But the changed icons isn’t the only thing – you would feel that you’re running a different OS altogether, and not the Android version your smartphone is running in. This is because the best iPhone launcher apps can successfully mask the Android OS.

Here are some of the popular iPhone launchers for Android phones that you can download from the Google Play Store and start experiencing iOS from your Android device.

1. One Launcher

The one app that tops the list is the One Launcher. It is one of the most popular iOS launcher apps and highly rated on the Google Play store with more than a hundred thousand downloads. One launcher is free to download and gives the users an exact feel of how iOS works and the best thing about this app is that it’s not bloated with annoying ads.

The interface is very similar to icons which are not an exact copy but very close to the iOS icons. There are an easy swipe and move options for all the icons on the screen. There are smart widgets options which add display clock on the screen.

You can play with various settings, preferences and download themes from the ‘One Tools’ folder. It also allows you to enable ‘Single Hand’ mode for easy access to all the apps with one hand.

This app is very light weight and fast. Along with this, the background effects are similar to that of iPhone – the new blur effect for example. For easy mobilisation and exact similarity the keyboard should be adjusted to look like iPhone, which will give an experience unforgettable.

This app gives your phone a new refreshing iPhone like look while packing tons of useful features too. With an average rating of 4.3 iLauncher 7 is installed on more than hundred thousands fones.

The first thing that will catch your attention is the look of the App icons and the different look of your phones settings. The feel and display is not the only thing that is related, it is also a fast app and keeps the phone performance at par.

But you have deal with some ads every now and then which is sometimes annoying.

4. iLauncher OS 9

As opposed to the iLauncher app, this one is free to download and enjoys a higher number of user reviews and rating on the Google Play Store. While you do not exactly have the 3D Touch feature like the iPhone, you could make the apps ‘buzz’ when you push the icons on the screen.

iOS Launcher 9

This is a great app for iPhone experience and has an iPhone-fy lock screen. You do not have to download a separate app for it. The app is full of advertisement and a no add version of the app is not yet available. Also, it is not as customizable as many of the other apps in the list.

5. 6 Plus iOS Launcher

The name is derived from the new iPhone 6 and thus it is easy to understand that the app gives similar user feel as of Apple iPhone 6. It is a free application and highly rated from the ones who love iPhone 6 features but unfortunately it’s loaded with lot’s of ads.

6 Plus Launcher

It is not a replica, though, but it provides a lot of similar features and also keeps the phone performance in mind. You have interesting wallpapers to choose from and the My app screen makes mobility on the screen an easy and fun job.

6. Pro 8 iPhone Launcher

It is a great app for people who likes their phone clutter free. The launcher has a Pin lock feature which keeps your phone content safe without having to download another app for it.

Pro 8 Launcher

While you cannot use the fingerprint capabilities like in your iPhone, if your Android smartphone does not support it, the pin lock feature is exactly like the one in an iPhone.

The app is great for Android smartphones with low space also as it is just a few MB’s in size.

7. OS9 Launcher

This one is the most recommended app that can convert your Android user interface to the feel of iPhone interface. The app gives the phone a complete look of iPhone with its icons and use.

OS9 Launcher

The icons are astonishingly similar to that of iPhone regarding size, look and use. This also does not interfere with the Androids best, and the widgets can be used along with added an iPhone look and feel which makes it a great app.

Which One Should You Get?

While you might want to get yourself of a free iPhone launcher app, you might just want to get hold of an app that has most of the features you need. The One Launcher for instance, is one of the best apps that you could find in terms of the features offered, but the iLauncher Plus and iLauncher 7 is also good and quite popular. Although the list contains 7 launcher apps but we recommend that you choose one from the top 3 apps because the rest contain ads.

The right iOS launchers can transform your Android experience to an iPhone one, and you can experience the best of both worlds. If I have missed out any good app then please share it in the comments below and I will try to add it to the list.

Inaccessible Boot Device is a BSOD error that occurs in Windows when it can’t access the system partition for any reason. You are probably seeing this error in your Windows 7 or 8 computer or maybe after upgrading to Windows 10 from your previous OS. But whatever the reason is, we will now try to solve the issue.

Fixing Inaccessible Boot Device Error

I have listed the best three solutions that worked for many people who were facing the ‘Inaccessible_Boot_Device’ error on their Windows computer. Check them below.

Solution 1: Removing The 2nd Drive

If you have an SSD as your primary drive along with an HDD or two HDDs then turn off your computer and remove the HDD or the second HDD (that are not boot drives) and then check if the system boots properly with only the boot drive connected.

If it doesn’t then check the video below to see how you can reset your computer externally with a Windows DVD. The procedure is almost same for both Windows 8 and 10.

After the reset if everything runs properly, you can connect your other drives.

Solution 2: Using Command Line

If you can boot into Windows after the restart then open ‘Command Prompt’ with Admin privilege by searching ‘cmd’ in the Windows search box. Now type in the command line given below and press Enter. Replace (C:) with the letter of your primary drive if it’s anything other than C.

chkdsk C: /f

Now the thing is that you can’t run check disk on a drive that you are currently using. So windows will prompt a scheduled check disk. Select ‘Run on next Restart’ and then click on ‘Schedule CHKDSK’ and then restart your computer.

Check Disk Scheduling

Now after the restart Windows will check your primary drive for error and fix it if needed.

Solution 3: System Restore

If you have previously created any system restore point then you can try this method. You will need your Windows DVD or System repair disk for it.

