Depending on how and where you use your computer, you may need to change network settings regularly.

This can be the case if you use a laptop at home and in office for example. Windows doesn't save different network profiles which means that you have to switch manually or write your own batch files or scripts to automate the process.

AVG unveiled Invisibility Glasses, a new product from its Innovation Labs, yesterday in Barcelona.

I have to admit that I imagined a different kind of product when I read its name, thinking of a product that would make the wearer invisible or one that would automatically remove objects or people in your sight when you use the glasses.

Invisibility Glasses serve a different purpose though. They have been designed by AVG to protect your privacy when you are in public.

If you visit websites like Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt or other news type of sites regularly, you may have noticed that it is difficult on some to keep up with the flow of news.

There are ways around this. You could open the newest linked article or item each time before you leave the site to mark it as read, or bookmark it instead if you prefer that option.
