No Robots: A touching short movie
Mar 7th
No Robots from YungHan Chang on Vimeo.
No robots is a wonderful short story about a time/place where robots are disliked by the society. It is about a man whose prejudiced opinion about robots is broken. Watch the short movie to witness those touching series of events that make a man change his preconceptions.
Beautiful drawing, direction, details and an amazing overall usage of color.
The best way to cheat in exams
Dec 8th
Disclaimer:
The following post has no intentions to encourage one to cheat in exams. It is totally reader’s discretion to cheat or not using this technique. The author cannot be held responsible for any related incidents ever pulled off by smart asses. Please read no further if you think you’ll be greatly influenced or if you think you cannot execute it without getting caught.
In short: Teachers and parents can’t sue me.
Okay, back to the real stuff now. Recently Apple iPod nano 5th gen got cut into half (Fig1)
The Nano 6th gen is much smaller now – Fits the wrist well. It also has a new clock interface – The one which looks like an analogue clock (Fig2)
Also, you get one of these (Fig3) for 25$ on the internet: The RockBand and Incipio’s NGP
Well, if I still need to explain. The new iPod nano can be converted into – what your teacher may think as a simple analogue wrist watch. You just have to buy the extra strap accessory (if you already own the truncated 5th gen device). Next, to put all your notes into it follow this.
Connect your iPod to your computer as you normally would
Once iTunes opens, select your iPod under Devices in the Source List on the left side of the iTunes screen
Click the Summary tab
Click the “Enable Disk Use” checkbox in the Options section. You’ll find this checkbox at the base of the screen under the “Summary” tab.
Once finished, then open your File Manager application. Your iPod is now enabled as a disk drive, your File Manager app will recognize it as such. If you click on your iPod, you’ll see the Notes folder. Now highlight ‘the file’ (which should’ve been saved as a .txt file) and copy it to this Notes folder. Then highlight your iPod in iTunes, and choose to eject it.
Voila! Get ready for the exam now. Your weapon should look like this when complete.

Cut the background from your photos
Feb 5th
Struggling with image manipulation softwares to cut the background off your photographs was the old method. It is not something you should do when you have Instant mask with you.
Instant mask is fairly easy to use and removes the background from pictures effectively. It works best when the background is of some distinct color or has a clear sharp boundary with the subject. It offers you a free version with lesser features and an Instant mask pro version with full features. The pro version can be bought or the trial can be used for 14 days before buying.
Again, Instant Mask offers a freeware version with sufficient features also.

Use Google docs as online storage – store any file
Jan 13th
Google now will officially allow uploading any file into the cloud. If you used to use Gmail drafts to save some work online, you can now stop doing that and use Google Docs. You don’t have to carry a storage device with you anymore. All the data you need to access somewhere else can be simply uploaded to Google Docs. The file size limit is presently 250mb. This is a threat to other such paid services, which don’t allow storing more than 2GB without payment.
You can also use a shared folder to share the files with anyone else. For more information, check out our post on the Google Docs blog.
If we look in the past, Gmail changed the way we used our email. It came in with a serious blow to yahoo. The email storage space and attachment size it could provide at that time was the largest in the market and made people to shift to it. Even presently Gmail gives huge storage space which increases every second. I can see a similar trend building up in the cloud storage section again.

It Helps in building bonds with like minded people:
If you are a blogger and frequently comment on other blog posts, at some point in time the author will notice your interest in his/her blog. This helps you to build up your circle of like minded people (bloggers). You get a regular reader and also some good things to read regularly. Also helps to build up traffic in sufficient time. Shoutmeloud explains…
Constant bombarding of small comments never works. Commenting has a proper protocol, it must be something which adds to the content of the post. Or it can be a hearty acknowledgment. Criticisms are desirable if put forward in a polite manner.
It can get you a free ad slot:
AnimHut runs this great offer every month. End of every month the top commentator on the blog is awarded with a free adslot for the month. This month it is giving away two such adslots.
It helps to build backlinks:
Commenting makes an active link on the page you comment. This builds a backlink that is tracked by web crawlers if the link is dofollow type. Nowadays the search engines and ranking websites heavily depend on the backlinks to rate a website. It eventually helps to pump up your blog’s rank.
