This round, black and silver smart watch features a silicone strap and copper casing. Best of all, it can serve as both a watch and a mobile phone thanks to a built-in SIM card slot. There is even room for an SD card if you need more space. What’s in the Box Before getting into its features, let’s take a quick look at what you get inside the box....
Download and Installation You can download the ISO image from the Linux Mint site. Depending on your system architecture, you can download either the 32 or 64 bit version. The installation is pretty straightforward. Except for the graphical difference, the installation process is exactly the same as Ubuntu. Once the installation is completed, reboot the system. The first to greet you after the bootup is the MDM login screen. The advantage of MDM over LightDM (the login manager used by Ubuntu) is that MDM is more customizable and since it is compatible with GDM themes, there are tons of beautiful themes that you can find online....
The great news that Apple announced during the launch of OS X Mavericks was that iBooks would be offered in the new OS. This meant that we book-lovers wouldn’t have to use to an iOS device to use Voice Over to get a book read aloud to us. If you’re on a Mac, it’s now very easy to have the system read the book out aloud with minimal fuss. To see exactly how easy it is to get up and running with this kind of functionality, why not open up iBooks and try it for yourself?...

On the other side, the convenience of digital music raises another problem: digital file management. Take a peek into your music collection, how many files have their names and information right? Maybe it’s far less than a half. If your collection consists of less than a hundred MP3s, the process of tidying up the wrong names would be a breeze. But everybody I know has thousands of tunes in their library....
Announced on March 13, the developers at MS have taken a little time to demonstrate the power of the new screen, which gives you a much more natural feeling. You won’t really know what I mean, though, until you’ve had a look at their demo video: This kind of innovation can potentially make Microsoft once again the leader in touchscreen technology. Their recent emphasis on natural user interfaces (NUIs) has sparked a new generation of computers....
What Is a Collection? If you have ever wanted to keep track of ideas while browsing the Web, bookmarks can quickly become a black hole of links you can easily forget. While Collections are similar to bookmarks in some way, a collection is more geared toward keeping track of ideas on the Web. That’s especially true if you are shopping, collecting notes for research, planning a trip, etc. Collections sync across all of your Edge devices including various computers as well as Android or iOS versions of the Edge browser....
Using Conditionals If you remember the script we wrote last time, it ran a series of commands that used Pandoc to generate four versions of a Markdown document (in each of HTML, DOCX, ODT, and ePub). But this was all or nothing… either we used Pandoc itself to make them one at a time, or else all of them. What if we wanted to pick and choose? This is simple using Conditionals, which are basically “if X is this, then do this” statements....
Installation Mp3blaster should be in most repositories. If you prefer to install by terminal (and most Mp3blaster users will!) and are using Debian or Ubuntu, enter: For Fedora, Red Hat, or CentOS systems, enter: And for Arch or Arch-based distros like Manjaro, enter: Once installed, start the application with the command: Getting Started Just after opening Mp3blaster, its main window will be empty, as it’s in playlist mode without any added songs....
If you’ve just switched to Linux and are looking for a Notepad++ alternative, you’ll be glad to know that one exists called Notepadqq. What’s more, its user interface as well as feature set are also similar (if not exact) to Notepad++. In this article we will discuss how to install and use Notepadqq. Note: all the instructions and commands mentioned in this article have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04....
Navigating to a website, I got that familiar screen telling me to view it with FlashPlayer. It’s almost a little like pouring salt in a wound, as if I could, I obviously would. Nevertheless, it’s what needs to be done. But instead of installing FlashPlayer, which simply cannot be done in iOS, I launch the Photon browser. I navigate to the same website, then push the lightning bolt icon in the toolbar....

Other technologies exist that are much simpler and more efficient. Today we’ll be setting up Breezy, which is compatible with Windows, as well as iOS and Android. Setup Before you can go off and print from your Nexus 7 while in a hotel room, you will need to prepare everything at the home-end, where your printer resides. Head to the Breezy web site and download a little app called “Personal Connector”....
Most people would not leave the door to their house unlocked 24/7. Neither would they leave the keys in their car, or wear a t-shirt with their social security number stamped on the front. But, when people leave their phones almost entirely unprotected from hackers and dangerous software, they are basically doing all of these things with their personal information. Unfortunately, most devices do not come with a brief introduction to cyber security....
This is a sponsored article and was made possible by Qoob Stories. The actual contents and opinions are the sole views of the author who maintains editorial independence even when a post is sponsored. Overview of Features I recently had the opportunity to test out Qoob Stories myself. I’d never tried out an Instagram download tool and wasn’t really sure what to expect. Now it will be hard to go back to the Instagram app....
The Snapdragon 782G appears to be both a direct replacement for, and a subtle revamp of, the Snapdragon 778G from last year. This perhaps explains why the announcement of the chip has been so low key. Qualcomm has issued a simple press release on the product page of its website, rather than announcing the chip at its glossy annual 5G summit held earlier in the year like the previous chip....
While it has options for almost all the functions on your device, it lacks a few of them dealing with the Settings. You can’t enable or disable WiFi, Bluetooth, or change any other settings without heading to the menu, tapping Settings and then finding the option that you want to activate or deactivate, though it can be done from the notification bar if your device has it. In order to add the aforementioned functionality to your homescreen, an Android developer has come up with an app called Power Toggles....
MacFly Pro manages storage space on your Mac by scanning for and deleting unnecessary files. It has two main thrusts. The first and best feature, “System,” scans for unneeded system files. The second, “Big Files,” scans for large user files, isolating storage hogs and giving you the opportunity to delete them. While a lot of applications claim to offer this power, MacFly Pro does it better than most. Like many disk and storage optimization programs, MacFly Pro seems like it isn’t for power users....
In times likes these, you may be wondering the best way to recover your network password without having to reset your router. If you’re using Windows, here is an easy way for you to find out your existing network password. You see that Network icon in your Windows taskbar? You’ll need to right-click on that and click on “Open Network and Sharing Center.” In the Control Panel window that opens up, click on “Change adapter settings” in the left column....
For a variety of reasons, the Linux command line has a reputation for being difficult and unwieldy. In some cases, that’s true. But a script called ripit turns the command line into an excellent and deceptively simple environment for ripping CDs. Let’s take a look at how ripit works. ripit? ripit isn’t a program. It’s a Perl script that acts as an interface to a number of command line CD utilities including dagrab, cdparanoia, and cdda2wav....
