| 10 Fictional Gadgets We Wish Were Real [We Ask You Results] Posted: 03 Jun 2014 06:30 PM PDT  Technology moves at an alarming pace. Innovations come thick and fast, with the technology in use changing wildly from one decade to the next. The speed of this change is both scary and exciting. But mostly exciting. It means that we, as geeks, tend to keep one eye fixed firmly on the future, and books, movies, and video games all play into our collective need to dream about what tech is awaiting us in that future, whether it’s a dystopian one or a utopian one. With this in mind we set you the task of helping us compile a list... Read the full article: 10 Fictional Gadgets We Wish Were Real [We Ask You Results] |
| How To Securely Delete Files From Your HDD Or SSD In Windows Posted: 03 Jun 2014 02:00 PM PDT  When you hit the delete button, where does that file go? Does it just evaporate and leave a blank space on your drive? If you’ve been around computers long enough, you know that’s not what happens. But if you’re mostly an email and Facebook type of computer user, you might not know, or not even thought about it. You should think about it though, for a couple reasons. The first reason is so that you know you might be able to recover an accidentally deleted file. The second reason is so you know that, if you can recover a file you deleted,...

| The Linux Kernel: An Explanation In Layman’s Terms Posted: 03 Jun 2014 12:00 PM PDT  There are so many Linux distributions out in the wild, but there is only one de facto thing that they have in common: the Linux kernel. But while it’s often talked about, a lot of people don’t really know exactly what it does. Let’s take a look at what the Linux kernel really does and why it’s needed, with as few geeky terms as possible. What’s a Kernel? Each operating system uses a kernel. Without a kernel, you can’t have an operating system that actually works. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux all have kernels, and they’re all different. It’s...

| Posted: 03 Jun 2014 11:30 AM PDT  After last year’s big iOS 7 redesign, you’d expect a muted iOS 8 announcement at this year’s Worldwide Developer Conference – but you’d be wrong. If last year offered iOS users a lick of paint, this year provides far more changes under the hood that are set to shake up the Apple ecosystem for the better. This is evident from the company providing more tools and APIs to developers than ever before, the ability to replace some core OS components with third party ones and a proper (if simplified) file system at last. Introducing iOS 8 iOS is the software that powers the... Read the full article: What’s New In iOS 8? |

Make It Awesome Again With Stock Android Posted: 03 Jun 2014 09:00 AM PDT  The first generation Kindle Fire is now three years old, and while it remains a great tablet, it lags behind newer models.

The Fire has a full colour 1024×600 display, 8 GB storage, a dual-core 1 GHz CPU, and runs the Kindle Fire operating system – a modified version of Android 2.3.3 built around...

| Save Videos From Any Site – Even Netflix – With Applian’s Replay Capture Suite Posted: 03 Jun 2014 06:30 AM PDT  If you can watch or listen to something, you can record it. All you need is the right tool. The DVR is such a tool, for television. Because of it, TV viewers are used to recording shows and watching them later – something media companies have reluctantly accepted. Hoping to prevent the same attitude from becoming common online, these companies ensure sites like Netflix and Hulu encrypt their online offering – making them hard to download. But if you can watch or listen to something, you can record it – and Applian Technologies provides tools for doing that on your...