=> Boot your computer while your Windows DVD or System Repair Disc is in the optical drive.

=> When “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD” text appears, Press any key.

=> Now select the correct time and the keyboard type.

=> After that click ‘Repair your computer’ from lower left corner.

=> The select ‘Troubleshoot’ from Choose an option screen.

=> In Troubleshoot screen, click on ‘Advanced options’

=> Now select ‘System Restore’.

Please note that when you use System Restore to restore the computer to a previous position, all the programs and updates that you installed after the restore date will be removed.

The Last Resort – If none of these work for you then you may have to do a clean Windows installation using the DVD or ISO file. 

I hope at least one of this solution worked and helped you to get rid of the dreaded ‘Inaccessible Boot Device’ error. But if you are having difficulties following those solutions then please comment below and I will try to help you out.

TP-Link, which was founded in 1996, is one of the largest network product manufacturers in the world. They are currently the number one provider of WLAN products to over 120 countries. With their award winning great quality products, TP-Link managed to get trust, recognition and respect from consumers all around the world which will hopefully be that way in the future.

Best TP Link Router Reviews - The AC3200

Now when you are trying to choose the best TP-Link router, it’s a tough decision, because almost all of the TP-Link routers are quite good from their price points. But still you have to choose one that’s right for you and fits your need.

Single Band vs Dual Band and Which One You Should Get

Most households still use single band routers that are very cheap and it’s probably okay for most houses. But if you are going to buy a new router we highly recommend that you go for a dual band router for a little more money to have a better home Wi-Fi.

A dual band router supports both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz bands where the single band ones supports only 2.4 GHz band which is weaker and slower in terms of signal strength and speed than 5.0 GHz band. Most modern phones and laptops supports the 5.0 GHz band that you can use to get a robust range and speed while accessing the network from multiple devices.

Now lets jump to the reviews and find the best router to fit your need. All the routers reviewed below supports dual band and was highly consistent and reliable during their testing.

 

TP-Link Archers C9TP-Link Archer C9 (Our Choice)

The Archer C9 is currently the king of the town with a 1 GHz Dual Core processor at it’s heart. It has a great user interface and a USB 3.0 port along with a USB 2.0 port. It’s AC1900 WiFi capability is it’s key selling point with the support of 600Mbit/s transfers through 2.4GHz and 1,300Mbit/s through 5GHz.

Check Current Price On Amazon

 

 

After the TP-Links highly successful Archer C8, they decided to release a slightly improved version of it which is the Archer C9. They managed to fix some issues such as connection drop that used to happen quite often with the C8. The C9 also has a 1 GHz processor where the C8 had a 800 GHz processor.

With the elegant design of this router, it easily grabs eyeball. Although it’s not very practical because a stand router seem to tip over easily. But the chances are that you will leave it alone once you have set up everything. It’s suitable for large houses with multi-rooms.


TP-Link Archer C7TP-Link Archer C7 (Best Value)

If you are on a budget, then you can’t go wrong with the Archer C7. With a price tag of just under $100 dollars this 11 ac router offers almost the same performance of some other expensive routers. It can easily cover multi-room houses or big apartments with fast WiFi.

Check Current Price On Amazon

 

This router comes with 4 Gigabit LAN port and one Gigabit WAN port along with 2 USB 2.0 ports. Although an USB 3.0 port would be great but you can’t complain because of the price point. It also offers some great features like most TP-Link routers such as IP and Mac address filter, domain filter, DoS and SPI firewall.

The design of this dual band router is not so bad. Those three 5dbi 5GHz antennas can provide a solid range with very minimal dead zones in most medium to large houses. It has 11 indicator lights to monitor power, WiFi signal, network connection, USB and so on. But the bad thing is that you can’t turn off this light show which is maybe annoying to some users.


TP-Link AC1200TP-Link AC1200 (Best Around $50)

If you are very but still want a dual band AC router  to power your house, then this router is for you. Despite being very cheap, this router will still provide you with most of the features of it’s expensive cousins. But it comes with Fast Ethernet ports instead of Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Check Current Price On Amazon
 

 

This is the cheapest TP-Link router with 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology and dual band support. It can provide you upto 867Mbps of speed through 5GHz and 300Mbps through 2.4GHz. Guest Network & Parental Controls are available like it’s other cousins. It also has 4 Fast Ethernet ports along with one USB 2.0 port.

The AC1200 is a pretty simple but nice looking router. It’s suitable for small to medium sized houses. The signal strength is also very consistent like most TP Link routers. It’s also a great choice to replace the router provided by your ISP that are usually crappy.


TP LINK AC3200TP-LINK AC3200 (For Enthusiasts)

This router might be overkill for most houses but a good choice for Enthusiasts. This tri-band router contains a dual core processor along with 3 other co-processors to handle the 3 bands and many devices at once. The 6 antennas provide robust range.

Check Current Price On Amazon

 

The AC3200 comes with support of three bands that work sententiously allowing multiple devices to connect without compromising the performance. This router is one of the best TP Link routers and suitable for office use or large households where streaming media and heavy gaming is very frequent.

The design of this router stands out from the crowd and a thing to show off. The 6 antennas can cover up large multi-story houses with no dead zones. It’s much much better than the D-Link and Netgear routers that are similarly priced.

So, which one should you buy?

If you are not on a budget but also don’t wanna spend a fortune then we highly recommend that you go for the Archer C9. It has the features and performance of some other routers that cost twice as much as the C9.

