Gizmo's Freeware: Find Out What's In Thousands Of Household Products

---

Find Out What's In Thousands Of Household Products Posted: 07 Jul 2014 03:54 AM PDT Have you ever wondered what precisely is in your favourite brand of printer ink, shampoo, paint, or toilet cleaner? Or maybe you want to be able to find a brand of shampoo that doesn't contain a particular ingredient to which you're sensitive. Or perhaps you want to know all about Acetophenone. If you're in the US, you probably know that there's a web site which contains all of this information. Presumably (forgive me here, but I'm not based in the US) because it's a legal requirement for manufacturers of household products to submit their data to this official government site. If you're not in the US, and you've always wondered what goes into paint or antiperspirant or dog shampoo, now's your chance to find out by browsing this fascinating site. Obviously this website is USA oriented, so be aware that some formulations of products for the US market may not be precisely the same worldwide. But it's still an interesting and educational resource. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/find-out-whats-thousands-household-products.htm

Never forget your Android phone with Wear Aware for Android Wear Posted: 06 Jul 2014 05:35 PM PDT As shipments for the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live start to arrive this week, new smartwatch owners are going to be chomping at the bit to get the most out of Android Wear. We’re going to add Wear Aware to our upcoming list of must have applications for your wrist. Wear Aware acts as a smartphone leash, notifying you whenever your phone gets out of range and loses Bluetooth connectivity. When this occurs, your wrist will immediately begin vibrating, buzzing, and the display on your smartwatch will turn bright red letting you know that you forgot your precious phone. This is the very first release of the app, so expect bugs and there’s also bound to be room for improvement. It’s worth mentioning that this functionality isn’t meant to replace Google’s Android Device Manager for finding lost phones. If you’re in the habit of walking away from your phone or leaving your phone behind as you go about your day, this app is for you.

Here come the custom Android Wear watch faces, first up a Binary Clock Posted: 06 Jul 2014 04:10 PM PDT When it comes to Android, the ability to customize and make your device truly yours is one of the top bragging rights of our beloved mobile platform and a large part of the entire Android experience. Seeing as many Android enthusiasts hold this feature in such high regard, you’ll be happy to know that you can now install custom watch faces on your Android Wear smartwatch. The first one to hit Google Play is Byte Me Software’s Binary Watch Face for Android Wear and as the name suggests, it’s a binary clock for your wrist. Binary Watch Face provides a simple binary display for your smartwatch, helping you earn a few geek points and impress your friends all while being able to read the time in binary format. The companion app, which is installed on your phone, allows you to customize the watch face dot color, adding an extra bit of personalization to your wrist wear. If reading binary isn’t your thing, Byte Me Software has provided an easy guide explaining exactly what the columns of flashing dots on your wrist mean. (Thank you.) Daniel Ward of Byte Me Software has also published his code over on GitHub, so that other developers can take a crack at Android Wear watch face customization. As orders start to arrive this week for the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live, the market for custom watch faces is about to explode on Google Play. We can’t wait.

Gizmo's Freeware: How to Replace Windows XP with Linux for Free

---

How to Replace Windows XP with Linux for Free Posted: 05 Jul 2014 02:49 AM PDT XP user, I am talking to you. In April 2014, your favorite operating system stopped being officially supported by Microsoft. Now, there's no reason for panic, but this is a good opportunity to start considering alternatives. Without going into too many details, the free and exciting option is to try Linux. Indeed, today, we will demonstrate how to dual-boot an existing Windows XP installation with the latest edition of Linux Mint, a highly popular Linux distribution, while retaining all the important user data you have. Naturally, this is somewhat of an advanced topic, so you might need to invest a little time reading, but overall, the exercise should be worth the effort. In the end, you will have a fully functional dual-boot setup for all your needs, with XP on one end and a modern, stylish Linux Mint 17 Qiana on the other. Let's rock. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-replace-windows-xp-linux-free.htm

• From the Forums: Android Wear, L is for Lava Cake, Fourth of July Grillin’, and more
• Mobile Roar 52: Material Duarte
• 5 apps for celebrating Independence Day
• Happy 4th of July from Phandroid!

