When you have questions, who do you ask for? Google. When you need directions, who do you call for help? Google Maps. When you want to hear a nice beatbox, who do you listen to? Google Translate. Huh? Well, you read that right! Google is not just an awesome dictionary, map, and translator, but also a great Beatboxer!

How To Turn Google Translate Into Google Beatbox

1. Go to Google Translate and copy paste the texts below in the translate field.

pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk pv zk bschk pv zk pv bschk zk bschk pv bschk bschk pv kkkkkkkkkk bschk bschk bschk

2. Set the “to” language to German and press listen. You’ll notice that the listen button has now been changed to Beatbox when you hover over it.

3. Enjoy Google Translate beatboxing for you!

Have you ever imagined your computer screen filled with insects such as flies, cockroaches, and ladybugs? I know it sounds creepy but it’s actually fun to see these creatures roaming around your screen especially if you want to prank your friends or just want to add life to your boring desktop.

Fly on Desktop

Fly on Desktop simulates the behavior of a real fly on your desktop. You will think that these flies are really living in your screen at first glance!

Double tapping on the fly will make them disappear. To add more flies, just go to Settings and click “Add Fly”.

Download Fly on Desktop

Cockroach on Desktop

If you’re looking for something worse than fly, then here’s Cockroach on Desktop – bigger, bolder, and grosser than flies!

Same with Fly on Desktop, double tapping on the cockroaches will make them disappear. To add more cockroach, just go to Settings and click “Add Cockroach”.

Download Cockroach on Desktop

Ladybug on Desktop

If you are a girl and you just want to add a cute decoration on your desktop, this Ladybug is for you.

Download Ladybug on Desktop

I usually leave these insects walking around the screen when I take a break so my nephew will be scared to use my PC while I’m out. If you want to make your screen a bit like jungle, you can launch all these insects at the same time and I’m pretty sure the kids who’ll see it will freak out.

NOTE: There’s also a screensaver version for each desktop app just in case you don’t want these insects bugging you while doing your usual tasks.

While a lot of Mango users are eagerly waiting for the release of the official Instagram client for Windows Phone, it should not prevent you from not using this popular photo sharing service on your phone since there’s a really good alternative app that you can use for the meantime.

Instacam – Instagram picture viewer for Windows Phone

Instacam is a popular Instagram client for Windows Phone. With this app, you can view or download Instagram images, apply filter effects to your photos, check popular photos and almost anything that you can do with the official Instagram client EXCEPT (this is a major disappointment) uploading photos directly to Instagram. Though the app has this major drawback, it’s still worth using especially if you’re not really the type of user who uploads pictures often but only using it to stalk your crush.

Upon launching the app, you will be asked to login using your Instagram credentials. After logging in, you’ll now be able to view your feed, check the popular photos, and search by tag/username by swiping your screen from left to right or vice versa.

When viewing your feed, you can see the number of likes and comments per photo but if you want to read the comments and see who liked them, just tap the image. If you like a photo, you have the option to save it to your device or share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, or etc.

Instacam also offers numerous filter effects that you can apply to your pictures. Just hit the camera button, either choose an image from your gallery or take new photos, then choose a filter effect. Once done, your image will be automatically saved to your Media Library, then you have the option to share it to your favorite social networking site. Again, uploading photos to Instagram is not supported because of its policy.

Other features of Instacam includes:

- View profiles of other users

- Follow/unfollow a user

- Add likes and post comments to pictures

- Browse anonymously without an Instagram account

Download Instacam for Windows Phone for free.

So now you already have DropBox, SkyDrive, and Google Drive desktop clients installed on your PC. And adding files to these folders is as simple as drag and drop. But most of the time, it’s easier and faster to use Windows’ Send to menu than arranging two windows for dragging and dropping of files. Just right click on any file, hover over Send to and choose the destination where you want to send the file.

By default, the Send to menu only includes destinations such as Desktop, Mail Recipient, and Compressed Folder. But wouldn’t it be great if you could add more shortcuts such as DropBox, SkyDrive, and Google Drive to that menu? In fact you can!

How to add more shortcuts to Windows’ Send to Menu:

1. Open Windows Explorer or any folder.

2. In Explorer, copy-paste the text below in an empty area inside the address bar.

%APPDATA%/Microsoft/Windows/SendTo

3. Now you should be looking at the folder containing Windows’ send-to shortcuts. You then need to find the Windows shortcut to Dropbox, SkyDrive, or whatever and just copy-paste it inside this folder.

6. You’re done! Try it on any file. Just right click, choose Send to and you’ll now see your new shortcuts in the options.

Microsoft’s SkyDrive, one of my favorite file hosting services next to DropBox, has now an official Mac and Windows desktop client to let users easily manage their SkyDrive files and sync local files with the cloud, from their computers.

SkyDrive for Windows and Mac

SkyDrive for Windows and Mac is definitely the easiest way to access your SkyDrive from your computer. When you install it, a SkyDrive folder is created on your PC. Everything you put in this folder is automatically kept in sync between your computers (PC or Mac) and SkyDrive.com, so you can get to your latest files from virtually anywhere. Whenever you add, change, or delete files in one location, all the other locations will be updated.

To add files, just drag and drop them to your SkyDrive folder and they will automatically be synced with the cloud. You can also easily organize your files and folders, just like any other folder!

Fetching files through SkyDrive.com

Another killer feature of SkyDrive for Windows is the ability to turn your PC into your own private cloud to browse your files and stream videos from anywhere through SkyDrive.com. This feature is great if you forget something on your home PC and need to fetch it or just copy it quickly to SkyDrive.

