Best Andorid Apps for Students

By

Whether you’re a high school student who wants to earn straight A’s in school or a college sophomore striving hard to live with the continuous onslaught of exams, then look no further, as there are Android apps that can help you in your woes and worries inside the campus grounds.
Here are five of the best Android applications that can help you in your studies.

Evernote

Definitely a must-have application for the everyday campus trekker, Evernote combines all the best features when it comes to note-taking. Evernote helps students keep track with almost everything–from notes, pictures, and to-do lists, just to name a few. Stay organized even if you literally have hundreds of notes and reminders with the easy-to-use search feature that pinpoints your search request accurately, saving you time and improving productivity.

Merriam Webster Dictionary

Students will never have to carry around a bulky dictionary as the compact Merriam Webster Dictionary can now be accessed right from the palm of your hands. Featuring voice input search functionality, students can easily look-up words via speech-based lookup. Boasting not only just a dictionary, the app also features synonyms and antonyms of each word entry and an example of how the word is used in a sentence. As an added bonus, the app also lets users save their favorite words and improve their vocabulary with the Word of the Day option.

WikiDroid for Wikipedia

Wikipedia has become synonymous to research with its free online encyclopedias. Almost everyone has relied upon Wikipedia for notes, information, and research options. Considered to be a favorite option for getting fast information on thousands of topics, Wikipedia has been the primary choice for many students. Opening Wikipedia on a mobile phone may take some time especially when loading fully-packed pages. However, a mobile version of the famous encyclopedia now exists to make Wikipedia more accessible to mobile users. With the WikiDroidapp functioning as a pocketable Wikipedia, users are able to access the rich information on Wikipedia through a mobile phone–but minus the bloat of a desktop version of Wikipedia pages.

Adobe Reader

Students who are fond of reading books on the go will be happy to know that they can do the same task using their mobile phones. Adobe Reader can render PDF documents with ease, as the app can support PDF portfolios, password-protected PDF documents, and E-books. Adobe Reader is a perfect companion for those long boring train rides during which you might want to review your lectures or  read e-books.

WolframAlpha

If your curious mind tends to ask questions about all sorts of mind-boggling stuff you stumble upon within campus halls, let the WolframAlpha app do the fact-finding for you. Students can feed the application with unknown dates, words, or phrases that they are curious to know more about and WolframAlpha can dig up all the necessary information related to their queries. Questions can also be asked to gain quick information on a variety of topics–from the probabilities of having a full house in poker, to the person who assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...
