However, I use MS Word 2007 where the ruler unit is in inches by default (refer the image below). And somehow I am not comfortable with the inches scale. So, I considered changing the units to Centimeters. If you have similar intent, follow the two steps elaborated below:- Step 1: Open MS Word and navigate to File -> Word Options. That’s it. You now have a ruler showing the unit that you find easy to work with....
However, every time you open Google Calendar, you are presented the calendar with the month view. But, say for example, you would like to work with your calendar in week view or something that suits your preference (like I have 4 weeks in the above image which by default contained the 4 day view). How do you tweak these settings so that you do not have to put in a manual effort in switching the view each time you log in?...
One trick to help you accomplish such a setting is to create hidden profiles and use them secretly. An even better way would be to use private browsing mode. Today we intend to make the process of clearing browsing data simpler. The spin is to clear such data automatically when you close your browser, be it Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. It’s a useful trick because people usually don’t forget quitting the browser when they are using it on some other computer other than their own....
I use MS Outlook as my email client and the way its mail alert system works helps me stay on top of my emails. At a glance, I get to know the zest of the message and can decide on what to do with it. However, at times I have lost focus from important tasks because of not so important emails. So, I considered deactivating the default mail alert feature and creating personalized rules/alerts for certain types of messages (considering things like sender, subject etc....
Some of them have a command (or alias) associated with them and it is the matter of knowing it. For example, if you have Adobe Reader installed on your computer, you can launch the same by hitting Win + R and then keying AcroRd32 (could vary depending on installation pack). Difficult command to remember though. Interestingly, Windows has the capability to allow you to modify these commands and replace them with an easy to remember alias....
Today I am going to talk about a pretty useful app called SHAREit, which can easily transfer media between Android, iOS, and Windows. The files are transferred over Wi-Fi fairly quickly when compared to Bluetooth and Airdrop. So let’s have a look at how to use the application to facilitate the transfer. Note: For the article I will be taking up how to transfer files between Android and iOS, but the same methods can be adapted for any of the supported devices....
Evernote is known all throughout the web for being an app where you can store literally all kinds of information, providing a really all-in-one solution for those who like to record everything for later reference of simply for fun. It is just because of this breadth though, that the main apps of Evernote can be too much for some specific tasks, including recording all your food memories. This is where Evernote Food for iOS comes in....
As we gear up for the glory of club football, FUT fans should keep a look at the team of the week which features Ronaldo and Neymar leading the charge for the playing XI. Ronaldo for Portugal in their 3-0 win against Hungary and Neymar for Brazil in their 3-0 win against Paraguay. Podolski has been added to the attacking fold too, following his stunner in his last match for Germany, against England....
software updates . Since the release of iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 though, owners of Apple’s latest smartphone have experienced some Wi-Fi issues that, as expected, were mostly solved with subsequent iOS updates. However, despite now being on iOS 6.1, there is a quite strange issue that several iPhone 5 owners are still having trouble with: Wi-Fi performance seems to be OK for almost everything, EXCEPT when it comes to downloading apps from the App Store....
The OnePlus 5 Reading Mode does a bit more than just optimizing the display. Here, you can set individual apps for this feature. So that whenever you open those particular apps, the reading mode would kick in automatically. The good news is, you can have the OnePlus 5-like reading mode on any Android phone (minus the individual app feature) by just tweaking the settings a bit. As we always emphasize, the world of Android is huge and a majority of the time, the tweaks are hidden or tucked away in faraway corners....
Sony’s Stamina Mode does the same thing, but one great feature about it is that it lets you whitelist the apps that can access the data periodically to get notifications. An intelligent way to make the phone useful and long-lasting at the same time. Did you know: The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Google has a separate research team working to improve the battery tech of today. Yep, everyone’s working to solve the battery puzzle....
alternatives to the native maps app that could provide better performance and experience overall. In the meantime, Google started developing its own maps app that could get it back to Apple’s iOS devices. That app is now live on the App Store and ready for anyone to download and use right away. However, despite the great effort behind this app, Google put design over usability in more than one aspect of it, making it not that obvious to figure out exactly what to do in order to use some of its most important features....
In my last article, while I was talking about all the new features, it felt that I didn’t do justice to the new battery management module in the iOS 9. The feature includes a Low Power Mode feature which thrives to extend the battery’s juice when you desperately need it along the graph which shows how apps are using power on your device. The feature has been there is other mobile OS like Android and Windows for years now and was long overdue on iOS....

Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts media, document and other files on the target device and access to those files is only granted once the attacker’s ransom demands are met. Currently, there are two types of ransomware — one which locks certain files on a computer and other which locks the entire system. The latter is mostly found on smartphones. Although early cases of ransomware date back to 2005, its threat on smartphones is quite recent....
The V20 is a considerable upgrade over its predecessor, the V10. Both the devices come with the same 32 and 64GB variants, 4GB RAM, same display units — both primary and secondary — but the V20 is lighter and slimmer than its predecessor. Here we take a look at five more features where the V20 comes out on top. A Snappier Chipset The new device by LG comes with a Snapdragon 820 SOC which clocks at 2....
I was a vivid user of the same for almost a couple of months before unboxing the new Honor 9 that arrived at our office a few weeks ago. From the moment I laid my hands on it, it was love at first sight. If you ask me, Honor 9 is truly a work of art and it’s tough not to fall for it. Also, when you look at the comparison between the prices and the specifications, the Honor 9 can very well contend the OnePlus 5....
So, it’s only fair that we pit both the fitness bands against each other. You can discover the salient features and functions to decide which one is more suitable for you. Design and Fit Let’s start with the design of the Xiaomi Mi Band 4. Similar to its predecessor, the Mi Band 4 has a rounded design. The panel sits lengthways along the wrist. You can easily change the panel if you want to pair a few colorful straps....
There are two ways to go about it. First, you can either tweak and modify the existing watch faces. For instance, you can add a photo from your phone’s gallery to add a personal touch to your watch. Or, you can install a third-party app like Facer to add custom watch faces to your Apple Watch. At the same time, you can tweak the complications as per your preference. For those unaware, complications are the little information on the watch face....
On 28th June, Google unveiled its new service named Google Takeout to address the above problem. Google Takeout is a free service by Google that allows you to download a copy of your data stored within Google products on your local computer, in form of an archive. Takeout is the first product from Google’s Data Liberation Front team, an engineering group tasked with the goal of making it – in their own words – easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products....
