Cool Tip: Don’t forget to check out our review of two of the best RPG games for iOS....

On the other side of the spectrum, there are those who prefer to have the least number of apps possible, so as to save time when taking care of their productivity stuff. If you identify with the latter group, then read on as we will take a look at Acompli, a really cool iPhone productivity app that serves as an email app, calendar, file manager and more.

Cause and Effect The way this platform will work is quite simple. If a user who has Adblock Plus installed visits a website, only the whitelisted ads will be displayed for him, rather than all the ads. The whitelisting part will be the domain of an ‘independent committee that will take control of the Acceptable Ads initiative’, making the process transparent. This platform is part of the marketplace that Adblock has been running since 2011, and their operations and communications director, Ben Williams, observed – But even since 2011, the program has not had the best effect....

Without taking much of your time, and without interfering with your excitement, let us have a quick dive in Metro UI and see for ourselves what’s new! The Welcome Screen When I booted the developer edition of Windows 8 for the very first time I was puzzled for a while.

No matter how controversial or doubtful it may be, this technological advancement towards smarter artificial intelligence is pretty much the present and definitely the future of mankind. With the rise of new tools such as deep learning, machine learning, reinforced learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, and Bayesian network, the world of computing and machine-driven manufacturing is changing the world as we know it. In such a time when the future of humanity is uncertain with the development of machines more intelligent than ourselves, we must at least have a clear understanding of what’s going to change our world in the near future....

So until we see a breakthrough from the hardware industry, the software developers are putting their best efforts towards getting the most out of what’s available.

LeanDroid for Android LeanDroid is a simple battery saving app that takes care of your Wi-Fi and mobile data while you are not using the phone....

Now, Koushik Dutta, the creator of ClockworkMod recovery (the recovery of my choice) has updated his Helium backup app. This update makes it really easy to back up app data (and not the app itself) using just your Android phone. First, you need to enable debugging and connect the phone to a PC/Mac/Linux machine (there’s also a Chrome extension) so it can run some code that enables backup features. But once that’s done, you don’t need to be tethered to the PC....

In this post, we will compare both the Blink Outdoor and the Wyze Cam Outdoor to find which outdoor security camera is the one for you....

personal hotspot can be an extremely convenient feature to have, especially if you travel or visit cafes frequently, or if you don’t have a stable connection at home. Using it provides any of your devices (including Macs, Windows PCs and other devices from the iOS family) with an internet connection even on places where there is none, since your iPhone will in fact be sharing its own cellular connection (additional charges may apply)....

On the other hand, the Beats Powerbeats3 earphones are not only popular, but they’ve also enjoyed a far longer run in the earphone market having debuted in 2016. So, what makes the Powerbeats3 headphones different from the Bose SoundSport Free earbuds? Is it only the design, or is the dissimilarity far greater than that? In this post, we explore the three key differences between these two earphones to help you make an informed decision....

One chafing thing about the tool was that all the images you wish to resize should be available in the same folder. A user cannot mix and match photos from different folders in the same batch.

Don’t let its weird name fool you, the tool has some interesting features....

As new apps are developed for Jelly Bean, we can see apps using this feature and giving out almost all the details in the notification drawer. However, with such a limited real estate in there, one might get annoyed of the overwhelming notifications and would only want to keep those that are essential. Google has not only improved the notification drawer but also included the future to control the apps that can use the drawer to push messages....

Note: For the article I will be taking up how to transfer files between Android and iOS, but the same methods can be adapted for any of the supported devices....

Virtual Reality was the next big thing and Facebook wanted to be at the forefront of it. He implored his followers to imagine a new world, by stating – It seemed a goal too hard to reach. But it looks like this might soon turn to reality. We got a taste of it at the Oculus Connect event and as creepy as it might seem, we might just be interacting with each other more and more in the virtual world....

Digital images are a thing of the present, they haven’t been around for much long. As far as millennials and the generations before that go, most of our memories are stored in form of printed photos, occupying dozens of photo albums and some space in our homes. You must have tried photographing your old printed photos with your phone’s camera, but more often than not, would’ve been hindered by that unflinching glare....
