| Verified Viewing: 10 Highly Recommended YouTube Channels [We Ask You Results] Posted: 08 Jul 2014 06:30 PM PDT  We all know YouTube is the place to go for videos of all descriptions. Well, those that are both legal and suitable for work, at least. There are alternatives to YouTube, but none that have the brand awareness and breadth of content that the Google-owned site can boast. Channels have been a key ingredient in YouTube’s recipe for success. They allow content creators to shine, and give people a reason to return to the site on a daily basis. It was for this reason we explored the subject of YouTube channels in last week’s We Ask You. YouTube, WeTube, EveryoneTubes...

| Replace Mac Preview: 3 Quick-Look Apps for OS X Posted: 08 Jul 2014 12:00 PM PDT  Of all the software that ships with Mac OS X, Preview is one of the best pieces of software. It’s easy to use and very powerful, with a veritable wealth of features and possibilities. However, there are a couple of areas where it appears lacking: lightweight previews and quickly browsing through a large amount of images. Luckily, some of the other third-party image viewers are more than up for the job. Xee³ ($3.99) Xee³ is a simple, but versatile image viewer. The interface is lightweight, with the larger portion of screen real estate going to the image and a only small toolbar dedicated to...
