That makes using the device easy, but it also can invite unwelcome users accessing it. To prevent unwanted intrusions, you can set it to lock when it’s asleep and require login creds when it wakes up. To do that, head to Settings > Screen lock and sign-in under the “People” section....

Every time an app is closed, iOS takes a screenshot. When the app is started back up the screenshot is briefly shown while the real app loads in the background. To anyone using this system it will just appear like the app instantly loads, but in reality it is a splash of a screenshot that hides the actual loading. It’s really quite clever, and the feature is hidden well enough that most people don’t even think about it....

Windows Live Photo Gallery can keep track of photo information, such as date taken and location, but in my opinion, Google Picasa 3 does a better job for batch renaming of files. This is because it lets you automatically include the date taken and resolution in the filename, which may be helpful for a massive digital library with different sizes of the same photo (e.g. thumbnail, medium, original). In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Picasa’s very groovy batch renaming feature....
THE BAD: Comic Sans You probably shouldn’t be too surprised seeing Comic Sans on this list. Before we get to the negative side, let’s get the positives out of the way. Yes, it’s a free and casual style font that isn’t meant to be taken seriously. Yes, it is also one of the few fonts approved for use for Dyslexics by the British Dyslexia Association (BDA). That’s great until suddenly everyone decides to use it for everything....
In an effort to reduce the amount of physical stuff I have, I had a thought: what If I could just take my Windows 10 laptop, remove the hard drive, and boot it on my Mac Mini? I’m not talking about installing Windows 10 on a Mac Using Boot Camp or installing a fresh Windows 10 VM on a Mac. What I wanted to do was plug my hard drive into my Mac, fire it up, and have it be like I’m sitting in front of my old laptop, but you know, not have to keep my old laptop around....

So, when the moon rolls around this afternoon, my plan is to do what so many annoying concert-goers have done before me and mediate my own experience through a tiny screen: my iPhone. If you read enough articles, you’ll find smatterings of advice to make sure you use special solar filters on your camera or put eclipse glasses in front of your camera lens when taking pictures. “Better safe than sorry,” they say....

Earlier this week I talked about the upgrade of the Delicious Bookmarking service that allows users to post their bookmarks and comments to their Twitter page. Well, after using it for a few days and testing out the new features it appears as though they might have left a few settings set to their default values when calling the Twitter API: As you can see in the screenshot above, instead of saying something like “From Delicious” and linking you back to Delicious, each post to Twitter only says “From API” which then links you over to http://apiwiki....

That’s where it gets sticky. Despite all the learned explanations that followed the announcement, I was getting a headache trying to understand the Higgs boson–until I stumbled across an animated cartoon produced by PhD Comics....
