Now, for one reason or another, you are being forced to leave your home to face the scary outside world.

Tempo Is Your Personal Assistant Calendar App for the iPhone Posted: 26 Jul 2013 05:30 PM PDT I stopped using the default iOS Calendar app when the popular alternative Fantastical was released last year, but in the world of mobile apps, there’s no end to new approaches for achieving the same results. Recently released “smart calendar” iPhone app Tempo (free) ties your pertinent data from your email, calendar, and contacts accounts, as well as Facebook and LinkedIn connections, into one place – saving you the trouble of opening two or more apps to locate related data for scheduled events and appointments. But is it any good? Let’s find out. Merging Calendar and Contacts What’s most useful about Tempo is that... Read the full article: Tempo Is Your Personal Assistant Calendar App for the iPhone

How to Add USB Storage to the Raspberry Pi Posted: 26 Jul 2013 03:30 PM PDT I’ve recently been looking at options for expanding the storage on my Raspberry Pi. Such choices are limited – the USB ports are often used by a keyboard, mouse or retro game controllers, while the SD card slot is naturally limited to just a single device. In terms of expanding storage via USB devices, there are two options, but how you connect these will affect how successful you are. For instance, you might connect your USB hard disk drive or flash drive to one of the USB ports – but if that port is needed for another device, things can...

Puush: Take Screenshots and Share Them Instantly Posted: 26 Jul 2013 02:30 PM PDT Image hosting and image sharing sites are all the rage these days, especially with the widespread explosion in popularity of Internet image macros and memes. Images are pleasing to the eye and people are more likely to view an image than read a block of text – which is why infographics are great. The problem? Storage limits and inconvenient uploads. Way back at the start of all of this we had sites like Imageshack and Photobucket, which both still exist but have drastically fallen off in terms of popular usage. After that came Flickr, Instagram, and Pinterest – social media... Read the full article: Puush: Take Screenshots and Share Them Instantly

How to Browse the Web Anonymously On Your Android Smartphone Posted: 26 Jul 2013 02:00 PM PDT When you access a website on your smartphone, your cellular carrier, network operator, and government all know you accessed that website. If you’re in a country that blocks websites, like China, you may not even be able to access certain websites. Tor allows you to browse anonymously and bypass web censorship on your desktop. Orbot brings Tor to Android, so you can do the same from your smartphone. Whether you’re connected to a cellular data connection or Wi-Fi, Orbot works the same. Like the Tor browser bundle for PCs, it connects to the Tor network and allows you to browse... Read the full article: How to Browse the Web Anonymously On Your Android Smartphone

Manage Every Single Aspect Of Your Life With A Computer & Smartphone Posted: 26 Jul 2013 01:00 PM PDT Yes, it’s possible to manage every single aspect of your life with a computer and a smartphone. The question, however, is not about if it is possible, but rather why anyone would do this. I have one very good answer to offer: because I need to in order to stay organised. That’s it in a nutshell. I’m going to take you on a strange, supposedly sci-fi, journey into the world of a compulsive organiser who uses technology to manage every little thing they do. You’ll see the systems I use, the apps that I rely on, and find out more... Read the full article: Manage Every Single Aspect Of Your Life With A Computer & Smartphone

Save Space On Your Mac By Storing iPhoto & iTunes Libraries Remotely Posted: 26 Jul 2013 11:00 AM PDT With my head held low with shame, I publicly admitted last week that I’m a digital hoarder. My once blazingly fast Mac is now left with just 100GB of a 1TB drive left. I’ve already shifted all my downloads onto a NAS, but now I’m left with a legacy of nearly 20,000 photos and MP3s, which together add up to at least 200GB of space. I’m hoping to upgrade to an SSD, but at this rate it’s looking quite difficult. Today, I’ll see whether it’s possible to shift these completely off to a network drive – my Synology NAS should...

You’re starting a new pet store, and you’ve devoted an insane amount of resources into developing a website that is just awesome.

Update Windows Drivers For Free With IObit Driver Booster Beta Posted: 26 Jul 2013 07:00 AM PDT Drivers are important for every computer.

Driver Booster, from IObit, promises an easier solution by acting as an all-in-one command center. All of your drivers are listed in the app's interface, making them easy to update; or that's the idea, at least. Let's...
