I still remember how I was a fan of Soluto when it was a simple Windows startup manager tool and marketed itself as an anti-frustration tool. But a few years back they completely changed their application and moved towards business users and using it itself became a frustration for me. Finally, after years of searching, I have been able to find yet another application that optimizes Windows startup with the same ease of accessibility....

A Galaxy, Far Far Away… Scientists have been known to give rather complex names to bodies in space and this is no exception. The galaxy has been named CL J1001+0220 and is the largest known structure in the universe that’s held together by gravity, according to NASA. What’s more, scientists have noted that the discovery of this galaxy happened right after its birth. This was Tao Wang of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission who led the study, which has since been published in the Astrophysics Journal....

Switchr puts your uploaded audio files through a three step conversion process. The online application supports WAV, MP3, AAC, AIF, AU, FLAC, OGG, M4A, WMA and iPhone ringtone file formats. Switchr is game for the job if the file size is within 100 MB. That, I think is sufficient for more than enough for any conversion job. If you have a file that needs to be converted from its original format, here’s how you go about it....

If you answered, “a lot”, read on. We are going to help you reduce that three-step process to one. Three steps, right?

You will have a button by the end of this tutorial that does all three in a single click. And this is just an example, you can use this method to create several such buttons for repetitive formatting....

I wish they were all back there on every reboot. Browser session restores help me to some extent. Besides, there is a way to get back explorer windows. How about programs and the state of their processes? We have told you about an application previously that helps you reload the programs (not the work session though). Today, we are set to cover the remaining piece. We are going to look at a cloud based service, Cupcloud....

Let’s understand it in a simple way. 64 bit version can deal with physical memory (RAM) above 4 GB and up to 128GB (yes, it exists!) while 32-bit version can address RAM up to 4 GB only. Therefore, if you have a 32 bit version of Windows installed on your computer then installing RAM above 4 GB doesn’t make sense. The ability to handle large memory makes the 64 bit version more efficient while dealing with processes....

How to Share a Google Docs Spreadsheet Because most Google Docs users will first share a document and then use the notification rules to email them on changes made, we’ll first list at how to share a document on Google Docs. Look to the upper right of a document for the button called Share.

in a past entry we already compared it to Sparrow, a great third party app that offered quite a few additional features for iPhone owners. However, since Sparrow was acquired by Google, the app has barely seen any updates, which makes the app somewhat unreliable. Thankfully, there are a couple of new iPhone email clients around that are more than capable and, best of all, that are completely free of charge....

If you have used the last few builds of Chrome, you might have noticed how PDF files open up in the browser itself. This integration makes sure that your workflow doesn’t break while switching from one application to another and also helps in memory management. Firefox 15 and above come with an integrated PDF reader but it’s disabled by default. Today I am going to show you how you can enable it and open all the PDF files in the browser instead of downloading and opening them using a third-party tool....

They both approach creating GIFs differently, so here you find out which one is best for making and sharing them on the fly....

Which one should you use to search for things around you? Let’s understand it in this post where we compare Google Lens to Pinterest Lens....
