Use Laptop at Night With Ease For Eyes

Many of us are habitual of using laptops till late at night and we often don’t care about sleepy eyes. I myself feel much tired at moments when my laptop clock tells me that “It’s 2am” but since I am a computer enthusiast so often things are at zenith for me during laptop usage. Thus, as a result being so much curious about any thing which I am trying to develop over my laptop I never ever think to close the lid of laptop and take some rest for sake of my eyes. Since as per my opinion LED’s of modern laptops are not of that much harm to our eyes as compared to those traditional monitors which had those big picture tubes. However, still a rest of few minutes for the care of eyes is necessary instead of using laptop continuously without looking at the surroundings.
So, What to do when you are tired and still you want to use the laptop without the fear of looking at burning sun while sitting in the dark. I have a cool solution here in terms of a cool and handy software.
Flux – Software to make your life better:
I have been using this software since long time. This application has proved to safe my life a lot in conditions when I am feeling uneasy to look at my laptop screen because of the brightness. I don’t use this software for 24 hours, rather I just enable it for the time when I don’t feel satisfactory with the blue light being emitted from the LED screen of my laptop. This blue bright light is really irritating for me when I am tired and also at the same time I need to do more work.
You can download this software. After that just install it and it will detect your area of living automatically and if it doesn’t detect that, then kindly provide your area from the settings of this software.
 This software just makes the display of your screen more warmer and you feel more comfortable.
If you are doing color sensitive job then kindly tick the “Disable for one hour” to disable the application so that your display may again show original colors instead of warmer one.

4 Ways to Run Android on Your PC and Make Your Own “Dual OS” System

Intel is now interested in pushing “Dual OS” PCs — devices with both Windows  and Android on them. But you don’t have to buy a new PC to do this — you can run Android apps and even the Android operating system on your current PC.
 
This allows you to use Android’s ecosystem of touch-based apps on touch-enabled Windows laptops and tablets, so it does make some sense. Of course, the process is clunker than just using Windows  apps.

BlueStacks

BlueStacks is currently the best way to run Android apps on Windows. It doesn’t replace your entire operating system. Instead, it runs Android apps within a window on your Windows desktop. This allows you to use Android apps just like any other program. BlueStacks also includes support for easy installation of apps from Google Play, so the process is as seamless as possible. Even better, BlueStacks runs Android apps and games with surprisingly good performance.
This solution can’t replace Windows with Android, but that’s not a bad thing — competing solutions that allow you to dual boot Android with Windows are currently unstable. This is only a solution for running Android apps on Windows.  Unlike many of the other options here, this is a fairly stable and polished experience.
Similar applications, including YouWave and Windroy, lack the speed and easy app installation BlueStacks offers.

 

Official Android Emulator

Google provides an official Android emulator as part of the Android SDK. You can use it to run the Android operating system in a window on your existing computer. This gives you complete access to the entire Android operating system. It’s intended for developers to test their Android apps.
 
Unfortunately, the official Android emulator is rather slow and isn’t a good option for everyday use. It’s useful if you want to test apps or play with the latest version of Android, but you wouldn’t want to actually use apps or play games in it.
 
To get started with the Android Emulator, download Google’s Android SDK, open the SDK Manager program, and select Tools > Manage AVDs. Click the New button and create a an Android Virtual Device (AVD) with your desired configuration, then select it and click the Start button to launch it.
 
 

Android-x86

Android-x86 is a community project to port Android to the x86 platform so it can run natively on Intel and AMD processors, allowing you to install Android on a laptop or tablet just as you’d install Windows or Linux. This project was originally noteworthy for providing a way to run Android on low-power netbooks, giving those old netbooks some additional life.
 
Only certain devices are officially supported at this time. The official page lists ASUS Eee PCs, the Viewsonic Viewpad 10, Del Inspiron Mini Duo, Samsung Q1U, Viliv S5, and Lenovo ThinkPad x61 Tablet as tested platforms. However, you should also be able to install it inside VirtualBox. This allows you to install Android inside a virtual machine.
 
Bear in mind that this project isn’t stable. You should exercise extreme caution when installing it on physical hardware.
 

