Programming puzzles are a fun way to practice and hone your programming skills. To solve these puzzles, you'll need to exercise the programming part of your brain, only to become a rocking programmer.
How many books on programming have you read till date? Going by the lists we have given till now, the answer would be many. But books can only get you so far. A programmer's true skill is developed by practice. The best known programmers have often emphasised on how important it is to keep coding as much as possible. So, getting on to programming puzzles is a great idea.

Window weblog 7Tutorials has done another round of their web browser battery usage tests, and the results are pretty much the same as usual: Internet Explorer keeps your computer running longer.
Which version of Internet Explorer (Touch or Desktop) depends on your hardware, but on each machine, Internet Explorer came out ahead. In some cases, by a pretty big margin—for example, Chrome lasted nearly two hours shorter on a Toshiba tablet, and about an hour shorter on the Surface Pro 2.
Of course, that doesn't mean you should always use Internet Explorer, but if you're somewhere without an outlet, it may be worth a temporary switch. Check out 7Tutorial's most recent round of tests at the link below.
Sometimes, the simplest way to do something isn't the most obvious way. A lot of gestures and shortcuts aren't exactly intuitive, but they can make certain tasks a lot faster. Here are 10 of our favorite shortcuts and gestures on iOS.P
For the purpose of this, we're going to try and skip some of the more obvious ones—like swiping up to bring up the control center. Instead, we'll be focusing on ones most people don't know, have forgotten about, or are otherwise just not quite as popular. Here we go!P
Check out the video above to see all these gestures in action.P
10. Pull Down to RefreshP
Okay, we're starting with an easy one that many of you probably know: pull to refresh. This gesture's been around for awhile, but it isn't always obvious. If you're looking at a webpage, inbox, or other app and you want to refresh its contents, just pull it down. You should see an arrow or icon along the top that, once you've pulled down far enough, will indicate its refreshing the app.P
9. Swipe to Reveal Timestamps in Messages, or More Options in MailP
iOS has a pretty clean interface, but in doing so, it sacrifices a bit of extra information. In Messages, if you want to see when a message was sent or received, just swipe to the left to see the timestamp. Similarly, you can swipe over a message in Mail to get more options, like a Delete button right from the inbox.P
8. Swipe to Go Back One ScreenP
This particular gesture works in a bunch of different apps, including Mail, Messages, Settings, Notes, and Safari. If you want to go back a screen—say, from the current message back to your inbox in Mail—just swipe from the very left edge of the screen to right. You can peek at the previous screen or switch to it entirely. In Mail, this will take you to the previous page, or if you swipe in the opposite direction, take you forward.P
7. Navigate the Home Screen and Multitasking Drawer on the iPadP
The iPad has a few gestures that use four or five fingers for easier navigation. Pinch with four or five fingers to go back to the home screen without clicking the home button, or swipe four or five fingers up to see the multitasking interface. Of course, you don't even need to see the multitasking strip if you don't want to—just swipe four or five fingers left or right to switch apps immediately. (Note that if these gestures don't work, you may have to turn them on in Settings > General).P
6. Type Faster with the iPad's Split KeyboardP
If your thumbs are accustomed to typing on a phone and not a tablet, you can get a more comfortable keyboard by holding down on the keyboard key, or pulling the keyboard apart. That way, you can type with your thumbs. You can even drag the keyboard button upwards to put the split keyboard anywhere on the screen. Plus, it has a few hidden buttons to make typing easier.P
5. Type Numbers, Symbols, and Capital Letters FasterP
If you hate pressing Shift to get a capital letter, or the number button to get a number, there's a faster way: just press the Shift key and drag your finger to the letter you want. Or, press on the number key and drag it to the number you want. It's a much easier way to type those special characters. And speaking of special characters, don't forget that you can hold down on a keyboard button to get special characters for that letter (including ".com" if you hold down the period button in Safari).P
4. Quickly Change or Move an Event in the CalendarP
Nobody likes going into a calendar event and typing in a new event time just to move it. In the Calendar app, you can actually move events around just like you would icons on your iPhone home screen. Tap and hold on the event in day mode, and you'll see two dots appear around the box. You can then drag the edges up or down to change the duration of the event, or tap and drag the entire even to move it.P
3. Press and Hold Mail's Compose Button to View Your DraftsP
You can view your email drafts from Mail's main menu—you know, where it lists all your inboxes and folders—but that takes a few taps. If you want to get there quicker, just press and hold on the "Compose" buttonin the bottom right-hand corner. It'll pull up a list of your saved drafts for you, so you can get back to writing that oh-so-important message.P
2. Press and Hold Safari's Back Button to View Your HistoryP
Want to see the last few web pages you visited? You could tap that back button over and over again, or you could just press and hold on the back button. This works in both Safari and Chrome, and you'll see all the pages that brought you to your current tab. It may work in some other browsers too; however, we haven't tested them all.P
1. Tap the Menu Bar to Scroll UpP
When you're reading a web page, article, or other long text—in any app—you don't need to manually scroll all the way back to the top. Just tap the menu bar at the top of the screen and you'll jump back up to the top of whatever you're reading.
