Voice Calling Test

Which voice calling app uses the most data per minute? We tested the top 10 Free voice call apps, which use data to place calls, can offer a cheaper way to keep in contact with friends abroad and come to the rescue when you’ve used up your monthly minute quota. However, with multi-gigabyte data plans still often coming at a premium price, the busiest chatters out there could soon eat into their monthly allowance using voice over data calls. To shed some light on the issue, we’ve gone back over our list of 10 free call apps to investigate just how much data these apps end up consuming. In the list you’ll find popular apps such as Hangouts, Skype, WhatApp and Viber, as well as regional favourites including Line and Nimbuzz.

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks

Microsoft Aims To Kill Google Chromebooks With $149 Windows 10 Laptops Despite a lacklustre start, Chromebooks are becoming relatively popular in the super-budget end of the portable market. This has worried Microsoft for some time. After all, with a Google-centric experience, not to mention an operating system in the form of Chrome OS, there’s little if anything to be gained here by Microsoft and everything to lose. That’s why it’s targeting the Chromebook specifically, with a most likely Windows 10-based $149 laptop.

Spartan Vs. Rest!!

Spartan For many, it’s not exactly a confidence booster that Microsoft’s forthcoming new browser will be a “Windows App,” rather than a traditional desktop application. It sports the characteristic borderless frames and blockily minimalist aesthetic, and the overall impression is of a stripped-down, simplified version of IE, according to an initial appreciation by Network World’s Howard Wen. ( "First Look: Microsoft's new Spartan browser for Windows 10" ) But, in a lot of ways, that’s probably a good thing – Chrome’s got a very similar look and feel, and it’s doing pretty well for itself. Spartan appears as a Windows app Chrome So what about the browser Spartan’s trying to knock off of its perch? Chrome’s still got major advantages over the rest of the field, including a perceived performance edge, simple and elegant design, and tight integration with Google’s wildly popular web services like Gmail. Simplicity is key for Chrome For the moment, those features...
