But why stop at customizing? It’s true, a nicer aspect of the screen is a big deal, but why not go one step further and add some extra functionality to your computer? The following programs will do exactly this: customize your desktop, but also give it some extra functionality at the same time. What to point out before we move on: do not use them all at the same time because they will slow your computer down and some might not work with others, and you will just end up with errors....

If you ever wanted to watch TV anywhere in the house without using a cable, today’s article is going to tell you more about how to do that.

“Holmes, this just came in the mail.” “Any addess?” “221, Baker Street…” “Not MY address, Watson, but the address of the sender!” “Actually, none. It just says ‘from a desperate tech blog in the future!’” “Hmmm…” “What do you think that could mean?” “It is him again, Watson!” “Moriarty?” “No, idiot, he is in the past. This is a strange message from the future.” “Which allows me to deduce, Holmes, that we have one....

This pretty much has been the story of all our lives this year. Many of us were excited to make 2020 our year, travel around the world, see new places, and so on. Little did we know that even stepping outside to get groceries, let alone traveling to another country or city would feel like entering a war zone. All of us have been staying inside as much as possible to save ourselves and others from getting infected but there is still a way in which you can travel around the world....

All of these tricks are performed using a standard Bluetooth connection and by pairing the gadget with a smartphone to ensure the information recorded is transmitted accordingly or, using a pair of headsets to enjoy live feedback from the EyeRing assistant. EyeRing – What it can be used for? Without a shade of doubt, MIT’s Media Lab built EyeRing for the visually impaired people, that needed more than a stick to guide their way through life....

To put it in plain English, the vast majority of games that currently are on Facebook are asynchronous and do not require the players to be both online in the same time. And, in many situations, you don’t even need other players, you just need their help. A synchronous, multiplayer gameplay would be something similar to what we experience on our PCs or gaming consoles. A chess, soccer or Mortal Kombat game – this means both players have to be there, in the same time....

Facebook’s the second most visited website in the world but it’s not making as much money as one would expect them to. And after a failed Initial Public Offering, Zuckerberg and his colleagues are looking for inventive ways to monetize the biggest social network in the world. And these ways don’t have anything to do with advertising. Facebook looks desperate to make more money If Facebook’s previous ideas of making money didn’t make me raise eyebrows, this one does....

Update: Apple confirms it slows down older iPhones However, these accusations did not have any analytical or official base… until today. Geekbench founder, John Poole claims that Apple has been throttling your iPhone’s performance so that it doesn’t die at unusual levels.

NetApp provides storage and data management services to business and it employs around 5,000 people and topped the list due to its “employee enthusiasm for the legendary egalitarian culture,” Fortune said. Google, which topped the list for the past two years, dropped to No. 4 Google marked tenth birthday in 2008. While the company still attracts 777,000 applicants a year, hiring has slowed, and it recently cut frills like afternoon tea and an annual ski trip....

Originally discovered by Twitter user “@binoyxj”, it’s rather bewildering how the pirated content ended up on Google Play Music. One possible explanation is, of course, it has been hacked. However, that seems highly unlikely since there have been only a handful of tracks uploaded for now. My guess is this is a bug in the app. Google Play Music allows users to upload 50,000 of their own, local tracks to their personal library so that they can stream it from anywhere....

But a phone is a different beast. It is not just something that you use to make calls (its original purpose, remember) but a multi-purpose organ, an ecosystem for those who need to stay connected, a utilitarian’s ultimate dream. You can use it to keep in touch with friends, foes, and acquaintances; you can calm your nerves by listening to lilting music; you can play games on it; you can watch films on it; you can record your thoughts on it; you can even draw on some phones; you can stalk people on it (we are all voyeurs); and depending on the app and accessory used, it also checks your blood pressure....
