There’s a lot of ways to easily make an online store nowadays. From sites directly devoted to just online shops, to plugins of all sorts for systems like WordPress, etc. there is no shortage of options.

How to Use an External Graphics Card with Your Laptop (Video)

While doing the review of the Razer Blade 2016 gaming laptop, I came across the Core: an external graphics card housing made by the same company. What is an eGPU?

The implications of this are pretty incredible. Since games and, in my case, video editing rely heavily on the graphics power of the laptop this means

Square Cash in Hand

How to Use Square Cash to Send/Receive Money (& Why I Like It Over Venmo)

I was invited to try Square Cash, the free money transfer app from the creators of the popular payment processing system you have most likely seen.

Garnering praise from their customers for their slick and intuitive design, securing partnerships with Apple and Visa, and essentially filling a
