Apart from these Office apps, they have launched other several Android apps that are dubbed under the name ‘Microsoft Garage Projects’. So, let’s see today some of these Garage projects by Microsoft that very few people know of and are worth trying. Let’s dig in. 1. Hub Keyboard Few days back Microsoft released its first Keyboard on Android called the Hub keyboard. It has nothing to do with Microsoft Hub....
It could be a simple sync error or maybe the notebook in question was closed and no longer available. Part of the problem is that Microsoft has multiple versions of OneNote, making it difficult to keep track of things or even troubleshoot problems like these. Let’s begin. 1. Open Closed Notebook You can close a notebook in OneNote to declutter the interface. Closed notebooks disappear from view, not existence, and maybe that’s why you cannot view them....
You can now create a FaceTime call link, share a screen using FaceTime, listen to music and watch TV shows with SharePlay, and your friends from Android or Windows can also join a FaceTime call. All of these features are worthless if you can’t connect FaceTime call in the first place. Let’s troubleshoot the issue. 1. Connect to Wi-Fi FaceTime requires a high-speed internet connection for a flawless video call....
The Avengers Infinity War is directed by Joe & Anthony Russo and this movie, with its brilliant star cast, might possibly follow the events after the Ragnarok title. The movie is set to be released in May 2018 and, until then, going by the Marvel’s standards, it doesn’t seem that the hype is going to die anytime soon. Keeping up with the hype machine, we have curated some of the best Avengers Infinity War wallpapers....
iOS 10 will include nine new iMessage bubble effects. Four affect just the bubble and five fill the entire screen.

Slam The Slam effect aggressively plops your message on screen and even shakes the previous conversation bubbles for effect....

This section within the Editor’s Choice category will feature 16 of the best apps and games from the Play Store and it will be refreshed every three months. “We’ve seen a significant increase in the level of polish and quality of apps and games on Google Play....
Talking about Note-taking apps, my on-the-go recommendation has been Evernote for the last few years. But the recent departure of their CEO coupled with the questionable policies by the company has forced me to look for an alternative. For the Apple ecosystem, my search has narrowed down to two options — Apple Notes, and Bear Notes. Both the apps are laser-focused on Apple products and deliver solid experience across the entire lineup of devices....
Cloud storage solution providers such as Dropbox and Box are providing word-processing software such as Dropbox Paper and Box Notes for seamless sharing and collaboration. Newcomers such as Notion, Coda, and Airtable are trying to change the game with modular approach, but nothing beats a native experience. Microsoft is steadily improving Word experience with more features. Recently, Apple pushed a big update to iWork apps, including Apple Pages. Google is slow in this regard, but it’s getting there with small additions....
New (Albeit Bold) Segment To look at why Apple might do something so drastic, we need only to look back at the history of this iconic brand. They started out of a garage, with Steves Job & Wozniak, trying to build computers. They made some good computers, made them smaller and cooler. But computing was their forte, their core business and what they were good at. So, imagine this company talking about an MP3 player....
Android app called Llama using which you can automate profiles and many other things on your phone based upon your location. There was also an option to control certain aspects of phone like network, radio, display based upon events. Undoubtedly Llama is a great way to automate many tasks on an Android phone but there is no way a user can share his creative automations with another user. Moreover, the app was a bit complicated for an average Android user when talking about ease of access and configuration....

You can browse the web using Chrome in three ways — normal browsing with different user profiles, Incognito, and Guest modes. In the first case, you can create different profiles, and each will have its data — extensions, bookmarks, passwords, and more. The browsing activity will be separate for each user, and it stays even when you exit the browser. Both Incognito and Guest modes are temporary browsing modes and the browser wipes out your browsing history once you exit either of them....
With bookmarklets, you can do neat stuff like download YouTube videos, copy paste data between computers, convert webpages to PDF files, and lots more – all these without bloating your browser in any manner. However, bookmarklets share the same problem as regular bookmarks – they can grow into a wild, unsorted bunch very quickly. Sure you can put them in a ‘bookmarklets’ folder, but if you’ve got anything over 10, finding the right one for any particular webpage will make you pull your hair apart....
What Do You Need Booklets For? If you have to do a presentation, accompanying it with a booklet that tells its outline or provides those in attendance with more information can only be a welcome addition. And since it’s very easy to customize, it can send your message across in a simpler fashion. Also, if you’re planning an event, like a wedding and you have some performances lined up, what is the best way to let your guests know what to expect and when, as well as the food they’ll be served?...

All the common features aside, one of the remarkable things about the Creative Outlier Air is the sweet price of $79....

portable Dropbox app . Of course, all this because both the portal and the computers on which they could be accessed had a number of restrictions in place. While using the portable Dropbox app proved to be a useful workaround, the task remained cumbersome to some extent. A better way out is to upload these files directly from a browser to a Dropbox folder which can then be synced to any device whenever required....
However, if you are sharing your computer, I also have a gut feeling that there is some amount of security breach associated with it. Some other user of the machine might just be able to access your files and activities by visiting the Jump List’s recent and frequent sections (shown below is an example). Be it this reason, or any other, there is a way to disable these items from showing on an application Jump List....
