Rooting an Android
Some of you may have heard about the term “root” or “rooting” with regards to the Android mobile Operating System. This term is not something new to computer and software geeks. The root is the most fundamental level in a UNIX or Linux based operating system. In order to install some apps and to tweak the behavior of an OS, you need the root access.

Ordinary tech heroes
The dictionary definition for the term hero reads; a person who, in the opinions of others, has heroic qualities or has performed heroic acts and is regarded as an ideal or model for the rest of the community. The classical definition implies that you know the person well enough to identify the hero. If you research any civilization, almost all heroes are popular characters with very unique social statuses. In this Information Age, not all leaders have the desire to be famous. But all great heroes from the history to the present have similar stories to tell.
