As one of the most frequently used and popular applications available, Facebook is now attempting to be a little more considerate for those Android users that don’t have a bleeding-edge device or fast data connections.

Like starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck, some of us are just fine with our modest, lower-end devices, but the memory required by the Facebook app can make it cumbersome, and quite frustrating, to use.

Thankfully, Facebook is now offering an alternative for these older devices, known as Facebook Lite. Available for free from the Google Play Store, this… more

It’s that time of year again. The month after we exchange gifts, most of us tend to exchange germs. Cold and flu season always seems to creep up on us, often leaving us ill-prepared to deal with the ailments.

If you ever need to carry multiple plastic bags of heavy groceries from your car to your home, but don’t want to strain your fingers or take multiple trips, use a shower curtain ring to carry all of them at once.

Other than keeping your shower curtains hanging from your shower curtain rod, shower curtain rings are also perfect for hanging and organizing pretty much anything: nuts and washers in your tool room, scrunchie holders in your bathroom, purses and scarves in your closet, and a handy ring holder for when you are washing dishes in the kitchen.

When installing flashable ZIPs and custom ROMs, we always hear the same old adage: “Make a full NANDroid backup first.” Trouble with this is that you don’t always need an entire system backup, since many mods only apply to specific folders on your device. And while custom recovery software like TWRP will let you select from a few individual partitions to back up, every system mounting point is not always included among the options.

Knowing all of this, developer Wanam created an app that will make backing up any partition on your Android device easier than it has ever been. This includes the… more

Purchasing an actual book from a brick-and-mortar store is becoming increasingly less common for people to do, but it hasn’t completely gone out of style just yet. There’s something about entering a bookstore and viewing all the potential great stories and epic tales just sitting on the shelves, waiting to be discovered.

The discovery part is always the most difficult because, aside from the novels converted into films, I don’t have any idea whether the book I’m looking at in my hands is any good or not. And I’m not too keen on trusting the one-line, cherry-picked reviews provided on the… more

Cookies for breakfast seem like a clear dietary no-no, but these three-ingredient breakfast cookies are easy, healthy, portable, and can be made in advance. They’re also dairy-free, egg-free, and have no added processed sugar, so they can also be called allergy-friendly cookies.

Besides all of those reasons, these cookies are only about 50 calories each when they’re made with just the original three ingredients. Nutritionists say that the average healthy breakfast is between 250 and 500 calories, so… more

With Android devices getting bigger by the year, you’d think there would be a native multitasking solution by now. While Samsung and LG have included such features in their customized builds of Android, the stock base that manufacturers start with still doesn’t include multitasking support.

As big of a device as the Nexus 6 is, for example, that giant screen is going under-utilized with stock Android. So developer Carsten Drösser decided he would create an app that will hopefully solve this issue once and for all.

Unlike other multitasking apps such as Hovernote, Drösser’s latest offering… more

The majority of Android web browsers carry a “desktop mode” feature that makes mobile websites look like normal computer versions. Mobile versions are designed to work faster and more efficiently on smartphones, but sometimes the desktop version looks better on large displays or has additional features not included in the mobile one.

My complaint about desktop mode, though, is that it only works on one page at a time. So if you select desktop mode, it just switches the current page you’re on and goes back to mobile if you go anywhere else. Luckily, there are a couple ways to enable desktop… more
