If you want to locate the identity and address of the person behind an unpublished phone number, you can use the power of the Internet to find the information. Unlike home land-line phone numbers, a cell phone number often remains private and unavailable in public phone directories.

If you are being harassed by an anonymous caller, or you need to find the identity of an important business client, you can legally conduct your own reverse phone lookup for free....

Either way, knowing how to send those JPEG images – which all Android photos are – to others is important....

Embedding a YouTube video player on a Facebook page is different than embedding one on a personal website because Facebook doesn’t expose its source code to users. Google, the company that owns and maintains YouTube, makes sharing YouTube videos simple by providing page links to copy and paste into emails, HTML code, Facebook posts and many websites. When you paste a link into a Facebook post, the video is displayed within the post and can be played, paused and scanned using the embedded playback controls....

An MKV file is a type of video format. This means you can use it to encode a video or a movie, which you can then watch on your computer, or even on a portable video player or laptop. Video files are often quite large, so they are sometimes packed into a special kind of file called an archive. Examples include ZIP or RAR. These files compress the MKV file so that it is smaller and easier to transport....

It can be very frustrating to try to extract text from a PDF file for use in another application. It’s not uncommon for graphics to get in the way or for layout of the document to make it difficult for the test to be transferred in meaningful sentences. Though it’s not impossible to extract text with a copy-and-paste approach, it can be time consuming and doesn’t allow for PDF file text to be exported as a different format....

Although you can play Minecraft by yourself, one of its signature features is the ability to build, explore and fight with other players online.

The iPhone uses an ESN, IMEI, MEID, ICCID or a combination of these numbers to identify the device. Each provides the information necessary to identify the iPhone. One simple way to archive the information involves taking a screen shot of the information directly on your iPhone. You can then store that information on your computer for future reference. You might need one of the numbers if you want to unlock the device or prove to a potential buyer that you hold a legal iPhone, or if you need support online....
