The new Acer C731 is priced incredibly low at $230 and for starters, comes with a U.S. MIL-STD 810G military standard build making it perfect for students.

From the wired earphones — that required a 3.5mm audio jack to offer the output, to the semi-wired (neckband) ones — that gave up on the direct (physical) connection and instead relied on Bluetooth for connectivity, to the most recent truly wireless counterparts — that do not have any piece of wire running between the buds, it has been a journey for the brands and the consumers over the past few years....

Furthermore, many smart faucets come equipped with an Infrared sensor, which turns on when they detect some movement around the Faucet.

There are hell lot of Bit-torrent clients available, but uTorrent is arguably the best torrent client amongst all. The best thing about uTorrent is the low memory footprint which enables us to carry out our normal work while the torrent is getting downloaded at the backend. But uTorrent, being an open source software has loads of configurable parameters, which have to be manually set for optimal performance. Add to this, ISP throttling is another issue which needs to be dealt with for many torrent users....

Light on glass or curving lights on carbonate In terms of design, both devices follow a broadly similar aesthetic – both have 6.3 inch displays with Gorilla Glass 5 with drop notches and backs with cameras arrayed in a vertical capsule formation with a fingerprint scanner in top central position. The biggest difference however is in terms of material used and colours – the Redmi Note 7 Pro has glass on the front and back, while the Realme 3 Pro has opted for a carbonate back....

Most task management apps and software follow a somewhat similar approach for managing projects and tasks. However, the one we are discussing here (Chaos Control) is based on what is called the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology, which is known to be effective when it comes to managing tasks.

By signing up for Google Photos, users are essentially agreeing to share gigs of data with the search engine behemoth. Switching off the backup feature effectively makes the app kaput and restricts you from using any of its intelligent tools. Of course, Google Photos is designed to take the hassle out of managing or looking through hundreds of pictures or videos. Therefore, disabling the backup and restore feature is certainly counterintuitive....

Available on the Windows Store, MINE for Facebook (yes, that is the complete name of the app) is a 1.84 MB download and installs without any hitches. Once you have logged into the app using your Facebook username and password, you get a screen with two sections – Your Personalized Feeds on the upper portion, and Notifications below them. The Personalized Feeds area has three sub-heads: Your news feed, Status and picture feed and the quaintly named Top friend link and info feed....

Google Book Downloader is a free utility that lets you download any book that’s available in “full view” from Google Books.

The application is available for Windows and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. You can either install Google Book Downloader or download a portable version which you can simply unzip and run from your hard drive or a removable disk....

We had previously seen how to jailbreak iPhone 3G on iOS 4 using redsn0w 0.9.5b5-3 on Windows, but it didn’t support iPhone 3GS. PwnageTool 4.0/4.01 supports iPhone 3GS but you must be on already pwned 4.0 Beta or 3.1.3 or lower firmwares. This means if you had used Spirit to jailbreak iPhone 3GS 3.1.3, then wait for a different release. Guide to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS with iOS 4 using PwnageTool 4....

However, as soon as you pick the digital path for information curation, the other block — a rather major one — is about the app choice. You see, there are numerous services out there, depending on the platform, which, by and large, offer you all the essential features to better manage all your information. Of these, two of the most popular services are Evernote and Notion. While Evernote is a veteran in the note-taking space, it has evolved over the years into a (somewhat) complete solution for personal information management....

The new tool called “Signal” is all set to help Journalists find out what’s trending on the social networks and also help them embed the same into their stories. This is surely a more effective way to crawl the Internet as compared to the feeds that are used by most of the Journalists.

The reason for this confusion stems from the fact that in terms of overall shape, both devices do bear more than a passing resemblance to each other. Viewed from in front, both come with almost identically sized displays (5.10 inches on the S7, 5.15 on the Mi 5), with an earpiece, camera and sensors above it; and a slightly elliptical front facing fingerprint sensor-cum-home button flanked by two touch buttons next to it....

The links shared on Google Plus are DoFollow by default. I wonder why none of the major SEO blogs have written about this. May be they are busy advising their clients how to cash in before everyone else gets to know about it. As a disclaimer, I’m not an expert (not even close) when it comes to SEO and stuff, but I do understand the basics of Page Rank flow....

The Glass Enterprise Edition 2 builds upon the previous model and introduces some improvements with customers’ feedback to help businesses improve the efficiency of their employees....

As per a recent report by Quartz, the “switch” to turn off the location services seems to fail miserably, at least in Android smartphones. The report mentions that Android software gathers data about your location and sends it back to Google once its connected to the internet. This has apparently been underway since early 2017. The gravity of the situation is further magnified since Google will have access to individuals data including their locations and movements....

The new changes introduced to the Google Photos app at the I/O developer conference today makes it a lot easier for the average users to fix their photos.
