| The Best Windows 8 Facebook Apps Compared [Weekly Facebook Tips] Posted: 12 Nov 2013 02:30 PM PST  It took Facebook a pretty long time to get around to releasing an official Windows 8 app, so it’s not surprising that most Facebook users already have an app or ten. But which ones are worth keeping? And why? You may have been one of many people waiting for all of the best official Windows 8 apps to arrive on the scene, but it’s worth noting that once these official apps do arrive, they don’t always make the best use of Modern (Metro) UI.

| How To Bypass Internet Censorship Posted: 12 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST  If you live in a free and democratic society, the idea that someone can control your browsing choices probably is quite disturbing. Employers blocking Facebook during working hours may be acceptable. What a free society should completely oppose, however, is censorship based on someone else’s moral code, religious belief or political ideology. Irrespective of who does the censoring, the methods used are more or less the same. This article examines some of the most common methods used to filter content as well as emerging trends. In each case, I have provided a solution or practical workaround. The Current State Of... Read the full article: How To Bypass Internet Censorship |
| Want to Stream Music From Your PC To Wherever You Are? Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST  What’s the easiest way to take your entire music library with you, no matter where you go? Google Play Music, of course. But what if you don’t want to use the cloud? Well, you could also stream directly from your PC to your phone. It’s trickier to set up than Google Play Music and may involve tweaking your router’s settings, but it’s far from rocket science. Music streaming has been around for quite a while. You’ve got Pandora, Songza (our review), and Jango (our review), all of which can stream music for free in an Internet radio format. Or you...

| Apple’s Next Creation: Is This The Upcoming AppleTV? Posted: 12 Nov 2013 11:30 AM PST  There are rumors amongst fans (as well as the industry) that Apple is working on revolutionising the television, and change the way we enjoy movies and TV shows at home. Will it called the iTV? The new AppleTV? Will it be more than just an upgraded AppleTV? Will it also come in gold, like the iPhone 5s? Will it feature a curved screen? Only time will tell. Tired of waiting for Apple, industrial designer Martin Hajek whipped up his version of the allegedly upcoming iTV (or AppleTV, whatever it’ll be called). His design is based on the iMac, only the...

| Follow Rihanna On Twitter “Cause She’s Purty” [We Ask You Results] Posted: 12 Nov 2013 10:30 AM PST  Unlike the terrible trio of preening popstars that is Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga, us normies can never hope to gain millions of followers on Twitter. Famous people can rely solely on their name to get them followers; were they never to tweet they’d still rack up enviable numbers. Thankfully fame isn’t the only reason there is to follow people on Twitter. With Twitter having now become a public company thanks to its impressive IPO, the questions of why we follow who we follow and how to gain followers ourselves, are intriguing and timely ones. Which is why... Read the full article: Follow Rihanna On Twitter “Cause She's Purty” [We Ask You Results] |

These time-savers allow you to perform an action in response to the email without opening the said email. The quick action buttons were introduced in May this year.

| The Art Of The Apology: How To Say Sorry With An Email (And Mean It) Posted: 12 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST  Let's face it; we all screw up from time to time. We're humans. It's part of what we do. Knowing how to display contrition and make amends is a very important skill to have. It allows the wronged party to move past any perceived slight, and more importantly it provides an opportunity for reflection on what caused you to upset another person. Email is a great medium for this. Although being a bit less personal than a face-to-face conversation, it allows you to compose your thoughts in a way which is unambiguous and direct, and reduces the need to be...

| How To Run WhatsApp & Other Mobile Messaging Apps On Your PC Posted: 12 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST  Mobile messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Kik Messenger, Kakao Talk, Line, and BlackBerry Messenger, which recently launched on Android & iOS, are all the rage these days. Which one is popular depends on which country you live in, but most of them have one thing in common: They don’t run on Windows. No web interface, no Windows desktop app, not even a Windows 8 app. But you can use them on your computer anyway. If you’re lucky, your service of choice will offer a Windows solution — like Viber’s desktop app – but most don’t. To get around this, we’ll be using a trick that...
