Top 10 OneNote Tips

The Windows 10 OneNote app is great for taking notes for work or personal projects. Get more from it with Roland Waddilove’s top tips

1 Access Your Notes Online


The OneNote app in Windows 10 stores your notes in a file on OneDrive and places it in the Documents folder. If you need to access your notes on a different computer, such as a Windows 7 PC or a work computer, go to the OneDrive.com website in a browser, click the menu button in the top-left corner and click OneNote. It lists the notebooks, and after selecting the one you want, it opens in the browser.

Notebook sections are listed down the left-hand side online but across the top in the Windows 10 app. Otherwise, most of the menus and features are the same. There are differences, though. For example, the Windows 10 app has drawing functions, while the online version of OneNote can record and insert voice notes.

Remembering… 3D Monster Maze

Remembering… 3D Monster Maze

David Hayward recalls a time when dinosaurs were really scary

A few weeks ago, I fondly recalled the ZX81, a tiny computer that set many of us off on this weird and wonderful journey into hobbyist technology. This week, I’m taking a quick look at one of the most influential titles ever published on that machine: 3D Monster Maze.

Since we’re about to see the release of a new Doom title, it seems fitting to feature the granddaddy of all first-person games. 3D Monster Maze took my breath away when I saw it for the first time. I had a ZX81 with a 16KB RAM pack, but all I had to play were things I created myself (getting the pound sign to move across the screen before it crashed) or one of the many educational titles that my parents bought.

Take to the skies with this tiny flier

2016 is certainly shaping up as the year of the drone. The market has expanded considerably in recent months, with each newly released model offering more and more functionality.

Extreme Fliers, a UK-based company, has recently launched its newest palm-sized model, the Micro Drone 3.0, designed for both novices and more experienced pilots.

Want to know the time. Ask Michael Fereday with his Huawei Watch

The Huawei Watch brings together the functionality of a watch, fitness tracker and a two-way link to a smartphone, whether of the Android or iOS persuasion. Befitting its title of 'Watch', this device’s appearance could easily be mistaken for a traditional wrist-watch with its matte-black casing and leather strap. There's even a small, protruding knob whose sole purpose is to revert to timekeeping mode from other views supported by this product. The watch element has a diameter of 9.42mm and a thickness of 11.3mm, which makes it slightly larger than my usual Casio timepiece.

Linksys unleashes all the abbreviations with its latest router

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen some pretty extreme router designs hitting the market.

But from the outside, the Linksys Max-Stream EA7500 doesn’t pay homage to a stealth bomber or the weekend-wear of a Sith Lord. It’s large, but stylish without being outlandish, and our homes could stand more restrained gear of this variety.
