Unseen Tech watches ..

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 03:20:00 +0000

Deus Ex Machine :Deus Ex Machine watch mobile is just plain specced up to the nines.

First the disappointment. It's not 3G.but it is tri-band with WAP support, so if you want data really badly, it is there. Otherwise, prepare to be happy. It plays MP3s, WMA, WAV and AMR. It supports MPEG4 and AVI as well as recording video in those formats at 128x104 resolution.
Naturally, there's a stills camera too which captures up to 640x480 and holds a host of effects from night mode to rapid shooting and a series of colour filters.

It has all the features of a normal mobile including Bluetooth connectivity and headset, a USB port, microSD card memory - expandable up to 2GB - and you'll be able to talk or play music for 150 minutes before the battery goes flat.

I/O Concept watch :

I/O concept aims to change that perspective (assuming it actually takes off), featuring a cuff bracelet design complete with a hidden digital clock that lights up only when you need to tell the time, making this more of a fashion accessory that tells the time instead of a good looking watch. All you need to do is touch the dot whenever you want to check on the time.

Polar FT80Polar FT80 Fitness Training Computer Watch The Polar FT80 looks very high-tech and it actually is. Polar offers with the FT80 an Intelligent training computer that work toward achieving your exercise goals in other ways.

Cell phone watch :

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Gyrotourbillon :

The three-dimensional motion of the spherical tourbillon fascinates observers by the exceptional speed of rotation of its two carriages. The spherical tourbillon comprises an inner carriage that performs a full rotation in 18.75 seconds, while the outer aluminum carriage completes a more common 60-second rotation.

Phone watch :
Citizen VIRT: The World's First Bluetooth Watch Features :

Pairing with your Bluetooth mobile phone.
Caller ID of incoming calls.
Phonebook
Dropped link alert. If you phone is too far away from you, your watch warns you that the link has been dropped so you don't end up leaving home without your phoneAlarmOLED display

C1 Tourbillon Watch :

It is integrated with real old technology: a tourbillon escapement. Invented in 1795, this type of escapement actually rotates inside its frame and was designed to counteract lop-sided gravity effects caused by the vertical position gentlemen's pocket watches usually sat in. Concord's C1 mechanical watch has this movement mounted outside the case and dial, and presumably it adds to time accuracy.

If you have a general idea of the subject in which you're interested, but are not sure exactly what you're looking for, a directory is a great place to start. Directories like Yahoo! use human editors to organize information in broad categories, such as finance, sports, or travel. Think of them as giant card catalogs.

Prevent Getting Banned From Adsense

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 17:14:00 +0000

Dont ever get banned from adsense if you have clicked your ads,by mistake…Jus follow this technique ..

The way to keep this from happening is to temporarily block the domain name Google’s ads are served from. First, find your HOSTS file which depends on which OS you are using.

Open Notepad or any text editor. Go to File, and Choose Open.

If you have Windows 95, 98, or ME browse to the folder “C:\windows”

If you have Windows XP Home browse to the folder “C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc”

If you have anything else (Windows XP Pro, Windows 2000, NT,2003, etc.) browse to the folder: “C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc”

Once you’re there, open the file called “hosts”. If you don’t see anything listed just type the word hosts and the file should open up. Just the word “hosts”, no extension oranything after that. It’s probably blank but it might notbe.

Add this line: 127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

And save. You’re done.

Now go back to a site that you know has some Google Ads.There should be an empty space where the ads appeared.

Want to turn it off? Don’t just delete it, put a “#” sign infront of that line, like this which is equivalent to commenting the statement:

# 127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

What’s that do? It basically says “ignore this line.” I like to leave it like that so when I want to hide Google Ads again, all I have to do is remove the “#” sign and save –then put the “#” back in when I’m ready to go back to normal.

A quick change in your HOSTS file to turn AdSense on and off is easier than fiddling around with a firewall program.

10+ Unknown Wikipedia hacks

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:46:00 +0000

These are some of the best tools, tips and tricks to help you use Wikipedia - largest online encyclopedia more effectively and productively..

1) Read Wikipedia Pages without Internal Links :

Wikipedia pages are written in black text but sometimes they appear blue because each and every word in the article is an hyperlink to another Wikipedia story.

Before : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
After : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google&printable=yes

2) Track Wikipedia Articles via RSS or Email Alerts :

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google&feed=rss&action=history

You can either subscribe to this feed in any newsreader or go to sendmerss.com to get the same information via email alerts.

5) Find if similar content exists in Wikipedia using S imilpedia :
