Group screen sharing on Skype is now free

Yes you heard it right. Screen sharing on Skype on desktops is now free.

For example, you've got a hilarious pictures that you would like to share with your whole gang that is connected with your desktop (simply who is on your Skype contact list) or if you are on Skype call with your colleagues and want to explain a concept or show something like an important upcoming event and just want to show them what you mean instead of explaining everything. With Skype group screen sharing now 
you can.


Earlier it was like you have to apply for a subscription to Skype Premium to share screens with two or more people. Now not any more, no subscription required, no charges. It's absolutely FREE.

According to Skype blogs many users have already informed how useful screen sharing is. For many things like the tech support for family or clients or language tutoring or even gaming.
We know this is a great feature to have, so it's great that Microsoft have introduced this and have offered a free screen sharing for groups.

Try it today and let us know what you think of this in the comments below.

Just get the latest version of Skype for Windows or for Mac OS.

EXTENDING BATTERY LIFE MADE EASY


One of the most sad moment for teenagers like us is when our Smart phone's battery is about to die.
There's no direct way of extending the battery life but yes there are certain ways by which we can assure that our battery gives us power for long.I will be illustrating those tips and tricks in this post.

1.SCREEN:

The biggest culprit or rather battery sucker is our smart phone's screen.It just squander our battery.Now what can we do to save the battery is

(a)AUTO-BRIGHTNESS

Never ever use auto brightness.There are two disadvantages of it;
First it uses the sensor to determine what level of brightness we want,so in short we are wasting  more energy rather than saving it because we are using sensor.
Secondly,it always give us more brightness which actually we don't want.

(B)DARKER THEMES/WALLPAPER

Now you might be thinking that how could the theme/wallpaper of our mobile will help us to save battery.But friends it's true.It can make a difference.
To understand the difference,one must know the difference between AMOLED and LCD display(majority of smart phones are equipped with these two)
AMOLED stands for ACTIVE MATRIX ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DIODE
and LCD STANDS FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY.
I wont be giving you any technical knowledge about them but to explain in simple words just remember that in AMOLED displays(most of the samsung mobiles are equipped with that only)black is true black i.e. there's no back lighting for it.
While in LCD displays the black is true black i.e. it is lit up from behind(current actually flows from within the crystals to reflect us with black color).
So,moral of the story is that if you are owning an AMOLED screen smart phone the use dark(black) backgrounds.

(C)SHORTER SCREEN TIMEOUT TIME

Keep the screen time out time as short as possible,because if you aren't using your mobile phone then why to let it screen discharge your battery?
And when required you can increase the screen time out time.

2.KILL THE UNNECESSARY TASKS

Most of us do open the task manager frequently and swipe your fingers from left to right or vice versa to kill the tasks.And that is absolutely fine because why to waste the battery for the application you aren't using.
And those who don't do this,start doing it.It's gonna help you.

3.VIBRATE MODE

We keep our mobile at vibrate mode when we are at college/office and other places.But it takes more charge to vibrate than to ring.So when ever possible avoid using vibrate mode and if you are using your mobile very frequently then its better to prefer mute mode.

4.TURN OFF EXTRA SERVICES

Turn off Wifi,Bluetooth,Mobile data,GPS,auto-sync(your contact list is updated every fifteen minutes by this feature) like services as soon as you complete your work.
Ditch widgets you don't really need, especially those that are connected to the  internet like weather widgets.
Also don't keep mobile data and Wi-fi simultaneously active because it's of no use.How can one simultaneously use both features.

5.KEEP YOUR APPLICATIONS UPDATED

Sometimes we get irritated by repetitive updates of applications we get now and then.But friends it's good to keep our applications updated because it contains improvement in terms of feature as well optimization of battery life.
Change your Google Play Store settings to manual update your apps. If you have the Play Store set to auto-update, you might have fifteen apps updating when you least expect it, destroying your battery life (and data plan) without you realizing it.

Hope above tips may help you keep your battery life little extended than before.

ASUS ZENPHONE 5:BEST ECONOMY SMARTPHONE


Recently,Asus launched its android smartphone range in India.It comprises of Zenphone 4,Zenphone 5,Zenphone 6.
Lets take a glance at the zenphone 5.......
ANDROID VERSION:4.3
RAM:2 GB
IINBUILT MEMORY:8 gb(however only 5 GB is available for user)
EXPANDABLE MEMORY:upto 64GB
SCREEN SIZE:5 inch
PRIMARY CAMERA:8 Mp
SECONDARY CAMERA:2 Mp

Above mentioned are the most sought after features of any phone.
The touch is very responsive.It just delights the user.It's so sensitive that it can even sense the touch of a feather.Also there's a glove mode built in the mobile which enables you to use the phone even wearing the glove which isn't available in most of the phones.
talking about the camera quality,it has got many modes for clicking photos such as selfie mode,hdr mode,low light mode,panaroma mode,smiling face mode and many more.
The most interesting of them is the selfie mode.It asks you about the number of faces to be detected and after that you simply have to turn your mobile and let camera detect the faces,and there you are.It clicks awesome selfies.
Secondary camera is nice.It will work fine for video calling.For selfie one can go for primary camera for good pics.
The phone is ultrafast as it has got intel atom processor(dual core 1.6 GHz) which complements its 2 Gb ram,so one can simply rely on this phone for good gaming experience.(inlcuding asphalt 8,FIFA 14)
And the most awesome thing about this phone is its prize which is just INR 10000 and is exclusively available on flipkart.com.I know that you would have dropped your jaws after listening its price,but my friends it's true.Its just the best phone in this price range.
A good competitor to MOTO G,it just outshines it as ZENPHONE 5 most of the feature are better then MOTO G.
But as you know nothing is perfect,so the most disappointing feature of this phone is it's battery life which doesn't lasts long.One can hardly surf on internet for 3.5 to 4 hours on internet with full battery.
So,if you are in the search of the best smartphone in this price range,then friends go for it.

