MeWe lets you share anything – photos, videos, voice messages, editable documents, mail, chat, and more.

| A Handful Of Excellent Easter Eggs [We Ask You Results] Posted: 28 Oct 2014 06:30 PM PDT  We were looking for those inedible Easter eggs you find hidden in computer software, operating systems, and video games. Instead, we got nothing but a tumbleweed being blown across a stark landscape. A bad question + no T-shirt offered as a prize = a disappointing We Ask You. Excellent Easter Eggs We asked you, What's The Best Easter Egg You Have Ever Seen? Unfortunately, we endured a woeful response to this question, with only a few people telling us about the best Easter eggs they have ever seen. Perhaps this term isn’t as well known amongst the mainstream as we... Read the full article: A Handful Of Excellent Easter Eggs [We Ask You Results] |
| How To Try Windows 10 If You’re Running Linux Posted: 28 Oct 2014 11:00 AM PDT  The Windows 10 Technical Preview (TP) contains several Linux-inspired features, including workspaces (multiple virtual desktops), windows spread (task view), and a Ubuntu style search. Microsoft took good ideas from multiple sources, including user feedback, and turned them into what appears to be an attractive and stable operating system. The Windows 10 TP has been downloaded over 1 million times and feedback has been surprisingly positive. Do you occasionally need Windows or have you been thinking about switching? Being in the preview state, Windows 10 isn’t ready to be your main OS, yet. Nevertheless, you can give the TP a free test run. Here...

| How To Permanently Allow Pop-ups In Chrome Posted: 28 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Pop-ups are traditionally viewed as one of the most annoying and frustrating aspects of Internet browsing. Not all pop-ups are bad, however, and there might be occasions where you want or need to enable them. Where Did Pop-Ups Come From? The phenomenon of pop-up advertising began when the Internet began to go mainstream in the mid-to-late 1990s. Originally developed by one of the first user-generated content sites – called Tripod.com – their creator Ethan Zuckerman later apologised for the unforeseen nuisance which they had become. Opera is frequently overlooked as serious browser, yet it was the first major browser to incorporate... Read the full article: How To Permanently Allow Pop-ups In Chrome |
| Windows 10 Is Evolving – This Is What’s New In Build 9860 Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:30 AM PDT  Microsoft is morphing Windows 10 right in front of our eyes. Last week, Microsoft released Build 9860, the first new version of Windows 10 Technical Preview (TP). This new build is said to contain over 7,000 improvements and fixes, most of them under the hood. Alas, Microsoft only highlighted three. We’ll show you a few more, including at least two that you can look forward to being activated in a future build. What’s New In Build 9860? See Notifications Listed In Action Center The Action Center, à la Windows Phone, addresses a Windows 8 annoyance: Toast notifications would briefly pop up,...

| Google Inbox Review: A Breath Of Fresh Air Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:30 AM PDT  Inbox just might be the email makeover we didn’t know we were waiting for. Gmail is clearly the champion of free email providers, but not content with simply maintaining the status quo, Google has introduced a new email service: Inbox. Let’s take a look at Inbox and see what makes it worth upgrading from Gmail. How Do I Get It? Currently, Google Inbox is invite-only. If you want to try it, you’ll simply need to send an email to inbox@google.com (using your primary Gmail address), and they’ll send you an invite when it’s ready. Once you get it, you’ll have to install the Inbox app on... Read the full article: Google Inbox Review: A Breath Of Fresh Air |
| Blogo 2 Is The Mac Blogging App You’ve Been Looking For Posted: 28 Oct 2014 08:00 AM PDT  One thing I’ve noticed Windows switchers complain about about is a lack of a solid OS X blogging client. Sure, there’s Mars Edit, but it’s ugly, expensive, and lacks the finesse and polish of Windows Live Writer. But that’s all about to change – Blogo 2 is out, and it’s very, very good. Produced by a Rio-based team, Blogo 2 runs on OS X 10.8 or later, and costs $29.99 from the Mac app store. I first got my hands on Blogo 2 two months ago, when it was first released. It was glitchy and unfinished, and I left it alone for... Read the full article: Blogo 2 Is The Mac Blogging App You’ve Been Looking For |
