Top 10 Free Responsive Slide Gallery

If your website relies heavily on images, then having an image gallery is a great way to showcase your content on your website. Having said that, this idea may also backfire if visitors are coming from a mobile or touch device. Mobile users deserve some love too, hence the purpose of today’s post.

There are a variety of responsive image galleries, slideshows and sliders to better manage your photos, screenshots and other forms of images on your site. Some incorporate transition effects, fade-in, fade-out and other effects, as well as thumbnail views of the gallery for faster access, flexibility and ease-of-use to view your site in full all-out browser mode and palm-sized smartphone screens.
To make it easier for you to find the right pick for your website’s needs, we have put together a showcase of the best 10 galleries, slideshows and sliders we know of. They are all available for free, making them the perfect addition to position your website well for optimized browser and mobile viewing.
FlexSlider – [demo | download]
An image carousel complete with slide effects and fade animations created by Woothemes, FlexSlider 2 showcases photos and/or videos, and works on all major browsers.

Elastislide – [demo | download]
"Inserting the carousels structure into a container with a fluid width will also make the carousel fluid." Made sense to us but check out the demo for a in-depth look at 5 demonstrations of the potential behind this concept.

Responsive Image Gallery – [demo | download]
Want to give your readers fast access to all images in the same album? Then this is the best gallery mode for you. With options to slide through the thumbnail carousel or through the photos themselves, this method is not unlike how you view the gallery in some smartphones, making it an intuitive experience.

Supersized – [demo | download]
Prefer to showcase your photographs in full-screen mode? Try this Supersized slideshow that resizes your photographs to fit the viewer’s screen, no matter the dimensions.

Photoswipe – [demo | download]
This one works with a build from mobile first approach. Images will swiftly rescale to fit orientations, portrait or landscape and users are treated with both a full gallery view and individual image views that they can easily swipe through. It works perfectly for desktop browsers too.

ResponsiveSlides.js – [demo | download]
Care for a lightweight and responsive slider plugin that works on all major browsers including IE6 to IE9? Set your images sliding with this very responsive slider plugin.

wmuSlider – [demo | download]
Another lightweight jQuery photo slider, this one features a sliding transition and will snap back to the first image in the queue once the viewer reaches the end of the slideshow.

Camera – [demo | download]
Apart from the not-so-common transition effects, this slideshow also has autoplay options (that stops itself when you hover over it), caption and pagination support. It also supports html elements and videos.

RefineSlide – [demo | download]
With a variety of transition formats including 3D transform support, refineslide allows you the luxury to mix-and-match your slideshow effects. It also has good browser support, and a Javascript fallback as well as caption support.

galleria – [demo | download]
A responsive Javascript image gallery that reacts to dynamic measures and media queries. Get quick access to the full album, slideshow video, caption, pop-out option, and full screen mode all in one bar below the photo gallery.

Bonus:

FlexSlider feat. Kwiks – [demo | download]
Folks at webcodebuilder combines Woothemes’ FlexSlider and Jeremy Martin’s Kwicks into one responsive jQuery plugin they call the -FlexSlider feat. Kwiks. This plugin displays Kwicks accordion on higher resolutions, and use FlexSlider on smaller resolution.

The Best Antivirus in 2013

 
Most antivirus vendors that run on a yearly update schedule wait until the fall to release the next year's version, just like car manufacturers. So, the "2014 models" appear in the fall of 2013. They're definitely rolling in; I've reviewed four that actually contain "2014" in the name. Four others come from vendors who've dropped the notion of adding a version or year number, but they're still the "(2014)" editions.
As new versions arrive, most of the same products retain their positions at the top of the heap. Here are the best from the current crop of antivirus products.

Changes & Advances In Gaming

The world of electronic gaming is constantly evolving and expanding, sometimes so quickly that it’s difficult to keep pace. With new gaming devices and technologies constantly coming out, and new gaming websites sprouting up and growing nonstop, it’s easy to fall behind a bit on the latest trends and technologies in gaming. With that in mind, here are a few words on the most significant advances and changes we’ve seen recently in different types of gaming.
Increased Interaction
Undoubtedly, the biggest shift in the world of gaming in recent years is the increased interactive capabilities in various genres of video games. In fact, even if you play a number of these games, you may not quite have noticed just how large a role Internet interaction plays. The best example is probably the online multiplayer modes now seen in popular console games from Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 to FIFA 2013. However, interaction with online communities is prevalent in other types of gaming as well. For example, consider the widespread popularity of mobile app games such as Words With Friends, in which people are able to compete against friends, family, and even strangers from all over the world, at the touch of a button. This level of interaction has completely transformed the gaming industry.
Gaming Regulation
While not specifically a technological revolution of any kind, the spread of gaming regulation is drastically altering (and improving) one of the most active markets in the world of gaming: casino games. Sites like Party Poker that offer users the complete casino experience online are being legally enabled to practice real money gambling all over the world, which is leading to the expansion of a lucrative industry. With many believing that increased regulation will soon spread to the United States as well, the potential for growth in casino gaming online is simply too large to measure.
Dynamic Consoles
A few years ago, with the release of the Nintentdo Wii (followed by Playstation Move and XBox Kinect), the concept of motion sensitive gaming devices became available in people’s homes. Motion controls have since improved, and now there are massive selections of games for popular consoles that involve everything from motion control to voice recognition. Now, consoles may be taking the next step in branching out, as the introduction of the new Nintendo Wii U appears to be a potential game changer. The Wii U offers users a choice between ordinary controls, and an advanced controller complete with its own screen – the idea is that the advanced controller can be used as a portable console, and can allow you to continue a game after turning off your main television. This new system provides a few interesting ideas for where the console industry may be heading next.

