Windows 7 “Snapping” Windows – in Ubuntu Compiz!
May 3rd
As always, Microsoft have done nothing new with their latest OS.
If, however, you like the snapping windows feature – which allows you to use a mouse gesture to move one screen to the left side of the screen and another screen to the right – then this is how that effect can be achieved in Compiz.

A faster, smarter DNS service
Apr 15th
For those of you that are more technically minded amongst our readers you will already know what DNS is – for those of you that don’t it is what is known as a “Domain Naming Service”.

The computer cannot understand where to get this from as computers work best with numbers, this is where the DNS servers come into play. They convert the human readable name to a number which without the service would be impossible for humans to remember (for example 92.35.234.18)
Want to know more about how changing the service you use could speed up the internet, as well as keeping your network safe – then read on! More >
