Why do we need budgeting apps ? The most common reason new businesses fail is lack of planning. Bosses and employees may be passionate and industrious, but if they don’t have a set schedule of planned performance, they’ll basically be flying blind. These quarterly statements are called budgets and they generally include simple tables made up of numbers. Creating a budget gives management the ability to monitor progress against the stated or budgeted figures and goals. Every major corporation on Earth prepares a budget every three months (each quarter), and uses it as a guide to help them meet quarterly earnings. In the past, budgets for big companies took weeks, even months to prepare. But with help of technology, it is now possible to create an accurate, easy to understand budget plan in no time. This lets owners make decisions and manage their businesses based on budgeted figures, which may vary slightly from actual figures. In other words, it gives managers greater transparen...

All of Apple's products are the subject of rumour and speculation for the entirety of their life cycle, from the earliest speculative articles (e.g. iPhone 6 features on the day of the iPhone 5 release ), to blurry images and specification leaks for months before release, to last-minute feature inclusions right up to the launch itself. Judging by this week's leak, we're still only in the middle of that cycle for the fifth-generation full size iPad . According to schematic images published by NowhereElse.fr, the iPad 5 will be much thinner and lighter than its predecessor. It'll be 7.9 millimetres thick, making it a small amount thicker than the iPad Mini (7.2 mm) but much improved compared to the current generation (9.4 mm). The iPad 5 is also expected to be smaller in its other dimensions. According to calculations done by the French outlet, the iPad 5 will be only 232 millimetres wide and 178.5 millimetres tall - a good reduction compared to the iPad...

I've always been impressed by computers that embrace multi-functionality, like Asus Transformer Book Trio (which runs Windows 8 and Android on separate chipsets) and the Acer R7 (which has a unique 'ezel' hinge allowing it to be used at many different angles and modes). Samsung's Ativ Q , announced last week, may be the most impressive realisation of that concept in a long time, boasting the flexibility of the R7 combined with the dual OS setup of the Transformer Book Trio. So, where to begin? The Samsung Ativ Q is a dual-booting device that runs Windows 8 and a virtualised instance of Android 4.2.2 (which can be swapped to with a button). The device's hinge allows it to act as a traditional tablet or laptop, as well as floating above the keyboard or rotating all the way back to serve as a vertical stand. This flexibility is backed with some seriously impressive hardware. The highlight is the 13.3" display, which hits a mouthwatering 3200 x 1...

Is Visitprofit.com scam or legit? If you've landed on this page, you probably must have gotten a link from your friend or family on social networks like facebook , claiming that you can earn money online easily just by getting your link clicked by others. The link would have been something like- http://visitprofit.com/?ref=xxxx . The thing is the person who sent you the link wants you to register on the site so that he can "earn" a commission of $1 for each member he gets registered via his link bearing the referral id xxxx . I myself was very annoyed when my facebook newsfeed was filled with such links. So I decided to do a bit of investigation and conclude once and for all whether visitprofit.com is a legit way to make money online or just a scam. Firstly, the site is very new. It was started by late May 2013, yet the site says it's a large scale company started in 2010. Below is the entire information of the site from whois.net . Registrati...

IT hardware are the physica...

Asus   always come up with the coolest multi-functional products. The best example is probably the PadFone - the phone that fits inside a tablet that comes with a stylus that's also a  Bluetooth headset  - but their latest big reveal is pretty incredible as well. It's called the Asus Transformer Book Trio , and as the name suggests it has three rather different operating modes. So to start off, we've got what looks to be a normal laptop computer, running Windows 8 on a new Intel Core i7 Haswell processor . There's a nice full HD 11.6-inch display with 10 finger touch support. And that's pretty cool by itself, but it gets  way  cooler. Flip a switch, and the Trio will swap to running Android instead, running off an entirely separate Intel Atom processor . Storage between the two modes is shared too, so you can edit a document on Windows then send it off on Android. So that's pretty cool, but it's not the only way that the Trio is crazy-awesome....
