It plays an important role in our daily lives, whether you are admiring the beauty of a building or contemplating how different fonts can…
In a time where the phone is your greatest obsession, you may be wondering what could possibly be the reasons to leave your phone at home. We grab our phone before we go out like it’s an involuntary response, just like grabbing our keys, wallet, or purse. Yet there is a reason behind why you…

On Aug 6, Facebook mobile users were hit with a controversial update where the private messaging function of the Facebook app was disabled. Instead, users were forced to download the separate Facebook Messenger App if they wanted to message their Facebook friends on their phone. Facebook’s decision was met with backlash from consumers, accusing the…
Are you getting tired of those tireless memes, overwhelming #hashtags, or those pestering spam messages on social media? The creators of Emojli attempt to ratify these cumbersome issues by launching a messaging app that only allows communication through emojis; essentially, it will be an “emojli-only network.” This app, perhaps, arises in the midst of trying…
The iPhone 6 is coming soon and some mock versions are popping up as guesses to what it could look like. In all this, the following video is probably the most accurate of what features may be included what will not be included.
Instead of timeless tapping, it’s now endless sliding. When Flappy Bird was taken down, people wondered what could take its place. Some games, such as Smash Hit and Quiz Up, have made it up the charts, but now a new game has emerged: 2048. Released just last month, the game has climbed its way to…
Most every teenagers in the present day own at least one electronic device. They occupy our time during the day with social media, games, work and other activities. As useful, amusing and distracting these devices are, they may also be a culprit in the lack of sleep plaguing many modern youth. There are many reasons…
On Nov. 7, 2013, the latest member of the “I’ll just kill some time and play this game – oh dear I’ve been playing for an hour now I should stop, but after this round – actually, um one more -oh gosh it’s been three hours I should probably put this down,” franchise was released.…

The stock text messaging app is satisfactory, but free alternatives do exist for us Android users. I’m honestly not a big fan of using Hangouts as the default messaging app (and it’s the only one that comes installed on my Nexus 5). On my hunt for a nifty new text messaging app, I came across…
The default clock widget on my Nexus 5 lock screen ain’t too bad – it’s your basic digital clock, after all, and there’s not really much it can do beyond that. I’ll admit I’m a bit lazy to enter the unlock pattern, but in a world where features like active display on the Moto X…
The original iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, and it completely changed the world. Before this new phone was released, many manufacturers knew that phones would eventually be like computers, but no one was able to pull it off. There were many attempts, but before Apple no one could pull it off and market…
I personally think that the default notification light setting on most phones don’t do the LED light justice. On my Nexus 5, the fact that white is the default colour used for every new notification almost seems to hinder the light’s multicolour capabilities.
