Well, Google GMail is finally back up after couple hours of service outage.
Think about how many businesses rely on GMail to run their businesses. (including me)
Now that said, the world ecommerce/commuication now moving again, forward. Yey!
I was actually a little worried myself there for a second, we received an influx of too much traffic while the GMail down blog post was up and GMail was down. It seemed like a LOT of people were
For some reason you lost your master password to Firefox? Do not worry as there’s a new tool called Firemaster that will recover your Firefox master password through brute-force hacks. Really, though, you can also simply erase all your personal preferences by “uninstalling” your Firefox and re-installing it.
Firemaster really is for those who need to hack another’s computer…
Once you have lost master password, there is no way to recover it as it is not stored at all. When
All things man-made will break, even Google’s own GMail. Now, you don’t need to fuss about it if you had all your GMail data backed up.
Here’s a bunch of great resources on how to back up your GMail so the next time GMail goes down, you will still have access to your e-mail:
It looks like GMail is having some big problems today, bigger than I have ever seen.
Anyways, don’t be too worried, just relax and enjoy life, here’s some fun things to do while GMail is down:
Go to tweet about your GMail being down on Twitter. Go see how many tweets there are about GMail being down on Twitter. Blog about GMail being down like I am doing right now. Pick your nose and wonder when you can
Here’s an awesome Arduino hack that shows you how to make a pH meter. I was thinking that this could be great for automating the pool maintenance where you have to check the water’s pH level among other things. That could be a LOT of money, automated water stabilizer!
Now, I gave you a great idea for a niche business, someone go please make it! (well, I guess there’s such thing as automatic pool cleaner already, oops!)
For example
Here’s a creative idea for a laptop sleeve that will “disguise” your laptop from the public, a newspaper laptop sleeve!
I have to say the creators of this laptop sleeve are smart and I think this will start going “viral”.
Needless to say though, once this thing gets big and everywhere, I don’t think it will be effective anymore. Still, a great idea at the right time.
99% of most laptop problems are caused by your CPU cooling fans (these are the metal thingees that are next to your CPU) being blocked by dust. Most of the time, 6 months of everyday use will cause enough dust to collect in your cooling fans, which will either make your laptop run really slow or simply freeze up.
When dust collects in your cooling fans, your CPU fan will no longer work with you but actually against you, building heat on your laptop’s CPU, causing all kinds of havoc among frozen screens and boot up problems.
But don’t worry, it’s very easy t
Here’s a really cool “rock” radio that will go well with your outdoor patio/deck. I find this so creative and original, I give it my “best hack” of the week award. (if there’s such a thing)
My ROCK Radio. The number two in my cement-audio-series. It started of being a very nice rectangular brick shape. Then I found out that a thick layer of cement shields the radio from actually receiving radio waves. With my “Now it doesn’t work anyway” ph
Are you one of those people who forget to close your garage door before leaving on a vacation to another country?
Well, do not worry as there’s a cool hack that shows you how to make a remote garage monitor so you can check it anywhere including your iPhone or Palm Pre.
Also, you can probably add a simple relay and open/close the garage door remotely.
Problem: My garage is detached from my house, difficult to see if the doors are open from the house. Or maybe I am in a hurry to rid
Here’s some great news that the new Nokia N900 is based on Linux, similar to the new Palm Pre.
The new Nokia N900 comes with ARM Cortex-A8 processor, 1GB of application memory, 32GB of storage (expandable to 48GB with a MicroSD card), and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
That’s very similar to the Palm Pre, same processor but 4X more memory and 4X more storage. Plus, I have to say having a Mozilla browser is a definite plus. If it’s available anytime soon in the U.S., I will definitely be one of the first get this cool new phone.
FINALLY, Nokia gets on
