Is Your Fantasy Football League Legal?

Posted on by

This week, more than 30 million Americans will draft fantasy football teams for the upcoming season.  Many will cash leagues on websites such as CBS, Yahoo, or the Fantasy Football Players Championship.  Meanwhile, others will enter private, in home contests where entry fees and prizes are managed by the participants themselves.

ClearLock bloque las apps que te distraen durante un rato

Posted on by

ClearLock

Desde estas líneas en Androidsis hemos traído algunas aplicaciones que su principal motivo es sacar a relucir el tiempo que solemos gastar diariamente y cuales son las aplicaciones en las que solemos pasar casi todo el día en su timeline, abriendo nuevas conversaciones o lanzando videollamadas a diestro y siniestro. Justamente hace unos meses estuvimos hablando de Instant, una de esas apps que viene de vez en cuando bien instalarla para saber cuantas horas al día miramos la pantalla obnubilados fuera de toda realidad presente solo aquella que surge de esas apps y red sociales del demonio.

Ahora tenemos a una nueva app llamada ClearLock y que nos ayudará para bloquear esas apps que atentan contra nuestra salud y que lo único que consiguen es engancharnos a ellas, y lo hará de tal manera que podamos poner una duración determinada para que luego podamos ya volver a probar sus virtudes y bondades.

Una app distinta a otras por un interesante motivo

ClearLock digamos que viene con las cosas bien claras sin liarnos con muchos menús, opciones y configuraciones. La primera vez que la usaemos a esta aplicación, tendremos que seleccionar que apps queremos bloquear en ciertos momentos donde queremos que el móvil nos deje en paz.

Una vez estén configuradas las aplicaciones, se puede elegir el tiempo de duración en el que estarán bloqueadas para así no nos distraigan. Y aquí es donde entra en juego una de las cualidades de esta app llamada ClearLock, ya que una vez que esté activo, esta app se encargará de bloquear cualquier intento de lanzar las apps seleccionadas para ello.

Solamente reiniciando

Incluso no seréis ni capaces de modificar los propios ajustes de ClearLock para cambiar esa lista de apps o el bloqueo. La única vía para ellos será reiniciar el teléfono completamente. Algo que ya le distingue de otras apps y que es su tentativa para que te arrimes a ella y la instales directamente en tu teléfono.

Una aplicación que podemos tenerla ahí para ciertas circunstancias y momentos y que pondrá límites para controlarnos a nosotros mismos. En definitiva, ClearLock nos ayuda para que sea bien difícil entretenernos con ciertas apps y servicios, lo que sí que hay que tomar en cuenta que tendréis que reiniciar el teléfono si queréis recibir esas menciones de Twitter o ese nuevo mensaje que os haya llegado a Facebook cuando alguien os citó.

ClearLock se encuentra de forma gratuita en la Play Store con todas sus virtudes y bondades sin la necesidad de tener que pagar por ningún tipo de micropago.

Lo dicho, una app con unas prestaciones bien precisas y que viene para ayudaros en esa epopeya de no perder tanto tiempo con ciertas aplicaciones que todos bien conocemos y que suelen llevarse diariamente unas buenas horas de nuestro tiempo.

Si os quedáis con ganas de más al instalar esta app podéis probar OffTime.

New leaked Moto 360 (2nd gen) renders hint at a possible sport version

Posted on by

The original Moro 360 will definitely go down in history as a milestone in wearable tech. The bold Motorola creation paved the way to round displays and helped set new goals and requirements for the niche. Now, only a year into its lifespan, the rapid pace of development has already brought about a successor.

Needless to say, it has been gathering a lot of attention with specs and photos flying all over the place, but despite all the leaked information, the second generation Moto 360 might still have a surprise or two left for its debut.

News of two different size variants of the Moto 360 (2nd gen) has been circulation for quite some time now and at this point, the information is mostly confirmed. A new batch of clean renders, courtesy of @upleaks, seems to prove this yet again, but also puts a brand new twist to the story in the form of an alleged Moto 360 Sport. This sporty version of the device seems to be equipped with a rubber strap, making it ideal for exercise and perhaps even improving its toughness and resistance.

It is hard to say how big the Sport version is without a side by side comparison with the other two models, but the truth is that we are not really sure of their exact dimensions either. From what we currently know, the larger one, allegedly dubbed the 360L will retain the 46.5mm form factor of its predecessor, while the other (360S) will be smaller and potentially cheaper, but we are not currently sure by how much. Their batteries are allegedly different as well, with 375mAh on the larger one and 320mAh on the smaller.

As for the rest of the specs, it seems Motorola has decided to stick with their original “flat tire” screen design. And white one could argue that it was a matter of technological limitation the first time around it is certainly not the case now and could potentially spell trouble for the Moto 360 (2nd gen), as both LG and Samsung out their circular competitors.

Although it bears resemblance to its predecessor, you can clearly tell the new Moto 360 apart, because of the position of its button. On the original this was placed at the 3 o’clock mark, while this time around Motorola’s moved it to 2 o’clock for whatever reason, making it quite similar to the Huawei…

Moto 360 Sport shows up in new leak

Posted on by

Motorola’s 2nd gen Moto 360 is expected to arrive soon, and while the leaks have given us a good idea of what to expect from it, we’re now starting to hear about a variant. @upleaks is reporting that the 2nd gen Moto 360 will launch in September, while a variant called the Moto 360 Sport will arrive a couple of months later in November.

What’s the difference? Well, a leaked image from @upleaks shows us that the Moto 360 Sport will ditch the metal body and metal or leather strap and instead replace it with a polyurethane body and strap. It will also come in at least three color options of black, white and orange. Additionally, the image shows off a fitness tracking app that we haven’t seen on the existing Moto 360, and it can track heart rate, distance, pace and time, making the Moto 360 Sport a great fit for those looking to increase and track activity. Given the change in design materials, it also wouldn’t surprise us if the Moto 360 Sport came in at a lower price than the standard Moto 360, much like Apple has done with the Apple Watch.

You can check out the Moto 360 Sport in the tweet below. We’ll keep you posted on more leaks regarding Motorola’s upcoming smartwatches.

This Is The Best Wireless Mouse You Can Buy

Posted on by

We spent 100 hours researching nearly 200 mice, surveying more than 1,000 mouse users, testing 28 mice ourselves, and consulting with a panel of experts and laypeople to determine that the $35 Logitech Marathon M705 is the best wireless mouse for most people. Our panel of mouse users with varying hand sizes and mousing grips almost unanimously favored the size, shape, and glide of the Marathon over the competition, especially praising its button selection and placement.
