Saving Your Printer Ink & Paper By Using Printing What You Like
Posted: October 29, 2008 Filed under: internet, web tools Leave a comment
Found something nice on the Internet but you only need to print what you really need – eg. an article? Of course, you don’t want those ads, header, logo and other junk spaces to be printed out. Using the method of ‘PrtScn SysRq’, paste it in MS Paint, cropped it until you’re satisfied and print it, will definitely be time-wasting and not feasible.
This is when the PrintWhatYouLike free online page editor comes in handy. Using this point-and-click element removal tool, you can remove useless ads and images, and even change the font types and sizes of your web pages! The coolest feature which PrintWhatYouLike provides is the combination of multiple web pages so that you can print them as one document instead of several of them.

Rather than using CamStudio (desktop-based) to record all screen and audio activity on your computer, try using ScreenToast (Web-based) instead. I personally feel that ScreenToast is much better tool as you not only can use it to help you create demos and tutorials online with no downloads needed, it can also enables you to publish your screencasts on the Web, and stream it in Flash.
Currently in private beta, you’ll need to enter your e-mail and the folks at ScreenToast will give you an invitation key so that you can continue with your registration.

10 Most Comfortable Tech Companies To Work In
Posted: October 28, 2008 Filed under: internet, technology Leave a commentEveryone including me loves to work for famous and big tech companies such as Google and Yahoo.

Pixar Animation Studios is a CGI animation production company which produces cool movies such as Wall.e, Cars, Ratatouille, and many more. Inside the Pixar office, you can find many creativity in it and some interesting designs.
4. Yahoo
Nearly bought over by tech giant – Microsoft early this year, Yahoo employees definitely object the takeover so that they can continue to work in really cool offices and Jerry Yang will still pump in more cash to enhance the working environment.
5. Apple
Located in Cupertino, California, Apple doesn’t owns an apple orchard but it’s a tech company which sells cool iPhones and iPods worldwide. Want to see where Steve Jobs and Co. works in? Here they are…

Schmedley – A Desktop Start Page For The Web Similar To The Mac OS
Posted: October 28, 2008 Filed under: software Leave a commentThe operating system market has been continuing to expand over the years with massive sales of the Windows and the Mac. Have you ever thought that they’ll be such thing known as the Web OS market maybe five to ten years later?
Well, Schmedley became the first to start this. What Schmedley does it that it’s an web-based desktop start page application which looks similar to the Apple’s dashboard especially the dock. It features many cool widgets such as Internet Search, YouTube, Stocks, RSS, Sticky Notes, Bookmarks, Facebook, Instant Messaging, E-mail and many more for browsing around the Web.
Currently in Beta version, Schmedley has a cool feature which it’s worth praising. That got to be the Search tool. From the word ‘search’, you know it’s something ordinary but when you try it out, you’ll know why I say it’s unique.
Simply type something into the search bar and what you’ll see is both Google and Yahoo results, sitting side by side. From there, you can find what you want faster and easier without opening two tabs in your browser – one for Google and the other for Yahoo.
