For the most of us, the lock screen is adorned only by a simple clock and of course, the mandatory lock pattern. And it’s high time we paid a little attention to this lock screen. For starters, how about putting a cool GIF as a lock screen wallpaper on Android? So that everytime you open your phone, you are welcomed by something crazy as Mario leaping his way around or Harry Potter flying around with Buckbeak....

Fortunately, displaying file extensions on the desktop version of OneDrive is super-easy, and also on Android. While OneDrive for iOS doesn’t make things that convenient, you should be still able to look up file extensions with a bit of an effort. So without any further ado, let’s see how you can do that. On Desktop OneDrive offers no built-in means to enable file extensions on the desktop. But since it’s fully integrated with Windows, you can use File Explorer’s native functionality to display extensions instead....

I am going to talk about an amazing app that lets you stream audio and video from your device to your computer. Also, the app doesn’t depend on a server – it emulates the Android screen in a web browser. Therefore, you can use the trick on any platform, and a modern day browser is all you need to open the host IP. Using Weak Control for Android Weak Control is pretty simple....

talking about the latest movies , I remembered an amazing song which I thought of playing to her. When I played the song on my HTC One X, both of us were very disappointed by the quality of the inbuilt speakers . I told my sister that I will transfer the song to her computer so she could listen to it on better speakers, but later I recalled that I was not carrying my data cable....

What Could Go Wrong? In an ideal world, backups should be “set it and forget it.” They just work. When something goes wrong, you go to the backup and restore stuff. If everything worked just the way it should, then you probably wouldn’t even need the backup. That’s one of the reasons you need to test it. A very common problem users have with backups is they’re backing up the wrong stuff....

Let’s assume you already have a lot of media on your computer and external hard drives, ranging from high-quality .mkv files to more typical .avi files. You’re a bit envious when you see Windows Media Center on your buddy’s TV at home, and you wish that as a Mac user you had something more substantial than Front Row to handle your media. Well, you don’t need to worry anymore because we’ve got Plex, which, as they say, is the complete media solution for OS X and iOS users....

One fact I want to share is, I use PortableApps Suite on my USB Drive and I was looking for a way I could integrate Dropbox to it. Though I couldn’t get Dropbox to work, I managed to find a way to use Google Drive using a portable app. I was fine with that because all I wanted was to work on files and automatically sync them online. Dropbox or Google Drive, as long it worked, I was happy....

Wait, What Is The Moto Assist? Good question. Motorola wanted to create an assistant independent of Google Now with a few neat tricks of its own. That’s where the Assist app comes into the picture. It can automatically silence calls when it detects you’re in a meeting, reacts to gestures and has a helpful glance notification feature that we’ll see in a bit. But Does It Really Work? Of course! Motorola have never known to create to unreliable apps or bloatware only for the sake of pushing their own services....

So let’s take a look at why this utter failure of a product is an utter failure of a product, shall we? Instagram Stories Solve a Problem Snapchat Already Solved Instagram solved a problem for Facebook and Twitter users back in 2010....

This is where Winterboard comes into play.

organized computer (keeping all my files in a folder and sub-folder structure ), I also have the habit of putting things temporarily on my desktop .
