How to Make Better Use of Your Bookmarks Bar

The bookmark bar in the browser has become a feature that is becoming used less over time with the introduction of new features such as speed dial. However, there is a little trick you can use to make better use of your bookmarks bar. 

The trick involves only using favicons in your bookmarks bar, so no words. Basically, what you get is a bookmark bar that fits a lot more bookmarks than before. To use this trick, simply save items in your bookmarks bar without names (just clear the name field). You will get a much cleaner bookmark bar that only has the favicons of various sites. So, what are you waiting for? Give it a shot.

Note: This only works well if the sites you want to put in the bookmark bar have favicons

How do I Get Notified of Steam Price Drops?

Steam is a great service but it can get a bit annoying to have to check the price of a game you want everyday, especially during work or school time. So, an easy way to know when to buy a game is SteamAlerts. Simply head to the website at http://steamalerts.com/ and search for a game. Then, you will have the option to get notified when the price drops. You can even choose to get notified when the price goes below a certain value. It's a great tool and we highly recommend it.

How do I use Dropbox to make a website?

Dropbox is definitely a great tool, and you can even use it to host your own website. To do this, make sure that you have free Dropbox account and then head over to http://droppages.com/ and sign in using your Dropbox account. Once you have this done, you can choose to either use a DropPages theme or just use your own HTML files placed in the right directory. You can host an HTML Dropbox site without using DropPages but the advantage of DropPages is that you get your own subdomain. Have questions? Comments? Feel free to drop them below in the comments section.

How do I disable the camera in iOS?

The Camera is a useful feature in iOS but you may want to disable it. Parents who don't want their children taking photos can disable the camera, or you may just want to disable the camera for your own reasons. It is very easy to do this. Simply open up the settings app, and then tap general, then scroll down to restrictions. Tap on restrictions. You should then have the option to allow or not allow certain actions on the iDevice. Then, make sure that you set a restrictions password that you remember. It's as easy as that.
