The website Diffen

Diffen

Here’s a website that lets you compare anything – words, objects, business terms, gadgets and more.

So if you want to know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise; a plasma TV and an LCD TV; AM and FM; epidemic and pandemic, then head to diffen.

You can also browse through categories like health, science, tech, home, food and business to look for common comparisons.

The content for each term is collated and curated by readers, with the main source being Wikipedia.

In case Diffen does not have a readymate comparison table ready for the terms you enter, it will query Wikipedia for an on-the-fly result.

The best part, you can edit its content and add more comparisons to the website.

'NumberSync' AT&T

AT&T becomes the first carrier to link all of your devices to a single phone number

AT&T announced a new service called NumberSync on Wednesday which will allow customers to attach a single phone number to all of their connected devices. Once the service launches, AT&T customers will be able to send and receive messages, make phone calls and more from any phone, tablet or wearable device, all using the same primary number.

The best part about NumberSync is that it doesn't rely on Bluetooth or any other location-based technology in order to provide service to all of your devices. Instead, NumberSync will operate over AT&T's network, which means that even if your main smartphone is turned off or disconnected entirely, you'll still be able to use the service on other devices.

It's also worth noting that there's no additional charge for this service. If you have four connected devices on an AT&T plan, you can give them all the same phone number without paying a penny more than what you're currently paying.

Microsoft SEND

Microsoft’s new Send app makes email more like WhatsApp

You see only the messages started in Send-not your entire email inbox. But since Send is based on email, you can message anyone with an email address. No additional sign up steps and the people you message can respond from anywhere, even if they don't have the app. This also means the conversation doesn't have to stop when you put down your phone. Send messages are delivered to your email inbox, too. Letting you respond from your computer, when it tickles your fancy.

Windows Dropbox

Dropbox update now lets you Drag and drop URLs 

                             Dropbox update now lets you Drag and drop URLs on the web and PC, view them later on any device. Now, you can drag and drop URLs into your Dropbox - on the web and on your desktop - and open them on any of your devices. This means you can take your bookmarks anywhere, instead of having them confined to a certain browser on a certain computer. But it also means you can organize all your information, no matter the format, into Dropbox folders - so your information is in one central place.

For example, let's say you're planning an event. Your event agency uses Word documents, and your marketing team puts everything in an online company wiki. Instead of checking two (or more) different locations for the information you need, you can put everything in a dedicated Dropbox folder that's shared with the team - so your wiki URLs are next to your Word docs, which are next to the vendor invoices and the invite design mockups - and everyone can have easy access to all the files they need, on all their devices, from that one Dropbox folder.

This feature is also great for students, who can organize and store URLs of academic sources during research - for reading on the go or for future reference when drafting a paper.
