Features , the most important thing about a Gadget :



Multimedia and online features

Wi-Fi : The PSP has built-in Wi-Fi capability, allowing it to connect to any wireless Internet service, including those with WEP and WPA encryption (but not WPA2).

Video playback A variety of freeware and commercial software products can readily convert files to PSP-friendly formats and resolutions (MPEG4 or H.264-AVC, up to 720x480). Many DVDs now include a PSP-compatible Digital Copy as well.

LocationFree TV: Built into the PSP is the ability to stream live TV from a Sony LocationFree TV device, which is Sony's take on the Slingbox. As long as the PSP is in a Wi-Fi hot spot, it can stream the video and change the channels on a LocationFree box, even if it's halfway around the world.

Audio playback: The PSP doubles as a decent music player, with the ability to play DRM-free MP3, WMA, WAV, AAC, and ATRAC3 files, along with support for album art. Shuffle and repeat modes are supported, along with a visualizer function.

Photo display: The PSP can display JPEG, GIF, and TIFF photos stored on the MS Duo card--individually, or as a slide show

Skype: As mentioned above, the PSP 3000 has a built-in Skype client, which can be used for free Skype-to-Skype calls as well as calls to and from regular phones (if you invest in paid Skype add-ons)
PS3 "Remote Play": The PSP can log into a PlayStation 3 on a home network or via the Web, and stream any video, audio, or photos stored on the PS3.

Web browsing: The PSP has a built-in Web browser, but it's the one place--more than games--where you'll really lament the device's lack of a touch screen (or even a numeric keypad).

RSS reader: Separate from the Web browser is an RSS reader, but it could use an overhaul to make it easier to use and add your own feeds.

Internet radio: The PSP has a dedicated Shoutcast client that offers free streaming Internet radio.
Search: There's also a dedicated icon for doing a Google search.

Network update: The PSP has upgradeable firmware, and Sony has been diligent about adding additional features, fixes, and updates every few months. The upgrade is as simple as choosing the option from the system menu.

Battery Life : According to some reviewers , the battery life hasn't upgraded much .

Create Self Destructing Notes with Privnote !

Written on 8:57 AM by Rahul Mathur

Hello Humanoids . I am yet again pretty busy lately , now i have something pretty unique . How many of you wanted to send private notes to your friends but wanted him / her to remove it after he / she reads but he/she refuses to do so and the era of blackmailing begins .

But now here is the app which can be pretty useful ,



Privnote



What is Privnote ?

Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all.

What are its features ?

Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, it will see the note in her browser and the note will automatically self-destruct, which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore.

You can optionally choose to be notified when your note is read by leaving your email and a reference for the note.



Can i embed this on my site ?

Sure just copy and paste this code .


And what's teh big deal with it ?

Its basically for sending super confidential stuffs , your very important business data or passwords which you won't wanna be on his/ her email for long . Just send in the super confidentail note , and when the receiver gets the email , you get notified when he reads it and when its done it gets deleted for ever , yeah forever .

Hope you did like this Super Agent style interesting website , great concept but lacks users .

Hope you enjoyed the article ,

Make a dedicated iPhone or Mobile version of your blog for free !

Written on 1:29 AM by Rahul Mathur

Hello Humanoids , I was just going through various websites and i read it somewhere that 10 % ( correct me if i am wrong )of the smart phones market has been captured by the iPhones , and this is huge . So i wondered how i could have an iPhone version of my blog , and this website couldn't have been better .



Mofuse : Mofuse is a website that mobilises your blog / website on a .mobi domain . MoFuse gives content publishers, like bloggers, the ability to publish their content to the mobile web. You don't have to be a content publisher to use MoFuse though, anyone can create a mobile website in just a few minutes using the intuitive MoFuse platform.


Making your blog / website into  a mobile compatible version is very easy .

  • Just  go to the homepage  , see the mobilize now window , add your site url and click on mobilize it  mobilize it !

  • Then keep following the steps and you shall have your own mobile version of it ;)  

So what features do we get :

See , once you get the mobile domain done , you can get options like :

  • Custom Domain 
  • Designing or coloring your mobile blog
  • Making a logo for the blog
  • Editing home page , adding links , adding pages
  • Comment widgets 
  • Click to call  , sms widget , click to call ,etc
  • You also get to know the stats of your blog , this is great since you get to know how many people actually read the mobile version of your blog !

