Logitech mk240 Mouse Combo Review

Image
What do you do when you have a Windows tablet that doesn't include a keyboard dock? No, you neither throw it into the trash can or merely play games with it. You'll buy a set of wireless mouse and keyboard and of course, a USB OTG cable and put them together. That way, you'll have yourself a complete 'hybrid' notebook, albeit cheap. Now, I'm pretty certain that you're thinking that there's no such set that has the right size for your tablet.

User debug basically means that it's still in beta stages and (probably) not ready for prime time due to bugs (camera flash and battery drain).

I don't know how a company as big as Evercoss could make such a mistake, as other Android One manufacturers don't seem to have the same issue. If you want to get the best of your phone, then you'll have to upgrade it to stock Lollipop. There are actually two ways to do this: either go to the official service centre and have them upgrade your phone or do it yourself. The former consumes more time since you have to get there and qu

An Ad-Ware Horror Story

A screenshot from Microsoft's campaign about using pirated software. This is what happened to me yesterday... technically speaking. If you've been in the Internet long enough (and are familiar with Internet and all threats within), you're bound to know about ad-ware (or adware, whichever one is right doesn't matter). If you don't know, then I'll gladly give you a brief explanation. Generally, computers (that have contact with the outside) have two kinds of threats: malwares (worms, viruses, trojans, etc.) and adwares. Malwares, as the name suggests––malicious wares, are programs created with the intention to break or damage your system. It can steal your precious data, delete important system files, or even access your computer when you least expect… or, just multiply itself to annoy the hell out of you. Regardless, malwares are evil, that's for sure. But, what about adwares? Well, adwares aren't as malicious as malwares, but they're
