YouTube is choc-a-bloc filled with videos and many channels which are educational in their theme. So, where does TED-Ed fit in? TED-Ed value, probably, lies in the fact that it is much more carefully curated than YouTube. TED-Ed is a platform for quality videos and a meeting place of great educators and cool designers who can bring the lessons to life. But more than that, TED-Ed allows any teacher to come to the learning website and use the videos to create customized lesson plans around the videos....

There are thousand and one ways to create checklists including the manual approach. But why go completely manual when you have Microsoft Word sitting on your computer. It is a few minutes work to create a neat checklist in MS Word (I will be using MS Word 2010 here). The other advantage is that you can check and uncheck items on the checklist you create here. Then, you may want to create a printable sheet and put it up on the refrigerator door....

While the added advantage of that extra taskbar space prevails, when it is in the system tray it takes an extra click to bring it up. Here’s how you can change this behavior so that the player minimizes to the taskbar instead. Step 1: Open KMPlayer and navigate to the Preferences window. You can simply use the keyboard shortcut F2 for that. Henceforth, whenever you minimize the KMPlayer it will go to the Windows taskbar instead of residing in the system tray....

I use either of these randomly but with two exceptions. Cool Tip: PalyLink is a beautiful Firefox add-on that makes your desktop media players capable of playing any online video. Give it a try. The YouTube search feature was introduced in KM Player, version 3.4 onwards. So, the steps here will work in ver 3.4 and above. Step 1: Launch the player interface. On its top-right you would find a search icon as highlighted in the image below....

Compare this to Windows and you need to spend a couple of minutes for every install. You need to press “Next” a couple of times, sign agreements, specify the type of installation you want and stay on high alert during the entire installation process so the app doesn’t install any sneaky malware/adware/toolbars/unwanted programs. Some installs even make you close all running apps meaning during that process your computer is basically unusable....

No, these are way more sinister. I found pop-ups that told me my phone needed to be cleaned/scanned. And they loaded over the current torrent website. That means I just lost the page I was in....

If you run a custom ROM then you must have tried installing a theme. I’ve tried it countless times in the past 3 years but I just couldn’t stand them. None of them were exquisite, some being downright terrible. A lot of it was due to the tools the designers had. That’s changed now. CM rewrote their whole Theme Engine recently and if you’re running the latest CM 11 ROM or other ROMs that integrate CM’s Theme Engine (like Carbon, Liquid Smooth, PAC, C-Rom etc), you already have it preinstalled....

Is it a bed? Or a Smart Furniture? It’s an Entertainment Unit! No. Wait for it! It’s something more.
