Pimp Your PC – 25 CPU Coolers You Should See Posted: 29 Aug 2013 08:01 AM PDT Like the way we expect a man to be able to know his way around a car, we expect geeks to be able to fix his own PC – whether it be a software- or hardware-related issue. So when a desktop PC overheats, causing a loss in performance, a geek or gamer’s first thought would be to improve cooling to the CPU. Changing a CPU cooler cannot be done on pre-built PC, the kind you buy off the shelves. This is why a common trait of a geek is being able to build their own, cheaper and often better-performing desktop PC. Whether or not you are into building or modding your PC, be sure to check out these 25 CPU Coolers that make your system look and perform cooler.

17 Premium Horizontal Scrolling WordPress Themes Posted: 29 Aug 2013 06:01 AM PDT When you think of a WordPress theme, you probably picture your average vertical-scrolling (up and down) theme; these types are definitely the most popular. However, if you’re looking to make your blog stand out or just want a unique portfolio theme, you may want to consider changing the orientation – to a horizontal-scrolling (left to right) theme. Some WordPress themes that scroll horizontally may put you in the mind of reading a book – something that many readers are sure to appreciate. Horizontal-scrolling themes are also great for designers, artists and illustrators who want to showcase their work since it’s a more natural way of looking through designs and artwork.

Download Web Videos To Your IPhone For Free With VDownload Posted: 29 Aug 2013 03:01 AM PDT Ever stumbled upon a viral or a long tech related video which you would play again and again to rewatch (say when you’re travelling and away from data connection) or show to friends? Android devices might have it more flexible when it comes to downloading a video onto the device but for iOS devices and users, it’s always "there’s an app for that". Video Download Free does exactly what its name implies: it allows you to download videos off websites to your iOS devices. It’s also very simple to use and the best part is it’s free. Here’s how you can enjoy your videos offline on your iPhone or any other iOS device. Recommended Reading: 15 (More) iPhone Tips & Tricks You Probably Don’t Know Using VDownloadVideo Download Free will show as VDownload on your iOS device after installation. The app has a built-in web browser where you can download videos from certain websites. There are 2 methods to download videos off websites. The method varies between the websites so you’ll have to experiment. To download just press the browser’s middle button at the bottom then choose Save Videos. On some sites you may have to play the video first, where it’ll then prompt you to Cache Video to Memory aka download it. You can see the download progress by tapping the Downloads button. Once it is finished, you can find and watch it under Videos. Although the app has ads as you navigate through the website, you won’t see any while watching your downloaded videos. Some videos might be named in code after downloading it, but you can easily rename it, or categorize it under folders. You can also save it to your device’s photo gallery by tapping on Save to Albums. ConclusionWe tested the app on a few websites and found that you can download videos from YouTube, Instagram, Vine, MetaCafe and CollegeHumour. Websites that are not supported are Vimeo, Blip.TV and DailyMotion. |
Editorially – An Elegant Markdown Online Editor For Collaborative Writing Posted: 29 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT As writers for print make the transition to becoming writers for Web, they come across many writing apps that (try to) cater for both mediums yet fail to provide all the necessary tools that are actually required. Well, that is about to change. Let me introduce to you a new, reinvented way to write, share and collaborate on your web projects using Editorially. Editorially is a minimalistic text editor that spares you the bells and whistles and lets you get down to just putting your ideas onto paper. You can write on it like you do on your word processor then export the final result in HTML, as well as work simultaneously with your editor, colleagues and/or clients. Recommended Reading: Writing web content with MarkDown Writing Distraction-FreeWhen you are in Editorially, most of what you see is plenty of whitespace for you to scribble on. No toolboxes, no formatting guides; all that matters is you and what you want to write. That said, there are some great traits hidden away in a sticky bar on the top of the writing space. Hidden in fluid and simple drop-down menus are your tools to do things like create new documents, save your current version, export your content, talk to collaborators, find and compare current and previous versions and more. Version ControlA common problem in publishing is the need to work out multiple versions of the same article. Stay on top of all these different versions and stay in control with the timeline. You can compare old and current versions, which are dated and even attributed to the person who made the changes. Choose to revert to a particular version, anytime you find it necessary. This is a very nice and convenient feature that takes you away from catastrophe of over-riding versions and changes. Collaborative WritingYou can invite fellow Editorially users to work on the same document at the same time. Assign roles – reviewer, editor, owner – to make things much, much easier to manage or improve on.
Even better, discuss the post right outside the writing space with the built-in chat with text highlighting support to get colleagues all in the same page. Writing With markdownAnother way Editorially makes writing with it simple, is the use of Markdown. Rather than use tags, formatting on Editorially is done with hashes, asterisks and brackets. Here is a cheatsheet of the formatting used. To get the final copy in HTML form, just export the content when it is done. Cick the gear icon in the middle of the bar to reveal the option to Export. You will also find a handy word/character count. Advantages
Disadvantages
ConclusionI believe Editorially will help many people improve their writing efficiency and increase their productivity. Editorially is still in private beta and they are still ironing out the creases as we speak. Sign up at their site to get an invite (although I have a couple more to give away). While we’re on that subject, check out 6 Rules To Getting The Perfect Format. |
