The Interface One reason Gmail is my email of choice when handling business is because of the well organized labeling features. Sparrow, as a Gmail application, works well with incorporating the labeling into the application, something that many email applications don’t offer. The interface of Sparrow is very reminiscent of Facebook, a bit too much. This isn’t necessary a bad thing and actually seems perfect for navigating the various inboxes, folders, and labels that make up my Gmail account....

Here we compare the two giants of music streaming to help you decide which one’s for you. Despite our fighting talk in the title, this is unbiased and nuanced, as both services have their pros and cons that make them better or worse for different users.

First Impressions From the start, it is very obvious that Sugar is very specialized. I’m using the Fedora SoaS (Sugar on a Stick) Spin, which is designed to just be flashed to a USB stick and used that way, but the point stands. It’s clearly specialized and made to be used a particular way. Icons are large, the cursor is enormous, and it’s supposed to be easy to use for a young child....

Installation If you are using 32-bit Linux, all you have to do is to download the tar file (from here) and extract it to your Home folder. After the extraction, simply double-click on the “SuperFlexibleSynchronizer” file to run it.

Currently, the Sweatcoins (SWC) you earn in the app are only redeemable for items from the in-app store. Despite the name, it’s not a cryptocurrency, though it has plans to become one. Dedicated walkers can still get some tangible rewards, anything from a gym membership to an iPhone X. Alternatively, you could take a shortcut and join the thriving Sweatcoin market, where you can trade each coin for a few cents (USD)....

Installation While tasksel is used in the Ubuntu installer (the text-mode server installer, at least), it isn’t installed by default. It can be installed from the Software Centre, or with the following: Usage The best way to get a feel for tasksel is to just run it with no arguments. It’s a command-line program, but even in the terminal you’ll be presented with a graphical list of avaialble tasks to install (if you’ve ever installed in text-mode, such as from the server CD, the following screen will look familiar): Using this screen, you can use the “Tab” key to jump through the options (hit space if you land on one you want to install), then when the “OK” button is highlighted, hit the space bar....

The utter debacle that was the ‘Verified Fan’ pre-sale for the Taylor Swift ‘Eras’ tour – which was supposed to allow qualifying fans the chance to buy before the free-for-all public sale – saw the mighty Ticketmaster site come crashing down. Fans were stuck in queues for hours, only to find the box office was barren when they eventually reached the front. Some who’d received Verified codes were unable to access the queue at all....

1. DOS 4.0, or MS-DOS Yeah, we know that the Disk Operating System (DOS) wasn’t invented by Microsoft, but they made their own version of it to suit their file system and structure. Released in 1988, MS-DOS was a very strong improvement over previous versions of DOS. Even with the improvements, Microsoft introduced new bugs into the system, making it difficult to operate and frustrating for most people who used this software on a daily basis....

You can skip straight down to our picks if you like, but if you’re new, I recommend reading the sections below first. How Roster Size Can Impact Your Experience Roster size is a big deal, especially in our modern era of fighting games. Some players only want to see rosters expand with new characters and new opportunities as time goes on. But if you’re a newcomer or looking to compete at a high level, a large roster can seem rather daunting, especially if it’s the kind of game where knowledge of specific character matchups is of high importance....

Optimize Your Timing Social media moves at a fast pace, which means timing is everything for engagement. Poorly-timed posts don’t end up in people’s feeds, which means your social media posts don’t get the engagement they need to thrive. Therefore, it’s important to know the best times to post on each platform and understand your audience enough to realize when they’re most active on each social media platform. In general, the best times to post on each social media platform are as follows:...

What Does x86 Mean Anyway? Intel processors found in desktop and laptop computers are sometimes referred to as “x86” processors. This can be a little confusing if you’ve ever noticed your two Program Files folders on Windows. Windows 7, 8 and 10 refer to their 32-bit programs with the term “x86,” and their 64-bit programs (in some contexts) as “x64.” That isn’t strictly accurate. 64-bit-capable processors should be referred to as x86-64, but it’s a lot clunkier....

Yahoo, as opposed to killing this feature as others have been doing, is choosing to move in the opposite direction, announcing that it has been busy revamping and improving its My Yahoo home pages for all customers who wish to take advantage of the service. In fact, the search company actually is holding out open arms to welcome disenfranchised Google users. Getting Started As you can see, there are a number of options to choose from – over the years, Yahoo has purchased countless services, including some very popular ones like Flickr....

But when you get to the pro level, especially if you’re doing web development, you realize just how powerful the command line can be. I’ve been a big fan of services like Yeoman that let me set up a Bootstrap environment, ready with a local server in just a couple of minutes. Doing everything manually would take much longer, and I’d be doing the same mundane tasks over again. The command line helps me basically automate a lot of it....