If you are using a custom domain , then great news my friend !  This is how you can creat a subdomain :


  • In order to use a custom domain with your MoFuse mobile site you will need to be able to add a CNAME entry into your DNS.
  • Make a CNAME entry in your DNS and point it to: your-mofuse-address.mofuse.mobi
Note: It make take up to 48 hours for your DNS to make the changes , but in my case it happened in matter of seconds .

Hope you did enjoy reading this article , and i  shall write a seperate post if i make a mobile version of my blog .

Take  Care,

This happens only in India !

Written on 9:18 AM by Rahul Mathur

Hello Humanoids . The month of October is a month of festivals and holidays ( yipee ) for people here in India . I don travel much due to my tight schedule but i did get some time and i went to a Navratri  celebration.

So this is what Navratri basically is :

The festival of Navratri lasts for nine nights.According to the Hindu calendar Navratri celebration begins from the first day of the bright fortnight of Ashwin.This festival is fully dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga Mata and her nine forms. These nine days are celebrated in all over the country with an ardent zeal and enthusiasm. The devotees all over India celebrated the last three days with much solemnity, calm and joy. But in the tenth day, Dussehra or Vijayadashmi is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana.

There was a big ground there in which people did a traditional dance called " garbha " and " dandiya " , but blah who cares ? I went to that place to eat variety of food from all over India , actually i did eat  a lot .

But the most special thing about the place was the Paan waala stall , you must be wondering who actually is a paanwala ?  He is basically the person who makes a  paan ,  now dont make me tell you what paan is , sigh .

Paan (a juicy betel leaf stuffed with condiments) is very popular in India .

So what they did was that they gave us paan not in a normal way , but they did give us in  a special way which is pretty uncommon , unlike the tradition long moustached paan waalas .

Actually the video i captured shows how people tend to enjoy their life in the festival days , people forget every tension thats been with them from the past , its just about celebrating and yes doing something special always !  This video also reflects a part of our Hindu tradition . And yes you get to see not just the paan making process , you also get to see the special effects ;)

Here is what i captured on my mobile  , Note - This video may seem boring  or even pointless to some people  but i found this video unique and adorable enough to be on my blog and yes after this post i promise to be back to my traditional tech and internet related posts ,



Hope you enjoy the 4 minute 11 seconds video , remember you will enjoy the video if you keep watching it for few seconds  :

Dragon Ball the Movie : A look at the Leaked Trailers !

Written on 11:05 AM by Rahul Mathur

Hello Humanoids . As i promised in my previous Dragon Ball The Movie Trailer Screen shot post , that i will keep you up to date with this upcoming movie and surprisingly for Dragon Ball fan boys , the trailer got leaked on DbThe movie .com

Here is the " Officially " Leaked  trailer :




After watching this trailer , my thoughts became reality . This movie is the worst movie based on anime , THIS MOVIE Hasn't DONE ANYTHING TO BE LIKE THE CARTOON !

Goku looks so bad , the blazing fire from Picollo looks like an air wave ,the dragon ball doesn't have the traditional stars on it ,  ,  the characters made have horrible casting - None of the characters look similar , their clothes ,special effects, their way of expression look like just another Kung fu movie :-(

Here are selected 6 user comments on the video :

OMG THIS FREAKING ROCKS SOOOOO HARD. THE EFFECTS LOOK BEATUFIFUL! and all the eye-popping dragonball scenery looks to be there too! wow, i was just looking at the first audioless trailer and THIS comes!

