Though it’s where its fame and fortune first came from, Google has advanced far beyond just being the world’s most popular search engine. You and I both know that Google plays host to many amazing services that we use on an everyday basis. Gmail is a great example. I have Gmail. I bet you too have Gmail! How about the late, great Google Reader? That was a service that so many of us would already love to have back. Why Google, why? These are just two examples, and you’d be pretty surprised to know how many other goodies Google has floating around out there. Beyond their alerts system and floundering social network, Google has developed a wealth of web applications that just aren’t given enough shine. We’ve done articles in the past that help highlight some of Google’s hidden treasures that don’t get the limelight they deserve, but Google is always changing and pumping out more. In this article, let’s look at another three. Google Trends Google Trends is a great place to ...

Novelty fades quickly. While we have become used to touch screens, the latest fad are touch-less interfaces. Game consoles have long embraced natural interaction and even your webcam can detect motion and gestures to some degree. Right now the first application driven gesture recognition devices for personal computers are hitting the market, most notably the Leap Motion. The Leap Motion Controller is a novel user interface device for Windows and Mac. It lets you control your computer through finger gestures painted into the air above the small device. Leap Motion promises to make interaction with the computer and software more natural.

Does Netflix on your Android device either not work, or not work properly? If so, you might benefit from using a hacked version of the Netflix installable file, also known as an APK file. This article covers two modified versions of Netflix for Android, from XDA developers, that can solve a lot of your video watching woes: One employs customizable backgrounds, fixed subtitles and enables autorotation while playing video. The other allows for higher definition quality video. However, before installing, you will need to set your phone to use files from outside the Play Store. How To Install from Unknown Sources in Android Because none of these apps are official builds, you’ll first need to enable third party apps. To do so, simply navigate to your phone’s Settings -> Security -> and then check the box for “Unknown sources”. Be aware that while I personally tested and scanned both apps, you install them at your own risk. After configuring your system to accept u...

Drivers are important for every computer. Without them, hardware and software wouldn’t be able to communicate, leaving a system inoperable. Updates to drivers can dramatically improve the stability, speed and features of a computer without any changes to the hardware inside. Yet, for whatever reason, driver updates remain difficult to locate for most devices. Most users don’t update unless something has gone wrong. Driver Booster, from IObit, promises an easier solution by acting as an all-in-one command center. All of your drivers are listed in the app’s interface, making them easy to update; or that’s the idea, at least. Let’s see if one interface can truly handle updates for all your hardware. Quick Installation The download for IObit Driver Booster is less than 20 megabytes, which is an exceptionally small file size for a modern program. Users lacking bandwidth will appreciate how easy the file is to grab. Installation is dead-simple. There are no special opti...

A few months ago, we covered five great VPN services that you can use without having to pay a single cent. If you’re new to Virtual Private Networks, you should check out that article as it has a quick crash course on what they are and why people find VPNs useful. But for those of you who are acquainted with VPNs, did you know that they aren’t only for computers? There are VPNs for mobile devices as well, and they are just as important. In the Google Play Store, you’ll find a whole lot of VPN clients for Android devices, but few of them are as up-to-date and robust as SurfEasy . The same goes for iOS. All that’s required of you is to download and install this single app, toggle it on, and you’ll be good to go. But SurfEasy isn’t only a mobile VPN – it’s also available for Windows and Mac computers – so, really, there’s no reason not to be interested. SurfEasy offers a 3-tier account structure: Free, Mobile VPN, and Total VPN (more on that later). The Total VPN plan i...
