| 5 Sources To View Digitized Historical Collections Posted: 15 Dec 2014 08:30 PM PST  In the pre-Internet days, if you wanted to see a historical collection (if it was freely available to the public — including the ones which are radioactive), then you had to travel to where the collection was located, and view it in person. But now that we are in the Brave New World of the Internet, everything is now slowly being digitized, so that anyone with a decent Internet collection can view them. Seeing these collections up close and personal enables you to take a peek inside that person’s life and mind, and see their thoughts and reasoning. It can be...

| Why Do You Procrastinate? School Of Life Looks At This And More [Stuff To Watch] Posted: 15 Dec 2014 05:30 PM PST  Though we’re conditioned through a seemingly-endless process of education, many of us never feel truly “ready” for life. That’s probably because the things that flummox us the most aren’t taught in school. The Internet has taken on the role of Agony Aunt for a whole generation, and in the wake of organisations like The School of Life exist to examine some of the existential, practical and introspective issues that plague modern society. The Curriculum Many of The School of Life’s uploads go towards creating what the channel has dubbed The Curriculum, an assembly of topics around which the most important thinkers and ideas relating to that field are...

| Australia’s Twitter Win Against Islamophobia: How To Use #illridewithyou Posted: 15 Dec 2014 12:00 PM PST  Twitter’s top trending hashtag worldwide, #illridewithyou, shows how social networks can be a force for good. Australian samaritans are using the hashtag to lend support to Muslim citizens on their daily commute, in case of a racist attack. What’s #illridewithyou All About? A gunman took dozens of hostages in a cafe in Sydney, Australia, on Monday, December 15. He was presumed to be an Islamic extremist, after he asked for a flag of ISIS among his demands. While the gunman’s actions are clearly to be condemned, innocent Muslims – particularly those who wear traditional garb – were afraid of hateful speech...

| Watching Offline Movies From Google Play? You CAN Do That On A Chromebook! Posted: 15 Dec 2014 10:00 AM PST  It used to be that Google’s Chromebooks were widely condemned as glorified browsers, with little offline capability and no chance of becoming widely adopted by consumers and businesses. Things have changed, however, and a steady stream of both operating system updates and new Chromebook machines over the last eighteen months have seen the devices become more useful than ever. Barely a week now goes by without news of another school, government organisation or start-up company making the Chromebook their computer of choice, yet still the machine fights against a tide of opinion that deems it unusable, useless, and poorly equipped....

Fortunately, with today’s phones, it’s easier than ever.

| Netflix Vs Cable Companies – Who Is More Likely To Win? Posted: 15 Dec 2014 04:00 AM PST  Netflix has had a good couple of years. Their original content, like Arrested Development and the Kevin Spacey-powered, hit political thriller House of Cards, have been enormously well received. When they hiked their rates a full dollar to $8.99 a month, people were more than happy to pay it. Netflix is a great service, and has been doing well as a result. As of right now, more than one third of all the data transmitted over the internet during peak usage is Netflix, and that figure is growing steadily. Between them, Netflix and Youtube alone comprise more than half of the internet... Read the full article: Netflix Vs Cable Companies – Who Is More Likely To Win?  |
