File this in the "we-try-it-out-so-you-don't-have-to" category. So.cl is a acquired amusing arrangement that may be advantageous to students, but it will not fly elsewhere.Over the weekend, Microsoft agilely launched an beginning amusing arrangement alleged So.cl. It's a mix amid Google+ and Storify. Users are encouraged to seek for advice about a accurate topic, again abridge the best after-effects - textual content, images and videos - into a individual post. So.cl is initially targeted to students. It may end up getting advantageous to that market, but it's absurd to get absorption as a boilerplate amusing network. Here's why...


 Microsoft is calling So.cl "an agreement in accessible search," in that annihilation you seek for on the arrangement is arresting by added users and fabricated accessible to third affair developers. That description makes it complete like a absolute adversary to Google+, which was Google's attack at accumulation seek with amusing networking. It absolutely has similarities, but So.cl is ultimately an bookish apparatus moreso than a amusing one.


 To get started, you can assurance up application either your Facebook or Windows Live profile. Microsoft had little best but to advantage Facebook's amusing graph, accustomed that hardly anyone uses Windows Live (Microsoft's ID platform). Sure abundant Facebook gave me a acceptable leg up into the So.cl network, enabling me to auto-follow over 50 people. 


 The Features When it comes to application So.cl and award amount in it, the flaws become obvious. The Storify-like accession affection in So.cl is nifty, but aggregate abroad has been done afore in hundreds of added amusing networks: posting, commenting, tagging, liking, administration (two options: to Facebook or email!). The attempts at addition in So.cl assume forced. An advantage labeled "riffing" is declared to be "a new way to collaborate and ad-lib with content" - but in reality, it artlessly agency to re-share a column and optionally add your own animadversion or content.

Vu Technologies has launched the Vu 3D camera in India, priced at Rs. 19,990. A 16MP camera, it can almanac abounding 1080p HD video in both 2D and 3D, at 30 frames per second. It is accessible at Vu food beyond the country. With the Vu 3D camera, users will be able to abduction 3D still photographs as well. It appearance bifold lens-dual sensor (DLDS) technology (two 16MP sensors), acceptance it to abduction stereoscopic images.

 Commenting on the barrage of the Vu 3D camera, Vu Technologies’ CEO, Devita Saraf said:

 “At Vu Technologies, we accept consistently been advanced of the ambit in agreement of innovation, be it with articles like the Super TV or the TelePresence. The 3D camera is addition such innovation, and we are admiring to be introducing it at a time if the bazaar absolutely understands technology. We accept that our artefact will see immense appeal in a country like India for several reasons. First, there has been a huge auction of 3D TVs in India with actual little admission or availability to accurate 3D content. Second, about-face of 2D to 3D in accepted 3D TV doesn’t absolutely accord the absolute aftereffect of 3D. Through this introduction, we aim to arch the bazaar gap and action a band-aid no artefact in the accepted bazaar book offers.”

You accept your files, photos and abstracts on your home computer that you would like to admission from added locations on altered devices. Dropbox has been the de-facto best for continued but that could potentially change as Microsoft and Google accept just entered the amphitheatre with the barrage of Windows Reside SkyDrive and Google Drive respectively.

The three casework are actual agnate – you get online accumulator (you can admission your files anywhere) and book synchronization – adapt a certificate on one computer and the changes are broadcast to all your added computers about instantly.

Let’s see how these online drives assemblage up adjoin anniversary other:

SkyDrive vs Google Drive vs Dropbox

Supported Platforms

Dropbox is accessible for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, BlackBerry and Android devices. Windows Reside SkyDrive is accessible for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Windows Buzz accessories while Google Drive is currently accessible for PC, Mac and Android phones /tablets. All casework do action a web adaptable adaptation that can advice you admission your files from the web browser of any adaptable phone.

The added important aberration is that Dropbox is aswell accessible for Windows XP and Linux while SkyDrive is not.

Storage Limits

Dropbox offers 2-3 GB of chargeless online accumulator storage, Google Drive offers 5 GB while SkyDrive, if you are new, offers 7 GB of accumulator space.

You can upload files of any admeasurement to Dropbox through the desktop applicant while that complete is 2 GB in the case of SkyDrive. Both SkyDrive and Dropbox let you upload files up to 300 MB from the web browser while that complete is 10 GB in the case of Google Drive.

Storage Plans

If you are active out of accumulator amplitude on SkyDrive, you can buy an added 20 GB for about $10 per year or 50 GB for $25 per year. Dropbox Pro offers 50 GB of accumulator amplitude for $99 per year while Google Drive offers an added 20 GB for $2.49 per month.

See abundant allegory of appraisement plans.

Built-in Book Viewers

Both SkyDrive and Dropbox web apps accept congenital book admirers for a lot of accepted book formats including Office documents, PDFs, videos and images. Google Docs supports even added formats – including Photoshop mockups and AutoCAD assets – and no admiration that you can aswell appearance these files in Google Drive after added software.

Unfortunately, maybe because of licensing issues, none of these drives will beck MP3 songs in the browser – you will to accept download the MP3 book locally to play the audio.

