I just broke my retweet virginity this afternoon, and it is not a good experience at all (first time retweeting). First, copy and paste the tweet content to my Twitter / Home. Then add “RT @username” in front of it. How much work is that?
The solution? Firefox + Greasemonkey. Just install this Userscript and a convenient Retweet button will be sitting right under the reply button, like this: Click to continue →

SmashingApps and File Dropper are partnering to make the Earth greener by giving out 250GB file hosting accounts to those who pledge on going green. Their reason is, by giving out free file hosting accounts, you can share documents electronically and not waste paper by printing all the time.
One DoS attack, on one cluster of DreamHost, has affected 447 servers, and results in 8 hours downtime on SheepTech, as well as many other websites in the same cluster.
Google Translate is brilliant for one thing, it can detect the language used on a website or in a sentence. This makes total sense because if you can’t read in a particular language, chances are you don’t even know what language that is.
We can make use of this ability of Google Translate to easily translate just almost any foreign language into the language we want, with only a button click. Click to continue →

There are a few possibilities. 1) YouTube is experimenting to allow its users to download videos off YouTube itself, 2) YouTube is just providing download links for Obama’s videos, either upon request or out of courtesy.

Last year, I was given a free copy of Snagit and I got it installed on my desktop. Later that year, I got myself a laptop and turned it to my main working machine, so no more Snagit for me. Taking a screenshot itself is a no-brainer task, all I need is a “Prnt Scrn” button and MS Paint. The tricky part is to edit the screenshot to emphasize or explain on something.
I really like Snagit because it made my life easier drawing arrows, inserting annotations, and highlighting (I especially love this). However, having to pay $49.95 for just a screen capture tool doesn’t justify me. $30 for this software, $40 for that tool, when they add up I’d probably be able to get myself a new PC.
Fortunately I had found a freeware (for Windows only) that will do almost as good as Snagit, at an unbeatable price of $0. Click to continue →
