We are going to find this post today as we compare the new JBL Flip 5 with the older (and popular) UE Boom 3 to help you make an informed decision....
While the wallpapers of the good ol’ days were definitely seen as a breakthrough, they turned out to be huge guzzlers of the battery juice.

The horror of sticking the phone to the power outlet every now and then just to see raindrops sliding down my screen was enough to kick it out, and I resorted back to the standard static wallpapers....

Graphs Made Easy ver.3.1 is a 2 MB download and makes cool graphs in minutes on all Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 machines. The analogy I can offer is that GME is like MS Paint while the ‘complex’ Excel is more like Photoshop. The start of your first graph is simple – you choose the kind of graph you want to create. GME supports line, pie, bar, stack, series, and area graph types....
But outside of MS, no one is really competing with Google Docs. Editorially tried and failed. Draft seems to have picked up Editorially’s mantle but I’m not a big fan of how Draft does a lot of things. But Editorially and Draft went to the extreme end of online writing, with heavy reliance on Markdown and ditching rich text. As much as I’d like it to be, Markdown is not for everyone....

The days before the launch brought us minimal promo images with flat icons for the event. Some journalists took it as a sign that finally TouchWiz would be more minimal on the looks and less on the bloat as well. Sadly, that’s not what happened. What we got was a fantastic update of internals and hardware....
Using Cortana is different, but opening Bing for search results is not what I had in mind. I would always prefer Google or Duck Duck Go and I have my own reasons behind it. However, Microsoft has hard-coded Bing into Windows 10 and there’s no native way to change the search engine. Still, there are a few workarounds using which you can redirect the Bing searches to your preferred search engines in Firefox and Chrome....

your calendars always in your pocket thanks to your iPhone or iPod Touch. And now with Apple’s iCloud service it is also possible to have all of them synced seamlessly at all times and across all your devices.
