How to backup your PC before upgrading to Windows 10

While it's highly unlikely that anything will go wrong in the course of an upgrade, we'd still recommend being safe - a new install is a good excuse for a backup! If you're heading for a clean install or an upgrade, you'll want to make sure you don't lose anything valuable in the process. Safe data is data stored in three distinct places - its original location, and two geographically distinct copies. This means an additional partition isn't really going to cut it, given that it's the exact same physical location as the original data; you need to use a high-capacity external drive, and some kind of online cloud storage.

Android M Three days ago, Google announced the sweet its Android OS was named after; Marshmallow. Now that it’s out in the open, let’s take a look at 5 noteworthy features it has: 1. App Permissions : You’re the Boss This feature has gotten a makeover and Google will now allow users to take a call on which permissions they want to allow or revoke, based on the usage of these functions. Unlike right now, where you don’t have a choice but to agree to all app permissions on first install or updates, in Android M, you will get a notification asking you to allow an app to use a specific function. Google helps to give permission in parameters like, location, camera, contacts etc. So if you’re using WhatsApp and you want to send a voice message, the App Permissions tab will pop up, asking you for permission to use the microphone. You can also revoke the permission later if you so wish. This is exactly the way Apple handles it on iOS. 2. Better Web Exper...
