Apple Maps Are Less Accurate Than Google And Bing Study Says

A study conducted by CrowdFlower found Apple Maps is three times more likely to get its users lost compared to Google Maps. The results of the study were found by picking 1,000 random business listings in the U.S. and 100 listings in the U.K. and comparing them across Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Bing’s results. CrowdFlower first wanted to see if each service used in the study would find the location of the random businesses, and if found, if the directions would lead to the business....

Apple Releases Minor Ios 11 2 1 Update With Homekit Bug Fix

Apart from that, there is not much else to tell, so, this looks like a last minute discovery that possibly did not make it into 11.2. Apple suffered a terrible week of bugs and disclosures in iOS 11 a couple weeks ago. The mobile OS launched in last September and has since received eight updates. This is starting to look like the beginning of a new trend of frequent updates....

Batch Renaming Photos In Picasa Add Date And Resolution

Windows Live Photo Gallery can keep track of photo information, such as date taken and location, but in my opinion, Google Picasa 3 does a better job for batch renaming of files. This is because it lets you automatically include the date taken and resolution in the filename, which may be helpful for a massive digital library with different sizes of the same photo (e.g. thumbnail, medium, original). In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use Picasa’s very groovy batch renaming feature....

Cortex Chrome Extension Adds Speedy Social Layer To Websites

bringing this element of sharing front and center. Where some seek to boldly reinvent the browser from the ground up—such as RockMelt and Flock—Cortex takes a different approach. Cortex is a Google Chrome extension, and the name of its game is speed. So far, I like Cortex’s style. Let’s face it—we are lazy, lazy people. There’s really no urgent need for an app, extension or browser that lets you post links, websites and selected text to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or Instapaper....

Digsby Goes Open Source Is There An Upside

Although most things a lot of us know and love about the Multi-Chat Client Digsby will remain the same, the largest thing changing about the service is that it will no longer be hosting users config data on centralized Digsby servers. Personally, I’m a little torn about this. On one side I loved the fact I could login once, set things up and moving forward any PC I login to, as long as I used the same user ID and PW all my settings would be applied auto-magically....

Disable Follow Up Mode On Your Alexa Device To Save Your Privacy

If that isn’t already troubling, more audio is recorded with the addition of Follow-up Mode for Alexa. The idea behind Follow-up Mode is it allows you to give Alexa a series of commands without speaking the wake word each time. So, after the first command has been completed, Alexa continues to listen for another one. But while it’s waiting, it’s also recording all audio happening within earshot. I experimented with Follow-up Mode enabled....

Download Amazon Prime Instant Video Titles To Android And Ios

To do that, tap the Settings icon and then Download Quality. It’s set to Best by default, but I recommend choosing either Good or Better. Anything higher will take longer to download and use a lot more storage. This is especially important if you have a device with limited storage like an iPad Mini with 16 GB of storage. Now browse through your video collection and find something you want to download and tap the download button for movies or the download icon next to TV shows....
