As a recent college graduate, I have become increasingly aware of how important it is to keep track of your personal finances. Some old-timers save every receipt and still record their spending by hand, but as we Millennials like to say…. Instead, we use personal finance apps like Mint or Expensify, which are free and just as mobile as we are. Another notable “simple yet powerfull” app (yes, they use two L’s; no, I don’t know why) is the Akche Expense Tracker, available from the Windows Phone Store....
On the first glance, this one has all the right features under its hood such as a waterproof design, interesting design and well, a colored lighting strip at the bottom. Another reasonably popular Bluetooth speaker is the JBL Flip 4. The successor to the popular Flip 3, this one boasts of good build quality and a waterproof design. Most importantly, it has the JBL tag attached to its name. And the best thing is that both speakers fall in the sub $100 price bracket....

I also use Spotify’s web player to stream music instead of using the app. Playback in the web view was getting so frustrating that I wrote about a Mac app called BeardedSpice that maps Mac’s media keys to an online player’s playback controls. For my Mac this was pretty useful. But what if you’re a Windows user, or don’t want an app running in the background all the time? Well, let me introduce you to Musicality for Chrome....
So I got a review code and decided to find out. Is Desk ($29.99) good enough to be the end-all solution for blog publishing? Can it get rid of the friction between writing, editing, uploading, and publishing on the web? Writing First Desk is, after all, a writing app, and it promises to please all by offering not only rich text with WYSIWYG but also brings in Markdown for people who want it....

But long before the port-jacking, physical buttons where the first to be shunted out for a variety of reasons. Oh I so fondly remember the two stage shutter button on my Sony phone, which allowed me to first focus on the subject and then click the picture. But since the rise of the Android, the staple configuration found on every phone was the combo of power-volume buttons and navigation keys(the keys below your screen)....
We have talked about GMD Gesture control for Android using which you can get powerful actions using simple gestures. But the app requires root access and to be frank, not everyone can afford that.

Anyway, here’s the sitch. Clicking on a link and being tossed over to your default browser, waiting for it to load, reading, and then pressing the back button to go back to your previous app is all very jarring and rote. What is this, 2011? We can do better. How? By using popups first made popular by chat heads in Facebook Messenger. Chat heads just like that, only instead of opening a chat, there will be a web page....
Xiaomi and software spoken in the same breath generally point towards one thing — MIUI. Considered one of the best custom user interfaces, MIUI is known for its plethora of features. With the release of MIUI 9, the excitement among Xiaomi users is at an all-time high. However, there’s a slight catch with the MIUI 9 as it has been rolled out incrementally. This translates into the fact that even if your device is on the list for the second or third update, it might be long before you actually receive the update....

A neatly labeled chart is hands down better than a complex web of numbers and percentages. Mind you; I said neatly labeled because an unlabeled chart is as useless as a piece of IKEA furniture without an instruction manual. Yep, Legends and Data labels are as essential as the rest of the elements in the data set. How to get that done, though? Well, it’s quite simple. How to Add and Format Legends on Google Sheets for PC Legends are to a chart what signboards are to a road....
