| Get Things Done With 3 Tiny Changes To Your Day Posted: 30 Oct 2014 11:00 AM PDT  With a tiny adjustment here, another one there, your day (and your life) can go from zero to transformed. Call it your private butterfly effect. There will be good days and bad days, productive and unproductive ones. What matters is the kind of days you have more often. You can tilt the scales in favor of the productive days by making some simple changes to your routine. Here are three of them to get you started. Pooh pooh them at your own risk, because they can build up over time to have as much, if not more, positive impact as major changes...

| Launch Multiple Programs From A Single Shortcut Using A Batch File Posted: 30 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Some PC applications just work together like two peas in a pod. I’m talking about pairs like Winamp and Last.fm. There’s Skype and Pidgin, Steam and Raptr, and more. When you’re using one of these, launching the next one just feels natural. However, having too many paired program groups like this can really cause some serious clutter on the desktop. That being said, is there really a need to have both shortcuts on your desktop when two applications work alongside each other? If you don’t think so and you’re running Windows, let me show you how to combine both applications... Read the full article: Launch Multiple Programs From A Single Shortcut Using A Batch File |
| How To Be An Effective Minimalist In Your Daily Life Posted: 30 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT  These days, more and more people are choosing to embrace minimalism. In certain situations this can wreak frustrating havoc on your everyday life. With some minimal planning it doesn’t have to come to that. Let’s look at how to overcome four of these minimalist hurdles. What Is Minimalism? Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus over at TheMinimalists.com describe minimalism as "a tool used to rid yourself of life's excess in favor of focusing on what's important so you can find happiness, fulfilment, and freedom". In essence, minimalism, as a way of life, is centered on living with less, ridding yourself of everything that... Read the full article: How To Be An Effective Minimalist In Your Daily Life |
| Why The Next 10 Years Looks Bad for Internet Censorship Posted: 30 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT  The Internet is often idealized as a bastion of information freedom, but not everyone has the same ideal. One of the most pernicious things that keeps the Internet from reaching its ideal open, democratic state is state-sponsored censorship. And although denizens of the world are learning more about censorship and learning new ways to counteract it, the outlook for the future of Internet freedom isn’t looking good. Censorship Is Everywhere When most people think of Internet censorship, they think about political dictatorships and hardline Middle Eastern countries. China, Russia, and Iran are often discussed as countries that lack sufficient information... Read the full article: Why The Next 10 Years Looks Bad for Internet Censorship |

| 10 Excel Templates To Track Your Health and Fitness Posted: 30 Oct 2014 06:00 AM PDT  Have you ever noticed how hard it is to stay in peak physical condition? Sure, you might start off strong, avoiding junk food and going to the gym with a degree of regularity. You might even turn your home into a gym. But eventually, you start skipping sessions. Your diet starts slipping too, with ‘cheat days’ becoming ‘cheat weeks’ and ‘cheat months’. It’s a problem of motivation, really. Keeping motivated and goal-oriented is hard. This is especially true when gyms can be sweaty, noisy and intimidating places, and when there’s so much delicious food out there that’s totally bad for...

| Parrot Jumping Sumo Mini-Drone Review and Giveaway Posted: 30 Oct 2014 05:30 AM PDT  The first company to offer a truly consumer-level drone (which we reviewed a few years ago), Parrot has now introduced a range of more toy-like devices at a cheaper price point. Today, we take a look at the Jumping Sumo, a $160 Wi-Fi-controlled self-balancing two-wheeled drone with a wide-angle camera. The Jumping Sumo does appear to be a first of its kind, but I do feel it needs to compete against cheaper toys such as the Hubsan X4, a $65 quadrocopter with HD camera; or this $80 spy tank. Design The first thing that struck me about the Jumping Sumo is how... Read the full article: Parrot Jumping Sumo Mini-Drone Review and Giveaway |
| Testing A New Operating System? Stay Secure With A Virtual Machine Posted: 30 Oct 2014 05:00 AM PDT  When Microsoft released the Windows 10 Technical Preview, many users installed it without a second thought. It turned out to be unsuitable as a main OS and users scrambled to revert back to Windows 7 or 8. None of that would’ve been necessary if they had just used a virtual machine instead. If the term “virtual machine” soars over your head, don’t worry. It’s not as hard as you think and you’ll benefit greatly from using one. Here’s why. What Is A Virtual Machine? Simply put, a virtual machine (VM) is a program that allows you to emulate a separate... Read the full article: Testing A New Operating System? Stay Secure With A Virtual Machine |