Google Glasses

The Google Glasses, which have a five megapixel camera and voice-activated controls, have started to be shipped.
The first devices will go to developers and “Glass Explorers”. Google held a competition earlier this year inviting potential users to come up with ways to use the device, while developers have been eager to be among the first to try out the technology.
Developers working on apps for Google’s smart glasses have been told they will not be allowed to place advertising within the device’s display. The newly-published terms and conditions for developers working on Glass also prohibit companies charging for apps.
According to several sources, those in the Glass Explorer Program are now receiving email notifications about device shipments, while Google also posted the technical specifications of the device for the first time.

Woman Wearing Google Glasses

The bone conduction transducer allows the wearer to hear audio without the need for in-ear headphones – sound waves are instead delivered through the user’s cheekbones and into the inner ear.

The company promises a battery lasting for “one full day of typical use”.
Its display is the equivalent, the company says, of looking at a 25in (63cm) high-definition screen from eight feet away. The device is able to record video at a resolution of 720p.
It has 16GB on-board storage, and connects with other mobile devices via Bluetooth and wi-fi.

The Telepathy One headset developed by a Japanese company has functions similar to Google’s Glass device

Also keeping an eye on the excitement generated by Google will be Japanese firm Telepathy Inc. Their device, the Telepathy One, has been touted as a possible competitor to Google Glass. Chinese search giant Baidu has also confirmed it is working on a Glass-like project – but details are so far scant.

Google Glass Tech Specs:

Fit
•Adjustable nosepads and durable frame fits any face.
•Extra nosepads in two sizes.
Display
High resolution display is the equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away.
Camera
•Photos – 5 MP

Connectivity
•Wifi – 802.11b/g
•Bluetooth
Storage
•12 GB of usable memory, synced with Google cloud storage. 16 GB Flash total.
Battery
One full day of typical use. Some features, like Hangouts and video recording, are more battery intensive.
Charger
•Included Micro USB cable and charger.
While there are thousands of Micro USB chargers out there, Glass is designed and tested with the included charger in mind. Use it and preserve long and prosperous Glass use.
Compatibility
•Any Bluetooth-capable phone.
•The MyGlass companion app requires Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher. MyGlass enables GPS and SMS messaging.

Top 10 Gmail Features You Don't Know

Faster loading

If you are on slow internet connection the Gmail may take a few minutes to load completely. But - you can switch to a basic version of Gmail which will load faster just by adding ?ui=html to the standard Gmail URL.

Save attachments directly to Google Drive

Gmail users can view and save the attachments directly to the Google Drive without having to leave opened mail, according to the latest announcement from Google in a blog post on November 12, 2013.

This means you can save files directly to the Google Drive without downloading them but by just clicking on the hovering Drive button over the attachment previews at the bottom of the opened mail.

Adding to it the new Gmail feature also allows you to move the attachments to specific folders. And it doesn’t mean that you can’t download a Gmail file, that ability will be there with you always.

Google also says that the new feature will work for all types of files be it images, word documents, videos, spreadsheets or PDFs.

The new attachment experience will roll out to Gmail users over the next week and it will be available on desktop first before reaching out toother platforms.

Star your important emails

With huge number of mails making their way into your Gmail inbox, it is often a grueling task to find the one which are important. It could be like finding a needle in stack of needles. To answer the issue Gmail has come up with the “Star” system where you can star the important mails. The default “Star” color is Yellow but you can upgrade to add a selection of colors.

To do this go to the Gear box > Settings > Stars. You can add in different coloured stars, for 1*, 2* and so on. If you make 2* red, then when you go back to your inbox and star a message it will still go yellow for 1*. But then, you can click for a second time and it will turn red! Keep going so you can add in a selection of colours and then search your inbox for coloured stars later. If you want to search for 2* messages that are red, go to the search bar and type in: has:red-star, this will bring up any emails with red stars on them.

 

Backup your messages

If you want to back up mails than the easiest way could be to sign up for a backup email account then you can set up your Gmail account so it forwards emails into the primary Inbox. Follow Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Once you're there just select 'Forward a copy of incoming mail to' and fill in your email address.

 

Multiple email addresses

If you want to have multiple email addresses out of your original email ID and want to receive the same mails in all of the IDs, than Gmail offers you this option. All you need to do is add a full stop to your email address. Google will send the same emails to sammp@gmail.com and to sam.mp@gmail.com. If you want more than you can create s.ammp@gmail.com or any other variation. This Gmail feature is specifically useful if you want to use multiple email alises to sign up to different web services or newsletters.

 

To-do lists

Your Gmail can double as your to-do list keeper than just an email service provider. All you have to do is click on Mail > Tasks and a small task bar will pop up at the bottom. Just fill in your to-do list and add in a due date if you want Gmail to remind you about it. When you're done, tick the box in the corner to get a satisfactory line strike  

Keyboard shortcuts

If you want to navigate through your Gmail account superfast, then there are few shortcuts that can help you. While you are on the Gmail page follow these shortcuts: Ctrl + Enter means send message; Ctrl + . means advance to next window; Ctrl + Shift + c means add Cc recipients; Ctrl + Shift + b

Switching accounts

If you have two Gmail accounts and want to open both of them in the same browser at same time, than you can do it. All you have to do is click on your email address in the top right corner, and select Add account. It will then take you to a separate tab where you can log into your other Google account. If you use Google Chrome it will remember this and save it as a permanent option for to swap to - but if you use any other browser you'll have to add in the email address each time.

Advanced shortcuts

Gmail also offers its users to customize the shortcuts to fit their taste. These can range from shortcuts to opening a new window to compose a message, to moving a conversation to the Bin. To enable these extensive shortcuts, go to the Gear box in the top right corner > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > Keyboard shortcuts on > Save changes.
