The Google Play Store, the default Android market, contains applications, games, movies and books that can be downloaded with a few taps on your phone’s screen. Unfortunately, Google Play may not be child-friendly since it has some content that is for adults only. If you are a concerned parent and want to moderate what your child can access on the Google Play Store, here is some good news for you. You can filter apps and other content on your child’s device according to specified levels of maturity. It may sound complicated, but it is really a piece of cake.
The Glance feature of an Apple Watch app lets users quickly view timely read-only information from your app without even having to open the app. By default, tapping on a Glance screen takes the user straight to the initial view of the app, which is not very helpful in most cases. For example, when a user taps a glance screen displaying a delicious recipe, the app should display that recipe with more information, not a list of all recipes. As a developer, it is your job to implement this feature on your app. The Handoff feature provided in the SDK lets you do just that. Continue reading to find out how.

If you wanted to edit it without Adobe Pro, you had to ask the sender to resend it as a Word document. Now, starting with version 2013, Microsoft Word lets you edit PDF files directly, just like a normal document. This tutorial describes how this is done.
By default, the Mail app in OS X saves your email attachments to the Downloads folder, which means they will be stored along with other files downloaded from the internet (e.g., video files or archive files downloaded using Chrome or FireFox). In most cases, this is not a good idea because you may accidentally delete important email attachments when you clean up the hard drive. Furthermore, because the files are not organized, finding what you want will take longer. Luckily, you are not stuck with the default setting. Continue reading to find out how to change Mail’s default download folder so that you can better manage your files.
Today, most free games on the App Store have ads in them. Many of them contain video ads, which eat a lot of your 3G bandwidth. If you are not using an unlimited data plan, these video ads may cause your monthly bill to increase since they use more data than static-image ads. To avoid this situation without having to turn off the internet when you play games, you can block them from accessing the internet when you are on 3G. Here is how to do it on your iPhone without using any third-party software.
