| The Future Of The Web (Part 4) |
| The release of a new version of a browser used to be a notable event. New releases only came along every couple of years, and usually included plenty of new features or a fresh design. Now, most browser companies issue rolling updates, with new features being continually added to the browser, which is updated automatically, often without the use even noticing. |
|
| The Future Of The Web (Part 3) |
| Today, there’s a big distinction between the power and performance of web apps that you access through your browser (such as Google Docs), and full-blown Desktop applications that are installed and run on your PC (such as Microsoft Office). That distinction could be eroded by Native Client, an initiative that allows apps coded for the Desktop to run inside a browser. |
|
| The Future Of The Web (Part 2) |
| The web is at its most powerful when it works automatically on your behalf. We’re only at the very beginning of what automated internet services will do for us, as we move into the era of what’s being called the Internet of Things. This is where every device – no matter how mundane – is connected to the internet. |
|
| The Future Of The Web (Part 1) |
| The web is a rapidly changing environment. Only a few years ago, technologies such as Adobe’s Flash and Microsoft’s Silverlight were the standard means of creating and displaying online videos and animations, and looked set to remain comfortable in their supremacy for the near future. But both are now being gradually phased out as the web progresses to an era where you won’t need plug-ins to watch videos, listen to music or hold conversations with your friends and family. |

| Devolo dLan 500 Wi-Fi Network Kit |
| HomePlugs use the electrical cables in your walls to transfer data, which makes them a tidy and effective way to network your house. And unlike Wi-Fi, they aren’t affected by solid walls and doors. But if you still need Wi-Fi, you’ll need more than traditional HomePlugs with Ethernet connections. |

| Fitness Trackers Still Need To Work Out A Few Kinks |
| My favorite of the three, the Up 24 blends function and style. Beyond being the most fashionable of the trackers I tried, it was the most full-featured and had the most user-friendly app. The single button on one end of the band shows you how much power the device has and lets it start or stop tracking your sleep. |

| With Basis, you have two options for uploading data: wireless syncing via Bluetooth to the iOS or Android app, or connecting the watch to your computer with the included USB cord. The same USB cable used for syncing doubles as the charger. |
|
| The Basis for Better Fitness (Part 1) |
| When I first got my hands on the Basis B1 Band fitness watch, I was floored by how much information the activity tracker captures. It continuously gauged my heart rate, and measured my skin temperature and perspiration (all helpful in estimating calorie burn). |

| If you’re looking for a monitor, the situation is better: The most recent generations of video cards from both AMD and Nvidia support 4K output, so you can at least run Windows and other programs on more real estate than you probably ever thought possible. |
|
| 4K - The New 3D In Other Words (Part 2) |
| Computer users have been able to operate their systems at resolutions considerably higher than those found on HDTVs for years now, and displays are keeping right up with the 4K trend. But just as with TVs, you’ll pay dearly for the privilege of pushing all those pixels - at least right now. |
|
| 4K - The New 3D In Other Words (Part 1) |
| From HDTVs to computer monitors and beyond, 4K display technology is finally hitting the mainstream. But this exciting innovation still faces a couple of big barriers. |
