Give your smartphone or tablet a fully functional clipboard

Image
Just like desktop and laptop computers, all smart phones and tablets have a rudimentary clipboard that allows you to “copy” and “paste” text from one app to another. Unfortunately, that’s about all you can do with it. Even worse, the contents of the clipboard are overwritten every time you “copy” something else. The good news is you can download a clipboard app that will give your phone a fully functional clipboard. Also Read :  How to back up your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to your iCloud account Most of the available apps allow you to copy and store multiple snippets which you can then paste into any app, at any time.  There are several great clipboard apps available for both iOS and Android devices. The ones I like best are Clipper (for Android) and Clips (for Apple iOS). Simply download the app that works with your device. Like this post? If so, I hope you’ll consider sharing it with your friends.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to your iCloud account

Image
Just as with a traditional laptop or desktop computer, it’s important to always have a current backup on hand for your mobile devices in case you ever have to restore your files. Thanks to Apple’s popular cloud storage service known as iCloud, keeping your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch backed up is as easy as 1-2-3. And trust me, there will come a time when you will need it. Here’s how to enable automatic iCloud backups on your Apple device:  1 – Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network. 2 – Tap the Settings icon to launch the Settings app. 3 – Tap the iCloud icon. 4 – Tap  Backup . 5 – Toggle the  iCloud Backup setting to the On position.   Also Read : Great news: You can install Adobe Lightroom on your iOS and Android devices for free!

Warning: Apple will soon start ‘analyzing’ your iCloud data and personal files

Image
Apple is planning to release iOS 10.3 before long, and with that update will come several significant changes to the operating system. I believe most of those changes will be good ones, but there’s one that concerns me. Beginning with iOS 10.3, Apple will start “analyzing” your iCloud data to “help them improve intelligent features and services such as Siri and other similar or related services. ” In a nutshell, that means Apple will soon start scanning your email, your notes, your contacts, your photos, your calendar, Keychain, Find My iPhone, your iTunes items and all the various files you have stored on iCloud.  What’s more, if your device is running the recently released iOS 10.3 beta, they’re already scanning those items from your iCloud account as we speak. You might disagree, but this new “iCloud Analytics” program sounds fairly ominous to me. Of course Apple is promising to “analyze” your most personal dat...

Great news: You can install Adobe Lightroom on your iOS and Android devices for free!

Image
Adobe Lightroom has long been recognized as one of the world’s best photo editing programs. In fact, I often recommend it over the full-blown Adobe Photoshop program for those who don’t really need Photoshop’s powerful graphic design capabilities. In a nutshell, Lightroom is a lean, yet powerful program that includes all the best image editing capabilities of Photoshop without all the extras that many users will never need or use. While Lightroom is a lot cheaper than Photoshop, if you want to install it on your computer it’ll still cost you a considerable amount in most cases. But now you can install it on your mobile device for free!  Adobe’s free Lightroom app lets you edit photos like a pro right on your iOS or Android phone or tablet. It’s packed with many of the full-blown Lightroom program’s features and capabilities, including support for RAW files. With the Lightroom app, you’ll be able to manage the entire creative pro...

Streaming vs. Downloading: Which One Should You Use

Image
When you see a movie or an audio file online, you can either stream it live or download it locally and watch/listen to it from there. If you are on an unmetered broadband plan, you hardly care about bandwidth, but if you pay per use, or if you are the owner of a website with lots of videos/audios, then you are probably wondering if streaming an online video/audio consumes more data than downloading the file outright. 1. What Is Streaming and What Is Downloading? First, let’s make sure we have the same idea about what streaming and downloading are. When you download a file, you copy it from the Internet onto your local device. You physically have the file, the whole of it, at your disposal. You can play it as many times you like. When you stream a file, you don’t physically have it on your computer. The file is somewhere on a server, and you are receiving portions (i.e. streams of data) of it at a time. Streaming is very similar to listening to the radio or watch...

My last post is about Iot . In which I have introduced you all about Iot but the main problem is arising with this technology is Security. When we connect all objects with internet ( Iot technology ) then what about our security? Is it be secure? If yes then Okay but what will we do if answer is NO. In this post we will learn about how we our information on internet will be secure in Iot technology. This process to make user's information secure is known as Information Security i.e. the state of being protected against the unauthorized use of information, especially electronic data, or the measures taken to achieve this. In the short form it is also known as InfoSec ( Info rmation Sec urity). How it Works? Whatever a user gives information to internet it is in Plain Text. If  unfortunately any unauthorized user got your information in Plain Text then they will know everything whatever information present in it and your security will not be secure. So, to remove this proble...
