Elevator Technologies of tomorrow

Taking the stairs is rare these days unless and until you're someone who loses sleep over calories. You come home after a long day, jam your fingers on the elevator button twice or thrice or up to the point where someone asks how bad your day went and get inside for a few awkward seconds standing beside strangers who are equally eager to get off from this temporary confinement. We don't really care about something as trivial as “how good the elevator functioned”. Call it our habit of shutting out certain matters we deem as insignificant or simply being ignorant- ironically, there's an entire industry that cares a lot about how smoothly you get from the ground floor to your apartment or to that kickass hotel suite.

How not to ruin conversations

Starting a conversation and keeping them on are the most uncomfortable sweat-breakers some of us face every day.

Windows 10: First Impressions

For the past one year, we've been keeping track of Windows 10 and every little feature they introduced with each new update of the beta. But at the end of the day, it was still buggy and unstable.

Should you get a refurbished device?

One thing you've got to understand is that refurbished devices are not secondhand. The main difference lies in the products' usage time. A refurbished phone or anything ELSE in this matter has the “refurbished” tag with its name probably because its packaging got damaged somehow or a customer gave it back for a refund.
