Right from the colorful Go Launcher to the organized looks of Arrow Launcher, I have had my share of launchers in my devices. But I keep coming back to Nova, flexibility being the main reason. Though Nova offers a lot of features in the free version (that are to die for), the prime version’s features rock even more! So, since I’ve been on the Prime version for a while, I thought it’d be worth sharing why I went for it and what I have really liked about it....

And if you want to take things up a notch i.e. the cloud, with social integration and read position syncing between devices, you’ll find apps like Fastr and Bookmate ready to help you out. A couple of days ago, I came across dotdotdot again. I tried the app a year earlier and at that time it was a hot mess. It’s much better now. It has its quirks, but overall it is stable enough to read books on....

If you’re managing a (fairly successful) YouTube channel, you always need to know how your videos are performing, so you can make quick decisions on the way you’ll be moving forward. Well, Google seems to have had this exact idea in mind when it created YouTube Creator Studio. The app has been announced recently and it works on Android 4.0 and later, but an iOS version has also been promised....

Now that both — Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender – are combined in Windows 8, I am confused if I should trust it now. I have already covered an article stating how to completely disable Windows 8 defender before installing a new Antivirus, but if you are planning to use it as your default protection, there’s one very basic thing that the tool’s missing. The right-click context menu scan option on folders....

But if you want to consider blocking (or allowing) pop ups permanently from a specific site, and may be blocking the cookies too then this article will shows you how. Cookies, as you might know, are pieces of text stored on your browser to help frequently visited webpages load faster.

However, it would be naive to think that all Instgrammers follow the ‘Like-and-Follow’ process. Most might prefer to just check the profile without actually following the account. This is especially true in case of popular brands. If you’re someone who loves NatGeo but don’t want to inundate your feed with their photos (they post several times every day) then it makes sense to not follow them and instead visit their profile once in a day (or a week) to browse through their recent posts....

If you’re not aware already, Dashlane is a password manager that competes with the likes of 1Password and LastPass. It’s actually my preferred password manager because of its absolutely stellar UI and functionality. But interestingly enough, it has agreed to let Open YOLO work with any password manager so you don’t have to use Dashlane to reap the benefits of the API. Security Now you’re probably thinking about security. Do all these Android apps who use this API to log me in suddenly get access to my passwords?...

So I got a review code and decided to find out. Is Desk ($29.99) good enough to be the end-all solution for blog publishing?

transferring content , consoles tend to be quite overprotective. Sony is no exception to this of course, with all the existing piracy concerns that hackers pose nowadays. Because of that, if you own a Playstation console (be it a PS3, a PS Vita or a PSP ), you will notice that the ways in which you can acquire and transfer content between those devices are not only limited, but also a bit cumbersome....

The downside? These disks don’t last forever. No matter how careful you are, one scratch is enough to make the disk unreadable and there is no coming back from such situations. Additionally, copying the entire disk will work, but it will give you different VOB files in the folder which will be broken into different parts. These files might work on the desktop, but are not supported by smartphones and other portable devices....

Although this kind of spread of malware isn’t a new phenomenon as most of the Facebook users might be aware of such spam messages and posts, which have been doing rounds on the social network for quite a few years now, Facebook worked quite hard to put a stop to this.

Clicking on a link and being tossed over to your default browser, waiting for it to load, reading, and then pressing the back button to go back to your previous app is all very jarring and rote. What is this, 2011? We can do better. How? By using popups first made popular by chat heads in Facebook Messenger. Chat heads just like that, only instead of opening a chat, there will be a web page....

If you are a Chrome fan, I am sure you will echo my thoughts. The shortcuts and tabbed interface make browsing of web a delightful experience.
