In a world full of customization, including Kanye West gifting an ugly customized Birkin bag to Kim Kardashian and making, if you can believe it, a Birkin undesirable thanks to naked and ugly monsters drawn on it, why should our smart phone widgets not be customized? I know you are thinking that I am being a little over the top by comparing home screen widgets to a Birkin, but I cannot help it because that bag is just too ugly. Anyway, the app in focus today is called, and it is very…
I know you are crazy about gadgets and you own a big screen LED television, a DVD player, a home theatre system, a Dolby 8.1 surround sound system and oh, you just bought that hot new Bluray player on the latest TV ads as well. And all this is just in the entertainment room of your house. When someone takes a whole tour of the house they would also find separate televisions, DVD players and sound bars in each bedroom. It is good that you are one to splurge on these not so little luxuries in…
No - the fact that I keep writing about reading apps is not because I love love love reading (so much that I ended up becoming a writer to give more reading content to the world! I am kidding, of course), is not the reason why I keep covering different reading apps. It is because I would like to give you as many options as I can so you have a range of apps to choose from. Really. Okay fine, it is also because I love reading. Today’s app is called Moon+Reader Pro. The obvious question in…
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is barely available around the world. It’s on sale in South Korea and that’s about it.

Last month, the Android community watched as Apple unveiled its lineup of iPhone 6 phones. Yes, September was Apple’s month. We can concede that. But this October may be Android’s month. In fact, it could be Android’s best month ever. Over the next few weeks, the Android community is going to witness a number of exciting releases which could change the face of Android forever. Here’s what we’re excited about over the next few weeks: The release of Android L You’ve probably…
This app is for those who have reached a stage from thinking that Instagram is so cool and has so many filters to choose from; to thinking that it barely has anything. It is like a ‘been there, done that’ situation where the editing options offered by Instagram or any other basic photo editing app is not good enough anymore. MIX by Camera360 has been created by the PC World Award winning creator of Camera360 and HelloCamera, it is the most creative and comprehensive DIY photo editing…
You are always on the go, you have a stack of yellowed Penguin classics that you are dying to lay your hands on but each time you attempt beginning one, you never end up reading it beyond the first two chapters, before the real story even begins, because you schedule is too tight. Every time someone asks you that one thing you wish you could do more often, the automatic answer is reading books. You always attend all the book fairs and buy lots of reading material – old, new, fiction,…
“I want to be an astronaut when I grow up”, said my child. All I could do was smile and feel proud of the fact that my child was ambitious and wanted to become an astronaut. I just hoped that this thought of my child does not fade away with age as the child was too young to understand anything about NASA yet. It is a very common phenomenon in children to want to be something when they are young because they like the idea of it because of various reasons but their ambitions keep changing…
Looking for a new Android phone? Not sure what to buy? Overwhelmed by the combinations and possibilities? Instead of listing detailed tech specs and comparing mobile processors head-to-head, I’ve decided to take a different approach: one sentence round-ups. If you’re struggling to decide which phone to buy, then here are brief explanations of each Android device’s major selling points in 2014: Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Arguably the most powerful Android phone in terms of specs, the…
It’s 2014, but if you ask any Android user about the iPhone 6, they’ll tell you that it’s stuck in 2012. The iPhone 6’s specs are comparable to Androids released in 2012. It has poor battery life, a below-average camera, and plenty of other disappointing features. There are plenty of cool things Android can do that the iPhone cannot. Since I’m sick and tired of explaining these features to every Apple fan around me, I’ve succinctly summed up those features below: 1) Removable…
