It’s a frightening affair where notifications eat up the whole screen. And to make matters worse, the status bar runs out of space in its bid to accommodate the app icons.

Effects of Mars on the Brain Earth is the ideal place for humans to live. It has the perfect temperatures, the perfect atmosphere and perfect defense systems to protect us from the dangers of outer space.

However, as they say, “Photography is one art. Photo editing is another”. While not many of us would have the talent for photography, learning how to edit a photograph isn’t so hard. A little adjustment here and a few correct strokes there and you’d be surprised at the outcome. Photo editing doesn’t always mean Photoshop. It’s 2017 and, thankfully, we have numerous photo editing apps on Google Play Store. However, it gets confusing when it comes to choosing one out of these ‘numerous’ apps....

But the same wallpaper looks hideous on the iPhone homescreen. With all the flat icons and the translucent dock, nothing but abstract, artful, and vaguely natural wallpapers do the trick. Blurry wallpapers work the best with iOS 7/8. So do polygonal patterns. If you haven’t been on the internet recently, the polygon is all the rage. It totally kicks square and rectangle’s ass. You can of course go around the internet looking for polygon wallpapers and ones that are already blurred but it’s also just as easy to create your own....
