Three Great Android Apps To Get Food From Your Fridge To Your Belly Posted: 11 Oct 2013 02:30 PM PDT  It’s funny how sometimes you see an app and realize that it would be the most useful thing you can imagine. Wow, an app to track the contents of my fridge! How on earth did you survive this long without it? Well, actually, that’s precisely what I’m wondering. I found a basic fridge-stocking app (My Fridge) in my wanderings, then realized that I could go one up on that. What use is it to track your fridge contents if you still let it all go to waste?

All you need is the usual Raspberry Pi setup, a webcam and an optional battery pack, along with a nondescript case for concealing the security system.

Compared with the price of off-the-shelf security systems, this is remarkably affordable and portable, and as... Read the full article: Build a Motion Capture Security System Using a Raspberry Pi |
| Everything You Need to Know About Using Snapseed in Google+ Posted: 11 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT  When Google acquired the popular mobile editing app, Snapseed, one of the first things they did was axe the Mac version of the app. They recently re-introduced Snapseed for desktop users, no matter which operating system they happen to be using. The only catch is that Snapseed is now browser-based, as long as you’re using Google’s own browser, Chrome. Not only have Google tied Snapseed to their own operating system, they’ve also tied it to Google+, rolling its features into the social network that has proven popular among some photographers. And it’s no surprise, since Google+ is stacked with awesome features... Read the full article: Everything You Need to Know About Using Snapseed in Google+ |

We are different people, after all. And yet, when you first pull out your brand new Xperia Z or Galaxy S4 Mini out of its box, it looks just like every other Xperia Z or Galaxy S4 Mini out there… And most people never bother customizing it beyond changing a few basic things or perhaps slapping on their own wallpaper.

| Windows Update: Everything You Need To Know Posted: 11 Oct 2013 08:30 AM PDT  Is Windows Update enabled on your PC? If you don’t know the answer to that, you should — Windows Update keeps Windows, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Office up-to-date with the latest security patches and bug fixes, ensuring your computer is as secure as possible.
