To bolster these services, Microsoft implemented a host of new tracking "features" in Windows 10.

How To: Theme Windows with Mac OS X, Ubuntu, & Other Skins
Windows has always been pretty customizable, and there are a ton of ways to change up the way your PC looks—though, it hasn't always been easy.

How To: 8 Tricks That Make Boxed Cake Mix Taste Like Homemade
Ask ten different people how they feel about boxed cake mixes, and you'll likely get ten different answers.

Food Tool Friday: Cut Your Cooking Time with a Pressure Cooker