In the past six months that I've been a content crafter at Buffer, I've been writing a lot. I've also been trying to write regularly on my own blog and for my startup. That's a lot of writing. During this time, I've been experimenting with small changes in my workflow, my writing process, and the types of content I produce.P
This post originally appeared on the Buffer Blog. P
The result has been an improvement in my writing and a better understanding of how I work best. Hopefully you'll find some of these things helpful in improving your own writing!P
Expose It to Different People for FeedbackP
Feedback is hugely important. If I don't spend long on a piece, I often overlook small typos or grammatical issues. I don't craft my words quite as carefully as I could, and I tend to repeat myself. Having someone read over my writing can highlight these issues and help me to clean up my work.P
On the other hand, if I spend a long time on a piece, it can be just as bad. It's easy to become lost in a piece after a while, and have trouble stepping back and seeing it objectively. It's also hard to forget all of the extra context I have in my head by that point, and read it as a reader, who has little or no context about the topic. Again, having someone else read my work really helps at this point. If nothing else, it gives me a break to refresh my mind before I come back for more editing. Usually, though, I find my work improves from other people's suggestions.P
While [Buffer co-founder] Leo is usually the person who reads through my blog posts for Buffer, occasionally we'll have a discussion in our Content Crafters room in HipChat and more of the team will jump in. It's surprisingly helpful to get ideas and feedback from multiple points of view.
Cold fusion. The moment I type those words, I know that half of you will smile with excitement — while the other half will grab your pitchforks and chase me out of town. No other topic, perhaps with the exception of PS4 vs. Xbox One, has caused as much dissension amongst ExtremeTech readers. On the one hand, we have a technology that, if it works — if it can really produce unlimited amounts of cheap, green electricity — could change society forever. On the other hand, there are a lot of scientists who are adamant that the technology is snake oil — a scam that’s perpetuated by writers such as myself. On the off-chance that cold fusion does turn out to be the savior of civilization, though, I’m going to keep on writing about it. Today, the big news is that a large US investment company has acquired the rights to Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat cold fusion technology. That investment company, Cherokee Investment Partners, appears to be interested in deploying the cold fusion tech commercially in both China and the US.
Cold fusion, also known as low-energy nuclear reaction (LENR), is a technology that promises to create huge amounts of green energy from very cheap fuel. In the case of Rossi’s E-Cat (Energy Catalyser), nickel and hydrogen are fused into copper — a process that has 10,000 times the energy density of gasoline, and 1,000 times the power density. For more background information on cold fusion/LENR, and why it’s safer and cleaner than normal nuclear reactors, read our previous E-Cat story. Suffice it to say, the scientific community’s main contention is whether this reaction is actually possible or not. Rossi says he’s found a special catalyst that makes it possible; lots of other scientists, though, claim it’s hogwash. (Read: 500MW from half a gram of hydrogen: The hunt for fusion power heats up.)
Andrea Rossi, with one of his E-Cat LENR devices
Putting aside whether the tech actually works or not, it seems that the rights to Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat have been acquired by a US partner: Industrial Heat. Industrial Heat appears to be a new LLC set up by the CEO of Cherokee Investment Partners, Thomas Darden. Rossi had previously spoken about a mysterious American partner, but (in true Rossi fashion) had previously declined to say who that partner was — it’s now all but confirmed that Darden/Cherokee was the partner in question. Cherokee has previously worked in the energy sector, investing in solar power and waste-to-energy technology.
How cold fusion/LENR could theoretically work — hydrogen atoms fusing with a nickel lattice, to creat copper.
Industrial Heat, according to a press release dated January 24, has been “preparing numerous patent applications” to protect its newly acquired cold fusion technology. The press release indicates that a key factor in the acquisition was the May 2013 research paper, compiled by independent scientists, who found that the E-Cat was producing “anomalous” amounts of energy. There are also reports that Darden recently visited China, to showcase the E-Cat to Chinese officials and businesspeople. China is reportedly looking at using the E-Cat to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. (Read: NASA’s cold fusion tech could put a nuclear reactor in every home, car, and plane.)
While the Industrial Heat acquisition adds a lot of credence to Rossi’s claims, it’s still not scientific proof that LENR is actually occurring inside the E-Cat. Rossi says that he has a team of international scientists that are planning to do another round of tests on the E-Cat. Their tests should “end in March,” with a peer-reviewed report to follow sometime after that. The May 2013 study left a lot of questions unanswered, which in turn led to the authors’ conclusions being mostly dismissed. Hopefully this next study will finally prove that cold fusion is real.

While today’s PCs are much more advanced in terms of looks, computing power and almost everything else, the golden oldies will never be forgotten. In fact, one of the oldest PCs is not only a revolutionary device, it is also the most popular. While technology is all about the future, it has always taken the past into account, very seriously. Keeping that in mind, let’s take a look at 10 of the most popular computers that have ever been sold!
