What Is It? Just like others in the field, such as Sonic, the game is all about getting from point A to point B and jumping over obstacles along the way. In Chameleon Run, the twist so-to-speak is you’ll need to switch your color sometimes. When you jump, you need to match the color of your destination. That quirk adds a huge level of difficulty. If you forget to switch, it’s back to the beginning....

What am I talking about you ask? Well, a few years ago I stumbled across a free application called Family.Show by Vertigo Software. Although a bit buggy with it’s first few releases, the latest version has proven to be just as addictive as the first release yet much more stable and includes many of the earlier missing features. Again I repeat – Family.Show is a solid time vacuum. You can easily sit down at your computer thinking to spend just a few minutes and before you know it, 3-4 hours have passed!...

With Windows 7, Microsoft completely revamped not only the look but also the functionality of the Taskbar. Large icons replace text labels, and instances of the same application now stack onto one icon on the Taskbar. The new feature keeps things straightforward and minimalistic and when coupled with Aero, beautiful. Depending on what you’re doing, sometimes it’s nice to use the old Taskbar. For example, say you’re trying to teach someone like grandma how to use a new operating system, or you yourself don’t have time to adjust or learn something new....

Defraggler, from Piriform (Yes, the same company that makes another one of my favorite apps — CCLeaner for Windows and MAC), provides more features than Windows’ built-in Disk Defragmenter. That includes scheduled defragging and the capability to defrag individual files and directories. When installing Defraggler, be sure to accept its offer to replace Windows Disk Defragmenter. After you install Defraggler, click Analyze. This checks your hard drive for fragmented files — in other words, over time files end up with data scattered across sectors and not in contiguous order....

How to Change the Chrome UI Back To get started, launch Chrome and enter the following path into the address bar: Now change the “UI Layout for browser’s top chrome” from Default to Normal and relaunch the browser. That’s all there is to it. Now you don’t need to worry about forcing yourself to accept the new design or finding a different Theme to make the browser more appealing. Without any theme changes, this is how Chrome looks with the updated interface – rounded address bar and tabs:...

Dropbox for Teams Overview Our previous review of Dropbox for Teams is a good place to start if you’re unfamiliar with the service, but the short story is this: Dropbox is one of the most popular (and in our opinion, the best) personal cloud storage services. Dropbox lets you sync all your files across the web, your desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux) and mobile devices (iPad/iPhone, Android, BlackBerry). It does so with so much simplicity that it almost feels like magic....

Many of us know Live.com as the search engine and new Online Services brand by Microsoft. Unfortunately for Microsoft however, like MSN before it Live.com has never been able to gain much ground on Yahoo! or GOOGLE in the area of “Search.” Although this is bad news for Microsoft, it’s GOOD news for us. :) You see, Microsoft may not have the Search Market Share it wants on Live.com but, what is does have is PILES AND PILES of Cash to throw at that “want!...

Next up on the horizon in terms of tech-trending-to-the-mainstream: VPNs. A virtual private network, or VPN, is basically a proxy that prevents others from tracking which sites and services you access on the internet. And the reason we are talking about VPNs right now is because of a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution signed in April 2017 that rolled back a privacy rule created by the FCC last year. The FCC rule was supposed to regulate the ability of ISPs to collect your internet browsing data and sell it for marketing purposes....

That’s the good news. The bad news is that the Verizon iPhone 4 will not be a 4G phone. Repeat, the Verizon iPhone will not be an LTE phone. Of course, the worst part of AT&T’s 3G network is its spottiness and unreliability, so AT&T turncoats may find relief in the arms of Verizon. But we’ll just have to wait and see how Verizon weathers the onslaught of Apple-loving smartphone users come February 10....
