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...

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.

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.

My new Samsung 830 SSD not seen in my Inspiron 1525 laptop BIOS?

I noticed that the drive easily slipped up off the caddy at the sockets end so I inserted with greater care. It seems to be connected now as it does appear in the bios. I'll install the OS soon but I don't expect any problems now. Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Will the Nexus 7 make a better Kindle

Wifey has birthday soon. She just dropped a hint that he'd prefer carrying an eReader than an actual book. Right now I have a Nexus 7 on pre-order but she mentioned a Kindle. Will the Nexus be at least as sharp and clear for text as the Kindle? I haven't used either.