Internet.Org’s App With Free Access To Google,Facebook, Wikipedia, Local Info & Jobs Launches In Zambia

Over 85% of the world’s population lives in areas that have cellular coverage, but only about 30% of the total population accesses the internet. Affordability,awareness & data charges is one of the main reasons that internet services are not adapted by many.
Almost year ago, Mark Zuckerberg announced Internet.org, Facebook’s effort to bring affordable internet access to everyone in the world and create awareness for the same. This would widely cover access to basic internet services – tools for health, jobs, education and basic communication. In last one year, while working on this project various mobile operators around the world came forward to deliver on this goal, Infact  Facebook has already helped 3 million people access the internet who had no access before.
Facebook's Internet.org project took another leap toward to its goal of bringing the Internet to people who are not yet online with an app launching on Thursday in Zambia.
This Internet.org app will give subscribers of Zambia's Airtel users access to a set of basic Internet services for free. Users of the app won't incur any the data charges that was prohibitive for many people in developing nations. Services accessible through this app range from AccuWeather to Google search, Wikipedia, a job search site as well as a breadth of health information. Facebook's own app, along with its Messenger service, is also included. The app will work on Android phones as well as the simple "feature phones" that are used by the majority in Zambia, said Guy Rosen, product management director @ Internet.org.
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg shared on his facebook page,
Today, I’m excited to announce the launch of the Internet.org app in Zambia. Right now, only 15% of people in Zambia have access to the internet. Soon, everyone will be able to use the internet for free to find jobs, get help with reproductive health and other aspects of health, and use tools like Facebook to stay connected with the people they love.
This is a big step forward in achieving the mission of Facebook and Internet.org. We’re looking forward to bringing free basic services to more countries soon.
Airtel customers in Zambia can access all these services in the Internet.org Android app, at www.internet.org, or within the Facebook for Android app.

This is a video by facebook on Introducing the Internet.org app.

Google Now Updated; Say Goodbye to your parking vows.

Went to a mall parked your car in a 2-3 level parking. Watched a movie did some shopping and then came back but your car is somewhere in already parked 1000's of cars.

What are you going to do?
Waste an hour and half to search for it. Unless you are gifted with Eidetic memory and have  eye for a detail you may end up wasting your time searching for your vehicle.

Or....You may have a trick or two up your sleeve to keep track of where you've parked your car. But if you're still prone to forgetting your parking spot, Google has updated the Android Search app that might come out for a help. The update adds up a new Google Now parking card that shows the exact address of the place where you have left your car, along with a map that shows you how far you are exactly from that location. In case the card got  it all wrong the first time as even your mobile don't have special powers(ever got lost because Google Maps gave you faulty directions?), it can also offer you alternative places where you can check. Yes, that's a nightmare if you're in a massive parking lot, but it sure beats going around in circles for hours. Update will soon show up for you.
Or hit the store and check.

Galaxy S5 Gets A Root Method Before It's Release

Samsung Galaxy S5 is yet to be released in the market but guess what? S5 already got a root(or at least one of its variant) even before it reaches to the people. All thanks to the famous XDA developer, ChainFire, for successfully rooting the SM-G900F variant of the device. ChainFire’s who is well known for his SuperSu app. And his CF-Auto-Root tool has already been successful in rooting various other Samsung flagships like Galaxy S and Note series in the past. The CF-Auto-Root method is one the most popular root methods out there. 





CF-Root is relatively easy to use but still does require the use of tools like Odin for flashing.
While he refrained from getting into the specifics to keep it simple, ChainFire says that his CF-Auto-Root tool currently flashes a temporary modified recovery and then installs the SuperSU app after which it flashes the stock recovery again. The instructions for rooting the Samsung Galaxy S5 are fairly simple and should be under the realm of every user who has even the slightest experience of rooting a Galaxy device.
Unfortunately, this root method works only for the SM-G900F variant of the Samsung Galxy S5, other variants are not yet supported but those might come later once the firmware for those devices become available because the tool actually uses the stock Samsung firmware.
ChainFire has already confirmed that “there’ll be a lot of models, but I believe this will be the most common ‘international’ model”.
Since Samsung Galaxy S5 still hasn’t been made available commercially, there are not many people who were able to test the root method but for what it is worth, ChainFire does say that his root tool will break Samsung’s Knox security suite.

Well considering the possible scenerio.People still don't care infact talking about the education scenarios in Indian colleges and banks windows XP is still ruling.
In higher studies students still are forced to use Turbo C/C++ even when we have options of Visual Studio and all these PC's are running Windows XP.
Do comment below giving your opinions on the same?
Is this the right move  from the Microsoft ? Should people upgrade to Windows 8.1?
