| iOS Apps on Sale for 18 January: Productivity Apps & Joe Danger Posted: 17 Jan 2014 05:30 PM PST  App sales are like buses. You spend a long time waiting for the right reductions, and then the entire App Store goes on sale at once. Those are generally referred to as “holidays” and they provide an excellent excuse to part with your cash. But what about the rest of the year? Well we have our moments, but some weeks just aren’t as good as others. This just so happens to be one of those weeks, and while there’s no shortage of quality below – I wish I could have found some more. Apps Specifics HD ($1.99, now free) Combining...

| Download The New Box iOS App Within 30 Days & Get 50GB Of Free Storage Posted: 17 Jan 2014 04:30 PM PST  Cloud storage is big business these days and Box is aiming to turn the heat up on rivals such as Dropbox and Google Drive by offering a huge 50GB of free storage to anyone who downloads their free iOS app. Compare that to the much smaller amounts offered by some competitors, and Box may very well have a winning strategy on their hands. But there is a snag – you only have the next 30 days (from the 15th Jan) to download the app and get your free space. So you need to be quick. The newly redesigned app sports...

| PWgen For Firefox: The Quickest Way To Create Secure Random Passwords Posted: 17 Jan 2014 12:00 PM PST  Create secure passwords, quickly. PWgen is a Firefox extension that copies random passwords to your clipboard in just one click. Passwords are they key to your online life, so it’s important to keep them secure. The best thing is to have a completely different password for each site, which means having a good password manager. It also means coming up with a new password for each of these sites – or even more often, if coming up with passwords is part of your job. You can try creating good passwords that are also memorable, but for some people, that’s just not secure...

| 4 Gaming Mouse Mats Compared: Which Maximizes Performance Posted: 17 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST  Anyone with the goal of playing PC games at a competitive level should know the importance of equipment. Gamers often think about their mouse and keyboard as the first, and most important piece of the equipment, and they aren’t wrong, but there is another piece of the puzzle: the mouse mat. This is where that high-end mouse meets the surface, and for gamers looking to maximize their performance, a good mat is critical. Don’t skimp here, because spending $200 on a top-of-the-line mouse and using a cheap mouse mat will void much of the performance gained. Don’t worry though, we...

| Make Windows Start Faster: 10 Non-Essential Startup Items You Can Safely Remove Posted: 17 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST  So your computer has been booting up slowly lately? You probably have too many programs and services trying to start up all at once. But you haven’t added any programs to your startup, so how do they get there? Often times, programs will automatically add themselves to the startup. That’s why it’s a good idea to pay attention when installing software and occasionally remove crapware. That said, not all programs that add themselves to the startup are junk. Let me show you some of the most common applications and services that you may find automatically starting when you boot up your computer. In addition, we’ll look...

| Google Chrome 32 Brings Data Compress To Mobiles, Website Shortcuts to Android Posted: 17 Jan 2014 09:30 AM PST  With each new update of the Chrome browser, Google brings something new to the table. Chrome 32 for mobile has a significant new feature though: the ability to automatically reduce your data consumption. Additionally, Android users can create shortcuts to websites on the homescreen and iOS users get a taste of the Translate feature. But the big news, of course, is data consumption. The new data compression and bandwidth management feature claims it can reduce data usage by up to 50% on either Android or iOS. There are already ways to curb mobile data usage, but this promises to be... Read the full article: Google Chrome 32 Brings Data Compress To Mobiles, Website Shortcuts to Android  |
| Need Help Installing Chrome and Codecs in Fedora Linux? Try Fedora Utils Posted: 17 Jan 2014 09:00 AM PST  Get Fedora set up how you want it, quickly. Fedora Utils makes otherwise tedious setup steps simple. Fedora, a Linux distribution meant for more advanced users, is known to be a bit difficult to start off with, even if you have plenty of experience with other distributions. The fact that Fedora places such a strong emphasis on open source software – as it prohibits things like patented codecs from its official repositories – doesn’t make things any easier, as there are plenty of people who want to use Fedora but don’t care quite as much about its ethical beliefs. Also,... Read the full article: Need Help Installing Chrome and Codecs in Fedora Linux? Try Fedora Utils  |
| What Is The Easiest Way To Solve A Rubik’s Cube? Posted: 17 Jan 2014 08:00 AM PST  The Rubik’s cube is one of those puzzles that are endlessly fascinating to people of all age groups. But, trying to solve it for the first time can be an exercise in frustration. If only there was an easy way to learn how. Well, as it happens, there is. I’m a first-time cuber myself, if you ignore my previous attempts to solve the puzzle by idly twisting the cube this way and that, without applying an ounce of thought or logic. Driven by the desire to learn to solve the Rubik’s cube, I decided to start afresh, this time with... Read the full article: What Is The Easiest Way To Solve A Rubik’s Cube?  |
| Play Quake III Arena On Your iPhone Or iPad With Beben III Posted: 17 Jan 2014 07:00 AM PST  Quake III Arena was id Software’s latest and greatest first person shooter in December 1999, and it’s a game that has aged with grace and a still-active community. Choosing to forgo the single player campaign, and thus the “story” element of Quake; Arena was instead a purely multiplayer experience, even offline with bots in place of humans. The result was an addictive, repetitive and brutal deathmatch experience that continues to be played to this day in various forms. It’s taken quite some time, but thanks to Beben III ($0.99) from developer Ronny Stiftel, Quake III Arena and it’s open source...

| Google Play Movies and TV Hits iOS, But You Can’t Buy Stuff Posted: 17 Jan 2014 06:30 AM PST  It’s been just over a year since Google first unveiled its new Google Play platform of books, music, movies and TV shows. And while Android users have been enjoying the service’s many benefits, iOS users have been getting it in trickles. First it was books, then music and now, finally, Google Play Movies and TV has made its way to the App Store. The biggest reason to rejoice with this is that you can finally watch a whole lot of cool movies through Chromecast, as Gizmodo so aptly puts it. Until now, users who have an iPhone or iPad could...

| How To Stream PC Media To Your Sony Media Player Posted: 17 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST  How many geeks does it take to stream a video from a PC to a TV over a wireless network? It depends on whether they can look up the directions on their smartphone. One of the most common methods to stream media from the Internet to a television set is through the use of a large family of Sony media player or streaming products. One of the most common products is the Sony Network Media Player. I bought the SMP-N100 model a year ago, but these days you can choose from a long list of SMP models with various features, or...

| Collect, Extract & Organize Research Fast With Summary Pro for iPad Posted: 17 Jan 2014 05:00 AM PST  The Internet makes researching most topics fast and easy, and when it comes to managing those documents, notes, and clippings, Summary Pro ($2.99) for iPad takes some beating. Web annotation services like Diigo (one of my favorites) and the clipping features provided by Evernote are great for collecting, organizing, and reviewing research, but Summary Pro streamlines the note clipping process and helps keep your research organized. How It Works Summary Pro includes an in-built web browser which can clip anything on a webpage and save it to a folder with the swipe of your finger. So for example, you can do Google search for...
