| Mark Kermode Reviewing Bad Films Is Hilarious [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 24 Feb 2014 05:30 PM PST  Critics – you love them, you hate them, and most importantly you love to hate them. Very occasionally you’ll find the odd critic who speaks your language and makes you laugh, even when you don’t necessarily agree with what they’re saying. Mark Kermode is one such BBC film critic, broadcaster and radio personality whose legendary impersonation of hard-man British actor Danny Dyer probably gets more YouTube views than Danny Dyer himself. The Danny Dyer Reviews Danny Dyer is a British actor and TV personality most recently known for disheartening British non-medy Run For Your Wife and the Christmas 2013 special of...

| 4 Slick WhatsApp Alternatives that Guard Your Privacy Posted: 24 Feb 2014 02:00 PM PST  Facebook bought WhatsApp. Now that we’re over the shock of that news, are you worried about your data privacy? If you are, these four WhatsApp alternatives can help ease your mind. Facebook isn’t exactly known for its information privacy successes — in fact, its security gaffs have been some of the biggest tech news over the past few years, and its arcane security settings are infamous. We had to write a guide to help you figure them out. Fortunately, if you no longer feel comfortable sending data through WhatsApp, you have some secure alternatives. Wickr A self-destructing message app, Wickr aims... Read the full article: 4 Slick WhatsApp Alternatives that Guard Your Privacy  |
| Get the Latest News On Windows Phone With Weave Posted: 24 Feb 2014 01:00 PM PST  Looking for a news reader app for Windows Phone that can be tailored to display only the news you want and need?

| Gnome Boxes: An Easy Way To Set Up Virtual Machines in Linux Posted: 24 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST  VirtualBox and VMWare, which can run multiple operating systems on top of your current OS, aren’t the only two virtualization options available for Linux users. If you’re a Gnome Shell user (as in, you use the main interface of the Gnome 3 desktop), you can use something called Gnome Boxes for all your virtualization needs. About Gnome Boxes Gnome Boxes is a simple virtualization tool that prefers ease and convenience over numerous customization options. For the technically inclined, Gnome Boxes implements QEMU, which is a completely open source machine emulator and virtualization tool that claims to achieve near native performance...

| 5 Tips for Surviving Combat in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Posted: 24 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST  Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII may have familiar series qualities like spell names and giant riding chickens, but it’s a huge departure from what franchise fans are used to in the gameplay department. Lightning spends much of her quest fighting without fellow party members by her side, and she does so in an action packed battle system that demands fast reflexes and regular equipment swapping. If you started your journey on the normal difficulty, you likely found stronger resistance than you’ve come to expect from a Final Fantasy game. Monsters hit like trucks, and many seem to barely take any... Read the full article: 5 Tips for Surviving Combat in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII  |
| Troubleshoot and Share Your Wireless Internet in Windows 8 Posted: 24 Feb 2014 10:00 AM PST  Wi-Fi problems can be obnoxious, but there are some simple ways to fix most wireless problems without a degree in computer networking. If you’d like to share your Windows 8 PC’s wireless Internet connection with other PCs, that’s also easy. This works whether you want to share a tablet’s cellular data connection, a wired Ethernet connection, or even another Wi-Fi connection. Troubleshoot Your Wi-Fi First, try rebooting your computer. Yes, it may seem silly, but rebooting fixes a surprising amount of problems. For example, if you’ve run into a bug with the driver for your WiFi hardware, rebooting will reinitialize...

| TV Buying Guide: How To Pick The Right TV For Your Living Room Posted: 24 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST  If you are looking to buy a TV, you have probably done your research and know what the different terms mean — if not, we have a jargon-busting guide for TV technology. But having that knowledge is only half the battle. When it comes to actually buying the TV, there’s a lot more involved than what’s on a spec sheet. Television sets are more difficult to shop for than something like a mobile phone because, firstly, there aren’t as many reviewers covering that technology and secondly, it’s a much more long-term (and usually expensive) decision than a smartphone. But don’t... Read the full article: TV Buying Guide: How To Pick The Right TV For Your Living Room  |
| Getting Started With World Of Warcraft: A Complete Newbie’s Guide Posted: 24 Feb 2014 08:00 AM PST  World of Warcraft, though down from its peak of 12 million subscribers, still enthralls over 7 million players every month. A new expansion, Warlords of Draenor, is on the way, so you may be thinking about joining in on the fun. The period just before and after an expansion is a great time to start playing, since there's lots of a new content as well as patches to old zones. With that said, the game can be intimidating for newcomers in spite of its reputation as a relatively easy title for players to enjoy. There are 90 levels (which will...

| You Don’t Need The Latest Thing. No, Seriously. Posted: 24 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST  Predictions are usually wrong, so I hate to make them. But here’s one I’m sure of. A company you like will release an improved version of a product you own. You will want this improved version, and will dwell on that desire – spurred on by advertising and glittery reviews. You may ultimately purchase it, and upon doing so will think that you’re finally happy with your technology. In a few weeks, however, your new device will be more or less serving the same role as your old device – and you’ll have less money. Of course, this is only...

| BitTorrent Revamps Android App With Easier File Sharing Posted: 24 Feb 2014 06:30 AM PST  BitTorrent brings a new look and feel to its Android app. BitTorrent Version 2 shows significant changes like the ability to select and download individual files within a torrent. You also get a completely redesigned interface for simpler file downloading and for easier sharing of BitTorrent Bundles. Similar UI changes also come to BitTorrent’s desktop application and uTorrent as well. Downloading is now far more intuitive – you can not only download individual files within a torrent, but you can do it before or during the download. The mobile app allows you to pick a download location and see the... Read the full article: BitTorrent Revamps Android App With Easier File Sharing  |
| Make Your Website More Reader, Printer, And PDF Friendly With PrintFriendly Posted: 24 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST  Printing is becoming less common, and it’s not hard to see why. There’s the growing popularity of going paperless, and there’s the ridiculously high ink prices. PDFs have been the solution for many, but how does one take a cluttered, ad-ridden webpage and turn it into an easy-to-read document? As a website owner you should provide a cheap and green solution for your readers, who want to take your content with them either on paper or in a PDF. If you have a self-hosted WordPress site, the solution is simple – the PrintFriendly And PDF Button plugin, one of our favorite WordPress...

| The Algorithm is People! Rocking out with Beats Music for Android Posted: 24 Feb 2014 05:00 AM PST  Beats Music is aiming to turn your phone into a virtual DJ. Nobody needs another music player: the real competition, these days, is music recommendation – bringing users songs that they don’t know they like yet — and it’s a competition that Beats Music intends to win, at least in the US. Moving into a market like music streaming this late in the game takes guts: the entire scene lives in the hulking, radioactive shadow of Spotify, the industry leader by a wide margin. Spotify provides a killer service on PC and mobile, and if you’re going up against it, you’d better have a... Read the full article: The Algorithm is People!
