If you’re looking for a good Android PDF reader, look no further. As a Samsung phone owner, I’m familiar with the ThinkFree Office reader, and I’ve found that it just didn’t cut it. MuPDF is a PDF reading app that runs faster than any other I’ve previously used, and it’s free! As far as features go, MuPDF isn’t heavyset. It scrolls from page to page and offers search and zoom functionality....

You can get a full day’s charge within 39 minutes thanks to the device’s 4500mAh twin battery and charger with 12 thermal monitors. With the included charger the company claims you can get up to 58 percent in just 15 minutes. Charging that fast usually means extra heat but OnePlus says the temperature of its phone should stay at a “comfortable level....

To unlink your phone number from your Google+ information there is a nice little box that can be unchecked in the account settings area. The easiest way to get there is to simply follow this direct link: https://www.google.com/settings/phone As mentioned, it probably will be unchecked for you. And you might also want to note that this setting is completely separate from the numbers you add to your profile in Google+, rather the setting mentioned above is tied to the number(s) listed on your Google account page....

Why We Take Off Our Shoes in the United States but not in Israel Anyone who’s flown in the United States knows about TSA security. We take off our coats, avoid liquids, and take off our shoes before going through security. We have a no-fly list based on names. These are reactions to specific threats. That’s not the way a country like Israel does security. I haven’t flown El-Al (Israel’s national airline), but friends tell me about the interviews they go through in security....

VLC Media Player The VLC Media Player is an open-source media project developed by the VideoLan team. The design is a modular framework that allows it to easily feature multiple plug-ins and codecs, boosting its compatibility without making it a resource hog. We could spend all day talking about the myriad of features packed into this app, but the central point to share is that VLC can play nearly every media format known to man....

Microsoft made Windows 1803 available to the public last week and all I have heard from friends, colleagues, IT admins, and thousands of users on Reddit, is that this update, in its current form, is riddled with problems. A couple notable problems getting headlines are Alienware devices locking up and Google Chrome freezing after the update. Some of the other issues that users are reporting include File Explorer crashing, BSOD during the update, Microsoft and third-party apps become unstable, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection troubles, and hardware not working – just to name a few....

Old Original Article… We have enjoyed the ride, but we have also faced challenges. Although we gave it our best, we regret to announce that it is time to say goodbye. Thank you for your support and for sharing this journey with us. It was our privilege to serve you.

Accidents happen. The delete key is easy to hit. And unlike Internet Explorer, deleted Chrome bookmarks don’t go to the recycle bin –- they get permanently erased on the spot. The only chance of recovery is a backup, so the automated backup is your best bet unless you regularly export/backup your bookmarks. The only side effect is that any new bookmarks you’ve created since launching Chrome will also be lost unless you back them up right away....

Parallels 7 makes a good first impression with its updated startup wizard. It features many easily selectable options against a dark gray textured background similar to that in OS X Lion or iOS. This wizard does a nice job of cutting out a lot of the steps you’d normally have to take to install an operating system. There’s no fishing around on the internet for ISO images, or having to burn anything to DVD first–it all can be initiated right from within the Parallels application....

Roku owners, for years, have had to deal with the lack of an official YouTube channel since it launched in 2008. There’s been several third-party attempts, but most were shut down within a few months. One of the more successful ones we covered is VideoBuzz, and you can still stream YouTube to your Roku from an iOS or Android device using Twonky. Officially YouTube on Roku Adding the channel is easy....

The shot below is a proof of concept – not necessarily the way it will look – but it appears it will include both traditional aspects of the Start menu as well as new Modern Start screen live tiles too.
