My OnePlus One heard a video I'm watching

My android phone was on the desk next to me while I was listening to a calculus lecture on my desktop pc.. Suddenly, the phone screen lit up and displayed google chrome providing a search on "chain rule". I don't feel at all comfortable with my phone now. What is happening?

Windows 10 Still Available as Free Upgrade Using Assistive Tech Trick

I'm working on a Dell Inspiron 560 for a friend of my wife. The hard drive is bad so I installed a used 2.5 inch 320GB HD removed from a laptop for an SSD. I had to download a MS Windows 7 Pro ISO and authorize with the key code on the case. So far so good, but soon learned MS no longer supports...

New build help needed

I placed the order @ newegg. They had no reviews but I find the item just what I wish was available ten+ years ago. I just returned from MicroCenter where I picked up an i5-6500. The ram is SO-DIMM, also from NE. Thanks for the help. If anyone is interested I can report on the build.

New build help needed

Thanks, Ken, for the reply. And thanks for the link to Techspot. I find the Asrock Deskmini very interesting. I don't like the big ATX cases I still use in my house. Cost isn't really an issue, but I do wish to build something that will fill my performance and case size preferences. But...

Need some help with a new build plan

I'm mostly interested in the motherboard. However, I would not turn down advice on all components. How can I request a moderator to move my post to General Hardware?

New ASUS Geforce GTX 750 Ti doesn't work in old mobo

Good call, 79. It was indeed in the bios. Thanks. Why in Windows Experience Index does my windows 7 Graphics performance for windows aero read 1.0? Also, when I scroll my window here in the forum the lines of text do a little rippling as if the drivers aren't working here. I have the most...

Nokia Lumia 520 for $39.99 but ATT Only? New phone recommendation needed.

Since I need "cheater glasses" to read anyway, I use a higher magnification to cheap my way to a bigger screen. This, however, does mean I could utilize this higher res. thanks for your reply

I guess I can't get this for my T-Mobile commitment, so... Can anyone suggest a smartphone for when I start college next month? I don't follow the trends, but I do have a nook hd+ with CM11. I say this to show that I am technically competent but for school I would like anything affordable...

immediatepcupdate.com???

I just had a pop-up from Google Chrome on my Windows 7 machine telling me that I should have Java installed and offering an OK button to push. I closed the tab but I'm concerned how it got on my machine. I was on the Google Finance page. Goggling, I found that domain, listed in the title of...

Considering Lenovo G505 with AMD E1-2100 for Aunt

$249.99 but the APU may be of more importance. Some reviewers cast favor on this. My aunt wants this one so... so be it. I own an older Toshiba with an Intel Core i3 370M that has a much better cpu but the graphics sound slower being Arrandale Intel HD Graphics.

Considering Lenovo G505 with AMD E1-2100 for Aunt

Should I consider an Intel cpu/gpu instead for gift to aged Aunt for lite gaming, email, etc. I've read that the APU graphics is similar to the Ivy Bridge HD Graphics.
