Though I am already dual booting Windows 8 consumer preview with Windows 7 on my computer, Windows 8 to me right now is like some exotic dish of a restaurant that you have once in a while. Windows 7 on the other hand is like homemade food that you can’t live without and need for good health. Now the problem is, when you install Windows 8 over Windows 7 as a dual booting operating system, Windows 8 boot loader is given the first preference, meaning it’ll boot into Windows 8 by default unless you choose to use Windows 7 each time manually....
There have been stories about employers gaining secret access to your Facebook account and seeing what you post even if you’re not friends with them. Sometimes bosses just flat-out ask for your email address and password so they can log in. This is a flagrant violation of privacy of course, but just how much of this snooping are they legitimately able to get away with? Employers and Facebook Passwords In the past there was a lot of controversy surrounding employers asking for employees’ Facebook logins to snoop....
But what about iOS? Apple doesn’t welcome third-party browser engines on its mobile platform. In other words, neither Edge nor Chrome can use Chromium. If you are concerned about performance, then you won’t find differences between Edge and Chrome on iOS since both browsers rely on the same code that powers Safari. Regardless, they do contrast with each other when it comes to usability in general. Having used both browsers extensively on iOS over the past few months, let me share how they stack against each other....
alternative web browsers found in the App Store on your iPhone, there is no way for you to make any of them the default one . In fact, that privilege has always belonged to Safari alone, and unless you have a jailbroken iPhone, every time you tap on a link on any app, it will open in Safari. However, despite the importance of what being the mandatory default browser on the iPhone represents, Safari still keeps your browsing history by default available to anyone with access to it....
multiple email accounts is far from uncommon these days. Not all of them are necessarily important but you still need to check them now and then, and deal with the incoming mails. The phrase to note here is ‘now and then.’ Right, not all the time. May be only the main one all the time, but no, not all the email accounts all the time. This is why it becomes to important to control email sync and notifications, especially when all of those accounts are connected to a device like a smartphone (a good way to save on data plans too)....

Apart from displaying the time and date, it shows certain icons that help you quickly see the status of a running program. It also shows important notifications in the form of small text bubbles that pop up in case your action is required immediately. The notification area in Windows 7 underwent a major overhaul in terms of design and usability. The user was given more freedom to choose the icons, as well as the notifications, that get displayed in that area....
In today’s guide, we will understand the difference between an app and a widget and how these two complement each other, and why we need them. Let’s begin. 1. What Are They?

I still remember when my Bluetooth hardware button stopped working a few months ago, and I used the Windows services to start or stop the Bluetooth services. Though services.msc is a nice tool, if you need to monitor a considerable number of services then it can be a little confusing. Now, with Windows Service Monitor, you can manage all your frequently worked upon Windows services by just a click at the taskbar....
Virtual Reality was the next big thing and Facebook wanted to be at the forefront of it. He implored his followers to imagine a new world, by stating – It seemed a goal too hard to reach. But it looks like this might soon turn to reality. We got a taste of it at the Oculus Connect event and as creepy as it might seem, we might just be interacting with each other more and more in the virtual world....
So, what are we waiting for? Let’s get started. 1. Disable the Annoying Ads Ads are perhaps one of the most annoying things about any Xiaomi phone, other than the Redmi K20 series. While the company claims that it’s easy to disable ads, the reality is that it’s not that simple at all. The main issue is that Xiaomi not only pushes system-wide ads, but it also pushes ads through its stock apps....
This behavior can also be seen in iTunes. As you can see below, I have selected the Album view and the songs aren’t grouped together in the 2012 Grammy Nominees album. When and Why Does This Occur? This usually occurs when the artists are different, like in the Grammy album that I bought. All artists were different and hence the songs were showing as different too. Another reason could be the lack of Album Artist, which ideally should be attached to every song in iTunes....

However, Drive houses various types of files such as Docs, Forms, Spreadsheets, etc., and the way we share these files also varies.

Contrary to what other dedicated messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage offer, Google Hangouts positions itself as more than just messaging. In fact, the app is intended to be a client to the Hangouts Google service, and Google has already declared that it is intended to replace GTalk (its popular chatting service) in Android devices. Of course, Gmail chat will remain around, but with this iOS app and the Hangouts Chrome browser extension that Google has released, it is clear that their intention is to have Hangouts be the end-all communications hub for Google users....