File History

Your chargeless Dropbox annual will save any file’s history for 30 canicule acceptation if you accidentally annul or change a file, you can calmly restore the antecedent alive adaptation for the next 30 days. SkyDrive and Google Drive aswell abundance the antecedent versions of all files admitting they accept not absolutely defined how abounding reversions are preserved.

If you annul a book or binder central SkyDrive web app, it’s gone consistently admitting in the case of Dropbox and Google Drive, the files are confused to the Trash from breadth they can be calmly restored.

Account Security

Since your Google Drive is affiliated to your Google Account, you can administer 2-step aegis and non-authorized user won’t be able to admission your online book even if they are acquainted of your Google username and password. This added band of aegis is not accessible to Dropbox and SkyDrive users.

Google Drive and Dropbox aswell advance a abundant log of every individual change that was fabricated to your files (or account) but this seems to be missing in SkyDrive.

File Search

This is one breadth area Google Drive has a audible high hand.

When you seek for a book on Dropbox.com, it allotment after-effects breadth the book names matche your seek keywords. SkyDrive lets you seek the agreeable of abstracts that are in accepted Microsoft Office formats. Google Drive goes a footfall added as it can even apprehend the argument agreeable of scanned abstracts and photographs application OCR. That is, if you accept adored a photograph of the whiteboard to your Google Drive account, you should be able acquisition that angel by argument after accepting to bethink the filename.

Offline Access

The adaptable apps of Dropbox and Google Drive let you save any certificate or book on your adaptable for offline use. Such a adeptness is not accessible in the iOS apps of Windows SkyDrive admitting you can consistently consign the certificate to addition app (like iBooks or Good Reader) from SkyDrive and admission it offline.

Selective Sync

If you accept assorted computers, all these “online drives” will archetype your files beyond all your machines. Sometimes, you don’t wish this to appear and both Dropbox and Google Drive action you an advantage to selectively accord folders per computer. For instance, you can acquaint Dropbox not to download your ancestors photographs binder on the plan computer. This saves bandwidth and your harder deejay stays ablaze too.

Selective Sync is about missing in SkyDrive.

What I like about Windows SkyDrive

SkyDrive offers affluence of accumulator amplitude but the best allotment is that the SkyDrive web app lets you admission files and folders of all your added computer appropriate from aural your browser. You just charge to accept SkyDrive on these machines and you can again calmly admission any of their files from any added computer, anywhere artlessly application your Windows Reside ID.

SkyDrive is an complete must-have annual for Microsoft Office users because it gives you the adeptness to adapt abstracts in the web browser while attention all the formatting.

What I like about Google Drive

Google Drive offers the a lot of adorable interface, the seek affection is ablaze and the new filigree appearance lets you bound browse your stored files visually. You can email any book from your Google Drive annual to addition user as an email attachment, a advantageous affection that’s missing in all the added online drives.

If you reside in the Google ecosystem and do not accept Microsoft Office on your computer, skip SkyDrive and go with Google Drive.

What I like about Dropbox

The basal Dropbox annual offers a simple 2 GB of accumulator amplitude but you can calmly access your annual amplitude to 16 GB by apropos a brace of accompany to Dropbox. Also, you can acquisition bags of apps that accomplish the Dropbox annual even added able and useful.

Google Drive and Windows Reside SkyDrive are acutely able casework but none of them abutment as abounding platforms as Dropbox does. The best allotment about Dropbox is that it just works and it won’t be simple even for Google and Microsoft to body the affectionate of developer ecosystem that currently exists about Dropbox.

If you are analytical to apperceive what it is like central the abode of the world’s a lot of able person, yield a bout from the abundance of your couch.

Search for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC on Google Maps and annoyance the artery appearance figure on the White House building. Or maybe you can use this absolute link. Once central the building, you can use the arrow keys to airing through the assorted accessible apartment and halls of the White House or bang the akin numbers (1 or 2) to about-face to a altered attic level.

You may aswell wish to appointment the official White House website – whitehouse.gov – to apprentice about the history of the assorted apartment and to analyze sections of the architecture that aren’t covered in the Artery Appearance project.

And here’s a behind-the-scenes video that shows how Google photographed the assorted accessible allowance to actualize these basic tours.

Includes how to rename wp-content, rename wp-admin, andremove the generator tag from WordPress.

Many people, particularly designers and web engineers for high-profiles websites, do not want users to know that they are running WordPress for their websites. For the sake of seeming like a more “hardcore” coder who doesn’t need a pre-built CMS (like, it kind of sucks when you find out that Facebook actually runs on WordPress :O ), or just for security reasons; it is a shame that it is so difficult to change the wp-content and wp-admin folder names very easily through the WordPress admin. This little tutorial will teach you how to do it in any case.

Just for the record, I don’t believe that it’s really possible, or even worthwhile to attempt, completely hiding that you use WordPress for your sites. You can do the stuff I instruct here so that the typical pretentious amateur who tries to “out” you, or hack your site, runs into some challenges, but there will always be a way find out what CMS you use if someone is dedicated enough. If you use WordPress, you use WordPress. This tutorial will change obvious evidence or indications of it in your source-code, effectively removing WordPress info from your site.

