| AppDialer Pro is a Lightning Fast T9 App Launcher Posted: 19 Nov 2013 04:00 PM PST  On Android, there are generally two ways to launch an app. You look for it on one of your home screens, or browse through your app drawer. There’s one thing that’s sorely missing: a fast way to search through all of the apps on your phone. Yes, you can use the Google app to search your phone (even using voice), but it’s incredibly slow compared to the app search on iOS. It takes a second or two for the app to launch and—if you’re fond of Google Now—to populate your screens with cards. A much faster and more tightly integrated solution...

| Your Most Embarrassing Emails & Texts [We Ask You Results] Posted: 19 Nov 2013 01:30 PM PST  Emails and texts are an insanely popular form of communication, with billions of each sent every day. Most of these emails and texts go the correct recipient, say exactly what the sender intended them to say, and generally help us communicate more efficiently.

| Enjoy Free, Unlimited Streaming Music On The Go With InfiniTracks for Android Posted: 19 Nov 2013 11:00 AM PST  We first told you about wonderful audio streaming service 8Tracks way back in 2008, showing it as a way to create mixes. The service popped up again a few years later, in 2011, as one of 7 online streaming services with no restrictions. Most recently, you may have caught wind of 8Tracks in our roundup of great tools for creating digital mixtapes. So it’s fair to say we’ve been tracking this streaming service closely over the years – and while it remains just as wonderful as ever on the Web, you may want to listen to it when you’re on...

| They’re Not Who You Think: 5 Twitter Users With An Identity Crisis Posted: 19 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST  What happens when a person gets the wrong Twitter name? A handle that could easily be mistaken for celebrities? On Twitter, you are free to sign up with any handle that you please, as long as another user hasn’t already claimed it. So you could generate a cool screenname that others envy, but you can also get in trouble without ever seeing it coming. That’s life of some Twitter users. Their Mentions column goes crazy as random people tweet at them, mistaking them for their more famous counterparts, be it a celebrity, a brand or an entity. But thankfully, most...

| 3 Insanely Rare And Valuable Atari 2600 Games You Wish You Owned Posted: 19 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST  More often than not, when gamers get nostalgic for the games of yesteryear, Nintendo consoles are the ones that come to mind. There are some ridiculously valuable games out there for NES, and on the Sega side, the Genesis/Mega Drive has its fare share of sought after games as well. If you really want to spend some big money (or make some big money if you are lucky enough to own any of them), the Atari 2600 is actually a gold mine. Sure, Stadium Events and the NES World Championships are worth some big money on NES, but Atari has... Read the full article: 3 Insanely Rare And Valuable Atari 2600 Games You Wish You Owned |
| 8 Awesome Couch Co-Op Games To Play When Family Comes To Visit Posted: 19 Nov 2013 08:00 AM PST  “Family friendly” is sometimes a label applied to video games that might otherwise be described in a polite manner as "not very good at all". Most developers see the family market as easy to please – they're only kids and old people after all – so the budget and effort that gets spent on AAA titles like Call of Duty just isn't there. There are however a few absolute gems – which are both family friendly and incredible games to boot. Consider introducing your granny and kids to the console with these great co-op games this holiday season. If the...

| 7 Stellar Visualizations That Help Us Fathom The Mysteries Of Space Posted: 19 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST  “Cool” is a much abused word. Cool sometimes is an understatement. When it comes to appreciating the power of visualizations, the former is true, and the latter is just as apt. Visualizations have one basic purpose – they help us fathom the unfathomable. When it comes to understanding the mysteries of outer space, visualizations help to give its vastness some scale we can understand easily. Data visualization is a well-practiced art (and science) now. Informational visualization is about communication and the newer web technologies are just the right vehicle for it. When we have to talk about space and how... Read the full article: 7 Stellar Visualizations That Help Us Fathom The Mysteries Of Space |
