Microsoft Excel is the industry-standard spreadsheet application. Microsoft Excel 2016 is a vast cornucopia of tools that let you manipulate, organize, analyze, and format data in a spreadsheet. Although Excel has been the lifeblood of many a corporate office, research firm, and financial outfit, Excel can be equally as handy and powerful for everyday users. Whether you are a home user managing a household budget, a small business owner managing inventory or a school teacher taking daily attendance, Excel will make your life easier if you learn to use it....

One of the methods of doing this is turning off all unnecessary Windows 10 services. This can free up system memory and cache space so that there are more resources for other applications you’re using. However, not all services are created equal. Some are critical for normal operation. In this article, you’ll learn about 12 Windows services that are completely safe to disable if you’d like to. 1. Disable Windows Defender The odds are that you already have antivirus software installed on your Windows 10 PC....

What Is It? Think of the filters in Instagram and Snapchat, but apply them to video. The app captures video and then lets you make it look vintage. What’s old is literally new again. It will also load videos already on your device. Depending on what era you want, included are 1920, Noir, the 60s, 70s, Sakura, XPro, Siena, Pela, Indigo, Tuscan, and Two-Color. As a child of the 70s, I can confirm the 70s does look realistic....

As everyone knows by now, Microsoft scrapped the traditional Start menu in Windows 8 for the new Start screen. If you’re a system admin, you want an easy way to get to the system tools like Command Prompt, Control Panel, and Disk Management – not Pictures and Weather apps. Here’s how to easily pull up a menu of power user options from the Start screen or Desktop in Windows 8....

First, open the Windows Home Server Console and set up Media Library Sharing. Click Settings then Media Sharing. Select the media types (Music, Photos and Videos) you want to share. Click OK. Next, power on your Xbox Console and verify it’s connected to your network. Wireless or Ethernet will work, but for best performance I recommend you plug in the Ethernet cable. From the main menu, select My Video Apps....

Personally, I don’t have the screen real estate or spatial cognizance need to make cascaded or tiled windows work well for me and my netbook. So, tabbed browsing in Windows Explorer would improve my quality of life tenfold. And thanks to QT TabBar, it has. QT TabBar is a nifty little Windows Explorer extension from QuizoApps (not to be confused with Quiznos apps—those little amuse-bouches that precede a hot toasty torpedo sub) that, in spite of its moniker, adds much more than tabbed browsing in Explorer....

AirDroid Remote Management To start things, sign up for a free AirDroid account. If you don’t feel like entering a bunch of data on the form, feel free to use your Twitter, Facebook, or Google account to start the process.

That will point you to the app’s address; the other option is to install the app straight from the Google Play Store....

There are a lot of rumors about what will exactly be unveiled, but whatever it is should be exciting for Apple fans. Watch the Apple Live Stream The company is going to attempt to stream an event live again – you may recall the last one was riddled with problems (the first 30 minutes or so was painful to watch). But hopefully this goes well and you can watch it live starting at The event starts at 10am PST, 12pm CST, and 1pm EST from the company’s Town Hall Auditorium in Cupertino....

Update for Apple TV The latest update for Apple TV supports iOS 10 and was officially released earlier this week on Tuesday. To update your box manually, go to Settings > System > Software Updates and select Update Software. Or, turn on Automatic Updates and then you won’t need to remember to do it. The new TV OS includes some interesting new features including support for more third-party apps, “Memories” which is an automated collection of photos based on date and location....

To me, the Asus Taichi (pictured above), seems the most interesting of the new products (the full press release can be read on the4cast, here). It’s a tablet/notebook hybrid, featuring two screens and a very interesting operating concept. It’s a laptop that has two displays (one on each side of the lid). The displays are either 13.3 or 11,6 inch and have an HD resolution. It’s very thin and can be used as an ultrabook on the internal display — the specs tend in that direction…Ivy Bridge Core i7, SSD, 4 GB RAM memory....

Old Original Article… Google+, despite what Facebook might want you to think, is a thriving social network and a good channel to gain followers for your website. Promoting articles as social media definitely helps web admins gain exposure and popularity. But sharing them on different social networks can be a time-consuming task as you have to repeat the same process for each network. To simplify this, many services allow users to post updates on Google+ and other social networks automatically; one of them is HootSuite....

Download Instagram Photos in Bulk First of all, download 4K Stogram from here and install it. The installation is done like the one for any Windows software. However, during the install make sure not to install any additional software it might try to bundle if you don’t want it. Once the software is installed, its easy to use. You just type the Instagram username of the person you want to follow and whose pictures you want to grab....

Spaces could be a Trojan horse that might somehow either become an alternative to what Facebook has become more of lately, a news feed aggregator. Using Google Spaces for iOS Google Spaces requires iOS 9.0 or later and works on iPhone, iPad and, iPod Touch. Google Spaces is a free download for iOS from the Apple iTunes Store. Spaces is built on several platforms: Google Search, YouTube, and your Photos....

My takeaway is that it’s very similar to RescueTime, but a bit more friendly. It’s sort of like if Mint.com were to get into the time management game. Chrometa automates everything that can possibly be automated while still allowing you the flexibility to sort, categorize and manually tweak entries. The big problem with most time management programs is that they end up being distractions in themselves—but once you get your rules, projects and clients set up in Chrometa, it won’t take any more than five or ten minutes out of your day....

But if you’re privacy conscious and would rather the data not be stored, it can be deleted. Here’s how to do it. Delete Fire TV Voice Recordings Note that here you can change the name of your Fire TV as well. In the dialog box that comes up, click Delete. That’s all there is to it. Whether deleting the voice recordings degrades your experience remains to be seen. So far I haven’t notices a lack in voice search performance....

Dropbox for Teams Overview Our previous review of Dropbox for Teams is a good place to start if you’re unfamiliar with the service, but the short story is this: Dropbox is one of the most popular (and in our opinion, the best) personal cloud storage services. Dropbox lets you sync all your files across the web, your desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux) and mobile devices (iPad/iPhone, Android, BlackBerry). It does so with so much simplicity that it almost feels like magic....
