The burst mode, high-res front cameras on our smartphone have spoiled us to the point where we barely even care about the quality of photos we take using them. In the beginning you won’t notice anything, but eventually, there will come a time when you will run out of space on the device’s memory card. When the day arrives for Android users, remember the name Gallery Doctor. This app can help you clean your gallery in the easiest way possible....

And if you opt for a wrong choice, the process of transferring all your notes from one platform to another can be a headache. In past, we have already compared Google Keep with its rivals. In this post, we will pit Apple’s Notes app against Microsoft OneNote to see how they fare against each other. App Size All Apple’s applications come pre-installed and take up about 11GB of space including the operating system....

When I first set it up, I was playing around with the user interface just to see what I like and what I’d probably have to get used to. I love how spinning the digital crown feels. Apple added the perfect amount of resistance so it’s not too slippery and not too stiff. I also think Force Touch feels very natural for navigating the on screen UI, even more so than 3D Touch on the iPhone....

Nixplay is a popular name in digital photos primarily for its mix of good features to the price ratio. On the other hand, Aura is known more for its chic photo frames and sharp photo quality. However, the prices of the Aura Carver and the Nixplay Smart Photo are quite different, and hence it brings us to an important question—which digital picture frame is better? Well, that is what we will find in this post today, as we compare the Aura Carver against the Nixplay Smart Photo frame and see which is the better fit for your needs....

Things are different today and our contacts are backed up online. But is it foolproof? Though we can rely and trust on services like Outlook, Gmail and Yahoo, we are uncertain on being hit by bad luck. In case of some malfunction (or any other reason), we could end up losing all the contact details (email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) that we have stored on their servers. So, if you are borderline paranoid like me, you would always create a backup of your contacts and have them stored on your hard drive....

Creating a great mockup is one of the most important steps because these mockups or wireframes help the client understand how a proposed idea will look like in the end. Not too long ago web/app developers had to rely on Not too long ago web/app developers had to rely on MS Powerpoint or MS Word alone. Thankfully, times have changed and there are a lot of better and evolved wireframe and mockup tools now....

Be it a direct message on Twitter or someone tagging me on a post, they never miss anything. Though some may find these notifications useful, to someone like me who already gets bombarded with tons of new mails daily, the notifications are like a pile of waste hogging unnecessary space in my email. Though these services provide a way to stop these notifications emails through their account setting’s page, it isn’t always easy to figure out where those settings are....

multiple email accounts is far from uncommon these days. Not all of them are necessarily important but you still need to check them now and then, and deal with the incoming mails. The phrase to note here is ‘now and then.’ Right, not all the time. May be only the main one all the time, but no, not all the email accounts all the time. This is why it becomes to important to control email sync and notifications, especially when all of those accounts are connected to a device like a smartphone (a good way to save on data plans too)....

Some of the commands available are useful – for example, if you want to check your browser’s history [chrome://history], all the extensions that are installed [chrome://extensions], or a detailed examination of the memory usage [chrome://memory]. An interesting feature is chrome://flags. It takes you to a page full of experimental Chrome features. But heed the warning which says – “Careful, these experiments may bite.” These experimental features are unofficial, so go through them and use them at your own risk....

Whether you’re looking for a completely incognito mode (like with guest browsing) or simply another profile for your guests to use, read on below to find out how either method is performed. We’ll also look at creating a shortcut directly to a specific Chrome user profile. You can add this shortcut to your desktop for an easy way for guests to open a unique browser for their visit.

And Microsoft has not limited the feature to just the modern UI. It is planning to extend it to some of the essential desktop based applications. Microsoft Office, the second most popular product from Microsoft after Windows will have the feature to switch between desktop and modern user interface in the upcoming Office 2013 release. In fact, the said feature has already been debuted in the Office Customer Preview. So let’s see how to enable the touch optimized interface on Office 2013 while working on tablet PCs....

The sudden trigger in work from home shift has spiked the demand in accessories such as microphones, speakers, webcams, laptop stand, wireless headphones, and more. Most of them are either out of stock or costing 2x/3x from the original price. The ones in stock have more than two weeks of delivery time, which is not ideal for the end-user. Among all the hardware products, you can replace the webcam and microphone with your smartphone using apps and services such as EpocCam, iVCam, DroidCam, and iCam....

Both the apps cover almost all the aspects that you’d expect from a file manager app. So, it seems only fair that we pit both the apps against each other and see which one comes out as a winner. 1. Design and Style When it comes to the design, Solid Explorer is based on Google’s Material Design, which makes the app easy on the eyes. To add to it, the left slide-out menu makes navigation a no-sweat affair....

Events and social networks go hand in hand. We have been using it on Facebook and there are other sites too to help you with them. But Google brings its own touch and creativity to all the products it launches, and Google+ Events is no different. It has some cool features that add a whole new dimension to the often boring process of creating events and collating after-event data like photos etc....

Firefox, an age-old Chrome rival, is making headlines with a brand-new browser on Android with a redesigned UI, private functions, and features. On the other hand, Google Chrome enjoys the benefit of default status and tight integration in the Google ecosystem. In this post, we are going to compare the new Firefox browser to Google Chrome. The comparison will cover User Interface, web engine, features, cross-platform availability, syncing, and more....

A simple power recycle solves most of the Windows errors, but this was not one of them. The Modern PC setting was quite important to me as it was the only way I could pair the Bluetooth device to the computer. I decided to hunt for a fix online. After searching through various forums I was able to fix the settings. So, here’s a documentation that’s easy to understand and that you can follow to fix similar issues you might be facing....

One suchfeature is the “Swivel View”, which was recently introduced and brought to notice by the official Google Photos blog. Swiveling is the ability to rotate a photo (which is actually a combination of photos, as explained below) by 360 degrees by simply dragging it left or right. The photo does a full circle showing all the angles. You can get a feel of swivel viewing on the original ‘swivel-viewer’ project page (click on the image): Generally speaking, creating an actual 360 degree view effect requires you to snap photos of the same object from numerous closely spaced angles, arrange them all together in proper order and queue them in a fast slideshow mode....
