Well, sorry for those who have been misled by the title. This is not some advanced modeling software that can readily create 3D models from JPEGs. Make 3D a web tool that lets you view 2D images converted to simulate a 3D environment. If you ask me, this is a very interesting imaging algorithm by […]

One funny thing I’ve seen while attending a corporate presentation is have one guy try to access a website typing a few letters and have the address bar history refer him to the porn sites he had visited. Imagine the embarrassment of that guy and the crazy looks everyone had. But whether it’s hiding traces […]

10TV did an interesting undercover bust operation on three of the popular PC repair centers in the US. And it was very interesting what they eventually found out. What they did was they took a laptop, tweak the BIOS to create an error (a fairly easy fix), and they took it to three leading repair […]

Amit over at Digital Inspiration wrote this great article on the modus operandi of the AdSense click fraud scheme in India. India ranks among the highest in click fraud (as shown in the map above, via Click Forensics). So basically what they do is:
You basically create a website and then write a few articles […]

This is yet another development in the tag-board technology.
In my early days of blogging, adding a tag-board for getting quick and easy replies from visitors was a must. Though over the years, people have cautioned people from placing tag-boards to encourage people to read posts and place relevant comments. I personally agree with this though […]

Finally! Microsoft has wizened up and decided that as Save as PDF option is pretty handy. And to think that OpenOffice and even Google Docs have had the feature a long time ago. Anyway, straight up, this thing adds a Save as PDF or XPF option in your Save As menu. And depending on your […]

Huzzah! After nearly a year of not posting anything related to Internet Explorer (that’s how I hate using that non-standards compliant browser), here’s one. Not that I don’t use IE since I do for IE Tab to log-in to multiple accounts at the same time.
Anyway, one feature that Firefox has that readily trumps IE is […]

The Big Brother phenomenon plus the idea of having a Department of Homeland Security has definitely made everyone paranoid. Do you think Big Brother is reading your e-mail? Sharing your porn? Browsing pictures of your puppy, Cuddles? Well, this guy probably believes so when he found a keylogger strapped on to his brand-spanking new Dell […]

Finally! The one thing I’ve been waiting for in Gmail Chat! If you’re a Gmail Chat user and would want to hide from those pesky contacts, you can now use the invisible mode.
Before this, I just opted to sign out of Gmail Chat and leave it that way. I do have some annoying people in […]

Now this would be one of the things that do not have much use for the common person but some choice people might find very useful. Personally, I’m thinking of productive uses for this add-on but hey, there’s not many people who need to generate Lorem Ipsum texts within their browser.
But here’s a Lorem […]

The PDF as a file format has really caught on and even when interchanging documents with friends and clients alike, I always export them via PDF rather than assuming they have Microsoft Word or OpenOffice. While generally, it’s not something that becomes a problem, many people hate having to fire up Adobe Reader. Loading it […]

I have to admit that it took me a while to install Greasemonkey with my Firefox just because I like to keep things simple. I’m a minimalist of sorts. Still, finally getting around installing opened new doors for me and installing a few scripts streamlined my browsing experience a bit more.
And I know there […]

So our favorite browser is quite the memory hog and, as I’ve been told, it loads quite slowly too compared to Opera and even Internet Explorer (a travesty!). And it’s quite true. Even with Windows Vista prefetch, a dual-core processor and a couple gigs of RAM, it still takes quite a while to load.
Apparently, […]

I have had my beef with Wikipedia being used as a source for academic work but I can’t deny it’s usefulness for quick and dirty information gathering. But with the 2,209,000+ articles, browsing through the pages can be tedious chore. Unless, of course, you get a sneak peak of what lies behind a link.
Well, I […]

And who would’ve thought that even e-mails have a sending limit? We know that there are caps on the file sizes of attachments and that you have more-or-less a 6GB limit in your mailbox space but a sending limit? Probably to safeguard using the system for spamming. Exceed the limits and you get a […]
