1. Show Me Nonstop I recently tried looking for Infinitube, the tool people used to watch YouTube videos nonstop.

But before that, Enhance the functionality of your MacBook with these USB-C hubs Take a look at these USB-C card readers for iPhones...

All things considered, it’s just a new coat of paint. Albeit a very bright and cheery one. You’d be forgiven if you thought that Yosemite was designed by Hello Kitty backpack wearing school girls. But it wasn’t. It was developed by some of the best designers and engineers around. And turns out, they knew some people wouldn’t appreciate this new look.

However, if you are using this app, you’ll end up using two different dialers on your homescreen. The first one is the default contact dialer app we all use to make calls and the second is a simple T9 dialer to search and launch apps without fishing for it in the cluttered app drawer.

After being accustomed to CC, it’s the feature I miss the most on Android.

I had a bad week last month when suddenly the much-dreaded touchscreen issue showed up. And while not everyone is affected by it, the ones who are, find themselves frustrated. Because you need the touchscreen to work perfectly every single time.
