| 5 Easy Ways To Grab Free High Resolution Stock Images With Your Email Posted: 18 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT  Stock photos suck. That’s the general refrain around the Web. It sucks more because you have to pay a nice premium to use the best stock photos. A valid criticism against stock photos says that they end up looking like each other – too generic they say. The Web is increasingly visual…and increasingly personalized. As a blogger, a media communicator, a website designer, or even as a DIY wallpaper designer sitting at home, you want to stand out from the crowd. A few large-hearted photographers and visual creatives are trying to distil the noise and bring something fresh to stock...

| Buying A New Smartphone? How To Understand The Hardware Specs Posted: 18 Apr 2014 12:00 PM PDT  There was once a time when buying a cell phone was like buying a CD player. Only a few specifications mattered, and they were generally easy to understand. Over time, however, phones have become miniature computers – and the specifications are nearly as complex as a PC’s. Besides the processor and RAM, users also have to worry about cellular, wireless, the camera and more. All this can seem overwhelming, but don’t worry; this guide will prove you don’t need to be a genius to figure out a phone’s innards. The Processor Let’s deal with the most complex component, the processor,... Read the full article: Buying A New Smartphone? How To Understand The Hardware Specs |
| Earn Money Writing: 4 Tips For Pitching A Great Guest Blog Post Posted: 18 Apr 2014 11:00 AM PDT  In an article last week, I gave you 6 tips on how to kickstart your guest blogging career. But getting your name out there and getting friendly with other bloggers isn’t the only thing you need to do — you also need to a great pitch. These four tips will help you develop one that’s really effective. What’s A Pitch? A guest-post pitch is just like a client, product, or story pitch — it’s a short presentation (or, in this case, an e-mail) that will show the blog owner that you have a great idea and that it’s worth pursuing....

| 5 Tips For Dota 2 Noobs That Will Make You A Better Player Posted: 18 Apr 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Dota 2 is a hard game. When you launch it and start playing, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. There is just so much happening. You have over 100 characters (called Heroes) in the game, each with their own set of abilities. You have a community full of players who expect you to know how to do everything right from the very first game, and it’s easy to just give up. We’ve already covered some streamers that will help you get better at Dota 2, but I am going to share some of my personal experience in a video that, coupled...

| How To Fix Unresponsive Native Apps After Updating to Windows 8.1 Posted: 18 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Users who upgraded to Windows 8.1 have encountered a variety of difficulties. We’ve already covered seven Windows 8.1 upgrade issues and how to fix them. One problem that we didn’t include was that of ‘dead titles’ on the start screen. Dead Tiles You can take several steps to safely upgrade to Windows 8.1 and although I was extremely careful, this was still a problem that I personally experienced. I know from my discussions on the Microsoft Community that several other users experienced the same issue, despite taking precautions. The problem consists of being left with non-responsive blank titles on the ‘All Apps’... Read the full article: How To Fix Unresponsive Native Apps After Updating to Windows 8.1 |

Maybe, maybe not, but it’s impossible to deny that this game paved the way for arcade gaming and beyond.

NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience software offers an easy interface full of useful settings for experienced PC gamers and console gaming refugees alike.

| 4 Ways to Monitor The Search Engine Health Of Your Site Posted: 18 Apr 2014 05:00 AM PDT  When you’re on a road trip, it’s nice to know where you are on a map, and how far you’ve got left to go until your destination. The same is true with your website. If your goal is to achieve the most traffic possible, you want to know if you’re achieving that goal, or if you’re headed for the cliff. There is nothing more disturbing for a website owner or blogger to one day check Google Analytics only to discover that most of the site’s traffic has disappeared, and there’s no clue anywhere as to why it even happened.
