| What Would You Give Up Before The Internet? [We Ask You] Posted: 18 Sep 2013 02:30 PM PDT  The fact that you’re reading these words at this very moment means you’re connected to the rest of the world via the Internet. It’s easy to forget how epic the Internet is, and how much it has grown since it first hit the mainstream in the 1990s. But it pays to remember on occasion what a phenomenal resource we have at our fingertips. Obviously not everybody in the world has access to the pleasures of the online world, with millions of people yet to have experienced the Internet and everything it has to offer. Which is a crying shame for... Read the full article: What Would You Give Up Before The Internet? [We Ask You]  |
| 4 Battlefield 2 Mods That Will Make You Want To Play It Again Posted: 18 Sep 2013 02:00 PM PDT  Battlefield 2 is an old game. Since its release, numerous entries in the Battlefield: Bad Company franchise have hit the scene, as has Battlefield 3. On top of that, Battlefield 4 is almost upon us. However, in spite of all of these newer Battlefield games hitting the market, none reproduce the experience of Battlefield 2. There is a certain quality that no other shooter has been able to live up to. So what is a fan to do? After all, in spite of how awesome Battlefield 2 is, there is only so many times you can run through the same...

| Upgraded to iOS 7? 5 Shiny New Things To Check Out Right Away Posted: 18 Sep 2013 01:45 PM PDT  Apple’s annual software update is finally ready for public consumption and while things sure do look different this time round, much of what makes iOS tick remains the same. Don’t be surprised – iOS hasn’t really changed much since it was known as iPhone OS, aside from added features and a few licks of paint. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, after all: why fix what isn’t broken? While iOS 7′s changes might not be as revolutionary as some might have hoped, the free upgrade still offers a good number of shiny new things to check out once your iDevice...

| Google Wallet Looks Beyond NFC And Is Now Available On All Android Phones Posted: 18 Sep 2013 01:30 PM PDT  The new Google Wallet app is a significant update because now it won't be limited to just NFC enabled smartphones, but all Android handsets. The restriction of the app being U.S. only remains of course. So, if you have Android 2.3 or higher, you can use the latest version of Google Wallet and to send money to any U.S. resident with an e-mail address (and 18+ age). Amounts can be transferred for free from your balance on Google Wallet, a linked bank account, or with the add-on of a slight charge — any linked debit or credit card. The removal...

| 3 Ways to Download All Videos in a YouTube Channel Posted: 18 Sep 2013 01:00 PM PDT  YouTube is great to check out videos on the fly. It’s fast, dynamic and incredibly easy to find other related videos. However, if you have to go offline, that won’t do you much good. Why not download those videos to your computer instead? Not only does this let your enjoy your videos offline, you can also use them in presentations or your own projects. Downloading a single YouTube video is simple, but it’s a bit harder to download all the videos from a particular YouTube channel in one go. Today we’ll be offering you three ways to tackle this problem.... Read the full article: 3 Ways to Download All Videos in a YouTube Channel  |

| 5 Dangerous Gaming Injuries And How To Avoid Them Posted: 18 Sep 2013 11:30 AM PDT  Imagine that you can no longer grasp a can of soda without your wrist feeling like it wants to explode. That, my friend, is what that innocent-looking game console can do to you. I’m not speaking about this as a medical expert, or as a concerned parent hoping to sway kids from playing video games, but as a witness to the pain and suffering that extreme gaming can cause to the human body. My gaming addiction actually started when I was about 13 – caused by the original Ultima series produced by Origin Systems. After seeking out magic runes and...

| Bing Upgrades Interface Along With A New Logo Posted: 18 Sep 2013 11:00 AM PDT  Bing – the Microsoft search engine alternative – has attempted to appeal to Internet users once again with a logo redesign and an updated user interface. Launched on Monday, the new logo and interface is part of Microsoft’s plan to provide a ”simple, real, and direct” experience. The logo redesign uses a sleek vectorized “b” as well as Segoe, Microsoft’s corporate font. The entire logo is also a monochrome orange, using the same hue as the lower-right portion of the main Windows logo. Besides aesthetics, the user interface has also been altered. The search engine now offers a more dynamic design... Read the full article: Bing Upgrades Interface Along With A New Logo  |

Whether you’re a disgruntled customer looking to lodge a complaint with someone in charge, a reporter trying to get in touch with the right person, or just attempting to get in touch with a long-lost friend, you may not have the recipient’s email id. We have told you how to verify if an email address exists, but to find one you don’t know requires a little ingenuity.

| Missing Media Tools in Windows 8? Easily Burn Audio and View DVDs Posted: 18 Sep 2013 10:00 AM PDT  Windows 8 makes it hard to burn audio and watch video DVDs thanks to hidden apps and missing licences. This is all part of the move away from optical media – fortunately, we can show you how to work around this. Times are changing, and not all Windows 8 computers ship with a DVD drive. But even if you have an external optical drive or have upgraded an old PC, burning an audio disc or watching a video DVD can be tough (data DVDs can be read regardless). Finding the software you need to perform these tasks is relatively simple,... Read the full article: Missing Media Tools in Windows 8? Easily Burn Audio and View DVDs  |
| Need A Fresh Desktop Environment for Linux? Try Openbox Or xmonad Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:30 AM PDT  Gnome and KDE (or even Xfce and LXDE) aren’t the only desktop environments out there for Linux. Openbox and xmonad are just two lightweight window managers you could use instead. Both are very lightweight (yes, lighter than Xfce or even LXDE), which is perfect for squeezing every ounce of performance out of your system while possibly increasing your productivity. Openbox Openbox, unlike xmonad, offers a traditional “programs-go-in-windows” concept – but it certainly strips that concept down to the basics. You can install Openbox on any Linux distribution by searching through your respective package manager for “openbox”. Once the installation has completed, you can...

| How to Choose and Optimise Your Raspberry Pi Browser Posted: 18 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT  Whatever your current Raspberry Pi project, you might need to access the web. Unfortunately, speedy browsing isn’t a strength of this small computer – is there any way to speed things up? Thankfully, there are several methods you can use, depending on your chosen browser. For instance, if you’re using the Raspbian distro (and as the most popular option among many, we’ll assume you are) then you will have the Midori browser pre-installed. Although useful, this browser doesn’t really offer much in terms of speed. So what should you do? Is there a better browser that Raspberry Pi users might...

| Photobucket & Imgur: 2 Underrated & Unloved iOS Image Sharing Apps Posted: 18 Sep 2013 08:45 AM PDT  When it comes to sharing images these days, everyone automatically turns to cloud services such as Dropbox or Google Drive. This is fine, I am a huge Dropboxer myself, but other simpler free alternatives also exist. Some don’t impose any storage limits which is nice if you are hitting your limit, and you are blanching at Dropbox’s insane prices. Lots of these photo sharing sites exist – the best known one being Flickr. Despite being revamped with 1TB of space, Flickr is dying a slow painful death at the hands of its executioner, Yahoo! (got to remember the exclamation point there). So... Read the full article: Photobucket & Imgur: 2 Underrated & Unloved iOS Image Sharing Apps  |
