Online Dating – Men Don’t Get It And Women Don’t Understand

Do online dating websites work? Okay, it’s time to have an open and frank discussion about the battle of the sexes and the dating game. It’s far too complex, scary and difficult for mere mortals – so let’s bridge the gap by asking both men and women what doesn’t work when it comes to online dating. To explore this topic, I pulled aside two individuals who I knew were hunting for a long-term relationship using online dating websites, and asked them about their experiences with the services. The two services used by these individuals were OKCupid and Match.com, two of...

What could possibly go wrong? An academic paper says killer robots are all but inevitable, barring the leaders of the world putting their own interests aside in order to work for the common good of humanity. So yeah: all but inevitable. And, on the lighter side of things, EA did what it said was impossible: offer an offline version of SimCity, a...

Music Makes The World Go Around [We Ask You Results]

A love of music is one of those things inbuilt into all humans. Our tastes vary wildly, but being pleased by a combination of pitch and rhythm is almost universal. This means there will always be a market for music, with artists (and Miley Cyrus) creating melodies for our listening pleasure. The way we obtain music has changed massively over the years. Vinyl has given way to first cassettes and then CDs, physical formats have been superseded by digital formats, and programmed radio has given way to you’re-in-charge streaming services. And then there is music piracy. With all this going...

CTRL + SHIFT + 4. Those are the only 3 keys you’ll ever need to press when you want to take a screenshot – and I’m not talking about a primitive screenshot either. You can select which region of the screen to capture or you can capture entire windows with a single keystroke. Taking screenshots doesn’t have to be a hassle if you use one of these tools.

A Cautionary Tale: When Google Decides To Hold On To Your Personal Data And Won’t Let Go

We trust Google with our personal data every day: What happens when they won’t let us take it when we need it? I’ve recently had just such a scenario. I am a big Google fan – I use them as my search engine (of course), Chrome has been my primary browser for years, I’ve been managing my photos using Picasa, Google+ is my social network of choice, and I’ve been using Android smartphones exclusively since the Gingerbread days. So you could say I’m very much entangled in Google’s Web. Nothing to worry about, I thought, thanks to Google Takeout. I’ve...
