is by using the Windows key + Print Screen shortcut. However, if you want to annotate the screenshot or perhaps crop a specific part of it, you’ll need to rely on a separate tool.

If you run a custom ROM then you must have tried installing a theme. I’ve tried it countless times in the past 3 years but I just couldn’t stand them. None of them were exquisite, some being downright terrible. A lot of it was due to the tools the designers had. That’s changed now.
