Speed up your old smartphone

As smartphones age, they tend to slow down and lag too much while performing the simplest of tasks. But worry not, you can make your old gadget operate faster, just follow these three tips:

Updates
Firmware updates take care of lags, bugs, and other issues that you may not be aware of. Such issues crop up with reasonable frequency, so updating regularly will ensure the best performance for your phone.

Memory issues
Low internal memory might be the reason behind any severe lag that your phone is experiencing. Move your media (pictures, MP3 files, videos, and so forth) to the external memory, usually an SD card. Some low-end and mid-range smartphones might already have low internal memories, in which case, moving your files to the SD card won't help that much.

Apps
The application store of your phone, regardless of which OS it uses, will have plenty of apps that can help boost your phone's performance. Task managers help you monitor and close unnecessary processes. This frees up some RAM memory, and so, the phone will run faster. A good antivirus application will scan your phone for any possible viruses and malwares, which can also slow down your phone.

Body Language - Basic understanding

Basic understanding

Shoulder Shrug Gesture

• The shoulder shrug is also a good example of a universal gesture that is used to show that a person does not know or understand what you are talking about. It is a multiple gesture that has three main parts: exposed palms, hunched shoulders and raised brow.

---

The Ring or ‘OK’ Gesture

• The ’OK’ meaning is common to all English-speaking countries and it means "All correct".

---

The Thumb-Up Gesture

• In Britain, Australia and New Zealand the thumb-up gesture has three meanings, it is commonly used by hitch-hikers who are thumbing a lift, it is an OK signal, and when the thumb is jerked sharply upwards it becomes an insult signal, meaning ‘up yours’ or ‘sit on this’. In some countries, such as Greece, its main meaning is ‘get stuffed’.

---

Congruence (state of agreement)

• We often see a high ranking politician standing behind a lectern with his arms tightly folded across his chest (defensive) and chin down (critical or hostile), while telling his audience how receptive and open he is to the ideas of young people.

No most of the guys and girls have their own blogs these days. These are creative and give the personal touch to their blogs design and looks. They want their blog look completely unique. Here I will tell to some tips and hacks to change the looks of your Blogger blog into a new professional website. 

We will start from the top of your blog.

1. Switch to Custom Domain

When you use Blogger you use it's doamin i.e blogspot.com. It is present in each URL of blogs of Blogger. Like
http://film-cast.blogspot.com/
http://colorsfromindia.blogspot.com/

Now when you change to custom domain it will look more professional and attract more visitors.
Above URL will change to
http://film-cast.com

As per the Peter Chen, if you are using blogspot domain and it has good Page Rank then it will belong to blogspot.com and not your blog. But when you switch to custom domain the Page Rank will entirely belong to your website.


2. Add a Favicon

Favicon is the little image or icon that appears in front of :
* URL in address bar
* Tab names you opened in your browser
* Bookmarks/favorites 

By default  is the favicon of Blogger blogs. But you can add your desired faviconto give your blog  a unique look.


3. Remove/Hide Navbar

By default Blogger offers a Navbar which is present on the Header(blog title) of your blog. Removing or hiding this navbar will add to your blogs professional look.


4. Add stylish menu bars

Navigational menu bars give easy access to content of website. And they looks good also. Now a days multilevel drop down menu bars are also available for Blogger.


5. Use third party templates

Blogger offers variety of templates. Also now it introduced the Template Designer. But there are lots of unique and elegant third party blogger templates to choose from. Most of the blog authors uses these templates.


6. Remove Time/Date Stamp, Author and other Post Page Options

Unmark the time, date, comments, author, Link to this post, your views, Show Email Post Links, Show Share Buttons and other options you do not want to show on your blog. I will explain the other procedure in separate topic.


7. Change Comments Form

Blogger has it's own comments form. There are several third party comments forms are available and I have posted them here: http://www.blogger-help.com/2010/10/stylish-and-multifunctional-comments.html


8. Remove Blog/Post archive

Blog archive shows the list of all posts from your blog by date. But it also takes the more space and decline professional looks. You can delete Blog Archive using Page Elements.


9. Remove Showing Posts with Label or For Query

When you click on any label of your blogger blog you can see the following message before label search results: Showing newest posts with label ..... Show older posts. Also for for Search results Showing newest posts for query ...... Show older posts. Just Remove these Showing Posts with Label or For Query messages.


10. Remove Subscribe To Posts Atom

"Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom)" is appeared on each page of your blogger blog on main page, single post page and label/search page also. Atom feeds are similar to RSS feeds, so it is better to remove Subscribe To Posts Atom link from your blog.


11. Older Posts, Newer Posts and Home Link between them

India Today CVoter Mood of the Nation poll: Narendra Modi's popularity is waning, but he remains the best choice for PM

The popularity of the campaign committee chief of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for 2014 Lok Sabha polls -- Narendra Modi -- is on the downhill, the finding of India Today-CVoter Mood of the Nation opinion poll suggests.

The latest study, based on a national representative sample of 15,815 randomly selected respondents across 28 states between August 2 and 10, comes as a setback to the Gujarat chief minister, who has been banking on his popularity to emerge as the BJP's prime ministerial candidate.

Pics: India Today/CVoter Mood of the Nation survey-The Congress' best PM candidate

The opinion poll shows that Modi is preferred by only 45 per cent people as the future prime minister as compared to 57 per cent in the previous survey, held in January this year.

He, however, continues to be the most popular face among those in the prime ministerial race with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi finishing again next to him. Like Modi, the Gandhi scion's popularity has also been waning as he polled 32 per cent votes compared to 41 per cent in January 2013.

How to customise Windows 8 manually

Like earlier versions of the operating system,Windows 8 can check to see if software updates for your computer are available from Microsoft— and then install them for you so you don't have to remember to do it yourself. Security updates and other software patches deemed important or critical are typically installed automatically when Microsoft pushes them out. (The company often releases the updates on the second Tuesday of each month, but it can happen as needed). 
But even if you have the automatic updates option turned on, not all the software Microsoft sends you will install itself. Certain types of updates, including fresh versions of programs that have new user agreements or terms of service statements, require your attention because you are asked to read the legal fine print — or at least click the Agree button — before you can install the software.

How to turn off ads on Gmail

When Google introduced the new tabbed interface for Gmail, it also brought along some new ads under the Promotions tab. 

The ads look a bit too much like legitimate emails, which is problematic for many users. However, they're also limited to the Promotions tab, which makes it super easy to turn them off if you want to avoid confusion. Here's how: 

Click the Settings icon in the top right corner of the Gmail tab. 

Select "Configure Inbox." 

Deselect the "Promotions" tab and click Save. 

Of course, if you want to keep the Promotions tab, there's not much you can do. You can also disable the tabs entirely by unchecking everything except ""Primary"" on this same menu, if you prefer.
