| 6 Ways to Hack & Customize the Windows 10 Start Menu Posted: 03 Feb 2015 09:30 AM PST  The Start Menu in the Windows 10 January edition is a step back. For Build 9926, Microsoft rebuilt Start in XAML, a code developers use to build apps for Windows 10. As a result, the Start Menu lacks customization options. While Microsoft promised more features would get implemented with future updates, here is what you can do in the meantime. Use an Alternative Start Menu Chances are that even once future updates roll around, you’re not satisfied with the new Windows 10 Start Menu.

Let me show you how. Basic Features Before we jump into the good stuff, I’ll recap that Mp3tag does offer what you expect.

| Another New Raspberry Pi… and it Supports Windows 10 Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:30 AM PST  Hot on the heels of the updated Raspberry Pi Model A+, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced another new device: the Raspberry Pi 2. The new Raspberry Pi 2 is six times faster than the previous version, the B+, and can even run Windows 10 (albeit a special version). Let’s look at what this means. Hardware Changes While the previous upgrade from the B to the B+ was largely iterative, the newly released 2 has some major hardware changes. The processor has been upgraded from a 700 MHz 32-bit ARM single core Broadcom BCM2835 to a newer 900 MHz ARM... Read the full article: Another New Raspberry Pi… and it Supports Windows 10 |
| 4 Steps to Find Information on Someone Online Posted: 03 Feb 2015 07:00 AM PST  It’s a classic scene in the movies. The private investigator, or the hero of the story, goes to a computer, enters a name, and up pops everything about that person. The entire life history, right down to the person’s favourite breakfast cereal and current colour of underwear. In real life however, it’s not THAT easy. Basic information such as addresses and phone numbers are easy enough to find (as a test, it only took me about 15 minutes to find the addresses and phone numbers of most of the MakeUseOf editors). But anything else is locked away behind a premium... Read the full article: 4 Steps to Find Information on Someone Online |

| Switching From Chrome: How to Make Firefox Feel Like Home Posted: 03 Feb 2015 05:00 AM PST  Firefox feels different from Chrome and there’s no denying it. Maybe you prefer the feel of Chrome but, for reasons we’ll soon explore, have decided that Firefox is the better browser for you. Is there anything you can do to make Firefox less of a foreign environment? Yes! To be clear, these two browsers are fundamentally different and it isn’t possible to turn Firefox into a perfect clone of Chrome (the same holds true for the other way around). These are simply suggestions that will help to bridge that gap and ease the transition. Why Make the Switch to Firefox?...

| Nothing Gets Deleted From the Internet, Ever. Here’s How. Posted: 03 Feb 2015 04:00 AM PST  The “Delete” button is a two-edged sword. It makes you feel safe online. Tweeted something you shouldn’t have? Delete it. But that same delete button can also be used to silence free speech and take down organizations like The Pirate Bay. What if you couldn’t delete data from the web? What if information on the net lived on forever? That’s exactly what a few people want to do. They’re ready to offer it for free as a service, they’re ready to let you download it, and they’re ready to enlist you in an attempt to protect the Internet’s core value:...
