Google Search lets you convert RGB and hex color values

There are a lot of things you can do with Google Search. But did you know it can convert RGB and hex color values, too? This option will be particularly useful for designers who do web design and other graphic design work. Simply type in RGB to hex for the color picker tool to show up. You can either input the exact hex or RGB value to convert or just drag the small circle around the palette. If you select the “Show Color Values” at the bottom, that will show information such as HSV, HSL, and CMYK conversions. Quite a nifty addition we have to say.

Yahoo Mail disables auto-forwarding, hinders users from leaving service

It hasn’t been an easy past few months from Yahoo, from being reported that the US government used Yahoo to surveil user emails for intelligence information to a massive hack that compromised at least half a billion Yahoo accounts (also considered the biggest data breach yet). But it seems Yahoo wants to keep a hold of its users for a bit. Those who are trying to enable automatic email forwarding on Yahoo Mail can’t seem to do so now (if you’ve had it on before, it should still work). This feature will let you move to rival services.

According to a Yahoo spokesperson, they are trying to get the feature back up as soon as possible. "The feature was temporary disabled as part of previously planned maintenance to improve its functionality between a user's various accounts." But users who want out, aren’t buying it. "This is all extremely suspicious timing," Jason Danner, from Auckland, New Zealand, told the AP. It makes sense that Yahoo wants to keep users as they are still in the middle of closing a deal to sell itself to Verizon.

Review: Apalon's My Alarm Clock app

Most built-in clock and alarm apps bundled with Android devices are quite minimalistic in terms of features and functionality. You get a standard analog or digital face in one colour, maybe additional alarm features. Frequent travellers, students and other who rely on their smartphones as their main watch, desk clock or alarm have limited options.

Thankfully, Apalon's My Alarm Clock app (Android) brings many features desired by users, including the ability to wake up and go to sleep to your favorite music, get your own collection of exclusive designer clocks, know weather conditions in your area, and light up the darkness with a powerful built-in flashlight.
