Many a times we require disabling certain useful extensions as they cause conflicts with regularly visited websites. This can be done from Settings –> Tools –> Extensions in Chrome. However, it can be quite a laborious task to periodically enable and disable extensions from the extension management page. Quick Enable and Quick Disable are two Chrome extensions that allow instantly enabling...
Web-Based Jolicloud OS Reaches 1.0 →
One of the big benefits that Jolicloud has over the still-yet-to-launch Google Chrome OS is its ability to run both Web-based applications alongside traditional desktop apps such as Skype. In Google’s OS, apps are Web-only. In this way, Jolicloud is more of transitional step from desktop to cloud for users not ready - or able - to make the full leap.

Repair Cracked China with Milk! | Apartment... →
The idea is that the protein in the milk expands when heated and fills in the cracks. It then bonds with the surfaces and as it cools, becomes one with your china. Cool right? It’s a simple trick that’s well worth trying before you toss your good pieces or wait for them to crack apart at the most inconvenient of times!
Mental, but sounds interesting. Of course the irony is, that the...
How Kindle Can Turn Page Automatically For You... →
First, turn on the text-to-speech feature
turn the sound all the way down (so that you don’t hear the voice of text-to-speech)
Now keep reading
your Kindle will turn page automatic.
Don’t forget to turn off the feature while finish reading.

The Wordboner Blog: F*** G** →
The idea for the wordbonerism actually appeared when I was looking at a promo banner in my own store, on which I blurred the word “fuck”, to make it a little less controversial, since it’s on every page of any store. And then I thought to myself, What’s wrong with a little profanity every now and then? It doesn’t kill people like religion does. And that’s when I...

ampersandampersand:
Dear fellow ampersand lovers,
A great time has been had finding all manner of ampersands to present here – skinny, ostentatious, plain but dependable and leafy ones. There were ampersands that were elegant, graceful and serene but that didn’t leave out the stumpy, …
Fear not, there’s still a few I’ve not re-blogged yet! :D