From the Forums: Android Wear, L is for Lava Cake, Fourth of July Grillin’, and more Posted: 04 Jul 2014 12:30 PM PDT What an exciting time to be alive. Google I/O was like Christmas for Android fans everywhere, summer is in full swing, and this weekend we celebrate the 18th anniversary of Will Smith's triumphant defeat of extraterrestrial invaders hellbent on conquering earth. Before we get to jiving and imbibing, let's take a look at what sort of discussion this joyous time has kicked up over at Android Forums, shall we? Are you buying Android Wear? The question is straightforward on the surface, but the answer is multifaceted — and we're not speaking simply of the plentiful custom watch faces Android Wear users will have the option to deploy. It's easy to buy into Google's smartwatch platform, but which to actually buy? Do you go with the square form factor of the LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live, both currently on sale and shipping next week, or do you hold out for the circular face of the Moto 360? It's all part of the discussion happening now at Android Forums. If you are considering an Android Wear device, do yourself a favor and check it out now. Galaxy Tab S or iPad Air? While it's hard for Android fans to admit, a tablet with a legitimate shot at going head-to-head with Apple's iPad has been a long time coming. With the Galaxy Tab S, consumers now have a slightly trickier decision when deciding on their next tablet purchase. Priced identically and offering features like a gorgeous Super AMOLED display, member Chicago64 is wondering whether the Tab S is truly a better buy than the iPad Air. The early responses might surprise you. The LG G3 launch looms large We've minced no words in declaring the LG G3 the best Android smartphone currently out there, and the excitement is clearly building for the phone's US launch over at Android Forums. Those in other parts of the world were lucky enough to get their hands on the phone well in advance of us independence-loving Americans, but plenty of folks in the States should soon be able to add their name to the growing list of folks proudly proclaiming "I've got mine." For the undecided, the always helpful folks over at AF are offering their earnest opinions on whether or not the G3 is a good buy (spoiler alert: it is). Is the Galaxy Note 4 a no-brainer for Note 3 owners? We know next to nothing about the Galaxy Note 4, but at least one Note 3 owner is already beginning to wonder if the upgrade makes sense as their next smartphone purchase. As many Galaxy Note owners are infatuated with their styli and possess phablet inclinations, we can see where this one is headed. L is for Lava Cake… Google told us plenty about Android L at Google I/O. What they did not tell us was what dessert (or candy brand, if KitKat is any indication) would come to represent the next version of their mobile platform. We know it starts with L, and the popular consensus is Android Lollipop.  A vigilant Android Forums user has another idea. What if the L stands for Lava Cake? Summertime is grillin' time Hey, did you check you calendar? It's the Fourth of July, and if you are in the US (or otherwise need an excuse to get drunk and watch things explode) get off your computer right now and get that grill fired up. OK, before you do that you should check out this grill-oriented thread over at Android Forums where users are discussing their favorite tips, tricks, recipes, and stories pertaining to all thing BBQ. That's it for this week, folks. Have a great holiday weekend and remember to register for an Android Forums account if you haven't already. Cheers!

5 apps for celebrating Independence Day Posted: 04 Jul 2014 08:30 AM PDT Every year on the 4th day of July in America we celebrate the independence of our country. We do this with parades, carnival games, volleyball tournaments, junk food, cook-outs, adult beverages, and fireworks. It’s a lot of fun. If you're looking to celebrate, but don't know what to do, check out these 5 apps below. They will help you feel patriotic and have a good time. Enjoy! Circle – Events, Concerts More Depending one where you live, there can be a lot going on for the 4th of July. Circle is a great app for helping you find things to do. Just pick an activity, such as friends, concerts, or hiking, and see local results. You can also spin the circle and find random things to do. Don’t just sit around on your computer all day. Get out and enjoy the holiday! Grill Simple Cookouts are a big part of the 4th of July. When you’re grilling for a bunch of people it can be easy to burn the food. Don’t let a single hot dog or burger turn to the dark side. Grill Simple provides USDA recommended cooking temperatures, times and tips for a variety of meats, vegetables and fruit. It’s the perfect companion for your grill. Cocktail Flow What goes great with some grilled food? An ice-cold adult beverage, if you are of age of course. Cocktail Flow is an awesome app that will help you whip up a drink with whatever you have on hand. Simply select what you have in your liquor cabinet and let Cocktail Flow do the work. There is even a special holiday section for 4th of July-themed drinks. Captain America: The Winter Soldier If grilling and drinking aren’t your thing we have the perfect game for the 4th of July. There is nothing more patriotic than a hero named Captain America. The Winter Soldier game allows you to play as Cap himself in MMO-style action. Save the country from the Winter Soldier and other enemies by ordering your troops to attack. Saving the country on the 4th of July is pretty important. Fireworks! Last, but not least, is Fireworks! These beautiful flying explosives have been a staple of Independence Day since way back in 1777. Most people will be able to simply look out a window to see, or at least hear, fireworks going off tonight. If you prefer a more localized approach you can download this app and play with your very own fireworks show. We hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July! Go USA!

Happy 4th of July from Phandroid! Posted: 04 Jul 2014 07:00 AM PDT “We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on, we’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our independence day!” Here in the United States, when we see “4th of July” we know it’s not just another day. Today is the day we celebrate the Declaration of Independence, a document that made this country possible. How do we celebrate? The way we celebrate a lot of special occasions: food, parades, fireworks, and beverages. Today, however, you will see a lot more American flags flying high. To all of our American readers we wish you a Happy 4th of July! Grab some candy at a parade, eat some grilled food, have a beverage or two, enjoy some fireworks, and be thankful to live in this country. The United States is certainly not a perfect country, but on days like today that doesn’t seem to matter so much. USA! USA! USA!
