By now, most of the web is abuzz with news of Google axing its Google Reader, which is a platform that most bloggers, including me, identify with. I’ve lived with Google Reader open while I worked for several years, either via FeedDemon and also directly. With the demise of Google Reader, Nick has also decided to kill FeedDemon, most of you might already be hunting for alternatives. Three popular names doing the rounds are Feedly, Newsblur and Netvibes. And, you even have a petition created on Change.org that has over 75,000 signatures at the time that I signed it. I…

In the past taking a screenshot from your Android device was a painful experience requiring you to root your device. Even today, many of the screenshot apps available on Google Play require root access. However, if you’re running Android Jelly Bean then you don’t need any special apps to take screenshots, since the OS comes inbuilt with support for them! The screenshot that you see above is without using an app. All you need to do is to press the Power button and the Volume down button at exactly the same time. Keep if pressed for around 2 seconds and…

During my regular work, I tend to face repeated issues of Excel hanging. This can be really frustrating because a stuck Excel means a painful wait for Windows to figure out what it wants to do with the process. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about this because it is mainly due to addons that I have installed in Excel, which are required for me to do my job coupled with large files with tens of sheets and hundreds of rows with data. In this scenario, the method that most Windows users do is open up Task Manager and…

On the other side of the equation, some unscrupulous webmasters and bloggers regularly seek fresh content from other sites, recycling it on their own pages. Not only is this blatantly unfair, but it could be costing the copyright owner lost revenue from advertising and sales. Fortunately, there are a few different steps that content owners can take to make certain their material is not used without permission. Taking a Proactive Approach “With the size of the Internet ever…

Way back in 2008, I wrote about using SUMPRODUCT to duplicate the functionality of SUMIFS which was introduced in Microsoft Excel 2007. SUMPRODUCT is a powerful excel function and is more commonly used to multiply two arrays. Let’s first understand the syntax of SUMPRODUCT. If you’re impatient, you can skip the tutorial and download the sample excel file from the end of this post. It contains solved examples with the related formulae. We’ll be using the following table in the example. Syntax: SUMPRODUCT(array1,array2,array3, …) Array1, array2, array3, …     are 2 to 255 arrays whose components you want to multiply and…

Disk errors plague virtually every Windows user at one time or another. These errors can show up in just about any stage of usage. Sometimes this can be something as simple as a bad connection. In these cases you can either reseat the hard drive (i.e. disconnect and reconnect the hard drive properly), or simply replace the hard drive entirely. In many cases, however, you may need to go into the disk system and check for specific errors. Odds are, like the majority of Windows users, you’re not an IT wizard, so you can’t just go into your system, look…

There have been concerns about the security of your files in Dropbox. Recently Dropbox added another layer of security similar to Google’s two step verification. When you enable two-step verification, whenever you want to login to Dropbox, you will need to use your password, and a security code that will either be texted to your mobile phone or generated by a mobile authenticator app (available for iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone 7). To turn on two-step verification go to the new Security tab in your Dropbox account settings and enable two-step verification in the “Account sign in” section. Navigate…
