6 Creative Ways to Use Evernote

6 Creative Ways to Use Evernote There's a reason the Evernote logo is an elephant. Because when used correctly, this helpful, versatile, free app will make sure you never forget anything ever. Just like an elephant. If you're unfamiliar with Evernote, the app utilizes "notebooks" — basically a system of folders and subfolders that become increasingly helpful as you create more. Greater organization makes it easier to recall exactly what you need at a later date, across any platform. When harnessed fully, Evernote can build an entire second brain for you, synced automatically across all devices. Every picture, article, website or personal note you might want to recall can find a place there. That's a good thing, because you're probably aware that your own brain can be fallible at times. You'll operate more efficiently by shifting responsibilities onto something else, freeing up your own mind for more important tasks. The applications for Ever...

Android alters all: Now the PC ?

Android alters all: Now the PC ? The Android laptop is coming. Does that mean more market-share pain for Windows PCs? Hewlett-Packard's upcoming notebook offerings speak for themselves. For $480, there's theSlateBook x2 Android "notebook". At $800, we have the Windows 8-based Split x2. For me, the choice gets easier every time I pick up the Nexus 10 tablet that I've been using for the last month. In other words, if I'm spending about 50 percent of my time -- and doing limited-productivity stuff -- on the Nexus 10, it's not a giant leap to an Android laptop. And it's not just Android. Samsung's $250 Chromebook is consistently ranked as a best selleron Amazon.Nor is it a leap in the broader mobile space where Android rules. Combine Android ubiquity with the deep discount consumers get with one of these lappies -- compared with the Windows variety -- and it's an even smaller step. Yeah, there's still opportunity for Windows 8/8....

Audioengine 5+ multimedia speakers

Audioengine 5+ multimedia speakers The good:  The  Audioengine 5+  powered speakers deliver phenomenal sound and offer simple, attractive styling. They feature two audio inputs and an integrated USB port for charging source devices (phones, iPods). The two speakers can be placed as far apart as needed to optimize stereo separation. A remote for controlling volume is included. The bad:  The speakers aren't cheap, and many will find them to be too large and bulky compared with standard PC speakers. The AC power port found in the earlier model is no longer present, and you can't switch between the two inputs--both are always active. The bottom line:  The Audioengine 5+ powered speakers deliver excellent sound quality and provide a clutter-free way to listen to smartphones, iPods, or any other audio source. The good:  Extracomfortable design; improved sound; highly effective noise-canceling circuitry; device folds for compact storage in inclu...
