Here I’m going to show you how you can easily generate unique images for contacts that don’t have a contact image. And we are going to achieve this by using a tiny app called Micopi Pico. This app automatically generates unique images for each contact. The images have unique backgrounds with a letter on the top.

When I asked some of my friends what’s great about it, most of them mentioned that although the design’s usually the main factor when it comes to choosing a custom ROM, with MIUI it’s just an added advantage. The number of features that come packed with the ROM is what makes the difference. And they were absolutely right. MIUI comes with many handy features you don’t get on stock Android and almost all of them are helpful in everyday use....

Even when I recently bought an iPad Pro I still wasn’t convinced. The 10.5-inch iPad Pro is as smooth as butter and great with multitasking, but it still wasn’t the same experience as a Mac. All of this changed, however, when I finally caved and bought the Smart Keyboard. I thought it was ridiculously overpriced, but now I understand why. The Smart Keyboard transforms a mere tablet into a laptop replacement....

In his OS X 10.5 Leopard review, John Siracusa said: Time Machine: The Easiest Way to Backup OS X bundles a backup utility called Time Machine. It’s a basic app that creates a copy of everything that’s on your mac on an external (or internal, but what’s the point in doing that?) hard drive.

In recent years, smartphones have evolved considerably, adding the power of multi-core processors, GBs of RAM and tons of high performance apps that almost make them more like tiny PCs – and like in PCs, susceptible to problems. Windows users often find that when messing around with new programs or trying special mods for their PC, they can somewhat ‘break’ the experience thanks to malware or spyware, slow booting, and other problems....

The best strategy would be to take a backup of your data, format the disk and change its file system.. but that isn’t why you are reading this article, is it? 🙂 So, we will tell you how to do the conversion (and why you may want to) without formatting your disk. Note: The process we are going to talk about is one way.

A solution would be to extend the screen lock time on Android....
And if you are creator, nothing hurts more then seeing your work on someone else’s website or page, without the due credit. Thus it only makes sense to watermark a video or image to prevent others from stealing your work. When it comes to watermarking photos, it’s quite an easy process since there are plenty of apps. But when it comes to videos, the job is not that easy. The numbers of apps that add watermarks are far too rare....
