| How I Self-Published My Magazine Online And In Print Posted: 01 Oct 2013 12:30 PM PDT  In August 2013 I reached the end of a project that had its origins over two and a half years earlier in a pub in Manchester, England. I finally self-published my magazine online, but how did I manage it? What tools did I use, and what did I learn? Why I Launched My Magazine I've been running my website Kasterborous.com since 2005, reporting on the latest news, providing reviews, interviews, and feature articles on the popular British TV show Doctor Who. We've also got a “podKast”, released a book of reviews (Ultimate Regeneration, the basis for my recent MakeUseOf guide... Read the full article: How I Self-Published My Magazine Online And In Print |

Google's 15th anniversary was probably a red-letter day for the company as it invigorates things with a few design and functional changes. Tablet and mobile users will now see a new card-based user interface with their search results.

| AppleCare: What Are Your Options & Is It Really Worth It? Posted: 01 Oct 2013 10:30 AM PDT  High customer satisfaction ratings and a large network of stores capable of performing certain repairs on-site give AppleCare the edge over the average warranty – but are the benefits really worth the price? Anyone who has purchased electronics before has heard a similar pitch, but it feels a bit more convincing inside an Apple store. Buy an Apple product from the company's official retail store and you'll be hit with a familiar value-added pitch with a different name; AppleCare, the company's extended warranty. Be it a MacBook, iPhone or iPad, you'll be asked if you want this extra coverage, and denying... Read the full article: AppleCare: What Are Your Options & Is It Really Worth It? |
| Securing Dropbox: 6 Steps To Take For Safer Cloud Storage Posted: 01 Oct 2013 09:30 AM PDT  If you use Dropbox, you may be in for some startling news. Despite the fact that Dropbox was the first to bring cloud storage to the masses, it's widely accepted that Dropbox is no longer the best of its class. One big drawback is that the vanilla Dropbox isn't very secure, which can be problematic if you're storing private or sensitive data on your account. But don't give up on Dropbox yet! With a bit of effort, you can make it more secure. Keep in mind that this talk of security is in the context of account security so that...

| FileZilla – Why This FTP Client Triumphs Over Its Competitors Posted: 01 Oct 2013 09:00 AM PDT  Portable apps make you independent. Stored on a USB stick or in your Dropbox folder, all of your essential tools will be at your fingertips wherever you go. And you won’t have to install anything on the computer you are using, which is a bonus if the computer is not yours, and you don’t have the administrator rights to install something. Over the past few years, I have built up quite a collection of portable apps, and they sit in a nice well-organized folder in my Dropbox account. This means they are ready and waiting whenever I log on to... Read the full article: FileZilla – Why This FTP Client Triumphs Over Its Competitors |
| 4 Methods For Dota 2 Players To Keep Track Of Stats Posted: 01 Oct 2013 08:30 AM PDT  In the world of Dota 2, stats are incredibly important. Players obsess over numbers, both their own and those of the pros. Valve offers the ability to view your recent games and your wins, losses, and abandons in the client, but for most players, this just is not enough information. Thankfully, plenty of third-parties have stepped up to the plate to provide users with the detailed statistics they crave. Whether you are looking for information about your own games, or you prefer to check out the stats of the professional players in recent tournaments, these websites have you covered. Perhaps...

| Evernote Brings Post-it Notes Into The Online Note-Taking Platform Posted: 01 Oct 2013 08:15 AM PDT  Evernote has just integrated Post-it Notes, the iconic office supplies, into their platform, ensuring an indefinite digital future for them. But the Evernote system actually involves the paper versions as well, so it isn’t totally digital. What happens is that if you have a lot of paper Post-its all over your desk, or if you are in the habit of scribbling notes on paper Post-its, you can now transfer that Post-it to your Evernote account, by using a special camera inside your mobile Evernote app. What is cool is that you can take the picture at an angle, and the camera will instantly straighten the...

| Nitro: A Capable To-Do app for Mac & Linux You’ve Never Heard Of Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:50 AM PDT  There seem to be two types of to-do list apps: the simple and the expensive. Unless, of course, you’re talking about Nitro. If you’ve looked at high-end, GTD-oriented to-do lists like Things ($50) or Omnifocus ($80), you know how costly such apps can be. If you like the idea, but don’t want to fork out the cash, Nitro is a capable alternative. It works for Mac, Linux and in any modern browser; and can easily sync between platforms thanks to Dropbox and Ubuntu One support. I reviewed Nitro when it was a Linux-only to-do app, but Mac and web versions have since... Read the full article: Nitro: A Capable To-Do app for Mac & Linux You’ve Never Heard Of |

| What Is Tumblr? [MakeUseOf Explains] Posted: 01 Oct 2013 07:00 AM PDT  You may have heard of Tumblr before, but it’s difficult to figure out what it really is without first using the service. In the simplest terms, it’s a social network and a microblogging site; kind of like a mixture between Blogger and Twitter. It’s populated by a wide range of content, ranging from Doctor Who and Sherlock fandoms to funny pictures of cats to nature photography. Its simplistic interface makes it appealing to a younger audience, giving them the freedom of a blog along with the content curation of a social network, all in an easy-to-use package.
