Spread the word: KONY 2012
Mar 7th
You must have heard Kony 2012 going all over the internet. Have you wondered what it is all about?
Kony 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children to get Joesph Kony, Ugandan guerrilla group leader and head of the Lord’s Resistance Army, arrested before the end of 2012. The operation involves the viral spread of information about Kony and his war and humanity crimes to result in enough support from the American Government for ambassadors to visit Uganda to assist the Ugandan military in the capture and arrest of Kony. It does not matter which part of the world you live in. You can always help to spread the word. This is the least I could do for them.

An automatic bookmark for your novels
Mar 6th
Albatros bookmarks from Oscar Lhermitte on Vimeo.
It is a new kind of bookmark that follows as you turn pages. Albatros Bookmark’s ingenious design eliminates the purpose of even remembering to place a bookmark. It sticks to the end pages and as you close the book it automatically folds into place.
Oscar Lhermitte started a fixed funding campaign at Indiegogo to raise 3000$. Every person donating 10$ or more is being shipped 6 of these, which will sell for 13$ in retail. It has already raised 14k$.
Kolaveri Di is just a leaked part of a bigger hit, yet to be heard
Nov 23rd
Dhanush is definitely a talented actor and we’ve seen now that when he starts singing you can’t stop people from going crazy about it. Recently, this actor turned singer got down to show us what it is to go viral on Youtube. Till date we hadn’t seen many Indian videos growing this popular in such a short span of time. And if you are still wondering what I’m talking about you must be living under a rock lying in a corner of a dark cave. On a serious note, u need to check this video out before you go outside telling you haven’t heard ‘Why This Kolaveri Di‘ (means ‘Why this killer rage?’ in English) yet.
It was confirmed by Dhanush that the clip is only a leaked version of the actual song yet to be released. It was released on youtube as a video shot in the studio where it was being recorded. Music composer Anirudh, Dhanush, Shruti Hassan, Aishwarya and Sound Engineer Sivakumar can be seen in the video. The actual song will embellish the upcoming Tamil film, (3). It recorded more than 1.6 million views on Youtube in under a week, which is huge.
Let us not ignore those seven hundred plus dislikes this video scored. This is the state of pretty much every video on Youtube. Even the best video ever HAS to get a handful percentage of dislikes. Maybe there is a secret society of haters sitting wired in, who hit dislike as soon as a video is released or there are dumb people who wish they could hear something everyone is dancing to or Grammarians. Or it might simply be that the music plays so much around a person that it has passed the limit to which he can tolerate even the sweetest thing on earth. We’ll never know.
Anyway, I love the song and I gave it a thumbs up on Youtube. I wish it goes crazy viral out of the country too and gets more hits than the damned Justin Bieber’s – Baby
If you liked it please press the like button on the left and share it with your friends. Like our fan page on Facebook (on the right). It will be a great support to me

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.
