8. Close Safari tabs on other Apple devices Yosemite and iOS 8 saw the introduction of a lot more con- nectivity between your Apple devices, which Apple has dubbed ‘Continuity’. If you open Safari on your Mac you’ll see there’s a new ‘Show all tabs’ icon in the top right hand corner, next to the New Tab button. Clicking show all tabs will reveal the tabs you have open on your Mac, but if you also have an iPhone or an iPad, it will display any tabs you’ve left open on those devices too. This also works the other way around - any tabs left open on your Mac can be viewed in your iOS device. With this feature, you essentially gain very limited remote control over your Mac, iPad or iPhone. Perfect if you’ve got some sensitive or embarrassing web pages open on your loaned iPad and you weren’t sure whether or not you closed them down or if you want to pick up your browsing from where you left off on another device.

HYPER SUDOKU How to play Kakuro: The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And, just like in a crossword, some of the dark cells will contain numbers. Some cells will contain two numbers. However, in a crossword the numbers reference clues. In a kakuro, the numbers are all you get! They denote the total of the digits in the row or column referenced by the number. Within each collection of cells - called a run - any of the numbers 1 to 9 may be used but, like sudoku, each number may only be used once.
