Creepy app lets you monitor your WhatsApp contacts’ activity

Deep down, WhatsDog is not a complex application, but its main function will please many: it records the login/logout information from WhatsApp, making it possible to track the period of activity for any particular contact. Your contacts won’t be able to make excuses like ”I missed your message because I was sleeping,” or ”Sorry, did not read your message.” It also doesn’t matter if you have…

October 15th marks the first day when US residents will be able to get their hands on a Note 4, while those in the UK have already been lucky enough to have it available for quite some time now.

Google Now vs Siri vs Cortana: who is the king of voice assistance?

Siri and Google Now have long since been in battle for the crown of the best language assistant. When it comes to mere search results, Google is, of course, hard to beat, even Microsoft’s Bing struggles to offer a credible alternative.

Hands on: HTC RE Camera review: the Regular Joe’s GoPro

HTC RE Camera Design

The RE Camera is one of the first devices from HTC I’ve seen where superior design is not the first thing you notice. But you’d be fooled: while the RE Camera may lack that trademark HTC ‘‘cool’’ it is actually a very well designed gadget.

The best smartphones for music

We know that the quality of sound usually depends on the type of headset you’re using the listen to music. As such, we performed all the tests with the same headphones, a pair of Sennheiser HD215s.As well, as many audiophiles know, the tests might be a little subjective so we more than welcome differing opinions or suggestions in the comment section.

Help! I have a problem with WhatsApp! Here are the solutions!

If the messaging tool remains on schedule, we should see it some time early next year, but it not expected to see a global launch – at least not initially.

Price

Price will vary for many reasons, and seemingly small differences in components can still mean a big difference in price. They key to getting good value is to determine which features you must have, and which you can live without. These features will become clearer as we go on but remember, more expensive does not necessarily mean better.
