| Five Tips For Managing Your Security In Windows 8.1 Posted: 23 May 2014 11:00 AM PDT  As we recently covered, Windows 8.1 is Microsoft’s most secure release of the operating system so far. The company has completely overhauled many of the OS’s key security features whilst introducing new levels of protection such as Secure Boot and Dynamic Access Control. After critics have spent most of the last decade criticising Windows for its often lackadaisical approach to online safety, it seems the developers finally decided to listen and address their concerns. Although Windows 8.1 is now much improved, it doesn’t mean you should trust Microsoft (or any other company) to protect you. There are many things that...

| Use Your Browser To Upload To Google Play Music Posted: 23 May 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Google just decided to make Google Play Music a lot more useable.

When I first checked out Google Play Music, there was one very big problem: you could only upload music via a special app. That ruled out Chromebooks immediately, which was just a tad ironic coming from Google. But now Google have come up with a better solution for uploading your music to Google Play Music, which is to use a Chrome extension to allow uploads. And it’s as easy as...

Now let’s see how you can improve that experience, which in some cases — if you think cloud-based syncing is creepy — might actually mean disabling OneDrive altogether. Move OneDrive Folder Changing OneDrive’s default location is easy and has many advantages.... Read the full article: 5 Smart Ways To Customize & Improve OneDrive In Windows 8.1 |
