Apple Watch Design Guidelines.

 What You Should Have Known Already.


If you are one of the many individuals who believe that the Apple Watch was designed with the sole intent of making all other Apple products obsolete in nature, you may want to think again. The intent of the Apple Watch is to simply provide an alternative device in terms of weight and accessibility. This specific watch will definitely allow you to make the most of your time, especially with the state-of-the-art smart screen.
The screen of the Apple Watch is available in two different sizes: 38 millimeters and 42 millimeters. As expected, the screen is touch-sensitive, though actual gestures are not supported; however, the Apple Watch screen is able to differentiate between taps and holds thanks to the pressure-sensitive setting that the screen contains.
A digital crown on the watch’s side acts as a form of scrolling up and/or down in order to allow the user to not have to continuously touch the screen. The crown can also work for pressing buttons and zooming in and out of the screen.

HOW TO USE SIRI ON YOUR LAPTOP IN MACOS SIERRA.

APPLE PUT YOUR FAVORITE VOICE COMMAND ASSISTANT ON YOUR COMPUTER


Here's our guide on how to use Siri for the MacBook series in macOS Sierra version 10.12. For our complete guide to using macOS Sierra, head over here.

Siri got another upgrade

Apple's voice-activated virtual assistant Siri got a boost in iOS 10, but it doesn’t stop there. After updating your Mac to the latest version of the new operating system, macOS Sierra, Siri appears automatically on your home dock. You can remove it from the dock if you want, but Siri is fun to use and can actually help you out.
To get Siri to pop up, all you have to do is click the icon on the dock. Siri appears in the top right corner of your screen, asks her usual “What can I help you with?”, and waits for you to say something. If you don’t, Siri provides a list of sample questions that you can ask, as seen above.
Simply speak your request and Siri will tell you what it finds in a menu on the right-hand side of your screen. If you ask it about this publication, for example, it will provide you with this information:
If you ask Siri to play music, it’ll automatically play what you want, so long as it recognizes your speech correctly. I asked it to play “Frank Ocean’s Nikes,” which it picked up as “Frank Ocean’s 90’s” before quickly correcting to Nikes and playing the song for which I asked.
Siri can help you get directions, put dates into your calendar, send emails, search your files and more. Your old voice-recognition buddy moved in and can potentially be a super helpful tool on your laptop or desktop.

THE BIG UPDATE BRINGS MORE BRAINS AND COOL FUNCTIONS TO YOUR COMPUTER


If you’re a Mac user, it’s more than likely that you’ve hit “remind me later” a few times for the newest macOS software update. But Sierra, aka macOS Sierra Version 10.12, is available now on most modern MacBooks and iMacs and has some huge new features for your computer.

To get Sierra and try them out for yourself, visit this official Apple page and click the blue button marked "Upgrade Now." Or, on your computer, click on the Apple logo in the top left of your Mac's screen, select "System Preferences", find the "App Store" icon and click it, then click "Show Updates." macOS Sierra should be available as an option there.
You get an upgraded dock with the addition of Apple’s signature Siri, and you gain some other fun and useful features with your computer and compatible Apple devices. Here are our favorites, and how you can use them.

Kids toys are getting more creative with technology.


Sure, kids can pick up a tablet or smartphone, but the true innovative toys are those that combine high tech and simplicity. The Moff band collaboration with Pac-Man is a perfect example of this. Kids wear the Moff band and swing their arms to play Pac-Man through an app — making them physically active while using a smartphone or tablet.

How to Unlock your Samsung Screen Lock with Dr.Fone: Android Screen Lock Removal



How to Unlock your Samsung Screen Lock with Dr.Fone – Android Lock Screen Removal

Screen locks have become a relatively important thing for most of the Android smartphones, as the screen lock not only provides privacy to customers but also prevent others from checking their private data on their device when they are not around. Screen locks prevent the smartphone from opening applications on its own or dialing itself to some random number because of the super sensitive touch screens we get on smartphones today. It also keeps the smartphone safe when it is between the sheets or in your pocket.
