Firefox is updating way too often (then you haven’t been on Chrome yet!). That’s a part of its rapid release cycle strategy, that is – 6 weeks between each new release. It might be good news for you if you were peeved with the earlier version, but it is a problem for your add-ons (and their developers) as they simply have to keep up. Well, Firefox just hopscotched from version 12 to the latest Firefox Version 13....
indexing mechanism that speeds up searching of files in the system. Instead of going through each drive and directory, Windows simply searches for the associated index and maps the real location of the file. However, the performance of search indexes is not always accurate and pleasing. Sometimes you may see messages that search results are slow, search results might be incomplete, media is not present in the search location or Windows search indexer has stopped working....

During such conversations, I learned about a cool new way to launch applications using Launchpad. Launchpad is a new feature introduced in Mac OS X Lion. It’s an iPhone like application launcher for Mac, which makes it easier to launch applications. As there was no Mac around, I used my Android to see a webcast for Launchpad, and it was really impressive. Here, have a look. When I came home, I started searching for a similar tool for Windows, and that’s when I learned about XLaunchpad, a Launchpad like application launcher for Windows....
Today, in the age of rampant social media sharing, lifting someone’s work is just so easy. It’s as simple as taking a screenshot of the picture, applying a few filters and sharing it on Instagram (or any such relevant platform, for that matter). Hence, it’s important that we slap our name (and in some cases the names of our precious phones) to our photos. Since iPhones do not have this feature built in, obviously we’d have to borrow it from third-party apps, and well, that’s the only way for now (until Apple gets inspired from Android, maybe?...

To make them useful and not-ugly, we showed you how to make your own custom tiles using TileCreator for Windows 10 and OblyTile for Windows 8.1. Taking a page from that, I wondered whether games can be tiled in such a way.

There are some tools like Connectify and Virtual Router that claim to provide a solution to the above problem but to me they created additional problems rather than solving the one I have. Soon after I installed Connectify, I started having random crashes with the infamous Blue Screen Of Death.

LastPass also allows people working on public computers and internet cafes to access their vaults online but it’s always risky with all those keyloggers running in the background (well, in some of those cafes I should say), waiting for you to make a mistake....