On the other hand the Archer C7 is very similar to the Archer C9 in terms of performance and features but cost much less which makes it best performance per dollar router. If you want performance but can’t spend more than $100 dollars then this router is for you.

The AC 1200 is the entry level dual band ac router which is not so bad for the price. It’s for those who are on a really tight budget but still don’t want to compromise performance and features.

Now the AC 3200 may not be suitable for for everyone but if you have the money then you can go for it to get. It’s a great choice for office use or households that uses many devices to stream media or heavy gaming.

I hope this TP-Link router review post helped you to decide your next router. But if you are still not convinced or not sure which one to get or have any question regarding any of the routers, then please comment below and we will answer to help you out.

C310 also has an inbuilt microphone that has the ability to isolate noise. Although the microphone is tiny, it has good sound quality. It also does a great job in auto-correcting low or bright light. The webcam may not have perfect images since fine lines particularly come out jagged. However this does not become an issue when the images are restricted to a lesser panel when chatting.

The webcam’s refresh is also brilliant with barely any of the delay that often renders video chats upsetting. An extra perk of this camera is that it works great in both OS X and Windows without need for any added driver installs. It also comes with calibration software with the capacity to zoom and pan. However, like you would anticipate from a webcam of this price, it has an optical not digital zoom and this can result in some loss of image quality.

Microsoft HD-3000 (2nd Budget Choice)

Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 The small but dominant webcam sits discreetly on the top of your laptop screen or monitor. The LifeCam HD-3000’s 720p video feed appears not only fantastic but can also capture widescreen footage. It is therefore ideal when you have several people who would love to appear in the image. The webcam’s video is quite good with even the minor particulars being reproduced vividly. Colors and skin tones are quite natural and even the low-light the quality is just  awesome. The LifeCam HD-3000 has a microphone that is great at picking up voices from afar.

Its stand is quite adaptable and fits all monitors. The LifeCam HD-3000’s flexibility and ease of use is one of the major areas that Microsoft webcams have bested Logitech.

As a Microsoft webcam, you can download its software automatically on Windows. Although, the LifeCam HD-3000 does not appear so budget, technically being in the $25-30 price range, you get the best quality at such a low price.

Microsoft LifeCam Studio (Also Great)

Microsoft Lifecam StudioThe LifeCam Studio is another true full HD video that comes in at 1080p for photo stills and video recording.

Additionally, if you wish to position it on a tripod, you can easily do that too using the standard screw attachment.

Check Current Price on Amazon

Although this webcam may not look good, do not let its looks put you off. The superb camera is capable of giving you awesome video footage. The webcam can take 1080p widescreen material and has autofocus that allows for brilliant video eminence. However, when you run the video at complete 1080p HD with the enhanced reality effects on, your PC’s CPU consumption is likely to spike. The video’s frame rate also drops.

It also has a microphone that isolates noise so you do not need an additional one for video calls. Microsoft has incorporated its TrueColor technology with this webcam together with the glass lens cover designed to do well in odd lighting thus keeping the images nice and clear.

The technology in the webcam also allows face tracking which automatically regulates light exposure in vibrant and bright videos. The LifeCam Studio works well on both Windows 7 and 8 and id ideal for video uploading and blogging to YouTube.

Although this flexible base allows it to sit on hard surfaces and also on both on desks and monitors, you can only adjust this webcam vertically. As a result, users cannot swivel right or left when it is placed on a monitor. However, its capacity to stand on a flat surface gives the webcam complete freedom of movement and this compensates its inability to rotate horizontally.

7 Best Sites Like Reddit You Probably Don’t Know About

Where do you go to once Reddit has bored you? Perhaps you might be interested in Reddit alternatives that are equally addictive and interesting to spend your time on. You see, these sites were created to help you know the best and worst things happening around the world. Users submit different links, thereby providing all types of information you may need. In fact, Reddit has something to offer regardless of who you are or what you might consider interesting.

Reddit Alternatives Logo

These sites give like-minded people a chance to hang out together in a meaningful way. Once you open a site like Reddit, it’s hard to leave. And the simple reason for this is that there is so much user-generated content that keeps people busy, even the whole day.

Being the Reddit addict that you are, you might have also decided to explore other sites like Reddit that could give you what the site is already offering, but in a better fashion. Thankfully, you can find those alternatives below here. Let’s get the list rolling:

1. Newsvine – It shares the same characteristics as Reddit

Most people spend their time on this site because they want to find out interesting content and engage with it as well. Actually, users can comment and vote on the news articles. And if you’re handy with words, they will publish your piece, giving you a huge exposure in the Newsvine community. The site actually hosts thousands of visitors a day.

Most articles here are what we call Self-constrained. This means you don’t have to leave the site in order to read the article in full elsewhere.

They’ve also incorporated what they call ‘’Seed feature’’. This is nothing more than a button which you can install on your browser, just in case you are curious enough to want to read articles from sources where they were originally published.

2. Voat.co – very similar to Reddit

They will never admit this fact. But looking at it the first time, you get a feeling that they borrowed most of the design elements from Reddit. Other than the unique twist they’ve added here and there, it’s a copy and paste case to form what we call Voat.

Rather than having subreddits, Voat has subverses. But other than the few name changes which they have used to set it apart from Reddit, everything else looks pretty the same. You can check it out as well.

3. Digg – another perfect alternative for Reddit

They collect the best of the web and bring it together on the homepage. What we like about this site is that it always puts the most voted pieces first for everyone to read.

