I admit it; my email is my life, my second name, my license plate in the online world. My PayPal account is associated with it, all my online jobs point to that email. I thought that setting up a password of 50 characters long would be enough, but I have chosen only words and numbers. That’s how I almost got hacked. Another huge mistake that I made was to be logged in all the time. This is silly, especially when you’re basically living online, like I do. That’s when I realized that I depend so much on Google. I use Google Reader , Google News , Google Calendar , Google Books , Google+ , Adsense and other products.  You may ask, why do I use them? Well, because they are good, simple and they suit my needs. So, how did the hack happen? Was I that dumb to let a foreigner destroy my online identity or as one’s activity grows on the web, you become an easy target for them. How do big bloggers protect their email accounts...

A ccording to Google , those 10 GB of free offered storage should be more than enough for an average person, who receives mails on a daily basis. Well, when one discovers that “average” is not exactly a word defining its personality, or its inbox, issues appear. Filling up 10 GB of space just with emails is not an easy task but, we’ve found that this happens, and usually to people who are unaware about why their Gmail account is getting filled up . Technically, when your Google Mail Inbox is almost full , Gmail will bounce all incoming emails and will also stop the owner from sending any new messages, while completely taking control over the situation. Thus, filled Gmail accounts become useless due to storage issues and there are only a few good suggestions to get it back in a working stage. Gmail is FULL? No problem Practically, getting some storage space back can be done simply by deleting trash items, spa...

M any have benefited from the possibility to record the screen of their computer. Online instructors rely on this feature to make tutorials and share them with the world and. Those that seek information are dependent on these video tutorials in order to learn new things. And although technology has given us plenty of new devices for watching content, in terms of screen recording, things are still a bit fuzzy. If there are plenty of tools for recording your computer’s screen, or your Android device, for iOS devices, there aren’t that many and some of them are pretty hard to set up. Today we’re taking a look at how to record your screen on a iOS device. Keep in mind that some of these techniques require jailbroken devices or other external hardware. Even so, we’re confident that everyone will find one way to record their iPhone’s or iPad’s screen.

  Whether you’re surfing the Web, scrolling though your iTunes library or trying to find that spreadsheet for your boss, all of your day-to-day computer interactions exist in a two-dimensional realm. But it’s about to go 3-D. A transparent computer lets users “reach inside” and move files and data with their hands. The SpaceTop 3D computer, developed by Jinha Lee, a grad student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , was unveiled last week at the TED conference in California. The system uses a transparent display equipped with two cameras — one that tracks users’ gestures and one that tracks the eyes to evaluate one’s gaze. This second camera helps adjust the perspective of the projection one sees when looking through the screen. Imagine reaching under your monitor and seeing your hand going through a list Web pages like you’d they were physical documents in a file cabinet. You would simply place your hands behind the screen to type, manipulat...

  I’m always a bit hesitant about investing too much in the horse race between tech companies jockeying to unveil The Next Big Smartphone. What many trot out as a thoroughbred of innovation usually limps across the finish line as a forgettable nag with forgettable features. But Samsung’s new Galaxy S IV might be worth paying attention to, especially since it’s expected to boast an exciting new feature that’s anything but forgettable:   Eye-scrolling . According to the New York Time’s Bits Blog , the phone will track a user’s eyes so that when they reach the bottom of a page, the software will automatically scroll down and reveal subsequent content. A Samsung employee who had tried the phone spoke with the Times on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with the media. Samsung will hold a Galaxy S IV press conference in New York City on March 14. ...

U sually, at the Mobile World Congress, there are many interesting gadgets that are waiting to be discovered. Such was the case with the NEC Media W N-05E, a flipping smartphone that reveals two 4.3 inch screens, which together deliver a combined size of 5.6 inch. Unfortunately for gadget lovers, the crazy designed NEC Medias W N-05E will be available only for the Japanese consumers (through NTT Docomo) but it is pretty hard to believe that it could prove to be an attractive device for consumers outside the country of the rising sun. NEC Medias W obviously reminds us about the YotaPhone which also came on the market with a dual sided concept only that the phone from the Russian company isn’t flipping and the back screen is fueled by eInk while the NEC Medias W has a 4.3 inch qHD display. This weird hybrid does have some power inside, because, obviously, you do need some a lot of fuel to get this device running. Hands on with NEC Medias W NEC Medias W comes with an ...

Now, let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the new Sony PlayStation 4 console. 1. Sony PlayStation 4 will not natively support PlayStation 3 Games Because Sony has moved from the old Cell processor that powered the old generation to a new X86 processor, the PlayStation 4 will not natively support PlayStation 3 games. This might affect the number of users ...

