Update from November 2014:
Sway Presentation Service now open to the Public. 

Sway is a new way to present content that is very easy to use to create your own custom content. A huge bonus is that it uses HTML5 and therefore is cross-platform that can be viewed from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chromebook devices. Sway uses responsive-design so that content can be created once and then will automatically re-format the content based upon the device it is view upon. This is particularly nice for content that will be viewed on mobile devices many of our students now have available.






Cindy's Pick

Bluetooth Wireless Headphones

Mike's Pick

Anker High-Capacity Portable Charger

DeepCool launches frameless RGB fans that you can control over Wi-Fi

You can use your smartphone to adjust the speed and lighting of these fans.   Fans are not overly complicated for fancy devices. They have blades that spin and push (or pull) air, and some of them light up. DeepCool has taken things a step further, however, by designing frameless RGB smart fan set that hooks into your wireless network. DeepCool's new MF120 set comes with three fans and a controller for them to plug into to. Using a free app that is available for Android and iOS, you can then connect to the controller and cycle through five built-in lighting effects (dynamic, static, breathing, comet, and fashion collision) and 36 interchangeable lighting modes, and also adjust the speed. We're not sure there is a whole lot of utility for controlling your case's fans with your smartphone, but if that's something you want to do, there you go. The fans themselves are uniquely designed. They're frameless in the sense that they don't sit enclosed in a traditional fra...

Best PC Configuration under Rs 25000

Today I'll be posting a PC configuration under Rs 25000 as this is not only the most popular budget segment but also is the bare minimum you need to get yourself an up to date configuration. Before I proceed further I'd like to mention a few points to give you a clear picture as to what to expect from this configuration - This configuration is aimed at daily to office use along with helping school kids for their school project etc The build should be future proof and should last the user for over a year or two without any upgrade. Upgrade should be easy and economical with minimum change of components. It should be balanced over all with all the components in sync & at par without overpowering or unde...
