It’s not very big, it doesn’t smell, and it doesn’t wear a diaper. So why is it called Sumo Paint? One simple reason: a gargantuan amount of usability. With a variety of different graphic and image editors nowadays, it is very difficult to pick one just at first glance. But, when you need something halfway between MSPaint and Photoshop, Sumo Paint makes a big impression. Versions If you have seen our Best of the Best Free Adobe Photoshop Alternatives article, then you’ve already taken in a glimpse of just how much we like Sumo....
First, for best results, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (at the time of this writing is 10.5.3). Also, make sure you have the latest version of iOS 5 running on your iDevice.

Microsoft unveiled its next generation console, the Xbox One last week. Already haters are yelling about no backward compatibility with games, its size, and whether it’s truly a all-in-one solution for the living room.

Transferring large quantities of data between drives in XP and Vista is slow. But Windows 7 has improved the transfer speeds compared to earlier versions. Still, my favorite utility for this job is TeraCopy. It moves multiple files easily in an organized way. First, download and install TeraCopy. It’s free for personal use. It copies files faster by using dynamically adjusted buffers to reduce seek times. It also employs asynchronous copying to speed the file transfer between drives....
Slack maintains an app directory with all of the officially approved integrations, and on a free account, you are restricted to a maximum of ten integrations. But that restriction is removed on paid plans, and you can go integration-crazy. Choose the right ones, and you can have a productivity powerhouse in your Slack channels. What Is a Slack “Integration”? In Slack terms, an integration is similar to a browser extension or plugin....
Steve Jobs often said of new technology from Apple that “it just works.” What I took from this is the late Apple co-founder felt the latest iPod, iPhone, or another product, was powerful and easy to use and worked automatically out of the box. Recently, I had the opportunity to check out the GoDonut Original universal stand. My conclusion after a few weeks of use: indeed, it just works....

In addition TWC had to pay out over $15 million to customers who were subscribed to CBS-owned programming but were unable to access it. Would you accept just a refund for losing a month of Showtime? Apparently for some, a refund wasn’t enough to keep them connected. Was all of this just a result of the CBS blackout though? Well, the record numbers are because of the blackout. But, CNNMoney reported that only around 125,000 of the lost subscriptions were because of the blackout, and doesn’t take a genius to see that....

For the past year or so, I’ve been begrudgingly bouncing from app to app for Twitter — The official Twitter app, Twittelator, and Twitterrific to name a few. Each had their own separate issues: The official app is frequently buggy and crashes in addition to having an odd user interface. Twittelator looks unpolished and Twitterrific has no option to specifically search for users. Tweetbot, on the other hand, is beautifully designed, uncluttered, is fluid to use and has all of the features you’d ever in a Twitter client....
Understanding Windows 10 Editions In addition to SKUs, Microsoft also provides Windows-specific architectures that target the CPU of your PC., i.e., 32 and 64-bit versions.

Some editions are also designed for computers with additional CPU sockets. In this article, we look at Windows 10’s SKUs (editions), architectures, and build numbers....

This happened to me with my older iPad Mini after upgrading to iOS 11. When I open Settings, you can see the iPad Storage Full warning, and to free up space, you need to tap Manage Storage. Then you will see a breakdown of the type of data taking up space on your device. It is divided into categories that are self-explanatory, like Apps, Books, and Photos. But what is the “Other” category, and why is it taking up so much space?...
What’s a Noob? The term noob is slang to describe someone who’s a novice or newcomer or inexperienced in a profession or activity. In more recent years, it has been used to describe someone new to computers or internet activities such as online gaming. Like similar words like newbie, newb, nub, or n00bs, noob can have derogatory connotations, depending on the context. Most times, however, noob is used for descriptive purposes without any value judgment....
What was in the A & B drive and what happened to them? Some computers may still have these, but back in the day, the A: and B: drive were reserved for use as Floppy Disk Drives. The reason you might not have heard of these drives is because all big computer fabricators generally stopped including them on personal computers in 2003, with the earlier being Apple who began disregarding the drives in 1998 on their iMac computers....

Windows 10 Mobile 10080 Another thing, not mentioned on the Microsoft Blog, that I noticed on my Lumia 635 is the Tiles are a bit larger, the text is bigger, and there are some changes to the icons. Also, in the new Store Beta, which is essentially the same as in Windows 10 for PC, is you can purchase movies and TV shows, but purchasing music isn’t available yet. This version of Windows 10 for phones also adds a new Camera app that the company wants to get your feedback on....