If the teaser is how the movie will be, then this movie does NOT seems like the original DragonBall… I hope that it brings better things but the teaser disappointed me a lot
 Im not going to complain…but eh. Looks pretty sweet, but Im not blown away. I think the music and dialoge was kinda meh but other than that this movie looks badass. I have a feeling that the haters will now hate this movie even more. But thanks for posting Adam, Im suprised it hasnt hit SHH yet.

i dont know about yall but as a fan of the series im a lil disapointed at the trailer. i hope the movie is better. this doesnt look bad though. but to be honest when it didnt have sound it looked better. but i guess well see right. one thing that was exciting to see was the fireballs it looks like it gonna be true to the series fighting wise. i just expected this to be better since they minused krillin roshi pervertedness and a storyline worth listening to.

anyway time for some actual pulling apart of the trailer…
when we first see roshi he has a beard, im thinking this is a flashback or where the movie will start. And that is where we see the other dragon temple members.
Goku recieveing his gi, I might be wrong as I havnt seen the episode in a while but didnt roshi give them there gi’s in a suitcase as well just before the martial arts tournament?
then at 23 seconds we see goku and chi chi standing next to each other beofre goku looks at the eclipse. I think this seen is gohans funeral.
at 37 we see a fight with scenerary that looks like it was taken straight out of the anime, looks fantastic, the person in the air is bald, It is possible that it is piccolo.
Then we go to bulma looking threw a hole in the wall, followed soon by yamcha with a drill, most likely related. It would seem that they are trying to break into somewhere probaly to get a dragonball.
Also in the second trailer we see bulma coming through some doors with guns out. the room looks futeristic, possibly piccolos hidout?
Then we see some energy bolts from roshi, piccolo and explosions, a montage of some of the action.
So I think from this trailer we get quiet a bit of whats going to happen in the movie.


People, seriously, I really cannot understand how you still like this movie after seeing that mediocre teaser. I think you either self-conditionated into liking it or you actually despise it but you haven’t enough courage to admit it after all those months of avid bootlicking.
I’ve following the progress of this movie from the very beginning because I’ve always wanted a Dragonball movie. A nice one, actually. I’ve tried hard to see hope along the increasingly crappy advances. But THIS is not the thing I was waiting for. For those of you, with that nonsensical “realistic movie” argument, I have several things to say.
Dragonball’s core appeal comes from its weirdness. Dragonball is not only about people flying and shooting energy and fighting lightning-fast, but the overall setting, unique characters and odd things happening all the time.
I can show you how wrong you are. Most of the Dragonball features you called “silly” or “unsuitable for a live-action film” are already on American cinema. Actually, the majority of the films I’m about to reference are very respectable productions:
- Flying human beings: The Matrix Trilogy
- Unrealistic fights (including an aerial fight): The Matrix Trilogy
- People with odd hair color/haircuts: The Fifth Element, A Clockwork Orange, countless others
- Tailed human: Nightcrawler from X2
- Giant monkey: Peter Jackson’s King Kong
- Talking animals: Men in Black films, Narnia films, The Golden Compass
- Aliens come to Earth in human-sized pods: Spielberg’s War of the Worlds
- Giant manned robots: Spielberg’s War of the Worlds
- Anthropomorphic manned robots: Aliens, Iron Man
- Dinosaurs in modern times: Jurassic Park films
- People riding dinosaurs: Star Wars films
- Flying land vehicles: Star Wars films
- People shooting energy from his hands: any Sith
- Anthropomorphic dogs: Chewbacca!
- Old green man with pointy ears: Yoda!
- Green man with antennae: Greedo
- Green man: Abe Sapiens from Hellboy
As you can see, those movies, particularly the Star Wars franchise, are very successful. But Dragonball, with all its rich mythology of wonderful beings and events, has been straight raped in front of you, loyal fans, to favor this awful piece of bad filmmaking and poor artistic licence. If you ask me :| , Wong just has not enough  to manage the scope of what Dragonball really is. He had the opportunity to induce new, fascinating characters to American cinema, unlike Yoda (it’s a puppet, after all): three eyed men, talking cats, an entire fantasy army with badass weaponry… God, if George Lucas wants a fat, tailed bastard on his movies, he just do it and people proceed to love the result…
…But suddenly, Dragonball must be forcefully adapted into Karate Kid but with B-movie-like special effects.
You can make the difference. You can get a better Dragonball, because the box office has the power of telling the industry how to do things properly. It happened with Ang Lee’s Hulk, it happened with Superman Returns.
Think about it.


I didn't like the trailer at all , but this trailer has mixed reactions like always , The only thing i like about the video is Picollo is Green !

What do you say about the trailer ?
