extra edge to account security and some of the famous web services like Google, Facebook and Dropbox have already incorporated it for better customer experience. Now the thing that concerns me about the feature is that it relies on phone network to text or call you and give you the OTP (One Time Password) for authentication. And if, by any chance you are out of coverage area, you will be cursing the feature while having a tough time recovering your account....

Many might assume otherwise, but Google FortuneTelling isn’t an official Google product. It’s owned by a Netherlands-based communications company called BrainMedia who came up with this Google-imitation for a social cause. “So we used a fake Google site to get your attention because apparently, you were interested in your own future. Please take a moment to think of their future,” the website reads. A clever initiative by the site’s owners who support donations to the United Nations Refugee Agency — UNHCR — the google-based design helps the website’s cause and the search engine giant hasn’t reported the site for using its logo....

Two apps that we are going to compare today are Google Keep and Todoist. Both the apps take a different approach when it comes to creating and managing to-do lists. Google Keep is a free app that is available on all platforms, and lets you work with text, image, and audio notes. Download Keep Todoist is a robust app that is also available on all platforms, supports sub-projects, uses natural language, integrates with third-party apps, and uses goals to track progress....

Here in this article we will clearly outline what’s Windows’ Control Panel, the ways to access the control panel and a brief overview on how to get things under your control using it. We will focus on Windows 7 in this post. The Control Panel is an integral part of all the GUI based operating systems from Microsoft. It allows user to view and change system settings that governs the operating system....

Apple has learned to remedy this problem with their similarly designed “S” releases by adding a new color. The iPhone 5s added gold and the iPhone 6s added rose gold. Since the iPhone 7 is the first iPhone that keeps the same design for a third year in a row, Apple threw in two new colors: black and jet black. If you look around the Internet, you won’t find very many complaints about the similar design....

list of default applications . It is so well connected that you can view your photos from most places effortlessly. It is not just about your local photos but also about the seamless connectivity with other computers/devices you own and services like SkyDrive, Facebook, and Flickr. While you will see most of your photos already there, we will learn how to add more to the list and/or how to import some from a device....

Which is why most office workers have two Dropbox accounts, one just for work and other for personal use. But then, what if you want to access your office files on your Android smartphone/tablet when you’re on the go? The official app only lets you login with one account at a time. There’s an answer to this… three answers actually. 1. ES File Explorer ES File Explorer is a beast of an app....

While Instagram gets its fair share of criticism, we must give due appreciation for constantly adding new features with every update. Similarly, the ability to add pronouns on Instagram was launched a while ago. We’ll show you how to add or change pronouns and control who sees them on your profile. Before that, let us understand why adding pronouns on Instagram is important. What Are Pronouns on Instagram Gender pronouns (he/him, she/her, they/them) are words used to refer to a person in communication....

After some digging, I found out there is a way to adjust the sensitivity of your touch on the Siri remote so scrolling and flicking works more with your own pace. Not only that, but Apple is apparently planning to release an update soon to improve scrolling on the Apple TV. It will come in tvOS 9.1, so keep an eye out. For now, here’s how to adjust your Siri remote’s touch sensitivity using the on-screen settings....

In Windows, you’ll find that by default most of the programs run in the standard mode (even if you are using the admin user profile). But there are programs (like the Windows 7 DreamScene Activator we talked about) that need to be started in the administrator mode for them to function properly. Also, at times, even common applications like the Notepad need to be run as administrator, like you saw yesterday in our edit HOSTS file post....

Getting Started The process begins by signing in to your Dropbox account on the web. On the left, you will now see a new option for File requests. Clicking it will give you an option to Create file request. Once you click that, you are greeted with a dialog box prompting you to type the name of the file that you are requesting. Dropbox will suggest creating a new folder to place this file in, although you can select an existing folder to add this file into....

While there have been a ton of bugs like images not loading or Twitter feed not working at all that have accompanied features, it’s good to see that Twitter is addressing users’ requirements with some useful features. So, if you’re wondering how to bookmark a Tweet on Twitter, here’s a simple tutorial that you can use on your smartphone and computer. What is Twitter Bookmark Let’s say you’re scrolling through your Twitter feed....

If you think that signing out of the Facebook Messenger will help you by hiding your online presence, think again. Facebook’s mobile app has a nasty little hidden setting that can let others know about your presence, even without the Messenger. However, as always there’s a fix for that and we will talk about it here. There are ways in which you can protect your online presence or hide on Facebook when you want....

The main difference between Google Maps and Waze is that the former is data-based, whereas the latter is community-based. It means every member using the Waze app can report information related to traffic conditions, accidents, speed, and police traps, etc, for free to the Waze server. Further, it comes with an online map editor, to update roads, landmarks, house numbers, or even add new buildings. And just like every other navigation app, Waze also comes with a voice-guided driving assistance feature....

While some of these apps are safe (particularly the ones owned by Instagram — Boomerang, Layout, etc.), the third-party apps that are not affiliated with or endorsed by Instagram cannot be trusted completely. Even Instagram warns about the potential damages some third-party apps can cause. If granted access to your Instagram account, for example, a (malicious) app can read your direct messages (DMs), get information about your contacts, spam your page with content, etc....

The comparison feature will represent the changes made as suggestions, making it easier to create a final document. It’s a handy tool for teachers and editors to see what changed by comparing before and after versions. So, without further ado, let’s see how to compare documents in Google Docs. Compare Documents in Google Docs For comparison, you’ll need two separate documents in Google Docs. If you wish to compare it with a Word document, you’ll need to convert the DOCX document to the GDOC format....

When you need to compare multiple pages, the method seems a bit orthodox and uncanny. We have already talked about an online tool called CompareMyDocs that can compare documents for you, but if you have Microsoft Word installed on your system then there is no need for this tool or any other such service. You can easily compare two documents without breaking a sweat. To compare two documents, open Microsoft Word (2007 or 2010 version)....

Quizlet If you use multiple devices to study, Quizlet lets you access study guides for free on any device. It doesn’t work offline with a Chromebook though (see some other choices later). They have a series of shared guides they call Study Sets. The real power is creating personal study sets and sharing them with others. Those quizzes sync with an iOS or Android device. There’s no excuse for not studying....

Why would you want to create, combine, or share a playlist on Spotify? The answer is simple: personalization and connection. Creating a playlist allows you to assemble a collection of tracks that resonate with your mood, style, or specific theme. While combining playlists enables you to merge your favorite tracks from multiple playlists into one, offering a seamless listening experience. Finally, sharing playlists with others fosters a sense of connection....

A watermark is an image placed in the background and is slightly faded to not interfere with the text and other elements in the slide. You can place a company logo to deter unauthorized sharing. Either way, there is a way to add a watermark in PowerPoint slides. Let’s begin. Create and Add Watermark to Slides You can add a watermark to individual slides or all slides in PowerPoint at once....