Digg is similar to Reddit but has a cleaner and neater UI. With such a clutter-less user interface combined with convenient navigation features, you can actually concentrate on the stuff you want to read and then ignore the rest. The best thing about Digg is that they will never promote anything that is not worth reading, so rest assured that entertainment is in plenty.

4. Quora – we love this site as the best Q&A platform

New Q&A sites keep popping up on the internet, and they all claim to be the NBT (Next big thing). Rather than doing what they have promised, they start doing what other new sites do to generate traffic.

You will not see pictures of cute dogs and cats at Quora. Instead, what you will see is questions followed by very sober answers. In fact, Quora seems to be the best place on the web to invest or waste time at.
The site has a lot of veterans forming a community of ready answers. To add to this, they have an intelligent voting system that will only keep the best answers at the top. It’s definitely a thumb up!

5. Hacker news – for tech enthusiasts who are into hacking

This site is like Reddit in several ways, although it’s geared more towards tech enthusiasts who love hacking topics. Again, it publishes startup topics on a regular basis.

Nevertheless, it is good to know that this site covers other topics as well. What you will not find here is funny threads or posts as this is strictly a no-nonsense website that only publishes valuable information for those who are interested in these topics.

6. StumbleUpon – discover awesome stuff on the internet

As the name says it, you can stumble upon some awesome and great content submitted by other users. This site is a great choice to kick off boredom. The posts you find here are totally random but you may find them to be very interesting. Here, you can keep stumbling all day, like or dislike stories and save them to read later.

7. Mashable – tech and social media news blog

Whether you’re into technology, social media, web development, gaming, videos, or entertainment topics, this is your one-stop shop for all your needs. Mashable is popular for covering anything new about innovation and invention, although they occasionally write about other topics as well.

If you are a newbie, all this information may seem overwhelming, unlike what you find on Reddit. However, you are guaranteed ease of navigation in order to find what you’re looking for. There was a need to do so in order to make it easier for visitors to filter out content and only choose what they want to read and follow. You actually follow and leave the rest to happen.

For those who live by the entrepreneurial spirit, this site is a must. But if you are a casual browser, you can make use of their Must-Read section which highlights all the important things you’d like to set your eyes on.

You ought to explore this list by all means if you are a fan of Reddit. Interesting content is a guarantee depending on the niche you’re into. If you know of any other interesting sites like Reddit, then please comment below with the link.

7 Best Apps Like Snapchat for Android & iOS

Snapchat is one of the communication applications that have grown tremendously in most app stores. Till date, the app still receives numerous downloads daily. So, what makes snap chat this popular? It does not only offer the chatting facility like other traditional chatting apps, but it offers a lot more than that. It makes it possible for users to send photos and videos.

SnapChat Logo

However, the snaps or videos are only live for some time, after which they will have vanished automatically from the receiver’s end. This is what makes snap chat unique by providing complete security and privacy.

There are several Snapchat alternatives which are available for iPhone and Android users. Here are the 7 best apps like Snapchat which offer unique chatting features to its users:

1. Burn Note

For: Android and iOS

Burn Note is an app that offers privacy just like Snapchat. It enables users to communicate to their friends securely, and their conversations are automatically deleted after some time. At this juncture, the chat is no longer available anywhere. The sender, however, is required to set timer settings so that as soon as the recipient opens the message, the timer starts automatically. However, the software does not allow sending of images and videos yet.

Burn Note’s Website claims that they do not have binary logging. This means that there are no standby servers. Therefore, there are no copies of the conversations either. The firm uses a storage engine that does not have journaling capabilities. It has an underlying file system that logs metadata but not the content of the notes themselves. It is also tough for recipients to quickly copy the contents of the conversation.

2. Yovo

For: Android and iOS

What makes this app preferred is that it overcomes the main shortcoming of snap chat. While on snap chat a user can screenshot your messages, and then you are notified that they tried doing so, this is not possible on yovo. In case a user attempts to take a screenshot of a message sent through Yovo, the screen becomes blurred, such that the screenshot becomes useless.

This technology is known as D-Fence. The technique was developed by Scott Richardson. This feature has made Yovo more secure and private to use. However, Yovo is not yet available for Android users.

3. Wiper

For: iOS and Android

One look at the Wiper surface may tempt you to assume that it is just like other messaging apps. However, a closer look at the top right will help you realize that it is more than that. There is a button that reads “wipe.” With the push of that button, the entire conversation will be deleted. Now, the good part is that it is not only deleted in your phone but in all other devices; that is, the recipient’s device.

An added step to the deletion is that wiper will also wipe off the contents from their serves. Just like in snap chat, you will also be alerted when another user takes a screenshot of your conversation. Also, it also allows users to search and share YouTube videos with other users.

4. Wickr

For Android, iOS and Windows Phone

Wickr, which is pronounced as wicker, is an instant messenger that allows end-to-end encoded and volatile messages. Users can send texts, videos, files, and pictures. It is an alternative for snap chat since messages sent on wickr are self-destructive and vanish after a few minutes. You can also sned media files to your connections without leaving a trace. It also allows users to edit images and add filters to images before sending them. The developer company is based in San Fransisco, and it started in 2012 as simply a unique and engaging messenger. Those who have used this app claim that it is the most secure IM available. This is commendable, considering the recent increase in cyber-crimes.

5. Clipchat

For: iOS and Android

Clipchat is another app that works like snap chat, by enabling users to send self-vanishing photos with a simple-touch interface. It has an elegant interface and is much simpler as compared to snap chat and most of the other messaging apps. When you send a photo through clip chat, the image first appears blurred. When the recipient clicks on it, an animation effect appears, and the image can now be seen clearly. Though the default in snap chat is photo sharing, that of clip chat is video sharing. You will also be informed if the recipient tries to take a screenshot of your message.