  I t is here, actually sooner than we thought. Sony has just announced PlayStation 4 at its event from New York. I realized that PlayStation 4 was here while watching the soccer game between Milan and Barcelona – there were banners suggesting the next generation was about to be launched just like it happened with the launch of HTC One. PlayStation 4 comes with, obviously, a new controller, which isn’t very different from the previous generation, however, it does sport a new design. The DualShock 4 controller has a touchpad and a share button and comes with rubberized grisps. It will be really curious to see this in action and we’ll be here to report on the first reviews. The controller also comes with a headphone jack, so it’s something more than a controller, actually. The share button will actually allow you to share 10 seconds from in-game highlights to your folks. I’m already imagining how I’m going to share my football goals with my p...

W here shall I begin? It’s omnipresent . TV, car, stock exchange, hospital, ATM machine, everything, almost everything is backed up by Linux. Its kernel is what everything runs on top of. Android OS is nothing but Linux, 80% of the financial trade is driven by Linux, almost 90% of supercomputers are running on, yes, Linux. Your favorite websites: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter – they all are powered by Linux. Space shuttles, mobile devices, enterprises, web-infrastructures, data centers, the cutting-edge recent buzz Raspberry-Pi wouldn’t have been so sophisticated if it wasn’t for Linux. Even Apple’s Mac OS and iOS are deep down, Linux. In 2011, Twitter joined Samsung, Intel and IBM by taking up membership of the Linux foundation. “Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is the fundamental to our technology infrastructure,” said Chris Aniszczyk, open source manager at Twitter. Remember the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? The place where scientists were trying to ...

  M uch as we had expected, Apple has finally (and quietly) launched the Apple TV in India, priced at Rs.7900 (~$150). Going by the retail price of $99 in the US, some people were expecting the Apple TV to be priced around Rs.6990, but not to be. [ Update : Apple India has updated the page with the new price of Rs.8295 for the Apple TV, as they had not included the taxes earlier]. Apple had launched the iTunes store in India and 54 other countries, just a couple of months back, enabling users to purchase music, movies & TV shows with their local credit/debit cards. It was only logical to believe that Apple will soon launch the Apple TV in these countries, which will help users watch the content they bought from iTunes on bigger screens. Though started as a hobby project, Apple TV has grown to be a popular gadget. Airplay makes it infinitely easy to stream music, photos and videos to Apple TV from your computer, ...

C reating models out of thin air is a hard thing to accomplish, especially when technology, and not creation, is the only thing missing out of the equation. Well, not for long, as WobbleWorks, a company residing in Boston, has developed the first 3D printing slash drawing pen. The 3Doodler concept is quite simple: you have a pen, filled with heated plastic material while plugged in a regular charger and cooled immediately after exit, which can be used to draw shapes, symbols, models and everything that comes in mind, without any rigid support whatsoever. It’s like drawing with a regular pen, but without paper support. All you need is air, and talent. What is 3Doodler ? In a few words, 3Doodler is the first 3D printing pen that allows people to lift their imagination off the page. It’s a device that uses ABS plastic, the same material boosted by many 3D printers, to draw fragments of your imagination on air or materials. There is no need for...

P ersonal computers and “big” computing devices are no longer the latest craze in the market. The highlight is now on smartphones and tablets and almost all major tech companies are interested in being amongs the innovators. Nvidia is one of the biggest chip makers in the world and currently, they are apparently shifting their focus. For example, it was surprising to see Nvidia announce Project Shield at CES , where it actually managed to become one of the most hunted gadgets. Today, Nvidia announced the Tegra 4i , previously known as Project Grey. Tegra 4i is Nvidia’s first device that combines a modem and a GPU-based processor. The i500 LTE modem is integrated in Tegra 4i, which is half the size of its nearest competitor. With the launch of Tegra 4i, Nvidia hopes to rival Qualcomm in the mid to low-range market of smartphones. If Tegra 4 is for superphones and tablets, then Tegra 4i is the solution to bringing LTE speeds to smartphones with a more accessible price. ...

With smartphones receiving better and better cameras, it’s hard for digital camera manufacturers to keep up with these mobile devices that offer a bigger number of features. One of these features is Wi-Fi connectivity, a feature that almost all smartphones have, but marginally few cameras have adopted this technology. I’m not sure why manufacturers do not make this step, which would be obvious to many. A few years ago, Wi-Fi offered not much use to users, there weren’t that many public hotspots, social networks or cloud storage systems for storing photos , but this has dramatically changed in recent times. Cloud storage is now widely available for everyone to use, social networks like Facebook have encouraged mobile uploads of pictures, video sharing websites like YouTube offers lots of features for uploaders (and even the possibility to make money ). Why having Wi-Fi enabled cameras is a good idea Just think of your smartphone: you take a picture and ...
