Grav is a file-based open source Content Management System (CMS) and is developed by RocketTheme, which means Grav doesn’t use a database.

The famous blogging provider WordPress.com recently released a desktop app for customers managing their WordPress.com blogs, and this reminds me an old and discontinued desktop blogging application I used before: Windows Live Writer, so I did some search and happily found that it has come back to life. Windows Live Writer is a desktop application from Microsoft for blog publishing. It was first released in 2007 and then became part of the Windows Live Essential […]
I have been using Google’s new email app called Inbox by Gmail since its first invitation-only release and I have to say I am a big fan of it, and I think it is the best email app so far. Its elegant and mobile-friendly design makes it so easy to check and manage your email inbox, and it also goes beyond email by integrating your calendar, reminder, and other stuff in your account to make […]

My HP Envy 15 laptop comes with an Intel Wireless-N 7260 wireless card and recently I noticed that it causes weird connection issue. Every time when my laptop wakes up from the sleep mode or the hibernate mode, it loses the WIFI connection. Although the WIFI connection icon on the taskbar shows it is connected, it does not allow me to access any site. When this happens I have to reboot my computer to get the connection […]
Windows Active Guard is a very cunning and nasty computer virus and spyware which displays various fake security alerts and warnings after fake system scan, for example reporting some malware/spyware found in your computer, to lure the user to purchase Windows Active Guard in order to remove the detected threats. However, purchasing Windows Active Guard not only has wasted your money, but also has given the virus an opportunity to steal your sensitive financial information […]
I bought a Kingston USB drive the other day and it is preloaded with some software called urDrive. I was curious about it because I never heard of it, so I did some research. After some digging, I found out that urDrive is preloaded software on select Kingston USB flash drives.

I have been with SugarSync for almost a year now. I started with the 5 GB free plan and today I decided to upgrade my free plan to a paid plan. Why?

If you are looking for cloud storage with generous space, I suggest you to take a look at SugarSync. […]

Then you may ask what is the purpose of this post? Well, it seems that many people are not happy with SugarSync because it does not have a native Linux client, so those people, […]
