| Old Computer Software People Still Use Today [We Ask You Results] Posted: 02 Sep 2014 06:30 PM PDT  Just because something is newer doesn’t mean it’s better. There have been many instances of companies releasing new products that are actually flawed in some way, making people wish they had stuck with what they knew before.

We explored these veterans of computer software in last week’s We Ask You, and the discussion threw up a long list of long-forgotten programs that someone, somewhere, still uses to this day. Old,...

| Stop Chrome From Hijacking Your Media Keys: Here’s How Posted: 02 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Chrome has support for system-wide keyboard shortcuts. If you install an app that uses media keys — like Google Play Music for Chrome — it will hijack those media keys. Even if you have the Chrome app closed, Chrome will hold onto those keys and not let them go as long as it’s running. You’ll find yourself unable to hit Play/Pause, Forward, and Back to control music in iTunes, Spotify, and other desktop media applications. But this can be fixed! This doesn’t just apply to media keys — Chrome can capture other system-wide keyboard shortcuts, too. Control Chrome’s Hotkeys Chrome...

It has now launched Pixlr for Desktop. Windows and Mac users can spare a few megabytes for its fun and powerful tools. Handling high-resolution images isn’t the only thing you can do with it.
