Although this is helpful at times, for the most part, a lot of people are paranoid about the fact that their personal data is always constantly being looked upon.

Of these, one such problem is when you have to deal with multiple PDF files — that too individual ones — where you need to edit and transform them into a single PDF, or where you need to extract some part of a PDF file and merge it into another PDF file. In either case, though, if you are a Mac user, you have a few different ways to combine PDFs....

Guest Post by Lior. Whether you have a love it or hate it, you have to admit that Twitter is a very important tool that should be used by all Internet professionals, bloggers and businesses.

Transparency Mode can be accessed not in one or two but three different ways (at least!).

If you are using them with an Android device, then the first method is the only one which will work)...

Depending on the country and city you live in, you most probably have at least a few cafes, shops, malls and restaurants that offer free Wi-Fi. While you may already know how to take care of your personal details, such as usernames and passwords, there is a little more to staying safe than that. Wi-Fi hotspots available in libraries, coffee shops, hotels, airports, shopping centers and universities are terribly convenient, but the bad thing about them is that they’re not secure....

Similarly, if you have a large screen monitor or a multiple monitor setup hooked to your computer, you can leverage the extended screen estate to use multiple apps at once and get a lot more done. Unlike Apple, which restricts the number of apps you can run side-by-side on Mac (using split view) to just two, and thus requires users to use third-party window manager apps, Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system offers different split-screen options natively to allow you to work with multiple apps (or instances of apps) at once....

As the name suggests, Walkie Talkie is a feature that turns your Apple Watch into a Walkie-Talkie quite literally and allows you to send voice messages by holding down a button in the Walkie Talkie app on your Apple watch....

To give a quick explainer on the process — what we are essentially trying to do with this method is to leverage the potential of Wi-Fi and the built-in share utility found on both Windows and Mac. So, in order for us to be able to share files from Windows to Mac (or vice-versa), the first thing we need to ensure is that both machines are connected to the same Wi-Fi network....

But we want more than that. Our devices have batteries and those batteries are still quite poor, unless a fuell cell revolution will rescue us. For those that are afraid they might run off battery juice when they’re on a trip, Spare One Phone claims to have more than 10 years of battery life! But our devices get more powerful, thus more battery consuming, so how are we going to solve this issue?...

And HTC has a heck of a job convincing people to pay $199 for a gadget like this. RE comes with a 16-MegaPixel camera with a very wide-angle (146 degree) f2....
