| The 8 Biggest Security Breaches In History Posted: 20 Aug 2014 07:30 PM PDT  In this digital age, almost all of your personal information stored electronically — credit cards, usernames, passwords, bank details, even photos and videos. Compare that with the past, when we used to only trust certain organisations — banks, for example. Are we now so carefree with our trust to allow almost anyone to store our private details for us? Here’s a look at the worst security breaches in history, just to remind you that nothing is ever safe online.

| What TV Shows Have You Binge-Watched The Most? [We Ask You] Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:30 PM PDT  Binging is normally associated with negative behaviors. For example, people who binge on food usually aren’t the healthiest of individuals. However, binging on television shows is seen as a perfectly normal, healthy way of entertaining yourself over the course of a long weekend. Binging on TV shows has come to be known as “binge-watching,” a term now so ubiquitous that it has made it into the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary along with a handful of other new tech terms. If you weren’t already aware of it you will be now. Have you ever partaken in a spot... Read the full article: What TV Shows Have You Binge-Watched The Most? [We Ask You] |
| GPS III: Where Are We? And Where Are We Going? Posted: 20 Aug 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Fifteen years ago, the first GPS-enabled cellphone went on the market. It flopped, but the form factor it pioneered, combining near-military grade communications equipment with a consumer device has stayed with us. You can’t turn a corner without your phone or your watch or your shoes telling you where to go because they know exactly where you are. But this wasn’t always the case. A Brief History Of The GPS We take GPS for granted as a ‘commodity’, a grand gift from Regan-Era Star Wars Cold War MADness that occasionally teaches high schoolers about relativity. The depressing fact is that... Read the full article: GPS III: Where Are We? And Where Are We Going? |

| Posted: 20 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT  What’s the best PDF printer for Windows? We checked 7 of the most popular options to find out. It’s kind of shocking that printing in Windows 8 doesn’t come with a PDF option; Mac and Linux users have had this by default for years. Windows users still need dedicated software, and it’s all of varying quality. PDF printers let you save any file you can print as a PDF, meaning that any computer on Earth can open it without much trouble. Because these programs disguise themselves as regular printers, you can use them to create a PDF file in any program that... Read the full article: 7 Best Tools To Print To PDF |
| Watch Premier League Goals On Vine Or Reddit Straight Away For Free Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:30 AM PDT  Last week the English Premier League told fans to stop posting television footage of goals on Vine, which means that next week there will probably be considerably more Premier League goals on Vine. As the 2014/15 football season kicks off, TV and online outlets have once again snapped up many of the media rights. Such paywalls prevent fans who don’t want to pay for satellite subscriptions or premium online services from seeing the goals until the BBC airs Match of the Day late on Saturday evening. But now thanks to Twitter’s looping video service Vine and the ability to pause live TV, the goals are online before the replays have been shown. Fans...

| Calibrate & Maintain Your MacBook Battery For Best Performance Posted: 20 Aug 2014 08:00 AM PDT  As your MacBook ages, your battery performance decreases — that’s just a fact of life. But if you correctly calibrate and maintain your battery, it’s possible to improve performance and put off replacing it for as long as possible. Calibrating Your MacBook Battery If you have a MacBook or a MacBook Pro, you should calibrate your lithium-ion battery once a month. According to Apple, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and MacBook Airs released after mid-2009 are pre-calibrated and don’t require calibration. Other laptops, however, can benefit from a calibration. Batteries have internal microprocessors, and properly calibrating them will keep your onscreen battery display accurate and your...

Some career counselors say that the average American changes six to seven careers in a lifetime. Not just job hopping – but complete career U-turns.

| Love Interactive Fiction? Fill Your iPad Or iPhone With Text Adventures Posted: 20 Aug 2014 06:00 AM PDT  Before the days of high-definition gaming and 3D environments, many games took on the form of interactive fiction (IF). Also known as text adventures, these games rely entirely on the written word to give and take instruction using a console and a command line. Anyone who has ever found themselves absorbed in a good book is likely to enjoy interactive fiction, and iOS has found itself home to some of the best the genre has to offer. Frotz (Free) Frotz hasn’t been updated since October 2012, which was well before iOS 7 landed. For this reason, it’s pretty rough around the edges, very utilitarian in nature and surprisingly still the best way... Read the full article: Love Interactive Fiction?
