Numpad + Mouse = Adesso

0 comments
Lacking of a numeric keypad or numpad on the keyboard might cause many users inconvenience when they move from desktop to laptop. Many users particularly those who deal with numbers and always need to enter long sequences of number, for instance, in spreadsheets, accounting programs, etc cannot speed up their work due to the hardware limitation. The same applies to computer gamers who have become familiar and got used to using the numeric keypad to control games or characters. If getting another portable numeric keypad plugged to your laptop is troublesome and space consuming, Adesso offers an interesting and instant solution via its Adesso 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad.



The 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad offered by Adesso is more than a numeric keypad. It is a combination of a numeric keypad and an optical mouse. This palm-sized numeric keypad cum optical mouse is 4.752″ x 2.25″ x 1.5″ in dimension. Users who need quick number entering can just flip up the transparent cover and use the numeric keypad instantly. It speeds up the work process and increase productivity tremendously. When the numeric keypad is not in use, users just need to flip down the cover to avoid touching the numeric keys while using the mouse function. The optical mouse offers 1000 dpi resolution for excellent smoothness and accuracy. Adesso 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad Mouse is driver free and users can just plug and use it without any tedious installation. Since it is dual functional, users especially mobile professionals can save the hassle of bringing along two separate gadgets when travelling. Adesso 19 Key USB Numeric Keypad costs $27.99.

Isometric Pixel Art

0 comments


Isometric Pixel art is a painstaking process of drawing a 3D image on a 2D screen, pixel by pixel and making sure that the scales of all the dimensions are the same. The illusion of depth is lost in this angle, where objects at any distance from the point of view appear as if they were on a plane. One of most isometric pixel art artists around is eBoy. Head over to hello.eboy.com

Where do Pirates Hang Out After the Exile of TPB

0 comments
After the shocking waves of TBP sold to Swedish Firm, the pirates have wondered where to continue their Piracy - Sure there are many other alternatives exists. But Pirate Bay had been the leader until now, when it comes to P2P Sharing. BTW TBP is a History now - So here we look at some of the alternatives that exists for the biggest Torrent Tracker. So Pirates are you ready to Jump over to another Ship ?

1. 1337x.org : This is one of the lesser known Torrent Site in the web. Well, the thing that made me write this as the first alternative to The Pirate Bay is it's Home Page welcoming the TPB pirates to their site.

We welcome all the users of TPB to use our trackers and site. It’s a free leech community with NO ratios to maintain, we have a web based chat , A 24/7 radio station with 8 different DJ’s.

2. Demonoid.com : This is my favorite Private Tracker, Yup! - Not a Private Tracker, but a Semi-Private Tracker - coz it opens up Registration from time to time. Demonoid is a well categorized website, with a neat Layout and lot of torrents. IMO it will be a great alternative to the Pirate Bay.

3. h33t.com : This Website too is a lesser known Website and offer good content under several categories, though worth a visit. It comes no near to Demonoid - think am not biased, LOL. This website too is well organized, and categories varies from Movies, PSP, Comics, Software, etc.

4. Mininova.org : MiniNova had been here for long time after the exile of SuprNova and is a well known Torrent Tracker in the Web. It indexes .torrent files from other sites, so some of the .torrents are from private sites that only allow members of those sites to download the given files. Still, the site is moderated and well-used by members and, with the release of their distribution network, content creators alike.

5. ISOHUNT : ISOHUNT too had problems like TPB for sharing illegal content, which is now being filtered as of now. Still a number of addicted freaks hang out there and is a well populated torrent site out there and is worth a mention.

6. BTJunkie.org : This too is a well-populated torrent site in the web, but not popular like Mininova or ISOHunt. But still worth a try.

Two Minutes To Freedom

0 comments

A Million-dollar-opportunity scenario : A customer buys a laptop pre-loaded with GnuLinux. When the customer nods and winks, the vendor smiles and asks : “For another Rs 100, would you also like to be a certified GnuLinux end-user? “ The customer may just shrug his shoulders and walk out of the door. On the other hand, he might just pause and wonder why. What follows here is an imagines conversation between the two.

Vendor : “Well, because what you will do with that laptop is no secret. Even Microsoft probably knows that when you get home, you’ll reformat your GnuLinux, and install unauthorized versions of MS Windows and other applications. You don’t become world’s smartest and wealthiest software company if you don’t know what most customers intend doing with pre-installed GnuLinux. [Long Pause] Yes, they know, they can catch you, and can even throw you into jail and or impose heavy fines on you. “

Customer : “Really ? I thought I was being clever by secretly installing unauthorized software at home. How could they know ? Why will they catch me ? “

Vendor : “When you use their software, it obeys them, not you. Every leading proprietary software installed on a computer, ‘calls home’ on the Internet and reports such abuse automatically. So, it comes as no surprise when legal notices are slapped on unsuspecting users in India. It happens all the time. “

Customer : “If I buy a laptop with a legal version of MS Windows, can’t I just get away with using all the other applications as unauthorized versions ?”

Vendor : “[Chuckles] On the contrary, you make it even easier to trace and pin you down. “

Customer : “Doesn’t having GnuLinux installed in one partition with unauthorized MS Windows and other apps on another, protect me somehow ?”

Vendor : “Using any unauthorized software may be illegal and even a criminal offence. “

Customer : “So how does a Rs 100 certificate help me ?”

Vendor : “ It doesn’t. You spend Rs 100 to enroll in a two-hour course on how to use your pre-installed GnuLinux as a regular computer user, for surfing the Web, e-mailing, Internet chats, for office applications, and for syncing with your digital camera and MP3-player. You receive the certificate on completion of the course.”

Customer : “Then what good is the certificate ?”

Vendor : “The value is in the training. You can actually do everything, and more, using GnuLinux, and without having to spend more money on software or by breaking the law. The certificate may help you differentiate yourself during job-interviews, since a staffer who uses GnuLinux will eventually cost the company less. Finally, you may just discover new work and business opportunities with GnuLinux.”

Customer : “Can I still go home and install unauthorized software? Does the certificate protect me ? “

Vendor : “The Certificate won’t protect you in any way.”

Customer : “Who conducts these courses, and why ?”

Vendor : “The local Linux User Groups (LUGs) with their volunteers. They have no agenda except to promote the use of Linux and FOSS in India. The courses are conducted in your neighborhood, in a school or a college, or even someone’s home or office. This is how the community shares its resources. If you’re still interested, just write your name, mobile number, and e-mail address here. I will pass this on to the LUG and they’ll get in touch with you. For your reference, this is the URL and mailing list address of the LUG”
