For example, if you’re making a company report and want the company logo on every page, instead of using your editing software to manually add it to every page, you can simply watermark the final PDF file....
Hardware Capabilities Microsoft Windows 7 Phone hasn’t done much in the department of hardware, and the other two competitors – iOS and Android – have far surpassed anything Microsoft came up with on that phone. Apple’s iOS has dual-core compatibility, for example, and so does Android. In fact, Android goes a step further, allowing for peripheral memory like microSD.

Specifically, it means the ability to have a single atom read as a “1” or “0” within a traditional magnetic hard-drive. In previous years it took several hundred thousand atoms to store the same amount of information, and chances are that’s how your current hard drive works. According to the researchers themselves, it’s also quite unlikely that we’ll see to-the-atom storage in consumer products anytime soon, thanks to the very extreme conditions required to pull off this amazing feat....

Mobile Devices on a Flight Aren’t as Dangerous as We’re Led to Believe The FAA put together the Portable Electronic Devices Advisory and Rulemaking Committee that has studied the issue, including getting recommendations from over a dozen officials who believe that Wi-Fi in particular cannot during any portion of a flight cause an issue with on-board navigation. Earlier in 2013, several independent groups published reports suggesting that using Wi-Fi capable devices should be allowed between take-off and landing, but the FAA is taking that data, along with what it’s collected, and is taking it further by recommending there’s no issue with using Wi-Fi during an entire flight....
