| Stop The Spam: You Can Control The Facebook Ads You See [Weekly Facebook Tips] Posted: 17 Sep 2013 02:30 PM PDT  “Why are you getting dating ads from Facebook? Do you visit dating sites?” This is just the sort of questioning you do not want to get from your partner. So, why is Facebook showing you these ads? And how can you make them stop? We all know that Facebook needs to make money somewhere, and therefore advertising will most likely be around for ever. But that doesn’t stop us from wanting to opt-out of adverts or at least make them more useful for us. How Can I Control The Facebook Ads I See? Sadly, there is no one-stop answer to...

| Fargo Makes Outlining On The Web Clean And Easy Posted: 17 Sep 2013 01:45 PM PDT  One of the best ways to get started with any type of project is to either brainstorm and outline ideas, or use some sort of mapping technique. For outlining, a new HTML5 web application written in JavaScript called Fargo, just might be one of the best tools for creating, storing, and collaborating on outline documents. Saikat has shared five outlining tools for writers and artists, and while they are very good, Fargo offers a few unique features that users may find useful. As an online application there’s no need to install the application on your computer. As a user, the... Read the full article: Fargo Makes Outlining On The Web Clean And Easy |
| Facebook Switches Payments From Credits To Real Currency Posted: 17 Sep 2013 01:30 PM PDT  In June 2011, Facebook released Credits, a new payment system that was akin to the former virtual currency found on Xbox 360. However, on Thursday it was announced that the social media platform would be retiring its current system in favor of localized currency. Facebook Credits could be purchased at $0.10 each and then used for on-site games, special offers, and virtual presents. Facebook took 30% of each credit (much like how Apple and Google earn income from iOS and Android apps). The idea was novel since Facebook Credits could be used across platforms for different games. However, due to... Read the full article: Facebook Switches Payments From Credits To Real Currency |

| How To Turn Amateur Photos Into Stunning Wallpapers Posted: 17 Sep 2013 12:00 PM PDT  Don’t you just love to take photos of picturesque scenery when you travel? I do. In the past, I have shared my favorite shots via Flickr and Facebook, used them as screensavers, and turned them into magnets. Although I have been playing around quite a bit with wallpapers, for some reason I have never used my own photos as desktop backgrounds. Not only can it provide immense satisfaction to enjoy your own work, beautiful individual wallpapers also make for a great gift. So let those creative juices flow and craft your first batch of stunning home-made wallpapers. The process I... Read the full article: How To Turn Amateur Photos Into Stunning Wallpapers |

| Box Introduces Notes For Real-Time Collaborative Documents Posted: 17 Sep 2013 11:00 AM PDT  Cloud storage service Box — which some say is great for photo storage — has stepped into the online collaborative note-taking game with the launch of Box Notes, a new free service that lets you create documents, share them with friends and work on them in real time. Box Notes is currently in beta and you can sign up to ask for an invitation. A few users we know have already got access to the service a few hours after registering their email. Essentially, Box Notes is a blank online text field for you to start writing. The rich text... Read the full article: Box Introduces Notes For Real-Time Collaborative Documents |
| Love Indie Music? Check Out MusicFellas Posted: 17 Sep 2013 10:30 AM PDT  Spare a thought if you will for the hipsters amongst us, and the travails they face on a daily basis. It’s hard finding the right Urban Outfitters flannel and skinny-jeans combo to go with your finely-groomed, ironic upper lip hair. It’s hard when you rush to your nearby organic-cooperative craft ale bar only to find that their seemingly endless supply of copies of Vice Magazine have run out. Perhaps most crucially, it’s hard finding bands to talk about that your equally hip friends have never heard of. MusicFellas aims to solve the latter problem. Recently formed in India by four...

| 3 Great Android Tools to Make Memes On The Go Posted: 17 Sep 2013 09:30 AM PDT  Creating memes should be one of the easiest things to do: just slap some basic text over a photo, and you’re done! On the web, there are some great tools for this, but there are so many mobile apps out there that have sprung up around this phenomenon that it can be hard to choose between them. You could use a regular photo editing app, like Aviary, to add text to your photo, but these meme-making apps have lots of preloaded pictures like Philosoraptor, Futurama Fry, and Conspiracy Keanu. While I’ll be testing Android apps here, one of them, Meme... Read the full article: 3 Great Android Tools to Make Memes On The Go |
| Hack Attack: How To Keep Your Webcam Secure From Online Peeping Toms Posted: 17 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT  Someone could be watching you through your webcam right now. Chances are you're safe so don't freak out, but you should be aware that the possibility exists. There was a time when webcam hacking wasn’t a mainstream thing, but times have changed and nowadays it's a real threat that's being put to the microscope thanks to spying programs like PRISM. If you have a webcam, it would behoove you to listen up. What would you do if someone had control of your webcam without your knowledge? It's a maddening thought, really, and one that I don't particularly enjoy dwelling on.... Read the full article: Hack Attack: How To Keep Your Webcam Secure From Online Peeping Toms |
| 5 Great Official Windows 8 & RT Apps You May Not Have Seen Yet Posted: 17 Sep 2013 08:45 AM PDT  Guess what? The Windows 8 App Store actually has some great official apps. It’s just that nobody knows they’re there. Windows 8 and Windows RT have the potential to be groundbreaking operating systems if taken seriously by developers. But that’s a big if. What the Windows App store is seriously lacking at the moment is, well, apps. Now, I don’t mean by numbers. By numbers, the Windows store looks fabulous. But that’s part of the problem, too. All these mediocre apps have flooded the store, so it’s difficult to find the decent apps when they arrive. In the past few...

| How to Blog For Search Engines Without Becoming a Content Mill Posted: 17 Sep 2013 08:00 AM PDT  Being a blogger is not the easiest job in the world. It requires patience, determination, and persistence. You have to be willing to write for nothing, and sometimes less than nothing, when you’re starting your own site. One of my favorite bloggers Darren Rowse – the owner of Problogger and one of the Internet’s more financially successful bloggers – once wrote, “The Internet makes money for you when you build something that is real and when it matters to people.” There are lots of web designers and Internet entrepreneurs that believe they can build a website within some popular niche,...

| Calligra vs. LibreOffice: Which Is The More Productive Linux Office Suite? Posted: 17 Sep 2013 07:30 AM PDT  Is LibreOffice the only worthwhile office suite for Linux users? Possibly not, thanks to KDE’s Calligra. LibreOffice, and its predecessor OpenOffice, have long been known as the leader in free office suites available for all Linux. While it’s certainly the most popular choice among Linux users, it certainly isn’t the only full-fledged office suite available for that operating system. Calligra is another choice for a complete office package. With two very good choices at hand, which one do you go for? I compared these two office suites head-to-head on features, design, and compatibility to see which one is the best....
