| Rdio: One of the Best Music Streaming Apps for iPhone Posted: 18 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST  I’ve been a long-time subscriber to the music streaming site Rdio.com, because it saves me from buying songs and albums I might only listen to a few times, and provides me with a network of contacts who help me discover new music I might enjoy. Rdio provides a free limited music streaming service, but for $5 per month you can stream unlimited music via the Rdio web browser or desktop client. For an extra $5 per month, you can have Rdio streaming to your iPhone, over both a Wi-Fi and cellular connection. If that’s not enough, you can also save songs and albums to...

| Computer Monitors For Gaming: How Do You Choose The Right One? Posted: 18 Nov 2013 01:00 PM PST  A monitor isn't the most exciting piece of equipment you can attach to a computer, and plummeting prices on low-end models have encouraged many buyers to opt for whatever offers a big screen at a budget price. For the average user, that's fine; but for a gamer, that'd be a mistake. Gaming is a primarily visual experience, after all. The display you use to play a game can not only determine its beauty, but can also determine how quickly you're able to react to opponents. Here's what you need to know before pulling the trigger on your next gaming monitor.... Read the full article: Computer Monitors For Gaming: How Do You Choose The Right One? |

| Mr Reader – A Spanking Great iPad App For Keeping On Top Of RSS Feeds Posted: 18 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST  When Google Reader passed away earlier this year, I was really hacked off. I depend on RSS feeds for a living. Only from reading RSS feeds do I find stories to write about which translates to cold hard cash. So when my beloved Google Reader left this earth, I was left looking for a suitable alternative. My criteria was very strict – it had to instantly synchronise with a suitable iPhone app, as well as a suitable web-based RSS reader. The search took quite some time. I must have tried countless apps and sites. I tried ones that appeared in... Read the full article: Mr Reader – A Spanking Great iPad App For Keeping On Top Of RSS Feeds |

| How To Increase Storage Space On Windows 8.1 Devices With SD Cards Posted: 18 Nov 2013 11:00 AM PST  Windows 8.1 devices are all full PCs — yes, even the tablets — and often support SD cards. This allows you to easily expand your PC’s storage. Just insert an SD card and you can treat it as a “permanent” part of your device. The SD card will likely be slower than your device’s built-in storage, but it’s a great way to store music, videos, pictures, and other files. The original release of Windows 8 didn’t have very good support for SD cards. You couldn’t easily access them from Windows 8-style apps without going through some obscure tricks on the...

| The 8 Best Portable Hard Drives You Can Buy Right Now Posted: 18 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST  External hard drives make more sense than internal drives these days. You can connect one to any device, hook it up to your router for access on any gadget, and always carry your data with you without having to lug your whole laptop around. It’s been a while since we told you about some of the best external hard drives to buy and a lot has changed since then. 2.5-inch portable drives have reached the sweet spot between storage and price, and most of them are capacious enough that you won’t have to consider large 3.5-inch external drives. New technologies... Read the full article: The 8 Best Portable Hard Drives You Can Buy Right Now |
| 6 Soft Skills Every Technology Worker Needs For Career Success Posted: 18 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST  Imagine you’ve attended two presentations. In the first, the presenter reads from his Powerpoint slides, barely looks at the audience, and ends the presentation without accepting questions. The second presenter opens with an entertaining story, walks through the presentation with energy and emotion, and closes with a meaningful Q&A session with the audience. Which presentation do you think you’d be more likely to remember? The same thing is true at a job interview. You may have all of the necessary technical skills (hard skills) required for the job, but it’s the person that can look the interviewer in the eyes,...

| The Italian City Of Venice Is Now On Google Street-View Posted: 18 Nov 2013 07:30 AM PST  There’s something unique about Venice – it has a lot of water in and around it, which means that it is impossible for a car to get anywhere near it. So you would think that this would prevent Google Street-View from getting anywhere near it, right? Well wrong. If Venice thought they were safe from Google by virtue of water, they were badly mistaken, because Google found a unique way around the situation – with their Trekker technology. From the looks of things, the Trekker technology consists of a round green camera which is mounted on a person’s back and...

| 5 Ways To Make Sure You Get The Best Deals On Steam Games Posted: 18 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST  Before you open up Steam and drop some cash on some new games, you should know that there are a few tips that you can take advantage of to maximize the value of your dollar. Steam is known for being super convenient for managing one's video game library, and it's also useful in a few other ways, but did you know that with a bit of effort you can obtain new games for huge discounts? Sometimes even for free! Some have eschewed Steam altogether, but I think it's wonderful because the Steam store is pretty much its own marketplace. The...

| What The Windows XPocalypse Means For You Posted: 18 Nov 2013 06:00 AM PST  If there is one thing that Microsoft has an aptitude for, it's pomp. Windows 95 launched to a soundtrack scored by none other than The Rolling Stones and Weezer. For Vista, Redmond made sure that those who turned up to the launch party were given enough worthless tat to fill a landfill. However, nothing quite topped the vainglorious fanfare of the launch of XP, which saw New York turned into a literal, honest-to-god fairground, which was scored with a performance by Geordie crooner, Sting. Few technology products are quite as well loved as Windows XP was. In the first three... Read the full article: What The Windows XPocalypse Means For You |
