| The Evolution Of The Batmobile Posted: 18 Jul 2014 07:30 PM PDT  Batman’s Batmobile is a true icon. Over the years, we’ve seen a variety of Batmobiles. You probably wanted the one from Tim Burton’s movies — the crazy Batmobile fitted with a jet turbine engine, rear afterburner, and hidden machine guns. Personally, I don’t care much for the Batmobile in Joel Schumacher’s Batman and Robin, but to each is own. Heck, I would love to drive TV Batman Adam West’s Batmobile — that is cool.

| Edit, Create, And Enjoy Your Photos With Ashampoo Photo Commander 12 Posted: 18 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT  Everyone loves to take photos. It’s a way to remember the events that happen throughout our lives, so we can go back years later and take in all the cool stuff we did. Managing the large amount of photos we take can seem like a full time job. We have to find a place to store them, edit anything that might be wrong with them, and if we want to be truly creative, actually do something interesting with them, besides just sharing them to social media. This is where photo software comes into play, and today we are going to... Read the full article: Edit, Create, And Enjoy Your Photos With Ashampoo Photo Commander 12 |
| Just How Dangerous Is It To Share Your Information On Facebook? Posted: 18 Jul 2014 11:00 AM PDT  I don’t think you need us to tell you by now about the risks of revealing too much on Facebook. In light of the NSA revelations, people are becoming more security-conscious and being more careful about what they say and reveal online. However, despite knowing the pitfalls, some people still insist on telling the whole world via Facebook what they did with their day. From a security point of view, telling everyone you ate Sugar Puffs for breakfast, or posting a photo of your belly button lint, isn’t going to get you into hot water. But the following might.

| What Is RSS and How Can It Improve Your Life? Posted: 18 Jul 2014 10:00 AM PDT  An ancient Web technology beats the pants off news delivery from social media. In truth, Facebook and Google+ don’t deliver true news. Social media content arrives late and at random; it’s not tailored to your needs and lacks organization. Many denizens of Facebook don’t know that a better technology exists that absolutely thrashes social media in efficiency, organization and utility. Just three simple words can change the way you use and consume information – forever: Really Simple Syndication, or RSS. Functioning like a customizable, digital newspaper, RSS benefits almost everyone – from working professionals wanting to keep abreast of the...

| Use This PC Cleaner Software To Keep Windows Running Smoothly Posted: 18 Jul 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Overzealous PC cleaning can break things, but some cleaning will help you free up space and keep your system running quickly. Trimming down those unnecessary temporary files you don’t need is particularly crucial if you have a small solid-state drive and you want to make the most of its storage. Windows Disk Cleanup Windows has a built-in Disk Cleanup tool, which you can access in several ways. For example, you could open File Explorer or Windows Explorer, right-click a disk like your C: drive, select Properties, and click the Disk Cleanup button. Or, you could tap the Windows key to open the... Read the full article: Use This PC Cleaner Software To Keep Windows Running Smoothly |
| How To Try Ubuntu’s Upcoming Desktop Right Now Posted: 18 Jul 2014 08:00 AM PDT  The Unity desktop you know and (maybe) love has its days numbered. Canonical is at work on Unity 8, which looks more to revolutionize the desktop shell rather than just evolve it. While it’s still quite a while away from being the default desktop on your next Ubuntu installation, curious folks can try it out right now if they’d like. Here’s how and what to expect so far with the new desktop. Why Is Unity Changing? While I don’t think Canonical has anything against the current Unity desktop, it has much bigger plans in store. The company has been working... Read the full article: How To Try Ubuntu’s Upcoming Desktop Right Now |
| Common Mobile Display Technologies You Should Know Posted: 18 Jul 2014 07:00 AM PDT  When you’re comparing different mobile devices, whether they’re phones, tablets, e-readers, or laptops, one of the differentiating features can be the display technology. But do you know the difference between OLED and AMOLED? What about LCD and e-ink? This guide will get you up to speed. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Retina Liquid crystal is a fascinating substance that has molecular properties of both liquids and solids — the application of an electrical current affects those properties, allowing more or less light to pass through a particular pixel, creating a gray scale. In a full-color display, each pixel has three... Read the full article: Common Mobile Display Technologies You Should Know |
| 5 Ways To Keep Civilization 5 Interesting While You Wait For Beyond Earth Posted: 18 Jul 2014 06:00 AM PDT  Civilization 5 will be four years old this September. Since it launched in 2010, it has enjoyed widespread critical acclaim, seen two big game changing expansions, and offered numerous faction and map packs. According to Steam’s statistics, the game still fields over 50,000 concurrent players on most days, and rarely leaves the list of the 10 most played games. If you’ve never played it, you owe yourself the pleasure of picking up the latest entry in one of the most addictive franchises in PC gaming. On the other hand, if you’ve already poured hundreds of hours of rapt attention into... Read the full article: 5 Ways To Keep Civilization 5 Interesting While You Wait For Beyond Earth |
| RAVPower RP-WCN11 Wireless Power Bank Review and Giveaway Posted: 18 Jul 2014 05:30 AM PDT  The $54.99 RAVPower RP-WCN11 provides a portable means of powering your gadgets — and it includes wireless, inductive charging using the Qi standard. It works with any device compatible with the Qi standard, such as the Nexus 7 and 5. To my knowledge, no similar power bank exists, however around the 5,000 mAh power bank market segment, there’s the $39.89 Vaas VM50, which offers dual output ports. Generic Qi-chargers, on the other hand, run for around $20 on Amazon, although they lack the WCN11′s efficacy and added features. In terms of pricing, it’s more in line with the $68 8,000 mAh...

| Nokia Drops Android Phones, Microsoft Cuts 18,000 Jobs, And More… [Tech News Digest] Posted: 18 Jul 2014 04:30 AM PDT  Also, Bing joins Google in offering the “right to be forgotten,” Facebook likes celebrities more than you, Edward Snowden hates Dropbox, sales of the Xbox One double, and Amazon releases the first ad for the Fire Phone. Nokia Drops Android For Windows Phone Nokia’s brief foray into the world of Android is over, with the company going all in on Windows Phone. This shouldn’t come as any great surprise, as Nokia is now part of Microsoft, and Microsoft was never going to be willing to sell Android as a legitimate mobile operating system.
