| Cool Websites & Tools – Make Your Own Flappy, Quick Access To Google Docs, & Transfer Large Files Posted: 19 Feb 2014 08:31 PM PST  Files to Friends – if you want to transfer a large file to someone, you are always restricted by file sizes, and which platform to use. Files to Friends allows you to upload files of up to 5GB (paid account), and 1GB (non-paid account), and then email someone the download link. File links do not expire either. Paste to Grid – is a site where you can make a photo collage. Start by selecting a grid. Once you have selected a grid, you just have to paste a picture to the grid. You can drag and drop the picture to... Read the full article: Cool Websites & Tools – Make Your Own Flappy, Quick Access To Google Docs, & Transfer Large Files |
| OneDrive Launches With More Storage & Automatic Android Photo Backup Posted: 19 Feb 2014 07:30 PM PST  The lick of paint has been applied, the polish has been added to give it a nice sheen, and now finally Skydrive has undergone its name change to OneDrive. And it will stay that way until someone decides that they hold a trademark over the name “One“. To celebrate the launch, Microsoft have decided to give everyone 20GB free storage for a year, if you follow a special link. And those with Android phones can look forward to automatic photo backups. If you switch that on, you get an extra 3GB. Refer a friend? That’s another 500MB per person. Microsoft...

| Flickr Makes Conversations Richer With Photo Inserts In Comments Posted: 19 Feb 2014 04:30 PM PST  Now get more attention for your photos on Flickr. Yahoo’s photo hosting website has introduced a new “improved” commenting feature that allows users to insert photos with comments. The feature is limited to the Web version of the service for now, but with the phenomenon of mobile photo sharing, you can expect the feature to land on Flickr’s mobile app soon. Commenting with photos works similarly to other social networks. You need to simply copy-paste the URL of the photo you wish to share in the comments box. The photo is immediately displayed, and you can add a text comment... Read the full article: Flickr Makes Conversations Richer With Photo Inserts In Comments |
| No Jokes: Anything You Tweet Can And Will Be Used Against You [Opinion] Posted: 19 Feb 2014 01:00 PM PST  Your friends know you, and they know when you’re trying to be funny. Twitter doesn’t, and a bit of misplaced sarcasm can come back to haunt you. The wrong tweet can make you look like a terrible person, and “I only meant it as a joke” sounds like a very lame excuse. What’s Sarcasm, Anyway? Since words like irony and sarcasm tend to be misused (thank you, Alanis), let’s get our terminology straight here. Macmillan dictionary says: sarcasm: (noun) the activity of saying or writing the opposite of what you mean, or of speaking in a way intended to make...

| Banners Begone: How Readers Supported These Three Websites Posted: 19 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST  The traditional print media has seen their influence and readership recede recently. The Guardian, often regarded to be the conscience of Liberal Britain and one of the more quality newspapers in the United Kingdom, has seen its circulation dwindle from 400,000 in 2000 to just over 200,000 in 2012. Things aren't much better at the other end of the political spectrum, with conservative daily The Telegraph having shed half its readership in the same time period. The switch from the expensive printing presses of yesteryear to the Internet hasn't been the saving grace for the traditional news media had hoped...

| 10 Incredibly Simple Ways To Share Stuff On The Web While Saving Time Posted: 19 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST  Sharing should be simple, right? Sharing perhaps comes a close second to searching when it comes to our everyday online wanderings. What could be better than to take our hunt for free seconds to some “time shaving” online services that make sharing a quicker job than it is. After all, when you get rid of the fluff, there is something to be said about simplicity. We don’t notice it till it proves its usefulness. We don’t notice it till it starts making a difference to our everyday tasks. Simplicity is there all around us, and that does not exclude the...

| This Is How Disabled Gamers Can Play Anything! Posted: 19 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST  Okay, let’s get something clear immediately, there is a prevalent train of thought that if you have a physical disability, you are condemned to floundering in the wasteland of computer gaming. Using “specially adapted” switches, being restricted to “custom designed” titles that are so severely “dumbed down” they would hardly challenge a 9 year old. The AAA titles that are all the buzz, stay on the shelf and remain the disabled gamer’s dream. Well, I am happy to inform you that such a notion is rubbish! I am a high-level quadriplegic, and I have been successfully gaming for the last 30 years... Read the full article: This Is How Disabled Gamers Can Play Anything! |
| 11 Instagram Accounts With Priceless, Amazing Videos Posted: 19 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST  Instagram is still known mainly for its photos. However, its 15-second videos definitely leave a mark. While Instagram videos are easy enough to make, they can easily become boring or overdone, and after the initial wave of activity, Instagram videos have become somewhat rare. I bet most of the accounts you follow either don’t post them at all, or if they do, they’re not very interesting. That doesn’t mean Instagram videos are doomed, though. In fact, there are some real gems to be found out there. You only need to follow the right accounts, and wait for the videos. You...

| Posted: 19 Feb 2014 07:59 AM PST  This week: why Facebook is a facade, a hall of mirrors where millions of fake people pretend to like fake companies for fake reasons. Don't expect change, though, because that's apparently profitable. Also, Microsoft is reportedly considering adding support for Android apps on Windows. That ought to simplify the user experience. And we sit down with DJ Cutman a well-known video game music remixer and owner of the Game Chops label. He and his label stand out because they actually license the music they remix. He is also the producer whose music you will hear every week on MakeUseOf's Video... Read the full article: Technophilia Episode 101 Live |

| Forget Candy Crush – Play Chip Chain Instead Posted: 19 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST  Forget Candy Crush. Forget Angry Birds. Forget Clash of Clans. If you want an addicting mobile game, there’s one that blows the others out of the water, and it’s called Chip Chain. It’s available on iOS and Android, so you can play it on your device of choice. Maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t, but if you aren’t playing this game then you’re definitely missing out. Seriously, why aren’t you playing it? Does that sound like high praise?
