Ad-type.google.com is a nuisance. It is the meanest possible click fraud one would ever encounter online. It affects your browsing experience mainly on your mobile devices, be it android or iOS. So far I have not heard of ad-type affecting browsing experience on Windows Phone. That is probably because users are not reporting it. I am sure you will agree with me that it is a pain. It usually

We usually place the icons that we use the most on the dock of Android home screen. It can be really a nuisance if they go missing every time you reboot the phone. Especially with Android 4.1 in the running currently on most phones, icons or applications missing from the dock of the Android phone is an issue. Does the problem of of application shortcuts or icons missing from the dock happen to

Did you reach here searching for a solution to the shocker as you were swiping through your applications list on your Android phone and seeing two icons for the same app? You are not the only one who suffered from the pain of seeing two icons of the same application in your app drawer. And I am sure you tried the next best step of trying to delete one application thinking that the application

Looks like scammers are increasingly moving away from the traditional ways of trying to squeeze some monies out of your pocket. They know that you have grown smart enough to recognize pishing and to avoid the Nigirian Bang Employee who got a truckload of cash stacked away in some distant place just for you. We are living in the smartphone era. The smartness of the smartphones you own is the

It looks glamorous! It looks sleek! The screen is all colorful and bright! And are you wondering if you should buy that Nokia Lumia smiling at you from the demo table of the mobile store? The answer is a big, emphatic 'NO"! Do not even think about it! Why? Do you remember Steve Jobs' quip about smartphones of yore, as he was launching the first ever iPhone seven years ago? He famously said, &

Tablet optimized version of Twitter is released here! If you own an Android Tablet, you can go straight to the German Website to download the application. Like a good early adopter and enthusiast of Android Applications found in the wild, I am sure you went ahead and downloaded the app, only to find that it keeps crashing or never loads.  The version of Twitter for Android that we are

I never lose a chance to show off the power of Android.  I always have things thing about trying out any new thing that I find on Android. Just as I was searching for the next cool thing on Android that will amaze my friends, I came across this magical application that allows you to use the keyboard of your computer and the browser to type. Yes, there is a surge of different kinds of

If you are in India, own an android phone and are connected tithe world wide web through your blazing 3g connection, I'm sure you have at least once in your android user lifetime searched for an application that allows you to watch TV live. In the process you might have got into any of the following three bizarre situations,  One, you might have downloaded an application only to know that

Android is evolving so quickly into a robust platform that matches operating systems on personal computer. It's actually evolving in leaps and bounds. And one of the concerns of people who live on the Indian subcontinent has always been, when it comes to android, its inability to render indic languages. A lot of discussion has been going on around the web regarding this and people have been tying

I'm sure many of you are facing the same problem that I faced right after the Jelly Bean or Android 4.1.1 update on your brand new Android Phone. Sync just doesn't work. You try everything you can to eable Sync and get push notification working. Some of us even remove the account and add it back again. What do you do when the Sync option is not working on your Android Phone or Tablet. Heard of

I like the seven inch form factor when it comes to tablets. I always think it is better than the massive, difficult to hold ten inch tablets. Apple following the footpath of Samsung with their IPad Mini and Amazon with their Kindle Fire only reiterate the fact that seven inch is the best tablet form factor. That is exactly why I bought the first Galaxy Tab and later the Tab 2, the

As beautiful as it is when it comes to looks, Icecream Sandwich comes with its own set of bugs and quirks and issues that will get you frustrated. One of them is certain ongoing processes that get stuck on your notification window and would not go away no matter what swiping you do. It usually happens with downloads. You are downloading something from, lets say, your mail application. The

I loved Samsung Mobile Products. My move from being a loyal Nokia customer to becoming an ardent Samsung Fan started when Samsung's feature phone Corby landed in my hand. Corby was an awesome phone and there was no looking away from Samsung after that. When their Samsung Galaxy Tab (P1000) was launched I did not have to think twice to buy it. And I am using the Tab as my personal computer ever

The English section of Wikipedia was blacked out yesterday, protesting against SOPA and PIPA, the draconian Internet laws the American Government is pushing. I am against these laws as they sound very oppressive and give a lot of arbitrary power to certain individuals and organisations to control how Internet works. However, I do not think Wikipedia did something its members, administrators and

The best thing about a smartphone is the quality of the photos and videos you can create with it. There is an whole ecosystem around the idea of photos and videos on a smartphone. Smartphones succeed in the market not just because they can seamlessly connect you to the Internet. They succeed als because of the quality of the media you can create using them.

Once I wrote about how you can use Real Player Beta to download videos on your Android Phone. That process has a limitation. You can download only those videos that require a video player to stream, if you are using Real Player. You cannot download and save videos that play in the browser itself, using Real Player. Often we come across great videos online that we would love to download and

Mobile phones are increasingly becoming the devices on which people store their personal photographs and videos. When it comes to personal photographs and videos, there are those that you want people to see. Then there are the ones you do not want many to see. And you want to hide those from inquisitive eyes. It is a major issue when you have friends or relatives who think it is their birth

Ya! Every one, every tech blog out on the planet, is doing a recap of 2011. I thought I will do one on techedIN too, depending on what caught my attention in 2011. There were plenty of trends in the Information Technology world that I consider as trends that defined 2011, for various reasons. I would like to list them for you!

Your client or colleague sends you an email with an important attachment. You download the attachment and eagerly open it to find that it is an unknown file type and you cannot open it on your system as your computer does not have the programme that runs it. Windows offers to help you figure out the programme. Knowing Microsoft for so long, you will not try it as you will end up

Roumour mill is running again, with stories about how and how not Samsung will provide Samsung Galaxy S and Original Galaxy Tab users with Ice Cream Sandwich. I am following each story closely. Last week Samsung announced the list of devices it will include in the Ice Cream Sandwich update. Samsung Galaxy S and Original Galaxy Tab, the two devices that provided Samsung with the stepping stones

A few days ago, I wrote about a tool that bloggers can use on their Android Phone to keep track of their Google Adsense Account. But if you are a passionate blogger, just a way to keep track of an Adsense Account is not enough. Most bloggers do not care about making money. They just want more people to read what they write. And Google Analytics is the best tool available out there to help you

I know. If you are into serious video making and want to show off your videos in front of the world, you will hate the upload size and time limit some of these video sharing sites have in place. Not that many of us create videos that are more than ten minutes. But then, sometimes, one of these rare times, you will make a video that is longer in duration or larger in bite size. You will try and

You are a blogger and you write a lot. And you have an Adsense Account you use to try and monetize your content, hoping that you can make some money as you write, without an editor breathing down your neck.

Samsung seems to be listening. After drawing the ire of the blog world and customers on twitter for not including Galaxy S & the original Galaxy Tab in the list of possible candidates for Ice Cream Sandwich update, looks like Sammy has taken the right decision to evaluate the possibly of an ICS update for these devices. Samsung is probably confused if the users will like the Tab and S

The Android Market ecosystem is full of applications that allow you to stream music. Plenty of them out there allows you to get online music and radio station streaming. If you are someone who is keen on listening to music but do not want to save songs on your device for the fear of eating up space, these applications are good for you. Or if you are bored of the music saved in your device and
