wifi-home-network

Usually, everyone has just one internet connection at home. What if you want to share that internet connection with across all your desktop and laptop computers, your Wi-Fi enabled mobile phones (like the iPhone), media players (like the iPod Touch), video game consoles (like the PS3/Xbox), digital photo frames and any other wireless devices that you may have at home? Yes, having a wireless router is the easiest solution. Set up a wireless network with the help of a router, connecting it to your modem and then to all your wireless devices. What if you don't have a router? Or your existing router just conked? Don't buy a new one, it's really not needed!

Build a Wireless Home Network Without a Router?

A lot of people don’t know that if you run Windows 7, Windows Vista or even Windows XP, it is possible to build your own wireless network at home or office without using a wireless broadband router or a wireless access point, saving some money. In this tutorial we will show you step-by-step how to build this kind of wireless network, also known as ad-hoc. Note that if you have any old desktops you might...

turn-office-paper-toilet-paper

The title might sound ridiculous, but surprisingly enough, it is true! A Japanese company has unveiled a machine which would shred the useless office paper and then transform it into toilet paper!
It shreds the paper, which is then dissolved in water, thinned out, dried and wound into toilet rolls
If you found the news funny, the name of this unique machine must knock you off the chair! It is named White Goat!! The White Goat stands 1.8m tall and weighs 600kg. It's been in development for years and will go on sale in Japan this summer. The company says it costs around 10 cents to churn out 1 roll, and regular usage of this machine will save up to 60 cedar trees annually. Quite cool isn't it? But wait, can you guess the cost of the machine? Hold your breath - it is $100,000. Pop in 40 sheets of regular paper, and a half-hour later, out comes a roll of toilet paper.

doppelganger-week-celebrity-lookalike

The status updates on Facebook need no good reason to go viral. Be it updating the bra colors to raise the breast cancer awareness (don't ask me how!) or helping the victims of Haiti earthquake, or even the latest "my ex-girlfriend" worm, Facebookers always love a reason to play with their status updates. The latest one making rounds is Facebook Doppelganger week! What is it about?
It’s Celebrity Doppelgänger week. During this week please change your profile picture to someone famous you have been told you look like and post this to your profile.
The origin of this trend is unclear, but expect to see it for a while. If you are wondering (like me) which celebrity you resemble (or wish to resemble!), then I would let you know about a cool web tool to help you find that

The final version of Mozilla Firefox 3.6 was released earlier this week and one of the cool features included in this latest version is the Tab Preview feature. Many people don't even know the existence of such a feature basically due to the fact that it is disabled by default! Tab Preview feature in Firefox 3.6 lets you move to any opened tab just by using Ctrl + Tab keys. This is very similar to the tab preview feature of Windows Vista and 7. If you have opened a lot of tabs and find it difficult to switch using Alt + Tab feature, then you can use Ctrl + Shift + Tab which allows you switch to a tab using the tab search option. Follow the simple steps below to enable or disable the tab switching feature in Firefox 3.6

How to Enable Tab Preview Feature In Firefox 3.6?

  • In a new tab of Firefox 3.6, type about:config in the address bar
  • about-config

  • Click on I'll be careful, I promise! button
  • about-config-alert

  • Filter for browser.ctrlTab.previews & browser.ctrlTab.previews

wikipedia-cd-dvd

Wikipedia, the free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project is probably the best source for all the information on the internet. And now, an Argentinian group has managed to shrink virtually the full content of Wikipedia onto a CD which can be read with on-the-fly compression. According to PyAr, the Argentinian Python Users' group, this has been done to distribute the CDPedia CD to remote schools which lack internet connectivity. The CD contains the full Spanish-language Wikipedia for either a 680MB CD-R or a 4.5GB DVD-R. Bittorrent is used to distribute the ISO images, which can be burned to a CD-R, as well as a larger version that fits on a DVD-R. There's a copy of the Python language - available on Linux and OSX - included on the disk for Windows users. Content, obviously, is frozen at the point the disk was finished - mid-2008. It has been named as CDPedia.
The DVD9 version has all 448,038 articles of the Spanish Wikipedia that were dumped to html in June 2008, and 98 percent of the images. The CD version carries a big percentage of these articles and the images of the most relevant articles
