Update Smartphone phone

Come tomorrow when Motorola offers everyone the chance to buy this year's latest Moto X for $499 contract-free, students and educators can save a cool $50 off of the price of the phone with educational pricing. This would take the Moto X's cost down to just $449.99, making Motorola's latest flagship just a little bit more affordable in the spirit of back-to-school savings. The best news about the offer is that it's not valid just for current students and staff, but Motorola is extending the sale and savings to anyone with an .EDU email account. Alumni and others will also be able to order the Moto X for $50 less than retail, which could extend the appeal of this already affordable phone to recent grads as well as incoming freshmen. The $449.99 is the starting price for the handset, depending on how you customize it; wood and leather back plates would likely cost more than the standard plastic models. Will you be using your education discount to

Don't try to force a strap that's too thick onto your Moto 360

Yikes. What you see up there is my absolute favorite padded ostrich watch strap. It's the right size to fit the Moto 360 (that'd be 22mm, same as the LG G Watch ), and I've been thinking of how good it would look once I got it on there. I figured I could squeeze it under the circular lip when I saw it was just too thick. The leather backing did not agree with me ... The strap on the Moto 360 is easy enough to change. You do it like any other watch, whether it be Android Wear , or Pebble , or Timex. It uses the same spring bars many of us are familiar with, and the process is fairly simple . But you will need to make sure the strap you want to use is thin enough to fit under the little lip on the circular back cover. Now Moto did tell us that they only recommend their leather straps. And they are very nice leather straps, indeed. I'll see if someone can't re-stitch the backing in place and put my favorite strap back on another watch. In the me

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e review

Lenovo's latest convertible Chromebook could be the one you're looking for We're starting to see new Chromebooks explode onto retail shelves, and presumably the sales figures are still climbing as well or they wouldn't be there. There are some really great budget options that bring an experience that plenty of people both enjoy and find suitable for their needs , but what is lacking is that mid-range model that brings a little more without being a ridiculously priced Pixel. If you're on the lookout for something a little more premium than some of the other offerings, and aren't afraid to spend just a little more (about $450 at the time of this writing) Lenovo wants to talk with you. The new ThinkPad Yoga 11e may be just what you're looking for. It's not pretty If you're looking for a svelte and sexy laptop, the Yoga 11e isn't going to be on your radar. The Yoga 11e was designed for classroom use, and is built to take

Larry Ellison steps down at Oracle, replaced by new CEOs Hurd and Catz

By Andrew Martonik | Sep 18 2014 | 4:20 pm | Long-time Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has announced he will step down from his post, effective immediately, to be replaced by two new CEOs. Mark Hurd ( formerly of HP ) and Safra Catz will both take over as CEO concurrently, though Oracle isn't handing out the "co-CEO" title to either of them. Though he's one of the richest people in the world, Ellison isn't leaving the company — he plans to stay on full time as the executive chairman and CTO of the company instead. Oracle may be best known from an Android enthusiast point of view as the company often in legal tie-ups with Google over Android and Java , but runs as an extremely large business with many enterprise products. Ellison steps down in a time where Oracle's growth and earnings have been relatively flat in the past couple of years. Source: CNBC Andrew Martonik "Forever tinkering with gadg

Best Tasker plugins

Tasker is a mighty powerful app in its own right, but I'll confess, one of its best features is the plugins that help it do even more than it could on its own. (The best feature is — and always will be — the wonderful support community that gathers around this app.) Plugins come in many sizes and shapes, but a few stand head and shoulders above the rest. We've covered some of these before , and others will be making their first appearance. Without further ado, let's get automating!

Don't want to create a Google+ profile for your new Gmail account? Now you don't have to

After introducing mandatory signups for Google+ with every new Gmail account back in 2012, Google has eased its stance, and will now let users choose whether they want to create a Google+ profile when they sign up for a new email address. The change, which went live early this month, gives users the ability to opt out of creating a Google+ profile. According to a Google spokesperson, who confirmed the change to WordStream : We updated the signup experience in early September. Users can now create a public profile during signup, or later, if and when they share public content for the first time (like a restaurant review, YouTube video or Google+ post). As the screenshot above indicates, you would only need to create a Google+ profile if you're looking to use the social features of any of Google's services, like leaving a comment on YouTube, for instance. But if you're just creating the email address to register for websites you're not

LG has the world's largest advertisement, and it's in Saudi Arabia

By Andrew Martonik | Sep 18 2014 | 9:51 pm | This isn't something you usually brag about — LG has announced it now has the Guinness World Record for the largest billboard advertisement ever made. The advertisement, which is right outside the Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia, is two football fields long and stretches along a road leading into the airport. LG says it expects a good number of the 20 million people who visit the area to see the billboard. That's a pretty impressive feat, and one that meets the lofty goal of living up to the airport, which is pretty impressive in itself. This just isn't something we're going to see every day — kudos, LG. Source: LG Andrew Martonik "Forever tinkering with gadgets."
