There are many valid and legal reasons one might have to feel the need to download Windows 7. For instance, you might be needed to reinstall or recover Windows 7 but not find the original Windows 7 setup DVD, or your netbook doesn’t come with a DVD drive. In such cases, downloading Windows 7 should help you out, assuming you have bought a legal and valid key from Microsoft. A few days back, we had told you about an option to get the Windows 7 DVD from retail stores or download Windows 7 ISO directly from its servers online....

Microsoft has just released the RC version of the upcoming Windows 7 SP1. The version, windows6.1-KB976932, has been officially released, and this may have been done because of the innumerable leaks on the web. The Windows 7 Service Pack 1 will provide several enhancements to Windows 7 including Remote FX, Dynamic memory and many incremental updates to the platform. It includes previous updates delivered over Windows Update as well as continuing incremental updates to the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 platforms....

Many of us use our phones for navigation, but everything gets messed up when we receive a call. That’s why I’m sure you’ll welcome the introduction of new app Drivemode on the Google Play Store. The aim of the new app is to let you continue using your phone while not endangering your safety during your car trips. Drivemode lets you easily answer and make calls without blocking your navigation, and you can also control your music with a simple swipe and tap....

It was launched right alongside the latest Apple MacBook, where it was heavily needed to accommodate its slim body, of just 13.1 mm in the point where it’s thickest. Therefore, any other connector was not compatible with the tablet, which is why USB Type-C came right in time. The standard was also adopted a few days later by Google, with their latest Chromebook Pixel. Although this was the main reason to create it, the USB-C became much bigger than that....

The term was initially populated in the book named Applied Imagination written by Alex Faickney Osborn in 1963. Since then, brainstorming became more and more appreciated by people and industries all-together. This is why many software companies started to create apps and programs that allow users to brainstorm whenever and wherever they want to. With such a big amount of applications and computer softwares invading the market nowadays, we find it essential to identify the best ones....

As you’d expect, the dashboard will offer insights on how much you’ve used the apps over the course of a week through neatly produced charts. You can tap on any specific bar to learn the exact amount. In addition, the apps now allow you to set up usage reminders and send a notification as soon as you exhaust your daily time allowance. You can, of course, continue to browse by simply dismissing the alert....

Although users can use just about any picture they want as a cover photo, most of the time, they will search for something that suits their moods or something that just looks awesome. And we’ve seen some awesome Facebook covers from inspired users, but for those who want the easy way out, or who do not possess the skills to modify photos in a professional program, there is a solution, and today we’ll be talking about it....

Steps to Recreate Facebook Profile Picture Hack All I did was, just followed these simple steps which Stravock clearly explains in the video. Note that I hardly know the ABC (or PHO) of Photoshop. It’s really simple and would take 15-20 minutes of your time. Take a screenshot of your current Facebook page. Create a new Photoshop doc. Grab the Slice tool (same family as the Crop tool) and select around the pictures....

It seems that Facebook is focusing these days on bringing even more features to Facebook Messenger, as we’ve recently talked about the new Message Requests feature which replaces the ‘others’ folder. The new feature doesn’t even imply that you have to upload your photos, as all is being done locally. This is a bit intrusive, indeed, as Facebook is no longer online-only, but it’s reaching its hands to your offline files, as well....

But besides these major news, Apple will obviously come up with other interesting new features and products, such as company’s HomeKit initiative. Introduced with the launch of iOS 8, HomeKit is a framework for communicating with and controlling connected accessories in a user’s home, as Apple informs. It seems that it took Apple more than a year to finally be able to partner with manufacturers for the sale of the first products which support Apple HomeKit....

Fitbit Sense The all-new Fitbit Sense is claimed to be the company’s most advanced health monitoring smartwatch. In addition, the company also suggests that it is the world’s first smartwatch to come with an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor, which helps in measuring the electrical changes on the skin to determine various aspects of a user’s health. The smartwatch, combined with the in-app utility, can help users get an idea about their physical and mental stress, which can, in turn, help them in better managing the stress....

1. New Phone Every Month Well, to be frank, I was skeptical of the monthly update and it seemed so much similar to what Nexus and the Cyanogen OS already get. But the thing is that updates for Fuel OS are much more than just security updates or bug fixes. They try to involve the users and use the interaction for the updates. Believe me, every time my Nexus 5X gets updated I rarely succeed in figuring out the changelog....

Here is a quick heads up on a way to get Half-Life 2 games for free! For a limited time (it’s been going on for more than an year now!), all ATI customers may receive a free copy of Half-Life 2 Lost Coast and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch by creating a Steam account! Very easy, as all you need to do is go to this URL and click the button to get the games....

The A1 Plus is all about being muscular and doesn’t even remotely make an attempt to be skinny or slim. Weighing a good 226 grams and 9.1 mm thick, the phone has a very premium look and feel to it, thanks to its metal unibody design. The big fella is hefty, but the rounded edges and frame plus the slightly curved back is an attempt to help one handle the phone better – the back of the phone is a tad slippery, and the heftiness would want to shake hands with gravity all the time....

According to a post by Google, their newest flagship, the Pixel 3 will soon expand eSIM support for more carriers across different countries. A December update, that rolled-out yesterday, will extend eSIM support for Sprint in the US, EE in the UK, Airtel and Reliance Jio in India, and Truphone and Gigsky in various countries. In addition to that, users in Germany will soon be able to get a Pixel 3 running eSIM from Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone, which are expected to tie-up with Google-Fi on this soon....

The new Home Mini also features four LEDs on the top for notifying you about stuff. In addition to that, it recognizes taps for playing/pausing music, snoozing reminders and a lot more. With the Home Mini, Google also debuts Voice Models. They are essentially representations of your voice’s characteristics that help the smart speaker to differentiate between various people. Voice calling is present as well, and you can use your phone number once verified....

The essence of the application lies in a machine learning algorithm which recognizes various paragraphs and images and lets users drag and down those sections to a document editor. Once the scanned article has been set up in the editor, one can just press the publish button and have it go online in a matter of seconds. In addition, Google says Navlekha can function offline and users can upload the content whenever they have a connection....

Here, we try to answer all these questions, by pointing to different resources around the web. What is Google Instant? Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. It uses Google’s autocomplete technology to show predicted search terms in a drop-down box, and begins to display search results below the drop-down. They say it’s going to transform search forever—making it faster, better, stronger. As Gizmodo says, Google Instant is nothing but predictive search which will show a range of possible queries in grey to refine your options, all before you ever hit the “Search” button....

For a handful of people who are unaware of Project Fi, here’s a small description of the service from Google- Project Fi is an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) by Google, which essentially provides phone and data services using Wi-Fi and cellular network. These networks usually belong to either Sprint, T Mobile, Three and some other US network providers. The most distinctive features of Fi service include – its ability to switch networks automatically depending on the signal and strength, and the ability to switch different Wi-Fi hotspots while providing data encryption using VPNs....

While the new version of Android brings with it a handful of new features, the update is largely aimed at ironing out the bugs and provide other improvements. With Android M, Google is “going back to the basics,” focusing on polish and quality, the company said. Among the new features, the new version of Android will give users better control over app permissions, “you don’t have to agree to permissions that don’t make sense to you....