To use this, just install the desktop client on your computer and enable Make files on this PC available to me on my other device in the Settings. Next, login to SkyDrive.com and click your computer name below the Computers tab at the left side of the screen. You will then need to input an access code to access your remote PC. Once done, you can now view and access your PC (if SkyDrive desktop is running) from SkyDrive web interface.

The only thing missing in this app is the ability to choose which folders to sync with the computer, unlike DropBox which offers selective syncing. Another disappointment is that this app doesn’t work on Windows XP.

Lastly, for those who have previously signed up with SkyDrive, you can still enjoy your 25GB free storage but for the new users, they will only get free 7GB upon signup. That’s still more generous than the free 2GB of DropBox and free 5GB of Google Drive.

If you unplug a storage device from your computer while it’s transferring files, there’s a big chance that you lose some information or worst, your USB flash drive might get corrupted. Good thing Windows has a Safely Remove Hardware option which lets you unplug your flash memory safely. However, for most people, they find it very time consuming to go through this step every time they remove their USB from their PC. So if you’re looking for a simple way to enable quick removal of USB devices and bypass Safely Remove Hardware, this post is for you.

How to bypass Safely Remove Hardware option when unplugging USB devices:

1. Open Device Manager. You may find it by searching “Device Manager” in the Start menu search field or in the Control Panel.

2. Look for USB Devices/Disk Drives. Click Disk Drives to expand and reveal your internal and external drives. The USB devices will always have “USB” included in their names.

3. Choose Quick Removal. Double-click the USB device for which you want to disable the Safely Remove Hardware option. A new window will open, go to Policies tab. You’ll see two removal policies: Quick Removal and Better Performance. If you choose Better Performance, you will need to use the Safely Remove Hardware option every time you disconnect your USB while the Quick Removal policy lets you disconnect the device safely without using the said option.

Google is really the master when it comes to exciting Easter egg and they just got everyone’s attention again with their latest one – Zerg Rush, which is based on the popular game Starcraft.

Zerg Rush – Latest Google Easter Egg

When you go to Google.com and type in zerg rush, you’ll see the O’s in Google starting to take over the page. Don’t panic! It’s just the Google’s version of zerg who are trying to invade your results.

In “Starcraft,” zerg are portrayed as a terrifying and ruthless amalgamation of biologically advanced, arthropodal aliens that hunts down and assimilates advanced species across the galaxy.

In order to save your search results, you need to kill these O’s by tapping on them. You can even see the lives of the enemies as well as the lives of each search result as if you’re really playing the game. There’s also a score tabulator at the upper right side that tracks your hit count, showing you how many Os you’ve defeated and your average rate per minute.

Once the Os have completely wiped out everything on the search result page, they will slowly form into two Gs which stand for Good Game. If you manage to get a good score, you can then share it to your Google+ account by tapping the Share Score button.

Check out the other awesome Google tricks and Easter Eggs!

If men are afraid of becoming bald, I’m sure you’ll agree with me if I say that women are more afraid of getting old than men. I know some women are willing to spend thousands of money just to restore their youthful skin. But have you ever imagined how you will look when you get old, like let’s say, 40 years after? Do you still look great even if you have wrinkles on your face? Stop dreaming! Check out Aging Booth, an amazing face aging machine!

Aging Booth – the app that makes you look old

Aging Booth is a cool and somehow scary Android/iOS app that  makes you look old. Honestly, I was a bit hesitant at first to try it on my picture since I’m scared of seeing my face with wrinkles and other lines that’s why I decided to try it on someone else’s picture first – my girlfriend (lol!).

The effect is just so awesome and it looks so real but I was very delighted to see the result because she still looks so great even with so many lines on her face.

Aside from the realistic effects, another great thing about Aging Booth is that it’s so easy to use just like BaldBooth and FatBooth. You just need to launch it on your phone, take a picture using your camera or choose from your gallery and after choosing a picture, wait for face detection then adjust the markers. After a few seconds, you’ll now see your face after 40+ years! You can shake your device to see the before and after views.

AgingBooth works best with people between the ages of 15 and 60.

Download AgingBooth from Google Play for free or buy it from the iTunes App Store for only $0.99.

One of the greatest fears of men when they grow old, aside from not having a beautiful wife, is becoming bald. I can’t even imagine myself with little or no hair at all! I’m sure my girlfriend will not stop laughing if one day, she sees me with bald head. But if you’re kinda curious what will you look like if you were bald, check out BaldBooth.

BaldBooth – the app that makes you bald

From the same creator of Fat Booth and Aging Booth, here comes another hilarious app that will make you and your friends ROFL.

BaldBooth is an Android app that makes you and your friends bald. The good thing here is that the app is free so if you just want to check if you look good when your head is shaved, there’s no need to go to a barber shop and waste some money.

Using BaldBooth is very easy. Just launch it on your phone, take a picture or open your gallery, wait for the face detection then adjust the markers. After a few seconds, Voila! Say “hi” to your new look and sorry for your loss. You can also shake your device to see the before and after views!

Other users may not be pleased with the result since it looks like the app is just putting a ball on your head but as what the description says, the purpose of this app is to entertain only and does not guarantee resemblance to the real baldness process. So just enjoy using this app and post it on your Facebook or Twitter account to spread the fun!

TIP: BaldBooth works best with front face photos with both ears and forehead exposed.

Download BaldBooth for free from Google Play or buy it from the iTunes App Store for only $0.99.
