Use Your iMac As A Monitor With Target Display Mode Posted: 24 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT More is not always better, but it’s probably true in terms of screen real estate. The iMac scores a lot of points in that area; one of its biggest strengths being the big, vibrant screen it sports.

Target Display Mode Realising its potential, Apple first introduced Target Display Mode for the 27″ 2009 iMacs running Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later.

How To Create An Instagram Account & Upload Photos Without A Mobile Device Posted: 24 Mar 2014 12:00 PM PDT Not everyone owns a smartphone. As popular as these phones have become, they’re not very affordable, and they’re definitely no everyone’s cup of tea. But just because you don’t own the right smartphone doesn’t mean you have to give up on apps like Instagram. It’s not ideal, but you can get an Instagram account and upload photos to it without owning a mobile device. Curious? Let’s see how it’s done. Important note: Instagram does not support these solutions in any official way. The company wants you to use mobile only to register and upload, and therefore, you may be facing random...

6 Best Point-and-Shoot Cameras: Style, Features or Optics Posted: 24 Mar 2014 11:00 AM PDT Smartphone cameras are getting better every day, but they’re still not good enough to replace most mid-range point-and-shoot cameras.

Some people may want the most stylish camera, others may want superior zoom, and some may be on a strict budget. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Budget Buy: Canon Powershot SX280 ($188) It’s hard... Read the full article: 6 Best Point-and-Shoot Cameras: Style, Features or Optics