Android on Intel Architecture

Intel develops their own distribution of Android for new Intel-based PCs with UEFI firmware. It’s named Android on Intel Architecture, or Android -IA. Intel even provides an installer, which you can use to install Android on your Windows 8 device. The installer will ask if you want to preserve Windows in a dual-boot scenario, so this is a way to dual boot Android and Windows on a new laptop or tablet.
 
Bear in mind that this project isn’t stable and won’t work on every device yet. At the moment, the Samsung XE700T, Acer Iconia W700, and Lenovo X220T and X230T devices appear to be officially supported targets. This project is really interesting because it’s being driven by Intel itself. This is likely the same software you’ll find on those new “Dual OS” Intel PCs.
 
This option isn’t for casual users, but it may become more stable over time. For more information, consult Intel’s Downloads, Quick Start, and Devices pages.
 

If you really want to run Android apps on your Windows computer, you should install BlueStacks. It’s the easiest, slickest, most stable option.
 
In the long term, the Android on Intel Architecture and Android-x86 projects may make Android easier to install and use on a wider variety of hardware. They could provide an easy way to dual boot Android and Windows — or even replace Windows with Android. For now, these projects aren’t recommended unless you have supported hardware — and you should be careful even if you do.

3 Questions to ask before buying a tablet

Light, stylish and delightfully easy to use, it's no wonder that tablets have become so popular. A few years ago there were only a handful of models but in today's market, there are a lot more to choose from. So how do you find the right one for your needs? Here are 3 simple questions get you started.
 What size best suits you?
Tablets generally come in 3 sizes: Small (7 – 8.3"), Medium (8.9 – 10.1") and Large (10.1" and up). Each has it own advantages and preferred uses so picking the right size really depends what you need your tablet for.
If you’re looking for something light and compact for reading e-books, a small tablet will be ideal.
Medium-sized tablets are generally a good choice for games, reading magazines or watching movies.
A large-sized tablet is more frequently found as the detachable screen of a hybrid (2 in 1) laptop. They may cost more but the larger screen is more productive for getting work done,especially when used with a keyboard.
      Will you be using it more for entertainment or work?

If you want a tablet mostly for games and entertainment, an Android*-based one may be a good choice as there is a wide variety of apps available.
For work, a Windows* powered tablet may be a smart choice because of the compatibility of software like Microsoft Office with your office laptop or desktop.
If you really need something to get down to business, consider a 2 in 1 or hybrid laptop that combines the responsiveness of a tablet and power of a full-size laptop in a convenient little device that's a joy to use.

    How much are you looking to spend?
The variety of tablets available means a broad price range, making it possible for anyone to find a price point that seems him or her.
Shopping on a budget? Value tablets are affordable and still pack enough performance to do the basics like surfing the Internet and reading e-books. But if you run more demanding apps like games, performance may be an important consideration.
Premium tablets may cost more, and the price may be due to the incredible app support, quality build materials or fast performance1. This means it looks amazing, feels great and performs brilliantly for games, videos and even work1.
 
Once you've figured out what size you prefer, what you need your tablet for and how much you're willing to spend, you're well on your way to buying your first tablet. To get you started, check out some of the latest tablets on the market powered by Intel.

Google confirms poor performance is to blame for reneged Android Lollipop encryption pledge

It turns out there was something to the report that hardware performance was to blame for Google backing off its encryption requirement for new Lollipop devices.
 
Google issued a statement to Engadget, confirming that many phones won’t come with encryption turned on, a reversal of the company’s original plans:
 
“In September, we announced that all new Android Lollipop devices would be encrypted by default. Due to performance issues on some Android partner devices we are not yet at encryption by default on every new Lollipop device. That said, our new Nexus devices are encrypted by default and Android users (Jelly Bean and above) have the option to encrypt the data on their devices in Settings —-> Security —- >Encryption. We remain firmly committed to encryption because it helps keep users safe and secure on the web.”
 
Such problems started showing up as early as November, when a test showed flipping on encryption tanked Nexus 6 storage performance. This issue has clearly hit enough Android devices to compel Google to back off from its original plan to require encryption in all new phones running Lollipop.
Fortunately, you can turn this security feature on yourself by following our encryption guide
 
Why this matters: Encryption-by-default is long overdue for Android devices. When it’s upgrade time, you’re likely to sell off or trade in your phone, meaning someone else will be using your old device. If your data isn’t encrypted, someone with nefarious motives could possibly gain access to your old stuff.