Open up the file called wp-config in your “root” directory, and just before the last line (something about require_once), add:

define('WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME', 'wp-content');
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME );
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://domain.ext/'.WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME); 
define('WP_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/plugins' );
define('WP_PLUGIN_URL', WP_CONTENT_URL.'/plugins');

Now you must change “domain.ext” to whatever is your domain – for me, that is “pythoughts.com”. Then, you can change “wp-content” to whatever you want your content file to be. I like to use “media”, because I think that’s both relevant and quite unique, but obviously this is your prerogative.

Make sure that everything still works, especially your plugins. If your plugins do not work after this, you need to edit them – you can do this in the WordPress admin by looking around in the Plugins page. Obviously what needs to change is any references to “wp-content”.

Edit from Andrew (see comments) – For WordPress v3.13: “What I did is edit the file default-constants.php located in /wp-includes/, replacing all “wp-content” to my desired folder name (need to rename the folder of course), and all works like a charm.”

There are two ways to do this. The long way is to hack your .htaccess file to do redirections, etc. and block out direct access to login.php. The easier method is to install and very cool little plugin, made by Devbits, called “Stealth-login”. I use this plugin on some of my sites, and it works! Which is fantastic.

So you can download that here.

The bit of code that you want for this is simple:

remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);

There are a few places you can do this, but I would recommend adding it to thefunctions.php file in your theme. So open that up, make sure that you have your

And that is that.

Please let me know if A) this was useful to you, B) You know of any plugin that does all of this stuff, or C) You think that I should make a plugin that does all of this automatically. You should also of course tell me if you perceive a danger is doing this, or if you think that there is a more effective method. Or if you have any questions.

Otherwise, thank you for your time 

Google's self-driven cars will soon be appearing on Nevada roads after the state's Department of Motor Vehicles approved on Monday the nation's first autonomous vehicle license.

The move came after officials rode along on drives on highways, in Carson City neighborhoods and along the famous Las Vegas Strip, the Nevada DMV said in a statement.

The Nevada legislature last year authorized self-driven cars for the state's roads, the first such law in the United States. That law went into effect on March 1, 2012.

Google's self-driven cars rely on video cameras, radar sensors, lasers, and a database of information collected from manually driven cars to help navigate, according to the company.

The DMV licensed a Toyota Prius that Google modified with its experimental driver-less technology, developed by Stanford professor and Google Vice President Sebastian Thrun.

Google's self-driving cars have crossed the Golden Gate Bridge and driven along the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway, according to the company.

Autonomous vehicles are the "car of the future," Nevada DMV director Bruce Breslow said in a statement. The state also has plans to eventually license autonomous vehicles owned by the members of the public, the DMV said.

Legislation to regulate autonomous cars is being considered in other states, including Google's home state of California.

"The vast majority of vehicle accidents are due to human error. Through the use of computers, sensors and other systems, an autonomous vehicle is capable of analyzing the driving environment more quickly and operating the vehicle more safely," California state Senator Alex Padilla said in March when he introduced that state's autonomous car legislation.

Other car companies are also seeking self-driven car licenses in Nevada, the DMV said.

South Korea-based LG Electronics is reportedly planning to give Google TV another try in the U.S. -- possibly as soon as this month.

According to Reuters, Ro Seogho, executive vice president of LG's TV business unit, told reporters in Seoul on Monday that U.S. consumers will be able to buy the TV based on Google's platform beginning the week of May 21.

LG's current Google TV offering in the LG G3 series, has received lukewarm reviewsand hasn't caught on with consumers. And while Google hopes Google TV will do for the TV market what Android did for the mobile market, it's been plagued with problems like high prices, low sales, and difficulty with program distribution.

According to Reuters, Ro Seogho, executive vice president of LG's TV business unit, told reporters in Seoul on Monday local time that U.S. consumers will be able to buy an update to the Google TV-based set beginning the week of May 21.

Seogho was referring to LG's G2 series, which was announced at January's Consumer Electronics Show. The TV -- soon to be available in 47-inch and 55-inch sizes for $1,600 and $2,100, respectively -- is LG's first line of Google TV-compatible televisions. But it's actually the first second-generation model, after Sony's 2011 GT1 series, which failed to generate excitement or sales among consumers.

Other first-generation Google TV offerings included Sony's Google TV-powered Blu-ray player and Logitech's Revue set-top box. The latter product met with disastrous sales, spurring financial problems that continue to plague Logitech.

Indeed, while Google initially had hopes of Google TV invading the TV market as Androiddid for with mobile, the product has so far appeared to be a dud. The LG G2 seems unlikely to reverse that trend, already earning a decidedly mixed review from CNET.

Features of Google TV include being able to use a smartphone as a remote control, searching the Internet on the TV while watching a show, and creating a home page with app launch icons and TV channels.

While the original Reuters story linked to above was vague on the product details, CNET has confirmed with LG representatives that Seogho was referring to the previously announced G2 product series described above.
