3 Awesome Social Networks Just For Gamers Posted: 17 Oct 2013 12:30 PM PDT There's an unfair stereotype that says gamers are asocial – or even antisocial. We've all heard the stories of basement dwellers, people who sit in front of their computers for hours on end, and even kids who have died from video game obsession because they forgot to eat. But those cases are not the norm. Gamers are a sociable bunch and gaming social networks are proof of that. The downside to social networks, of course, is that they require a certain level of activity to be useful. Remember the start of Google Plus and how empty it felt? Nobody wants...

A New Google Glass Concept Design and Nexus TV Posted: 17 Oct 2013 12:15 PM PDT Honestly, I prefer this Google Glass design to the original. But there’s the question: is the original Google Glass so flawed that it needs to be redesigned even before it hits the masses? I’m getting sidetracked here because I don’t really care for the Google Glass, but the Nexus TV (concept by Jonas Daehnert) is definitely something I’d love to have in my living room. Make it happen!

Create Beautiful Collages For Instagram With Photo Grid for Android Posted: 17 Oct 2013 11:30 AM PDT Ah, the coveted Instagram Like. Many of us say we don’t care, but it’s hard to remain truly blasé in the face of 15 (or 150) Likes on that photo you’ve uploaded yesterday. And yet, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get noticed amidst the stream of amazing nature photos, useful life hacks, and pro-quality travel photos flooding your friends’ feeds.

It's more of an incremental update from Raring Ringtail with big changes under the hood, but there are a few improvements in the interface too. The Unity Dash, where you can quickly search for apps or files, now has 'Smart Scopes' to let you search websites as well. So if you are in the Music lens, you can search for a song and look it up on Soundcloud, for example. To make it easier to find the...

10 Unique Flickr Groups You Should Look Into For Creative Inspiration Posted: 17 Oct 2013 11:00 AM PDT The best way to learn photography is to go out there and shoot. The second best way is to look at perfectly composed photos and get inspired. We do that by taking tips from the best photography blogs, and marveling at how the professionals do it on some of the eye-catching photography websites. After a hiatus, Flickr has come back into the frame. Of course, some keen photographers will say that it never went away. But even the most diehard Flickr users will admit that the new Flickr is in better focus than it ever was. Flickr Groups is the...

How To Automate Firefox Or Chrome With Excel VBA And Selenium Posted: 17 Oct 2013 10:00 AM PDT The key to automation is doing things faster and easier than you’ve ever done before. So what takes you a long time to do? What part of your workload would like to automate? When it comes to productivity, Excel is the most common tool used by people for things like organizing finances, managing projects, and prioritizing goals. Last week, I described how to automate IE by setting up groups of URLs in Excel sheets, and then using the IE object in Windows to automate launching groups of URLs straight from inside Excel. Following that article, many readers  asked how to do the... Read the full article: How To Automate Firefox Or Chrome With Excel VBA And Selenium

Make Your Digital Photos Look Like They Were Taken with Kodak’s First Camera Posted: 17 Oct 2013 09:30 AM PDT The National Media Museum recently published a set of photos on Flickr that were taken using Kodak’s first ever consumer camera – the Kodak No. 1. As Gizmodo points out, to print your photos back then, you had to send the camera along with the film back to Kodak. Printing your photos these days is far easier, with apps like PostalPix, which lets you get photo prints delivered to your doorstep using nothing more than your smartphone. If you want your photos to look just like these great examples from the National Media Museum, all it takes is a mobile app...

MagicalPad HD: A Notebook For iPad Power Users Posted: 17 Oct 2013 09:00 AM PDT While notebook apps like Evernote and Springpad are digital file drawers for us paperless converts, we can’t always use these notebooks to showcase our ideas, plans, and agendas in an old style paper format. But a new iPad and iPhone app called MagicalPad may be just the solution for expanding what can be done on iOS devices. MagicalPad isn’t just another notebook app, but a highly useful app for creating outlines, notes, mind maps, drawings and more as you would on sheets of printed paper. MagicalPad provides the tactical feel that allows users to move content around on the canvas,... Read the full article: MagicalPad HD: A Notebook For iPad Power Users

FIFA 14 On iOS: The Most Authentic Portable Football Experience Around Posted: 17 Oct 2013 08:30 AM PDT When it comes to football games – both American and the soccer variety – EA has the market cornered. With that in mind, it would be easy for the company to phone it in and just release a low-quality game with the expectation that fans of the sport will be happy to spend the money just to play as their favorite players. Thankfully, EA did not take this approach with this free-to-play football game. FIFA 14 on iOS brings a slightly simplified version of the sport to the platform with a level of grace and beauty that is perfectly suited to the sport...

Twitter Now Lets Any Follower DM You & Allows Scheduled Tweets For Ads Posted: 17 Oct 2013 08:15 AM PDT Traditionally, to receive a Direct Message on Twitter, you needed to be following that user. But Twitter is quietly experimenting a new feature which lets anyone send you a DM, whether you are following them or not. Until now, to do this you could only use Twitter DM runarounds that still didn't do exactly what you wanted. It's currently an opt-in feature, which you will see in your Settings as "Receive direct messages from any follower". Twitter explains the feature as "Generally, you must follow someone before they have the ability to direct message you. If you check this option,...
