I usually watch live sports on my browsers and it works well, but today while browsing through the Windows 8 Store I stumbled upon a modern app called Live TV using which we can watch live streaming TV on our computer. According to the app’s description on the Windows 8 Store, a user can download the app and watch standard definition videos for free. However, the services like high definition streaming and show recordings can only be accessed after paying a nominal one-time fee....

All it takes is a wee bit of patience, and you’ll end up with a stunning image in no time. What I love about this tool is the image tuning tool which lets you tweak each aspect of the picture. More importantly, you can choose to edit only a specific part of an image and leave the rest like that. Yep, it’s that versatile. But this nifty tool lacks one basic feature, and that’s the watermarking feature....

Earlier this week, Instagram added a new poll stickers feature to Stories alongside two new creative tools. Now, the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app is adding a new face filter to its fold, which lets users place a beam of light on their image. Even if there is no sunshine around, the new face filter on Instagram will enable users to place a beam of sunlight on their selfie. Once the filter is applied, tap on the screen to move it around or you can tap on the light to change its orientation from vertical to horizontal and vice-versa....

Still, when all you really need out of a product is sound, it’s sometimes hard to tell what could have improved over the previous generation. Make no mistake though that the Jaybird X3 wireless earbuds are a significant step forward from the X2. Here are four key differences between the two models. Jaybird X3 is ‘Hat-Proof’ The Jaybird X3 wireless headphones have been redesigned and repackaged in a smaller shell than before....

They aren’t heavy, and the IPX7 rating makes the deal sweeter. Simultaneously, they are easy to carry, thanks to the cylindrical design, which makes it easier to grip them. However, when it comes to the price-point, things are not so similar. While the older JBL Charge costs around $179, the Flip 5 carries a price tag of $120. So, it begets the question, if the $60 price difference is worth it....

Chinese OEMs such as Oppo with Color OS and Xiaomi with MIUI have been aggressive with modifications on top of Android. With the launch of the Google Pixel 3a family, the company is targeting affordable flagships by the likes of Realme and Xiaomi. At first glance, you will hardly find any differences in the specs sheet. Xiaomi offers a better chipset while Pixel delivers a better camera. But that’s all relative compared to the big difference between the software experience....

While Notion and Coda’s unique take on modular productivity managed to attract early adopters and consumers. Both Notion and Coda let you use varieties of templates and keyboard shortcuts.

Select a song or a podcast, right click on it, and click on “Get Info.” Now, in the window that opens up, click on the “Options” tab at the top.

No one is disputing the awesome capabilities of this new iPad Pro. What I am disputing, however, is the need to buy one. At $649, its starting price is higher than ever before for an iPad Pro in this size range. That price, once you factor in an Apple Pencil and/or Smart Keyboard, enters full-on laptop territory. That’s okay for some, but I suspect you’re questioning whether you can get an iPad Pro that has more bang for your buck....

CloudShot is an uncomplicated software. It installs quickly and you can access the Settings dialog from the system tray. Clicking on the CloudShot icon and then Settings gives you this screen: The default screen capture key is Print Screen. I customized it to CTRL+ALT+D so that I could take the above screenshot along with my other screen capture tool and avoid a conflict. You can change the shortcut key to anything that suits you....

Before iPadOS, I would’ve recommended Chrome over Safari in a heartbeat. But now, things aren’t so cut and dry. It’s time to go back to the drawing board and figure out which browser is worth gracing the sanctity of your iPad. I’ve given away the plot, but let’s get started. 1. Performance If you are merely looking for a better-performing alternative to Safari on your iPad, then you aren’t going to get that with Chrome....

delivering messages at the right time and being able to reply to the most important ones under all circumstances (even if you are on a vacation ). Also, messages of high importance need to be tracked at times (from source to destination). This could ensure that a message has been delivered and/or been read by the right person. MS Outlook (desktop client) features an integrated tool to help you with this....

IMAP functionality most other email providers have been sporting for awhile. This is an important change because it enables a very beneficial method of retrieving and reading email. Previously, Outlook.com mail being read, moved, deleted, or sent from clients didn’t update the server with this information. The default method would simply make changes to how you viewed the mail in the client, but this update enables the ability to manipulate the server messages....

Much like our post on whether to buy a dedicated video camera, we’ve put together another survey. Maybe you have too many 3.5 mm accessories to give up or maybe you don’t need a headphone jack as often as you’d think. Answer the questions below to determine whether it’s a good time to switch to Android. Answer based on your own context, but pay attention to which letter you’re picking for each....