6. Slingshot

For: iOS and Android

Slingshot is another instant messaging app that is an alternative to snapshot. Users are allowed to send temporary messages. The unique thing about slingshot is that one can respond to your friend’s media by creating your funky and cool videos or photos. After you click video or photo, you are offered two options. The first one is to reshoot in case you do not like the capture. The other is the draw which only means that you are cool with the outcome and ready to send it. It is awesome, and it works without any edges. Its interface is not fancy but rather quite simple.

7. Cyberdust

For: Android and iOS

Cyberdust is an extremely useful instant messenger that has amazing features. Apart from its ability to send self-destructive images, it also has other features that make it awesome. Apart from the images, you can also send stickers, URL’s, stickers, animations and GIFs, which will disappear after a few minutes. The app also allows users to pin sent messages so that they can remember the conversation. Cyberdust is also reliable when it comes to security since all media sent through it are encrypted to avoid unauthorized use. It notifies the sender in case the recipient takes a screenshot of the message. Also, one is allowed to send a message to multiple users through a feature called Blast message.

There are numerous legit reasons why you want to have an off the record conversation. If you are looking forward to having more secure communications, you now know how to. For those who are thinking about leaving snap chat or just want to explore other options, these seven apps like Snapchat are worth trying out!

While most of us have used Torrents at one point of time or the other, many do not know what it is and how exactly it works. While torrents have been notoriously synced with piracy, there is a reason it doesn’t get banned. And the reason is that torrents do not just serve the purpose of piracy but helps information spread seamlessly.

Bittorrent Logo To Explain What is Torrent

Now let me answer some basic questions that you probably have in your mind for long.

What is a torrent?

The peer to peer or P2P file sharing system was started by likes of Kazaa, Limewire, eDoneky where users could download large files in less time. The idea was revolutionized around 2005 with the introduction of Bittorent protocol which is a much improved P2P file sharing system. Files can be directly downloaded in parts from different users or peers with speeds reaching 1.5 MB/second. The system uses something called torrent file to track the locations of the content and help the Bittorrent client on your computer to download the file.

What are Torrent Files?

Torrent files are small pieces of computer files that contain metadata holding information about the files and content to be distributed. It also contains a list of network location of trackers which helps downloaders connect easily with fellow peers. Torrent files are generally hosted on Indexers or torrent listing websites and works with the installed Bittorent client to achieve the download.

How does a Torrent File Work?

The torrent files are hosted on Indexers and you have to visit one of them. In the torrent file information like location of the file, main link, encryption methods, name, folder structure, size, etc are contained. It is not the content that is to be downloaded, but a link to it. The torrent file can be downloaded from the indexers or used directly by clicking the magnet link which launches the installed Bittorrent client. Torrent files initiate the download and the client automates and takes care of the whole process after this.

How to Download through a Bittorrent Client?

The first thing you need to do is get yourself a Bittorrent client. There are many free clients but you can go for uTorrent which is very simple and fast to use. Then follow the steps below:

Step 1: Access the Torrent File

Liked discussed above, you need to visit the torrent Indexing website to get the torrent file. Then locate the file you want to download by browsing or searching the website. The torrent file will be located on the torrent file page. You can use it in 3 ways

– Directly download the file on your computer and then double click on the saved torrent file which will open the Bittorrent client.

– Click on the magnet link on the torrent website which launches the Bittorrent client to begin the download.

Step 2: Initiating the Download

Other than the ways discussed above, you can also launch your client and then access the torrent file from the program itself by browsing your computer. Before the download begins, you have to select the download location on your computer. You can also choose which files to download if it is multi file content.

Step 3: Tracking Download Details

After you begin downloading, you will be able to see the progress and other details about the download like download and upload speed, number of peers connected, total number of seeders and leechers, etc. These things are not so important for a general user though they can throw the picture on slow downloads and other issues.

uTorrent Interface

You will also be able to see how much time is remaining for the download to finish. You can also pause the download and resume it any time you like.

Tips on Downloading from Bittorrent Protocol

Though Bittorrent itself in not illegal, many files uploaded on it can be against copyright acts of materials. You will be able to find many movies, music albums and other work which generally have to be purchased. The best practice is to stay away from mindless download of copyrighted materials as IP addresses of Bittorrent users can be easily tracked.

You will love to use Torrent. Whether it be downloading media or sending across important files, torrent makes access to information a lot easier. You would love to run it. However, do keep an anti virus in your system. This is because that while most torrents are useful and what you need, there might be some instances where the sender has hidden a virus within the torrent file. Having an anti virus in your system will help you ward off these threats easily.

When you are looking for a computer; the monitor is not always on the list of what to check. With the number of people that buy laptops where it is just built-in; this is understandable to a point. However, for desktops that are built; what monitor you are getting deserves some consideration.

Best 27 Inch Monitor ASUS

After all, it is what you will be staring at during the time which you use your computer. And that’s why a good monitor is a must to protect your eyes and to get the best viewing comfort.

What to Look for When Buying a Monitor?

Obviously, when you think about a monitor, size and where you are putting it would be the first consideration. But just as important is the resolution of a monitor; otherwise known as how many pixels it displays. For example, 1080p monitors are what is most common. At 23″ 1080p would still look fairly sharp; at 27″ (the size we are looking for today) it would not because it is a bigger screen so it needs more pixels. For 27″ you want a higher resolution such as 2560×1440 but still a 1080p monitor is considered okay.

