It often happens to me at office that I want to print out something immediately and I am faced with this undeletable print job just infront of my present job. Neither will it get cancelled, nor it allows me to print pages which I want. So how to get rid of this annoying little thing?
1. Copy As Path
Many of us upload photos, videos and other files to the internet. This is particularly cumbersome since you will have to click on the browse button and then browse through the folders and files until we get what we wanted to upload.
Windows 7 has provided many controls to users to customise the appearance of the OS. The only sad point is about the logon screen with which the OS welcomes its users.
Though there is nothing bad with the picture, but we all get tired seeing the same picture everytime. It is indeed true that a majority of us might have already thought about changing the picture.

As a blogger, I always need photos to be edited before it is published. I have a number of photo editing softwares bundled along with my OS. Those softwares require one to have a minimum level of expertise to work on to get optimum results.
Online Photo Editor, I was thinking, would have much lesser options than the ones available with my OS. After having found Phixr, I am always using their service for editing photos.
Their interface is simple and very user friendly. You can upload your photo and the canvas is yours. There are quite a number of options available. You can crop it, rotate it, spread your canvas a bit more larger, add special effects, put your text on it and lot more.
We always equate wireless with freedom. While there are a lot of advantages over the wired network, the wireless network does certainly have some disadvantages. First and the foremost among them is the un-authorised intruders into your network.
As the networks are becoming less dependent on wires, it is essential for us to monitor, who is actually using our network.
Wireless Network Watcher is a tool which allows you to scan your wireless network and displays the list of computers and other devices that are connected to it. It shows their names, IP address, MAC Address, Network Adapter Company and information about the device.
There is a provision to export the list to html/xml/csv/text file for later use.
Web is for everyone, so there should be a space for each one of us to express ourselves to the world.
Buying a domain and creating a space for your expressions, can be a little costly. So here it is, a disposable webpage which stays alive for a few days. Disposablewebpage.com is a site which allows users to create disposable webpages and keeps it alive for 90 days.
Youtube is an amazing and a very popular site which allows people around the world to exchange information by means of videos. It has everything for everyone and it is big. Yet sometimes, you want to see a certain video and Youtube displays a message that the video has been restricted in your region due to some reasons.
Freedom is all what we like. So here is a little website that offers you freedom to view the videos you like.
While being proud to be the generation that first went online, we too have the biggest threats online with us. The net has grown to a very huge proportion and so does the threats. Nothing can be taken for granted. An email from your best friend can also have a virus or a malware which might have got attached to the mail without his or her knowledge.
An antivirus software has become an indispensable element of your computer. Today I want to introduce you to a site where in you can upload your suspected files and get them scanned for free.
Internet is a very vast library of information. You have access to millions and millions of pages of information about virtually anything. Reading each and every article may not be possible due to many reasons mainly due to time constraint.
This is where this website comes to help. You can save the article in PDF format and keep it with you for reading at a later date. The service is free and fast. The site gives you various options for saving the file. You can directly download it, have it send to your email address, your google docs account or even can be shared using facebook and twitter. All you need is to copy the URL and paste it to the site and click on a button.

Its free and simple. You need to fill in your email address and a password and you are on. Then one has to fill in his details and rest will be taken care of by the website. There are a lot of templates for you to choose. Moreover you can even re-arrange the resume at a later date too.
It is indeed painful to lose your mobile, whether it is an ordinary phone or a costly smartphone. The phone carries a lot of information about you and people around you, which can be manipulated by others to their advantage. The amount of information stored are much more in the new generation smart phones. While the police authorities can track your mobiles using the IMEI number, it is a fact that not more than 10% people get them back that way. There can be many reasons for that. Tracking your lost mobile is therefore pretty tiresome and almost impossible.
There are a lot of apps available in the market to protect your device when its lost. I will cover that topic later.
I have been thinking about how to help people in this regard and I came up with a small idea of letting people enter the details of their lost as well as found mobiles. Alternatively, based on those details, I am working on how to make the database a searchable one, so that a person wishes to search whether the phone he is about to buy has been reported stolen or missing can just enter the IMEI number and get the answer. I, being not a programming guy, am taking a bit of time on that. If any one of you can help me in this regard, it would be too cool.
Here is the site which I have compiled using the google spreadsheets. I request all those who have lost their mobiles register in the site, so that it can be really useful to the general public as well as you. I also request you to spread the word about this so that the database gets pretty big to reflect the real statistics.
Please visit the site by clicking here.
We had earlier published the details about learning programming online for free at Codeacademy. Here they are again with Python. It is indeed worthwhile to learn a bit of programming considering the tremendous influence of computers in our day to day life.
