Microsoft’s OneNote is a great tool for keeping random notes, research, shopping lists, and whatever else you feel the need to jot down. But it doesn’t really have a great way to extract notes based on date. That’s where a fantastic add-in called Onetastic can help. Built by Microsoft developer Omer Atay, Onetastic adds a calendar, called OneCalendar, to the Windows desktop version of OneNote (Windows Vista SP2 and up). Onetastic also adds other features such as desktop quick links to specific pages and an easy way to add macros. Many of these extra features are worth exploring, but we’re only…

Less than a week after sharing some sample pictures captured with the Mi 5’s camera, Xiaomi VP Hugo Barra has released the first video teaser for the company’s upcoming flagship smartphone. Contrary to what one would expect, the Mi 5 doesn’t make even a single appearance in the video, which is aimed at trumpeting the device’s speed. Instead, the teaser features record holder Xiao Lin Cen, who can skip rope 1096 times in 3 minutes. “Forget everything you know about speed, #Mi5 will show you the meaning of fast in just 7 days now,” Barra says in the post accompanying…
If you think the S&P is primed to bounce, you might want to take a look at high-beta stocks. These are the names that tend to track the S&P most excitedly — climbing the most when the market rises and falling the furthest when the market skids. Given that stocks as a whole have suffered this year, it’s little surprise that these high-beta stocks have had an especially rough go of it. Dividing all of the stocks in the S&P 1500 with market values above $500 million into quintiles based on their beta measures, one finds that the average 2016…
The Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) has been given the OK by the FCC (after it was certified by the Bluetooth SIG). This certification puts the battery capacity at 3,300mAh – a nice 300mAh bump from the original (and it also disproves the 4,300mAh claim). The phone has been benchmarked a couple of times, both in Snapdragon and Exynos flavors. The Exynos model will be the new 7870 Octa, based on Cortex-A53 and Mali-T830 and built on 14nm. The Snapdragon model is less clear – GFX Bench detected Snapdragon 615 (same as the original model), but kernel patches suggested a newer…
Huawei will definitely be attending MWC 2016 – that was made pretty clear, after the Chinese manufacturer officially sent out invites for its February 21 event. What still isn’t clear, however, is what announcements we can expect to see there. Yesterday, a rumor hinted at the possibility of a hybrid laptop, dubbed the Huawei Matebook. But even before word got out for the alleged PC offer, the possibility of a new Huawei P9 has been discussed at length. Now, a new set of official-looking renders seems to further prove the imminent announcement. The shots also provide some eagerly-anticipated insight on…
1COMMENT Hayden Dingman | @haydencd Games reporter, PCWorld Mar 3, 2016 12:52 PM Regular readers may know I’m pretty excited about a little game called Obduction, a.k.a. “Cyan’s long-awaited spiritual successor to Myst.” I’ve gone to Spokane.

But even if you’re not attending, you get to reap the spoils of…

You’ll soon be able to play your PlayStation 4 games on your Windows PC and Apple Mac. Sony is releasing an update that will allow its “Remote Play” feature to be compatible with rival devices, the company announced on its official blog Tuesday.

However, this is the first time Sony is opening this feature up to Apple and Windows. Could the next PlayStation be a glove and avisor? The PlayStation 4 3.50 update…
The U.S. is aggressively targeting ISIS in cyberspace, attempting to halt the group’s ability to communicate electronically, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said Thursday. His comments build on those from earlier this week when, for the first time, the Department of Defense admitted to an active offensive cyberspace mission. “There is no reason why these guys ought to be able to command and control their forces,” Carter said Thursday morning at a Microsoft-sponsored event in Seattle. Drawing a parallel with the use of more conventional tools of warfare like missiles, Carter said the attacks are intended to hit the heart…