Another good thing to look for is called IPS. IPS stands for in plane switching. It offers users wider viewing angles and bolder colors. It does this because it allows more light to pass through the panel. This can result in a glow along the edges and corners of the screen; this is entirely normal, it does not mean something is wrong with the screen; contrary to what it may look like to someone who has never owned an IPS monitor.

Now let’s check out our list of the best 27 inch monitors under 300 dollars price tag.

1. ASUS MX279H 27″ AH-IPS HDMI VGA Monitor (Our Choice)

Asus 27 Inch IPS MonitorFirst thing to notice about this monitor is it does have a three year warranty with two way free shipping if something goes wrong with it. It features IPS technology. Another thing worth noting is that it is both PC and Mac compatible. There are a couple of concerns with this monitor though, such as you need to download the correct driver from the ASUS website.

Check Current Price on Amazon

That isn’t a big deal for everybody but I am being thorough for those of us who are technically illiterate. Also, the power adapter cannot get lost. It does not work with any other cord. So, this isn’t a first choice for people who move around a lot or lose things but still it is one of the best 27 inch monitors under $300.

It won Good design award for it’s ultra thin built as well as the thin bezel. It also featured dual HDMI port, D-Sub and DVI-D ports. Overall we consider it to be the best 27 inch monitor under $300 dollar price that you can buy.

2. HP Pavilion 27xw 27-in IPS LED Backlit Monitor (Best Value)

HP IPS Led MonitorThis monitor features amazing angles because of its IPS and diagonal screen. This enables an awesome viewing angle from anywhere. Its white and silver colors enhance the thinness of this monitor. The stand design provides easy access to both the VGA and dual HDMI ports (note: the VGA cable is NOT included). It also features the same 1920×1080 resolution.

Check Current Price on Amazon

There is easy button controls on this monitor. It comes with anti-glare and can be tilted from -2 to +25 degrees. It does come with a limited one year warranty from HP. The menu is surprisingly easy to navigate; that needs to be noted since many monitors fall short there. It is also Mac compatible if that is a concern for you.

Finally, at the time of this writing, it is cheaper than the previous ASUS model listed above. This one seems to be the most “bang for your buck” as they say.

3. Dell SE2716H 27″ Curved Screen LED-Lit Monitor 

Dell Curved Led PanelThe first thing to notice about this monitor is regardless of any of these are on sale or retail (all of them so far are listed on sale at Amazon as of when I wrote this…); this one is quite a bit more expensive than the other two. A lot of people are looking for what works for the cheapest; but not necessarily everyone. So let’s take a look and find out why it is a little more expensive.

Check Current Price on Amazon

It is not compatible to be wall mounted. There are dual built in speakers. Most importantly, and why it has a bigger price tag: it has a curved screen. There is also a capability of deeper reds and deeper blacks than with the cheaper monitors. Between that and the curved screen, one should have a reduced amount of eyestrain if they are someone who is at the computer all day versus someone who just uses it an hour or two after work.

4. Samsung S27E390H LED-Lit 27 Inch Monitor

Samsung 27 Inch MonitorHere is the last monitor we are looking at today. It is more expensive than the first two, but not the Dell with the curved screen. It offers the same resolution as all the others and for those few that it matters to its color is black with light blue. It is obvious why this one demands a bit more price wise than the first two. It has an eye saving mode as well.

Check Current Price on Amazon

It comes with a VGA and HDMI cable but lacks a USB. There are complaints of the white having a yellowish tint to it one this one. For that reason I would be reluctant to recommend it unless you need the eye saver mode.

Which One Should You Get?

Okay so there were the four monitors that were looked at. The one that I can rule out right away is the ASUS listed first. There was no feature in particular that stood out about it (other than the three year warranty but that only comes into play if it becomes defective anyway). The other three it depends on exactly what you are looking for.

I am operating under the assumption that price is a big factor for a lot of who would be reading this. If getting the most for your money is your biggest concern: the HP wins hands down. Now if you need the eye saver mode and don’t want to spend the extra money for the Dell; you can try the Samsung, but be aware of the whites look yellow issue.

Finally, if you are going to be at your computer for hours on end on a frequent basis and are willing to spend a bit more on the monitor, my recommendation is the Dell. The curved screen and the deeper reds and blacks than you would get with a cheap monitor provide an enhanced viewing experience.

0

GoFundMe is a website that allows users to create a page and describe their causes for raising money. There are lots of other sites like GoFundMe to raise fund for a personal cause. The business model of these websites is to allow people to donate others and taking a percentage from the donated amount.

Sites Like Go Fund Me for Online Giving

The percentage of charges vary from website to website. Below is a list of the top 7 Personal Fundraising Sites Like Go Fund Me that you can use for a personal cause.

1. YouCaring

YouCaring is one of the best platforms for personal fundraising. Unlike GoFundMe, YouCaring does not charge fees for using their website. They only require you to pay a 2.9% fee for credit card processing and $0.30 per transaction.

You should keep in mind that these two amounts of fees are standard for a majority of platforms. For example, GoFundMe charges 5% extra to use their platform along with the credit card processing fee, although its one of the best personal fundraising platforms.

2. GiveForward

GiveForward enables you to fund raise for causes such as medical expenses, medical equipment, and living expenses as a result of injury or terminal illness; Started August 14, 2008, in Chicago Illinois, it’s popular with people who fund raise for causes such as paying medical bills for loved ones.

