Use Google Drive to Host your Website
Do you know that Google Drive Supports web hosting?yes its true.now you can host your website for free on google drive.currently it only supports hosting of HTML,CSS and JS files.

Merge multiple vcf files
Google Contacts does not allow multiple vcf upload at a time,so the only available option is to upload each and ever vcf individually which is a damn tedious job.so today we'll see how to simply merge multiple vcf files into a single file.
- First move all the vcf files into a folder
- Now open command prompt in that folder,for windows 8,goto file menu select open command prompt
- if earlier version of windows, search for cmd and then change the working directory to the folder containing your vcfs using the cd keyword
cd [file path]
- Now type the below command
copy *.vcf merged.vcf
- There you go all your vcfs merged into one vcf file "merged.vcf" which you can directly upload to your google account
Translate books and documents
If you ever wanted to translate Ebooks or documents into different languages or even your own language,then this post is for you.
We are going to see two methods through which we can effortlessly (and of course for free ) translate documents across different languages
Google Translator ToolKit:
- You would need a google Account for this.first sign in to your google account.now visit Google translator toolkit page.
- Currently it does not extend its support for pdf documents,but no worries you can convert your pdf in to a word document using pdf to word converter (you really don't have to create an account on nitro cloud but if you do so you are credited with upto 5 full document conversions per month and as always you are free to try out some other converters as well )
- now upload your document to google translator and wait for the file to be processed
- you can see in the below snap where i tried to translate some random Portuguese document to english,it may not be that accurate coz its machine generator but it pretty much does the job
- You can just copy the text from right pane and paste it in whatever text editor you prefer.
Microsoft office Translator:
- well this is even more simple,just convert your pdf to a word or rtf (Rich Text Format ) file
- open it using specific office package (word,word pad etc etc )
- select the entire text ( Cntrl+a )
- Right click and select translate
- Select your from and to Languages and click go
- And there you have the translated document
- But a minor problem with this method is you would loose all the formatting of your text,you just have long lines of text when you copy it,but for small documents its just fine
So now that you know how to translate your documents bon jour people!
Google launches new desktop apps for windows 8
Here’s what you can expect with new Chrome Apps: (Copy + paste from chrome blogs :P )
- Work offline: Keep working or playing, even when you don’t have an internet connection.
- More app, less Chrome: No tabs, buttons or text boxes mean you can get into the app without being distracted by the rest of the web.
- Connect to the cloud: Access and save the documents, photos and videos on your hard drive as well as on Google Drive and other web services.
- Stay up-to-speed: With desktop notifications, you can get reminders, updates and even take action, right from the notification center.
- Play nice with your connected devices: Interact with your USB, Bluetooth and other devices connected to your desktop, including digital cameras.
- Keep updated automatically: Apps update silently, so you always get all the latest features and security fixes (unless permissions change).
- Pick up where you left off: Chrome syncs your apps to any desktop device you sign in to, so you can keep working.
- Sleep easier: Chrome apps take advantage of Chrome’s built-in security features such asSandboxing. They also auto-update to make sure you have all the latest security fixes. No extra software (or worrying) required.
- Launch apps directly from your desktop: To make it quicker and easier to get to your favorite apps, we’re also introducing the Chrome App Launcher for Windows, which will appear when you install your first new Chrome App. It lives in your taskbar and launches your apps into their own windows, outside of Chrome, just like your desktop apps. Have lots of apps? Navigate to your favorite apps using the search box.

The Youtube Magic
Hey guyz!,its been long since my recent post. :P in this post lets see some tricks you can do to smartify your youtube experience :)
watch whats worth!
how much time have you wasted watching the initial boring parts of a youtube video like the titles,unnecessary introductions etc?count it no more.with a simple trick you can just skip all those and get straight to the main part.
For example consider the below url for the legendary steve jobs stanford commencement addressing,
it contains an introduction part,but like me if you are only intrested in the speech of steve jobs rather than others,add a small line of query next to the url,
&wadsworth=1
the finished url looks similar to that of below
and when you hit enter you can see that certain part of the video has been skipped which roughly contains all the unwanted slag
You can also see that there is an indication in the navigation bar marking the start of important event
Magic Actions:
Its a simple extension for a more fancy youtube,first you need to get your browser specific Magic Actions for Youtube
after the extension is added to your browser,you can see a menu bar below you video window of youtube and a small weird looking icon before the youtube logo,
It has various options like support for night view mode,movie mode,repeat etc etc but there are two options which i find are pretty useful and functional.
Scroll wheel to control sound:
you can place your mouse anywhere on the video screen and increase or decrease the volume by just scrolling your mouse wheel which is pretty handy,
