This speaker is known for its range of cool colors. The fact that you can simply hook it to your backpack or carry it in your hands makes it worth pursuing. And well, it doesn’t cost much. But, which speaker cuts when it comes to overall performance? Should you buy the Bose SoundlLink Micro even though it’s over three years old? Well, that’s what we are going to answer in this post as we pit the JBL Go 3 against the Bose SoundlLink Micro in this comparison today....

MS Office suite in some form or the other, be it Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook. You’d agree that while we work through our MS Office tasks, it is also important to maintain a certain degree of efficiency. As per my experience, the “efficiency” grows with increase in usage of keyboard shortcuts and reduction in dependency over mouse clicks. While most of us use some basic and well known shortcut keys, we are still unaware of their real potential....

Yes, Android itself comes with a selection of toggles but they’re limited and not easily customizable. Plus, you need a special gesture to access them. If you upgraded to Lollipop you might have found that the situation hasn’t really improved. Rather, the toggles available have been reduced to a bare minimum. Another thing you might have noticed is just how out of place toggles from an app like Notification Toggle or Power Toggles look....

Yesterday I was strolling in the Play Store Photography section, and that’s when I found a cool app called Million Moments that could be a perfect Gallery replacement app for Android. Two things that make photo viewing experience great on Million Moments are its magazine-style layout and ability to use tags to organize photos. So let’s see how Million Moments works. Installing it would be the first step. Getting Started with Million Moments After you install Million Moments, the app will ask you to select the photos you would like to import to Million Moments as a part of a small walk-through....

Rumour mills have been churning information related to the upcoming OnePlus device — dubbed the OnePlus 5. The company has confirmed that their next flagship, which will succeed the OnePlus 3 and 3T, will hit the stands this summer. According to a report by The Verge, OnePlus isn’t naming the next device OnePlus 5 due to the Chinese superstition of 4 being an unlucky number, rather because of Robert Horry’s number 5 jersey in the NBA....

Opera is one of the better Chromium-based browsers out there. With a host of unique features ranging from integrated social media capabilities, built-in content blocking, to free VPN support, it really stands out from the rest of the pack. And then there’s Opera GX, a so-called ‘gaming’ browser released by the same developers. But what does Opera GX do? Does it improve your PC’s gaming performance? Is it substantially different from the regular Opera as to warrant a switchover?...

The problem is that if you use desktop email clients or applications to receive emails from your Outlook.com account, they may not function anymore. The password of your account will not suffice for the clients to download emails from your account. An example of the connectivity error or requirement of password is shown below. I faced this issue with MS Outlook desktop client after I activated two-step verification. Now, the question is how do we get through?...

While Google is focusing on simplicity and taking a minimalistic approach, Microsoft is all about bridging the gap between Android and Windows 10 to improve end-user productivity. Both the launchers offer various customization options, feed menu, search engine, and theme support. Based on your usage and preference, you might find one useful over the other. In this post, we are going to compare Pixel launcher to Microsoft launcher and conclude if you need to make a switch from the default Pixel launcher....

row and column fashion. It’s real power lies in data manipulation . Let me share an example. I stay in a rented apartment with 4 other friends. We maintain certain monthly expenses on an Excel sheet so that we can divide an equal share at the end of each month. When some expense is incurred by a single head, it is easy to edit a single cell value. But, when a constant value needs to be operated on all the cells, it takes some effort....

While all it would have taken is a simple Bluetooth file transfer, Apple loves to set restrictions for what goes in and out of their devices. But we here at Guiding Tech work really hard to find some amazing workarounds to make file sharing simple for you guys. I am going to show you how you can transfer photos from iPhone to Android and vice versa using Wi-Fi, even when you don’t have a Wi-Fi hotspot around....

What’s best about the Always On Display (AOD) feature is that you can customize the face widgets to your hearts contents. With the new update, this cool feature on the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ is set to become more trendy, all thanks to the newly introduced GIF feature. Yep, you read that right. You can now set cool new GIFs on the Always On Display screen. Though Samsung has a set of preloaded AMOLED-friendly GIFs, you can also add one from your own arsenal of GIFs....

Also, recently I had to show a friend how to go invisible on Facebook chat. I shared the screen with him in a second instead of typing out instructions. When the word you are searching for is ‘quick’, try out Screenleap – one of the fastest, simplest, and easiest screen sharing apps I have come across. Screenleap requires no installation. It runs off a Java applet from within any browser (usually every computer already has it installed)....

As time changed, the split identities were not just limited to calls and messages, but to social apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram. Developers introduced features using which a person can clone apps and configure two different accounts on the same phone. This feature was was amazing and just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, MIUI 8 introduced the concept of Second Space with MIUI 8. While still in Beta, Second Space on MIUI 8 is a very interesting, and the first of its kind feature to be made available for Android users....

ENIAC to the amazing Macbook Airs and Ultrabooks of today, they have become ubiquitous and indispensable. But the popular practice of using the keyboard and the mouse to control the computer has remained unchanged for years. Mobile phones have moved towards being smartphones and most of them no longer have a keypad. All touch controlled! Then why not evolve towards using other input methods on our computers? Why not try technologies like speech and gesture recognition?...

While all these are much better, they don’t offer the main functionality of sticky notes i.e. pinning them to the desktop. Stickies, developed by Zhorn Software, is just the right alternative to Sticky Notes. It is filled to the brim with features, is more robust and offers deep customization. Let’s check these out in detail. Did you know? The physical post-it notes, from which the sticky notes are inspired, were invented by mistake and for the first few years nobody saw any use for them....

The headphone jack has already sparked a wave of memes on social media. Plus, plenty of critics within our tech bubble have been laughing at Phil Schiller chalking up the port’s removal to “courage.” In fairness, he probably could have used a different word — maybe bold or even innovative. Well don’t think for a second that the parody creators of the internet didn’t hop right on this year’s opportunity....

This brand new product line-up will be available by the time the holiday season hits the global markets and will be a good start to the next year for those who love to stay on the cutting edge of technology. So, without further delay, let’s have a quick glance at the various smart gadgets that Google launched today. 1. Google Pixel Buds When most of the new age smartphones are ditching the headphone jack, why should the Pixel 2 be any different?...

But, where did it all go wrong? It’s a long road that the brand will walk and surely various agencies will get involved too, but for now, it’s safe to suggest that the Note7 isn’t in our recommended list of phones. This wasn’t always the case, though. I, for one, was quite excited about the launch of the Note7. It was hot property when it did launch, but it quickly went from hot to burning hot....

There is a very popular saying: what gets measured gets managed. With this thought in mind, I have been dabbling with time tracking apps for the last couple of weeks. There is Toggl, a popular time tracking app that is used by individuals and solopreneurs alike. On the other hand, we have Harvest which is equally popular and feature rich. Get Toggl Get Harvest Let’s see what they have to offer....
