| Posted: 24 Sep 2014 07:30 PM PDT  Today, almost everything is paperless. Don’t believe me? Check out the evolution of the desk. Over the last 30 years, we’ve managed to digitise our lives.

| How To Spark Personal Growth: 5 Tricks Of The Entrepreneur Posted: 24 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT  Not everyone has to be an entrepreneur, but everyone can learn something from the entrepreneur.

| Drone Wars: How UAV Tech Is Transforming the Future of War Posted: 24 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  In the history of warfare, there have been a few major revolutions: the advent of the firearm, the introduction of nuclear power and weaponry, and the launch of military satellites to name a few.

| How To Monitor Your Car’s Performance With Android Posted: 24 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Android devices make great mini-carputers, but rather than just relying your phone or tablet for navigation and entertainment, why not go hardcore and start monitoring your car’s performance and collect diagnostic information? Finding A Suitable OBD2 Device There are two types of OBD2 connectors available, but only one that can be reliably used with your Android device. Ignore those with a USB cable — although they may look as though they can be used with an OTG-compatible device, few apps (if any) support this.
