| Learn To Draw Anything Thanks To YouTube [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 06 Jan 2014 05:30 PM PST  YouTube is a fantastic learning tool, and that’s primarily because many of us learn best by watching someone do something. This rings especially true when it comes to drawing – if you’re bursting with creativity but are falling short in the artistic department, YouTube might be able to help. Drawing is a skill best nurtured by practice, but a little help can go a long way. Whether you’re having trouble drawing facial features like eyes or haven’t got a clue how to tackle a 3D perspective, it’s YouTube to the rescue!

| 9GAG: Laugh Until You Can’t Laugh Anymore Posted: 06 Jan 2014 02:00 PM PST  Maybe you’ve heard of this meme-sharing site which shares some similarities with Reddit (which is a really cool website), or maybe this is your first encounter with 9GAG.

| Give Your Text Stunning Designs Easily With Notegraphy Posted: 06 Jan 2014 01:00 PM PST  Is this text boring? And this? And this? I’m not talking about the actual content. I’m referring to the way it looks. Text can be boring or interesting, depending on what it actually says, but no matter where you read it — on a website, in a book, or even on a social network — it’s likely to look about the same…in spite of different fonts. Personally, this never bothered me before, but that was before I tried Notegraphy. Notegraphy makes it easy to create stylized snippets of text for yourself, or to share on social networks, and can also...

| Fight Superheroes in Injustice: The Gods Amongst Us for Android & iOS Posted: 06 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST  The superhero genre has undergone a renaissance of late. Gone are the days of cheesy dialogue, Val Kilmer and seeing a technicolor 'THWACK! KAPOW! THUD!' whenever Batman landed a punch. Instead, things are now a bit more… well, dark. Less slapstick. Injustice: The Gods Amongst Us is no exception. This free iOS and Android beat-em-up game is set in the DC comics universe and throws you into a world that pits you against some of the most fearsome adversaries from both film and comic book lore. But is it more Batman Begins, or more Batman Forever? Gameplay I tested Injustice:... Read the full article: Fight Superheroes in Injustice: The Gods Amongst Us for Android & iOS  |
| Three Awesome Linux Laptops You Can Buy Right Now Posted: 06 Jan 2014 10:00 AM PST  Linux is amazing, unless it won’t install. Then it just hurts. Fortunately, a number of laptop makers build machines specifically for Linux. A handful of others, such as Hewlett-Packard, design their products with Linux in mind. But how many of these offer good performance? This article covers three manufacturers who make Linux-equipped laptops and a few of their wares. Three Laptop Companies Unfortunately, purpose-built Linux laptops cost slightly more on average than those with Windows. Even low-end laptops, oftentimes with Intel Celeron processors, come with a premium, provided they include a Linux distribution. I’m not sure why this is, as Linux...

| Thousands Of Yahoo.com Visitors May Be Infected With Malware Posted: 06 Jan 2014 06:30 AM PST  Yahoo has been on a roll after Marissa Mayer took over, redesigning Yahoo Mail and giving 1TB of storage on Flickr.

| What Happened When I Went Completely Offline For A Week Posted: 06 Jan 2014 06:00 AM PST  Any day now, some biologist will declare that the DNA of the average 21st-century person is organized not into chromosomes, but into IP addresses. I, for one, won’t be shocked by any such announcement, because that’s the extent to which computers and the Internet seem to have taken over everyday living. Our lives now stand divided into two categories: online and offline. That we need a separate label to describe life without a computer/computer network is quite telling. In the past couple of years, I have often wished to slip back into the past to a simpler time when I... Read the full article: What Happened When I Went Completely Offline For A Week  |