Their website charges are 5% and 2.9% and $0.50 per transaction for your payment processing. They also offer platforms for fundraising causes for funeral expenses and memorial funds.

3. Fundly

If you are searching for a personal fundraising site with a user-friendly interface, Fundly is the site. One advantage that Fundly offers to you is they reward high performing fundraising platforms with discounted rates.

For example, if your personal fundraising platform gets over $50000, they charge you 4.4% instead of 4.9% for using their platform. Their other expenses are 3.0% for credit card processing.

4. FundRazr

FundRazr is similar to Indiegogo in that it has multiple fundraising platforms. They range from projects for paying medical bills to creative projects. One advantage when using FundRazr is that they always keep the raised money.

You also have no time limit to carry out your fundraising activities.Its project page design is also better when compared to GoFundMe as the text is easier to read. FundRazr charges recipients 5% of the collections and a payment processing fee of 2.9% and $0.50 per transaction.

5. Indiegogo

Indiegogo is another personal fundraising platform. You can use it to fund raise for causes such as medical expenses, technology, gaming, and filming. Their platform charges vary if you achieve your targets. That is 4% for meeting your causes target and 9% if you don’t have a target.

Indiegogo charges between 3-5% rates for your credit card processing fee, depending on the financial institution used. If you happen to raise funds for causes not in the US, a $25 will be charged if the funds are in US dollars through direct credit cards. These funds are then wired in lump sum amounts to a select non-US bank once the fundraising has achieved its goals.

6. Rally.org

If you want a free platform for personal fundraising, Rally.org is the website. You can use their platform to create a page for your cause, which the site names “Rally”. You can also share your story through photos, videos and blog entries.

One advantage of Rally.org is that it processes payments directly as compared to other platforms that use third-party payment platforms, For example, using Amazon and PayPal platforms. You can also donate to multiple causes and campaigns without having to re-enter the payment information. That through their one-click payment feature.

They also enable users to embed a link for donations to their images and videos. That feature is called covers. It allows you promote your campaigns on social media. Their platform also enables you to analyze user responses to an individual post.

7. FundAnything (Out of Service)

FundAnything is another platform that you can use for personal fundraising for various causes. Its platform is designed to be user-friendly and takes about fifteen minutes for one to setup a campaign.

You can use it to fund raise for these website causes such as medical, creative arts and business ventures. It’s free to launch a campaign on this site, but their other pricing structure is different.

They charge 9% fee on campaigns that don’t achieve their targets and transaction fees of 3%.You can avoid these high fees by setting up a goal that you can manage to make. This website is becoming popular and is one you should consider.

What to Look Out For When Raising Funds

You should look for a personal fundraising platform that has accessible platforms to use. You should also check these fundraising online platforms and check out about their online reviews and amount of donations that they have been able to raise.

Customer service is another factor that you should consider. That’s because these situations require contributions. You don’t want bad customer care service ruining the chances of you achieving your targets.

Another area to look out for is the recipient’s ease of withdrawing donations. That’s because these fundraising platforms are for critically injured people, terminally ill people or students waiting to join program’s which have timelines.

You should also check out your state’s or country’s rules regarding donations. That’s especially in these times that terrorism has become a threat to security. Many governments have set up laws to guard against money laundering and individuals who take this opportunity to fund terrorist organizations.

The above guide for personal fundraising websites like GoFundMe should make it easier to choose a platform for fundraising. Many people are contributing financially to individuals in need and various other causes through these online platforms. What you should look out for is genuine fundraising websites. You can also share out the many photos and videos available on these sites to create awareness.

A Quick Look at The Best Wireless Headphones Under $50

Things to Look for When Buying a Bluetooth Headphone

1. Sound Quality - That all shiny headset with a long battery life is totally worthless if you can't enjoy your music because of the poor sound quality. During the early days of Bluetooth headphones, they used to produce harsh and digital sound because of the heavy compression. Now a days it's getting better and better. You should look for a headphone with aptx support with bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0 for the best quality audio.

2. Battery Life - After a long work day you are on the bus listening to your favorite music and all off a sudden your headphones battery dies. If your headphones comes with a wire support as well then you are okay. But if not, it can be the most frustrating moment. From a wireless headphone you should probably look for at least 8 to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge.  

3. Comfort - In our lifetime we all bought that one uncomfortable headphone that makes you want to take pain killers after using it for a while. If you are going to wear a headphone long enough then it should be fairly comfortable. 

4. Appearance - The designs of the modern headphones are usually pretty good. But at the end it all comes down to personal choice. You may want to buy a headphone just for the looks. But in our opinion, the user experience is all that matters in most cases, not the appearance.

Things to Look for When Buying an Action Camera

1. Video Quality - This is the most important thing that you need to take into consideration when buying an action camera. The higher the resolution the better the video quality gets. Currently 4K is the highest resolution you can get from an action camera. But in most cases 1080p or even 720p is good enough.  

2. Image Quality - If you are going to use the camera for taking still pictures as well as videos, then you need to consider the image quality of the camera. In this case the higher the megapixel the better image quality you can expect. But as they are intended for video, don't expect the image quality to be great.  

3. Battery Life - You don't want your action camera to die on you just after a few moments of using it. An ideal action camera should be able to last at least 2 to 3 hours with a single charge. You also need to keep in mind that shooting in higher resolution will result in a faster battery drainage. If you are going to be out all day shooting videos, you should probably buy an extra battery or a portable power bank

4. Durability - Another important aspect is how durable the camera is. Is it waterproof or weatherproof? Does it need an external casing to make it waterproof? For instance the GoPro HERO Session is waterproof up-to 33 feet without any casing.

