Anti-virus tools are often the culprit in such scenarios. Usually, they eat up a huge portion of CPU, and the like; for example Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is set to consume 50% of the CPU by default....

We will talk about two browsers and how you can use them depending upon the version of Android you are using, to accomplish history-free browsing....

tricks for Windows users for reducing photo size before uploading it on the web , which helps in saving bandwidth. But after I activated limited 3G data on my connection (it still costs a fortune in India) I realized that this kind of trick was more necessary on my Android than on the computer.

Before you start getting all hot and bothered, calm down! The functionality is still there – it’s just an extra tap away....

If you use Safari as your go-to browser, you need to go through a Touch ID or Face ID security check each time you want to auto-fill passwords stored in iCloud Keychain. And that can cause unnecessary delays, especially with Touch ID in particular.

It speeds up video streaming and provides smoother playback for videos with bit rates up to 200 Kbps. It works on more than 165 sites, including popular ones like YouTube, Metacafe, Vimeo and Yahoo video.

Developers on Google’s platform actually caught onto this a bit earlier. Android users were less likely to pay for apps than iOS users....

This is nothing new of course, but what developer InQBarna brings with their iPhone app Splyce definitely is refreshing.

So if you are switching from PowerPoint, let’s take a closer look at the basics of Keynote first. Right from the Theme chooser when you start Keynote, it is easy to tell that a lot of care has been put on how presentations will look.
