Five exercises a woman should avoid

While women can tackle the same workouts as men, their joints are generally looser than a man's and "poor form and too much weight can lead to stiff joints or even damage".

2. Weighted squats



3. Behind-the-neck shoulder press



4. Straight leg push-up



5. Standing dead lift

CNN's Hologram

Anyone who watched CNN's election coverage must be wondering how on earth they managed to do the Star Wars Hologram. Here is an illustration that shows how CNN did (tricked) it...

Who does your child look like?

Do you and your spouse always fight over who your child looks like?

Google's Name Tag feature... Awesome!!!

Google quitely released a new feature called "Name Tags".

Go to My Photos in Picasaweb. Click a link called "Name tags" on the right side and let Google do the photo crunching for you. It is so cool that it processes your pictures while you navigate away from that page. To check the status, you go back to the website and it will show you status.

Once it is done processing, you click on "Add name tags" to start tagging people in your pictures.

I have quite a few pictures in my photo album and some of them are quite complicated with people positioned at various points in the pictures. So far Google didn't pick anything in pictures that is not a person's face. It identified and grouped people correctly (see picture). It even has suggestions for people (based on your previous selections).

Overall, I highly recommend this feature. I wish Windows has a similar feature that works as good as this.

A comfy train ride...
