WhatsApp Messenger – Taking the PIN out of Ping In the begging was messaging, and lo and behold, the company with two B’s from Canada dominated it, with a PIN that was more aspirational than a pin code. They were the likes of Google Talk who offered some token resistance. And then along came Whatsapp in 2009 and changed that. It was an App Store exclusive for a while – Android got it in 2010, after even that double B company!...

4G LTE routers were created as a result of our constant need of being connected at all times – at home, at the office, when commuting and travelling. Picking up the 3G or 4G network from your mobile device, the router then rebroadcasts it as a Wi-Fi connection that can be used on most other devices you have in store. However, with such a wide variety of LTE routers being available, it’s hard to choose the best one for your needs....

Not if you are at a Lenovo event, though. No, the “after event” of a Lenovo launch is inevitably that of executives tying up loose ends, checking on devices, co-ordinating transport schedules and getting ready to move to the next stage. There are no fans, no extended sessions with the media, no tear down sessions or even post-event “yay, we did it” selfies for the team. And no, this is not some ice cold professional team finishing its task for the day a la Samsung, but more a bunch of individuals (mostly informally dressed and very relaxed with each other) simply getting on with their work....

I know that physically locking your laptop will no make you look cool, but at least you know it protects against thefts. What you need to check before searching for laptop anti-theft cables is whether your laptop is equipped with a small lock slot (called a Universal Security Slot) that works with laptop locks. I can tell you from my experience that all the laptops that I owned had one of these....

Therefore, let’s presume that the term geek refers to persons who love technology and who don’t necessarily wear glasses. Also, there are enough geeks that, for example, love technology but aren’t that great when to comes to mathematics or physics sciences. Some of these geek movies, though, are meant for that category of people, as well. It was pretty hard to compile a list with movies for geeks, because it’s hard to name it a top, since one can’t really say which movie is the best – it’s all about different tastes here....

1. Lenovo’s New Kind of Tablet, the Yoga Book The tablet market is approaching a saturation point and while some OEMs have tried to break the barrier by innovating the dying category, it has been mostly futile until now.

On the other hand, Google, despite Android’s exponential growth over the years, could never figure this out. Therefore, some users made peace with WhatsApp, some with Facebook Messenger. You get the idea. Google did have its own platform though – Hangouts – but the mobile app’s glaring deficiencies never allowed it to soar. The messaging industry, however, boomed and almost every company wanted a share of it. “Messaging is the future”, “Messaging is the next big interface” were some of the headlines making rounds and they were true in a lot of ways....

Feel the shiver of excitement? Volkswagen is aiming to pass on the message “Feel the shiver of excitement?” while advertising their cars which come with in-trend geeky features like a Navigation system with rear-view camera, multifunction steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity support, and more. This is a great way to garner the attention of the customers by physically attaching a motor that sets off automatically, thanks to the simple light sensor on top....
