As you will no doubt be aware, the developer preview of Windows 8 has docked and is ready for unloading onto your machine. You’ll most likely want to get cracking and take a look at what’s on offer first hand before we reveal our comprehensive guide. But, if you’re using a Mac, you might want to stop, pause for thought, and read this little piece on how to virtualize the latest build of Windows with Parallels, and just why it’s a good idea.   Why Virtualize? Obviously this early developer preview (Build 8106) is still at a relatively early stage of development; therefore it’s likely that it’s not going to be issue and hassle-free. As you’re more than likely just going to be ‘playing’ with it, rather than using it in any sort of productive capacity, running within a virtual machine (VM) makes it easy to simply quit, restart or reinstall with minimal damage. Using Parallels, you can run the virtualised OS alongside Mac OS X, and if you’re running Lion with the latest versi...

Google Cloud Print is a new and innovative feature, that Google has worked on since last few months. When Chrome OS development started, many users asked about the printing feature in Chrome OS. Google Cloud Print is Google’s approach towards printing any documents from the cloud. It’s an effort to try to include almost all features in the Google Chrome , Android OS and the Google Chrome OS  which are present in Operating Systems like Linux and Windows. Engineers at Google are working on ways to add all aspects of a regular OS to these products. Google essentially plans to outsource most of the software infrastructure for printing to the cloud and establish a standard protocol that every Internet-connected printer will soon be able to understand. Google Cloud Print is available for Chrome version above 9.0.597.10 as of now (and soon would be enabled for regular Chrome version – Works on Windows only – Mac and Linux version is coming soon). Once the feature is enabled from ...

How we buy, store, and listen to music has changed tremendously thanks to smartphones and MP3 players. We’ve become accustomed to listening to our favorite music anytime and anywhere we want to. Unfortunately, finding a safe, cost-effective place to store your music is more difficult. It is really easy to accumulate a massive digital music collection between downloads and what you rip from your CD collection, but you always risk losing your collection if you store it locally. Amazon has created a solution built into their Cloud Drive service called Amazon Cloud Player. Now you can truly access and listen to your music from any Web browser or Android device. Amazon has had cheap cloud-based data storage for a while, but they recently launched Amazon Cloud Drive as an easy-to-use, affordable storage solution. You can save all your photos and documents there, and access them from anywhere if you have access to the internet. Amazon decided that since people would store their mu...

Amazon, Apple, and Google are all launching cloud-based media storage services, and they are all competing to manage your media collection. These services are vastly different, and each one of them has a lot to offer. The service you choose will depend on the size of your collection, how you want to access your collection, and your budget. Each of them has strengths and weaknesses, so we’re going to compare them to help you choose the right service to manage your media in the cloud. Storage If you only have a few videos and a few hundred mp3s, cloud storage may not be at the top of your list. If you have over 20GB of media, cloud storage can become costly. Even though all of the pricing information for these cloud services has not been published, you need to understand how these three providers think about storage. iCloud: You can store 25,000 songs, regardless of where they were purchased, but iTunes purchases do not count against your limit. You also get 5 GB of free sto...

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole 18 months since the original iPad became the catalyst for what has become the most competitive emerging market in the technology industry of the decade so far. What’s harder to believe, for that very reason really, is that nobody has been able to come up with anything even close in terms of both quality, consumer interest and subsequently, and most importantly, sales figures. Apple has dominated the tablet industry so far as it has the portable media player industry ever since the inception of the iPod and iTunes, and despite the best efforts of companies such as Google on the software front, and ASUS, HTC and Samsung on the hardware front, Android can’t compete to the same extent that it can on smartphones. Now, though, a new entrant to the market has emerged: Amazon. A big player with ambitious plans and an enormous armoury to add substance to its argument. So, now that we’ve seen the Kindle Fire officially unveiled, it’s tim...

Google has taken the concept of social networking to a whole new level by beginning to integrate its other services into Google+. When you Google+, you are given an opportunity to take advantage of everything the Google network of services has to offer. No other social network even comes to close to offering this type of community. If you have not jumped ship to Google+, there are a few compelling reasons why you should join in. For most Facebook users, Google+ is just different. It is foreign, it is not what they are used to. They are comfortable with Facebook; they know Facebook in and out, plus all their family, friends, co-workers and more are using it. Why would they want to start social networking on Google+ if others have not headed over their first? This is VikiTech’s seven reasons why you should get out of your comfortable zone and give Google+ a shot. If you do not check it out on your own, how will you know if it is the better alternative to Facebook (which we ...
