Update Windows Before checking your system, I would recommend you check and update Windows.

CommaFeed is an open source project that can be used on the Web, as well as through extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.

In this post we will show you how you can make the Command Prompt look better.

Change the Command Prompt Color The first thing anyone wants to get rid of is the black and white interface of the Command Prompt. You can easily change the color of both the background and text of the Command Prompt from its properties....

Why These Terms Are Mixed Together Security and privacy are often talked about as though they are the same thing. This confusion is often because of the internal associations we make with the companies that provide us with online services. For example, we assume that a company with highly secure servers can guarantee our privacy. If a software developer says that they’re using ultra-uber-safe encryption, we consider that the information we share will be kept private because hackers can’t access it....

Thankfully, all you need is just one command line in Terminal to help protect your privacy when it comes to email and attachments in Mac OS X.

When you want your attachment previews back, copy and paste this line into Terminal....

Although there have been cases like EvilGnome, a piece of malware that made headlines last year for infecting Linux desktops, they are ultra-rare. The short answer is that thanks to being more securely designed, better maintained, and, truth be told, less popular, Linux ends up being safer than Windows.

Enlightenment First Impressions The thing that strikes me first is the extremely unique interface. There is a zooming dock built in, a huge 4×3 virtual desktop grid in the top-right corner, and a relatively modern and competent icon theme. The icons are also animated, and the background rotates a few times each minute. I’ve never used anything quite like Enlightenment. User Experience The user experience reminds me of early versions of Mac OS X....

How It Works When using the term “wireless charging,” it somehow seems like you will be able to charge your phone at any distance from the charging unit.

Scribble Scribble is an attractive web app with contrasting colors and a manageable grid layout.

Notes can be as long as you want, but only the beginnings are visible from the home page. Notes can be color-coordinated and re-ordered as desired, and they’re all accessible even when you’re offline. The editing page removes most of the extra text from the interface, leaving you alone with nothing except a virtual notepad and your thoughts....

Unfortunately, a way to perform this task on the mobile version hasn’t been found yet....

Using Headings In order to make a table, we need to “tell” Google Docs how to construct it. Google Docs isn’t quite advanced enough to automatically know how to construct a decent table of contents via your writing alone. We need to let it know where our chapters and sub-chapters are so it can properly format its table of contents. This is done by using the “Headings” formatting in a document....
