Hide Your Valuable Stuff with Air Vent Secret Compartment


The Air Vent Secret Compartment is supposed to be a hidden place where you can hide your stuff. You can hide stuff under your mattress or behind various other things that a thief would want to steal, but that’s pretty unorganized. What if you could hide your valuables inside of something that’s so common, that it’s completely out of sight? With approximately one trillion air vents in the U.S. alone, the chances of a thief discovering your air vent safe are extremely minimal ( ofcourse if he doesn’t already ready Freshome and saw this post ). To install it, just cut out a section of drywall, and put in the compartment fastening it with screws. It opens with a mechanism that is hidden in the grill and no one will see your stuff thanks to a black divider. Is not to safe, but is very well hidden you have to admit. Price : $260

Remote sign out and info to help you protect your Gmail account

Your email account can contain a lot of personal information, from bank alerts to love letters. Email that, I'm sure, you don't always want other people to see. With this new feature, you can now track your recent sessions and you can also sign yourself out remotely.

If you are anything like me, you probably sign in to Gmail from multiple computers. I, for example, occasionally sign into my Gmail account from a friend's house when I need to check an important email. Usually I remember to sign out, but every once in a while I wonder if I really did. Now I no longer have to wonder.

At the bottom of your inbox, you'll see information about the time of the last activity on your account and whether it's still open in another location:



Using the above example, a quick glance at the footer while I'm at work shows that my account is indeed open in one other location. But I recognize
the IP address - it's my computer at home. Turns out I left my Gmail account open when I left home in a hurry this morning.

Convert your Powerpoint presentation to Flash Video


Windows only: Freeware PowerPoint plug-in iSpring converts your
PowerPoint presentation to an interactive Flash video with the click of
a button. Not only is iSpring a great way to make your PowerPoint
presentation more portable (not everyone has PowerPoint, after all),
but as Digital Inspiration points out, an exported movie even preserves
all of your slide transitions, animations, and hyperlinks. iSpring is
freeware, Windows only, works with PowerPoint 2000 through 2007.
Alternately, you can upload any presentation directly to the SlideBoom
web site (which appears to convert and host Flash movies made with
iSpring) if you don't want to host the presentation yourself.

When is Manual Focus Better than Auto Focus?

Manual-FocusingModern day Digital Cameras present photographers with an ever increasing array of Automatic and Semi Automatic shooting modes. Most of these center around different ways of exposing your shots - however many cameras also give options for different focusing modes (eg - auto, continuous focusing for moving subjects, single point focusing, multiple point focusing, face recognition focusing and manual).

It’s no wonder then that many photographers never make use of their camera and lens’ ability to focus manually.

Here are the scenarios where Manual focus might be of help to you:

  1. Macro Pictures
  2. Portrait Pictures
  3. Shooting through Glass or wire fences
  4. Action Pictures
  5. Low Light Pictures

Rocky & Terminator to star in Bollywood movie


There’s an interesting article online that talks about a Bollywood film that will be made for the first time at Universal Studios Hollywood. It’s going to be a huge production, the biggest of its kind in Bollywood history.

Now normally that wouldn’t be such a big deal, but this one features an interesting catch. It will feature “the Oak” himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger alongside Sly Stallone. That’s right, you read it correctly. The Govenater and Rocky Balboa. According to the story the movie will be about an Indian stuntman who takes Hollywood by storm but cannot find true love there. The two will appear alongside the Bollywood stars Ashkay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in Incredible Love.

The article goes onto to confirm:

Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer, said his success in landing Stallone and Schwarzenegger reflected the growing power of the Indian film market and Bollywood’s increasing cooperation with Hollywood studios that are keen to cut costs.
