One of such essential tasks for me is paying my credit card bills. Just a single reminder? Doesn’t even serve as a nudge, forget pushing me to log in to my bank. What I need in such a scenario is a process that would tell me each day, “You have N days to pay your bills”. Now, I use MS Outlook as a to-do tracker and it does not help me create such routine reminder....

If you notice carefully, the example I gave above is for a guest. That is for someone who needs your computer for a temporary period.

So let’s dive deep into the guest mode on Chrome and know more about it. What is Chrome’s Guest Mode Google Chrome lets you create multiple profiles where important details such as bookmarks, history, passwords, etc....

One of the many reasons why I love the Windows operating system is the level of freedom it hand users to customize their experience on their devices. It doesn’t matter what you use your Windows PC for, there’s always a way to fine-tune your experience for optimal performance. One of such nifty customization feature is how you use your mouse during operation of apps and other software.

I feel design, or maybe the ‘design’ perspective changes from person to person. And that’s what brings me to the all-new Windows 10 Start Menu. Addressing user concerns from the previous versions of Windows, Microsoft has made the Windows 10 Start Menu a lot more customizable. Apart from the defacto Start Menu that Windows 10 comes with, you can transform it easily to get a Windows 7 type Start Menu or a fullscreen Windows 8 Start Screen, whatever fits you right....
