It's a predicament many of us face on a frequent basis; our friend wants to connect to your Wi-Fi, and we're left scrambling around for that torn up piece of paper on which we scribbled that long and elaborate, alphanumeric code. Either that, or we're left playing the guessing game, trying to remember a password we only ever think about in these very situations. Sure, there are ways to make this system a whole lot smoother, but by far the easiest method is to generate a QR code and stick it on top of your router. Is this a new technique? No. Is it particularly groundbreaking? Definitely not. But the fact is, you don't do it, and if you don't ever want to bother reeling off your Wi-Fi password ever again, check out the very simple method outlined after the break.
Following on from its recent announcement of the Galaxy S4, Samsung has released a four-minute video showing off its new creation in a more condensed format than its considerably longer, and much more bizarre unveiling event.
Wii Title ‘The Conduit HD’ Makes Its Way To Android, Features Stunning Graphics And Gameplay [VIDEO]
The Google Play Store is crammed not only with more recent, mobile-adept releases like Cut The Rope, Temple Run and Angry Birds, but also those older, cherished titles from various other platforms. Yet while it's not uncommon to see old PlayStation and Xbox games being optimized and enhanced for the modern gaming world, the titles made famous by Nintendo consoles have been conspicuous by their absence. Nintendo's decision not to bring any of its own titles to the mobile realm, aside from its own DS and 3DS range, is a major factor in this trend, but today, Wii title The Conduit has made its way to Android.
Unless your Internet access has been cut off over the last few days, you are likely aware that Samsung showed off its new smartphone, the Galaxy S4, at a high-profile event in New York City. Right across the pond, in the United Kingdom, major retailer Phones4U has revealed that pre-orders of the new Galaxy S4 smartphone have vastly exceeded pre-registrations for previous models, an early sign that Samsung has managed to “woo” customers with its new device, at least in Britain.
For a vast majority of internet users that interact socially on the web, protecting their privacy is one of the biggest concerns, particularly because of the growing influence of social media in our real lives. This becomes an even more serious matter for users of smartphones, for other than being mobile communicators for us, they also have a physical presence that can become compromised.
Handheld gaming consoles are desperately trying to cling onto a market which smartphone and tablet devices are readily muscling away from them, and it’s also quite evident when we consider adoption rates. So how fitting, perhaps, that the first PSP emulator for iOS (jailbroken devices only), BlackBerry, Android, Windows and Linux should be a smooth, impressive experience which, besides a few to-be-expected frame rate issues, is surprisingly well put together. It's named PPSSPP, and as you'll see from the video below, its performance is exceptional for such an early build hardware emulator.
Jay Freeman, better known throughout the jailbreak community as Cydia creator Saurik, rarely dabbles in the business of building tweaks himself. The WinterBoard jailbreak app has been around almost as long as Cydia itself, and since its release, tweaks from the founding member of the jailbreak scene have been fewer and farther between. But earlier today, a new tweak by the name of Cyueue entered his repository, and simply put, allows for a more flexible experience when using the native Music app.
Ever wanted to run a full screen Windows 8 app in a window? Well, now you can with complete ease. Windows 8 had long been controversial, ever singe it was first shown off last year. As soon as everyone realized that Windows was changing at the core, there has been a steady stream of detractors itching to see it fail. One of the biggest big bears for those that just don't like the new Windows 8 way of doing things is the full-screen application style that mimics that of a mobile device.
With each new release of iOS, Apple tends to add a few new features to Safari, even if it's just some tweaks to improve performance, or perhaps compatibility. In a world where Google's Chrome is now available for the platform, Safari is no longer the only viable choice for a day-to-day browser that ticks all the boxes, and in the face of competition, Apple must act.
The talk of a low-cost iPhone ranks alongside products such as the iWatch and Apple's connected TV effort in years-old rumors are yet to materialize into an actual product. Following the iPad mini, which, after a lot of similar speculation, is now very much a real device, claims of a similar, cheaper entry to the smartphone market seems to have claimed some legitimacy with time. Today, we're hearing that the device, which many have suggested will launch alongside the next flagship iPhone, will utilize the same 4-inch display of the iPhone 5, while also featuring plastic exterior casing, falling perfectly in line with previous reports.
