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.

If it's a single file or folder you'd like to compress, right-click it and a menu will pop up. Click "Send to," and then click "Compressed (Zipped) Folder." You can also select multiple files or folders in Explorer, and then follow the same steps above to compress them simultaneously. Windows compresses the fi...
