Hulu Netflix
If you're still having a hard time deciding which of the online movie streaming services is right for you, one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to making this decision is the selection they offer. Rather than search each service one by one to see if it has the movies or TV shows you like, with the following third party sites, you can search all four (and quite a few more) in one go.

My 4 Favorite Games For The Lost And Forgotten Sega Saturn

Posted: 24 May 2013 06:31 PM PDT

The Saturn was the console that pretty much forced Sega out of the console making business. Sure, it managed to push the Dreamcast to market after, but consumers were so burned by the botched launch of the Saturn, that it was simply a lamb led to slaughter. While that the Dreamcast was a fantastic console, there was nothing Sega could have done with it to bring consumers back to their side again.

muo-android-hdmi-intro

Following some quick checks online via my usual phone, I bought the device – and soon made an interesting discovery: Beside the usual USB port was an HDMI connector. The world of viewing Android through a HDTV was just minutes away – and it can be for you, too (even if your phone has no such connector!).

Flib Is The Most Beautiful Unit Converter You’ve Ever Seen for Android, And It’s Free

Posted: 24 May 2013 04:30 PM PDT

A new application can't do everything right off the bat. The developer must make a hard choice: Should they spend time cramming in as many features as possible so that the app is as useful as can be, or should they go with a lean application that doesn't try to do too much, but is a joy to interact with? In other words, form, or function? Flib is a free unit converter for Android that sits firmly in the "form" camp: With a flat aesthetic, large controls, and (mostly) well-designed interactions, it's one of the prettiest apps I've seen of late.

Best Windows Browser Intro
Using the Windows desktop involves managing windows. Some people may use full-screen windows, but power users know that the key to being productive is having multiple windows visible at a time, whether you're using multiple monitors or the side-by-side Aero Snap feature in Windows.
