Both platforms are pretty great, to begin with, but they work in completely different ways. While LinkedIn is like a social media platform for professions, Handshake serves to connect university students with employers. LinkedIn does have an integrated job portal, but it might not be useful for people with no prior experience or connections. So, which one should you try first? Let’s find out. To begin with, let’s take a look at what the two platforms have to offer:...

Buying a new phone is always exciting, but what’s not exciting is getting the new phone loaded with data from the old phone. I have seen folks carrying both – the old and the new phone for a few weeks after the switch because they have messages, notes, images, and a lot of other important files they might need, and they mean to do the transfer ‘soon’. Can’t blame them, such a drudgery that task is....

UC Mini is a popular browser because it saves on bandwidth, consumes less space and memory, supports many languages, and packs an ad blocker. Note that UC browser was pulled down from Play Store after several Reddit users accused that the Alibaba owned app was stealing data and violating the privacy policy.

While it’s true that the Otterbox Defender provides awesome protection, a new competitor has emerged in recent years: the Lifeproof Fre.

Design and Dimensions The looks of a case probably isn’t a major concern when you want something rugged....

While Google is focusing on simplicity and taking a minimalistic approach, Microsoft is all about bridging the gap between Android and Windows 10 to improve end-user productivity. Both the launchers offer various customization options, feed menu, search engine, and theme support. Based on your usage and preference, you might find one useful over the other. In this post, we are going to compare Pixel launcher to Microsoft launcher and conclude if you need to make a switch from the default Pixel launcher....

gaming on the iPhone and other iOS devices grows, more complex and rich genres start to slowly gain ground and recognition. Simulation is one of these genres, with a few great examples of simulation games (also known as “sims”) already available on the App Store.

row and column fashion. It’s real power lies in data manipulation . Let me share an example. I stay in a rented apartment with 4 other friends. We maintain certain monthly expenses on an Excel sheet so that we can divide an equal share at the end of each month. When some expense is incurred by a single head, it is easy to edit a single cell value. But, when a constant value needs to be operated on all the cells, it takes some effort....

iOS devices come pre-installed with the Reminders app. While the app does its job well, it’s not a cross-platform tool and also lacks some features. So in this post, we decided to stack it up against the popular to-do app from Microsoft known as Microsoft To-Do. Without further ado, let’s see how they fare against each other. Installation and Cross-Platform Availability The Reminders app is available for iPhone, iPad, and macOS....

As time changed, the split identities were not just limited to calls and messages, but to social apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Developers introduced features using which a person can clone apps and configure two different accounts on the same phone. This feature was was amazing and just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, MIUI 8 introduced the concept of Second Space with MIUI 8. While still in Beta, Second Space on MIUI 8 is a very interesting, and the first of its kind feature to be made available for Android users....

Android throws notifications from them in the app drawer just as someone tries to reach you. While reading these incoming messages one by one using different apps is not too big a deal, wouldn’t it still be wonderful if you could read all the incoming messages from these apps under a single app? Snowball For Android Snowball is an interesting app for Android that is working to make that possible....

No, you don’t have to do it manually. Download Flickr Wallpaper Rotator for your Windows Desktop, and let it do the job for you. As the name tells you, this tiny app retrieves images from Flickr, and sets them as the wallpaper, while running quietly in the background. Wallpaper rotators like this take predictability out of the equation. The random changes to your desktop will pique your interest. After all, staring at the same wallpaper day in and day out is dull to the nth degree....

It works on more than 165 sites, including popular ones like YouTube, Metacafe, Vimeo and Yahoo video. In my experience of using the tool, I found that it failed to leave an impact when I ran it for the first time....

For private emails you are probably using services like Gmail, Outlook.com and Yahoo Mail. In such cases you do not have to worry about the syncing thing. However, there are people like me who have merged all these accounts using a desktop email client like Outlook. Cool Tip: Ever wanted to sync Windows Sticky Notes across all your computers? Here’s our guide to help you set up. Now, the problem is that there are no exchange servers for such private versions of email clients (actually, that would cost a lot)....

And no, that was not my attempt at writing a rap song. CloudGoo ($0.99 – iPhone, Android) is an app that wants to solve my 99 problems (ok, no more rap references) by combining my used/unused (and multiple) online backups into one big ball of super mega storage. And this is different from Jolicloud, which is more like a Linux disto where you need to manage all your files and folders and places yourself....

As a result, I had to shift focus elsewhere. I started looking for gadgets launched in 2022 that had something unique to offer. Something that grabbed my attention. Something that would make tech fun for me all over again. That’s when I stumbled upon the Insta360 X3. The Insta360 X3 is a small, pocket-sized camera that records 360° videos. While that doesn’t seem much at face value, the Insta360 X3 turned out to be one of the coolest gadgets I used in 2022....
