Why is Private Encrypted Messaging with Signal Important? Never in a million years did I think I would use a Jean Michel Jarre song in a technology article. However, in this particular case, it’s very appropriate, and you’ll understand why I’m doing this, in a second. The song is a collaboration between French electronic music pioneer Jean Michel Jarre and international surveillance programs whistleblower and privacy advocate Edward Snowden. At one point in the song, Snowden, one of Open Whisper Systems’ technology big fans, says, and I quote: That is what Signal is offering....
Cameras Google Camera (Free) Google Camera is an incredible camera that you most likely already know about. With 3 unique modes – Photo Sphere, Panorama and Lens Blur – you’ll find yourself taking so many photos you might run out of internal storage. The Photo Sphere feature and Panorama work great, but just like most other photo stitching methods, they often make mistakes. The truly impressive part about the app is the Lens Blur option – it allows you to take a photo and then slightly move your phone upwards so that the phone can determine the foreground and background through a simple depth detection method....
One of the sure things about Apple’s DNA is its ability to make complexity simple. The company’s latest example is the Apple Clips app, a video editing and sharing app designed for the iPhone and iPad.

But wait, doesn’t Apple already make a video app for iOS?...

According to the list, the US is the luckiest nation from this point of view....
What’s New in the iOS 11.3.1 Update and Should You Upgrade? If you replaced your iPhone 8 display recently through a third party using non-genuine or non-OEM parts, you might have gotten a surprise when you updated to iOS 11.3; the touch screen stopped working or did not respond accurately. This was partly due to a chip included in the new iPhones that disables core functionality such as touch when modifications have been made....

In a nutshell, the Dropbox service revolves around the concept of the magic pocket—you put something in your Dropbox folder, and it’s there for you whenever you need it, where ever you need it, be it offline, online, at work, at home or in a coffee shop, on their website etc.. Box.net on the other hand, is more of an online workspace that focuses on web-based collaboration, in the vein of SharePoint and Google Docs....

I had a wonderful trip through hell on my first encounter with Windows 10, but the bad thing is that the problems just kept on coming. And they still are. I’m currently writing this article on a Windows 10 PC and who knows what could happen as I’m doing so. Ethernet Driver Issues Let’s start with something I thought wasn’t Windows’ fault, but turned out to be one — Ethernet....
This feature is welcome and perhaps overdue for Facebook’s mainline messaging app. WhatsApp and Instagram (both owned by Facebook), for example, already have encryption and multi-factor authentication. It’s about time that Facebook implemented this feature directly into Messenger, which more and more users are turning to for daily communications instead of text or email. Secret Conversations add one more compelling reason to use Messenger instead of SMS or other unencrypted methods....