7 Best Zombie Games for Xbox One

Nothing is as mind blowing as watching a horrific movie, and it moves to a new level if you get to play the part of the actors in such nerve-numbing games as Zombie games. Feelings like you are meeting the dead first hand and knocking them out of your way is enthralling. This is what zombie games are all about, taking players to the war front and putting them head-to-head with rotten Zombies. You cannot fight the urge to play on to new levels.

Xbox One Zombie Game

Now, there are many zombie games for Xbox One, but we have only listed the best seven. These 7 games are rated highly by the critics as well as the users. Check them out below. We have also listed some of the upcoming games that you can pre order. 

7 Best Zombie Games for Xbox One

In the city of Harran, this game places you in the position of Kyle Crane. He is a government undercover official on a mission to retrieve a secret file from a Zombie territory. This mission is all about first person combat against different types of Zombies. Those zombies can spit acid on you, others that can run fast and jump high and others that explode when they are near you. It doesn’t end with the Zombies, you also have thugs on your way too.

These are much stronger and outwit the normal Zombies you meet often; they can hide, take cover and even get offensive with close range and long range weapons. Make it through to unlock the Grappling hook and you are a level higher, you can soar high and far and can beat your challengers to the game. Zombie games are tough sometimes, but the Dying Light is one to reckon.


In this game, you bear the heavy duty of Adam Kane, as the commander in charge throughout the game. However, you are not all alone in the fight; other characters as Fallen Angel (Angel Quijano) are also in the fight as she tries to protect her survivor against the menace of these dead heads. The display may not be of the quality in 360P or play station, but this game still offers enough package of variety that can bring the thrill home by the time you complete.

The kill counter may give you a satisfactory sense of victory, but the challenge is undeniably one of the greatest in Zombie games that any novice player would want to feature in and feel the tension. The other interesting part about this game is that you can also work with a co-op in the challenge and it still has to be great the same old way.


3. Dead Island

(Definitive Collection)

Dead Island

Dead Island definitive collection is a combination of three games, Dead Island, Dead Island Reptide and Dead Island Dead Island Retro Revenge. If you are looking for some combat, then this game is for you. This collection is based on playing from the first person perspective, where you have to fight for survival in the Zombie-infested Banoi Island. You can assume the position of one of the four main actors who are immune to the Zombie virus. Then you can team up with and gear against the enemy to make it day by day.

Several weapons as knives and machetes come in handy in bringing the enemy to their knees or eliminate them altogether. However, these weapons are of limited lifespan, although they are still repairable. Keep going, collecting experience points and gaining new abilities and skills, which take you to new levels. This collection may not be the best out there, but it still has an action.


This is the latest release in the long running sequence of the game. Although RE5 is not all about survival horror, it still features the tension built thrill which is a tradition of RE. This game runs on co-operative game play, giving you a fun-filled experience, but the tension here will keep you with a bated breath all through. This game features Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, who battle horrific enemies in an African nation of Kijuju where they had gone to stop a weapon dealer’s mission, only to stumble into infected residents.

This game is a bit slower; you will have to stop to make a shot, which is ideal for dealing with the less fast enemies. If you are the type that goes for the fast-paced moves and attacks, then this game may not be your best choice, but you can still make the best out of its steady pace with time.


Although RE6 suffers a bit of remarkable identity crisis, this Zombie game is nonetheless a great one. The game features four in depended campaigns in which seven characters are distributed. Each of these campaigns has its own beginning and end, building more on suspense that unfolds through the different campaigns, which makes its plot unique. The horrific character of this game will keep you on your toes to the very end. Coming head-to-head with a weird beast, or witnessing a monstrous creature turn captured hostages into zombies with a life consuming breath is overwhelming.

However, all these in a day’s work, this game really give you the thrill you would seek in any Zombie game, and its story telling comes out to be one of a kind. The only shortcoming that drags the fun here is a number of repetitions of cut sequences as well as highs and lows that make the game lose a substantial level of its touch.


This game’s seasons are based on Robert Kirkman’s books. This is an ideal option for those who do not have speed for the game. However, decisions and action are critical in this game, which are determinants of the result you are seeking. More interestingly, you do not have to play season one to graduate to playing season 2. The most stunning thing about this game is its outstanding display of action and appeal to emotions that will take you away.

The action in this game comes from Hershel’s farm and does not develop from any definite plot nor do the characters here have any exit goal to accomplish. They are in this farm to stay, with one and only achievement ahead of them, to survive these zombies menace and ensure they see the next day. The Walking Dead Season 2 is the action every gamer would want on their collection.


Zombie games list cannot be complete without a mention of this challenging combat. With 15 missions that you have to fight back-to-back, you have the chance to prevail in the survival challenge, but the opponents here will give it to you rough. When talking of Zombie games, this is one of the best horrific and gores experience games that will keep you breathless to the end. As Hitler is on the verge of losing the war and at wits end, he calls on the creepiest of his soldiers, and you are on duty to wipe them out.

The best part is that you can choose to take on them all alone, or use a co-op of 2-4 aids online. Whichever way, you will come face to face with snipers out there, armed with 25 lethal weapons and ready to play rough. Moreover, it also features reward systems for achievements like long shots and utilization of bullets and the fun keeps going.
