Sadly, his death prompted many people across the InterWebs, particularly on social media sites, to ask, Who was Neil Armstrong, and why should I know of him? Surely everyone should know who Neil Armstrong was and what he achieved. After all, he will always be the first person to have walked on the moon.

4 Ways Technology is Enhancing (Not Replacing) Traditional Board Games

Despite some fears that digital board games are replacing the real thing, everything I can see points in the other direction.

Springpad vs Evernote: Why Visual Orientation Matters in an Online Notebook

It's easy to understand why there are tons of online and software notebooks out there to choose from: mainly because there is so much information to manage, bookmark, and share in our online and mobile file cabinets. Clearly Evernote serves this purpose as a cross-platform notebook. It is supported by hundreds of other Internet services, mobile apps, and tools. But no matter how many times I've started using Evernote, I've never been totally happy with it.

Give Instagram A Break And Take PicsArt For A Spin On Your Android

Yes, Instagram isn’t the only game in town. We may or not may be able to give up on your love for Instagram, but that shouldn’t stop us from getting around our tunnel vision and looking at some other really good mobile photo editors (or photo enhancers as I call them).

User-Generated Content Done Right With These 6 Games [MUO Gaming]

One of my favorite things to see in a video game is user-generated content. That is, as long as it makes sense within the context of the game, of course. Some games have done a less than stellar job of implementing user-generated content, and it ends up feeling like a throw-in afterthought. However, when a game gets it right and truly knocks it out of the park, it can be something special to behold.

How & How Often Do You Back Up Your Files? [You Told Us]

Digital formats are a brilliant innovation let down by one fatal flaw: If anything bad happens - be it theft, failure, or natural disaster - to the physical object housing the data, then a lifetime of work (or more likely your whole music and movie collections) can literally be lost forever.
