Control Center widgets can be added and removed in “Settings -> Control Center -> Customize Controls.” The order of the widgets can be changed by dragging and reordering items in the list. 1. Magnifier The Magnifier shortcut instantly opens the camera and zooms in. This gives you a handheld “magnifying glass” by virtue of your iPhone’s camera lens. The slider adjusts the zoom level. The white shutter button grabs the current view and locks it in place in the viewfinder but does not save the picture to the camera roll....

1. The Talking iPhone As is the case with most of these hidden features, the speech feature is available in the Accessibility section of the settings. With this feature, your iPhone has the ability to say the text in your iPhone’s native applications, sorry third party applications. This means that you can have your iPhone speak your message, say a calendar event, notes, reminders, and more. Sadly, it doesn’t work with Map directions, however I found a glimmer of hope in the possibilities of such a feature if it were available....

Text to Speech without Third-Party Apps on Mobile While third-party apps do offer extra features, both Android and iPhone have built-in text-to-speech features. You must try those before jumping to the third-party apps. On iPhone, go to “Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content” and enable the toggle for “Speak Selection” to use the native text-to-speech offered by iOS. You can customize the voice, change the speaking rate, highlight spoken content, and activate the feature using gestures....

1.TweetDeck Twitter has a fairly barren interface. Even its newer version lacks many features that would be commonly found in other similar applications. Therefore, on my desktop I interact with Twitter exclusively through TweetDeck. This Adobe AIR application has a vast feature list, including the ability to post photos and videos and it displays all your other social networks. While there are many Twitter clients out there, TweetDeck is mentioned here because it is highly configurable and is available for almost every single platform: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, Google Chrome and more....

To do this, Microsoft has created plugins for Office – small programs that integrate within such apps as Word, Excel and others. Bing is by no means the only one, there is an entire store filled with these extensions. It should be noted that these require Office 2013, or Office 365 Home Premium — both are essentially the same, differing only in licensing. Note also that each of these plugins is launched in the same way – access the Insert menu and then click on the Apps for Office button to reveal a list of your installed plugins....

Q: I cannot remove McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise from my computer through the control panel. Is there any other way to do this? A: Usually, McAfee and NOD32 have a tendency to “stick” to the host computer, much like a virus does. It’s kind of ironic, considering that they’re anti-virus solutions. Fortunately, McAfee has a removal tool for its own applications. First, however, you’ll have to access “msconfig” through the “Run” dialog....

Initial Impressions Unboxing the keyboard, I was immediately impressed. In person, the aesthetic cleanliness of the KM-G3 is immediately apparent, and the keyboard has a solid, reassuring and hefty feel that lets you know you’re working with quality. As I went through the process of hooking up the keyboard and pouring through its instruction manual, though, I did start to see signs of the compromises that had to be made for a keyboard like this to work at its price point....

Similarly, there’s still plenty of functionality to be squeezed out of Apple’s iOS – we’ve described one such tip below for you. A useful trick that you may not know about: you can make your iPhone or iPad automatically type out phrases that you use a lot. And it’s quite simple to set up, too. Check it out below. The method allows users to assign a short abbrevation to a specific word or phrase....

What’s an Arduino? Arduino is a brand of open-source microcontroller boards developed by the Arduino company. When you’re talking about the Arduino, it’s usually about the board. Arduino boards are special because they’re durable. They’re meant to be used by students (or anyone) who could mess things up and break something. The other thing that’s special about them is that they’re open-source. The datasheets for all Arduino boards and shields are available online....

Electric heaters are versatile bits of kit: they can help add warmth to a room that already has a radiator, they can be used to heat just one room without having to turn the main heating on, plus they can be used anywhere there’s a plug, such as in an outbuilding. With the cost of electricity at an all-time high, buying an electric heater may not sound like a great idea....

But if you’re still unsure, there’s a massive array of incredible offers in our main Black Friday deals hub for your consideration, including some other soundbars.

Personally, I use Spotify just about every day when I’m in my personal office; music is a great motivator and really helps to boost my productivity. However, one of the things I’ve noticed about Spotify is that there’s no internal equalizer, so you can’t boost the quality of Spotify music, and it often sounds kind of flat. Equalify is a free Windows program that can boosts the quality of Spotify music....

What Is Chrome Music Lab? The Chrome Music Lab is a music project created by Google. Instead of just a bunch of bland tutorials, you get to experience music through digital hands-on experiments. This helps make creating and learning more about music far more accessible since you don’t need any instruments to get started. It’s also easy to use without a major learning curve, though if you have some experience, these iOS apps are ideal for creating music....
