Face Recognition is a technology that has been adapted by search engines like Google, Live Search and Exalead in a move to tune up their image search results.

RapidShare is probably one of the biggest and fastest web hosters world wide. Rapidshare actually originated from rapidshare.de and switched over to rapidshare.com some time ago to give the web host a world wide recognized meaning. Still it lacks some basics features one of which is not providing the ability to search the hosted files.

15 Search Engines To Hunt Rapidshare Files

Rapidshare is a free for all web host where everyone can upload a file of their choice however to download a file you need a link to the rapidshare server where the file is actually hosted. This is good in terms of privacy but what if you want to download software, movies, music or ebooks of your choice and you don't know the links. That is where these rapidshare search engines do the job for us. Just type in your your keywords and they will hunt down files relating to that keyword hosted on rapidshare.

Some time ago I discussed about the new features YouTube is adding to the YouTube world which include introducing YouTube Remixer through which you can edit your online YouTube Videos and add spice to them and another major feature added was the new beta layout that is expected to release anytime soon. But reading over at Google OS I just discovered that YouTube has once again added a new feature to the YouTube Family.

Try The Custom Player By YouTube

The new YouTube Custom Player is a user specific feature that YouTube added for all its YouTube users. The Custom Player feature allows you to create a custom YouTube player for your blog or site. You can choose the color scheme of the embedded player and can also choose the videos you want to broadcast through it. it is more like a your own custom YouTube TV Channel.

Your email is your online brand and it really matters to people what email address you use normally. If you use an email provided by some ordinary mailbox service it probably might not have the influence equivalent to owning an email address from a reputable mailbox service like Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo. One such mailbox service is called Live Mailbox which is powered by Hotmail and lets you own an email in the format @live.com

Get Your own @Live.com Mailbox

By default you cannot register a @live.com email address due to the limitations by Hotmail. Time by time you will see different tricks over different blogs and sites that guide you to regsiter your own @live.com email address and recently the LiveSide shared a very similar and easy to follow guide that I will share further with my readers.

There are thousands and thousands of new computer peripherals and accessories that are still undiscovered by most of us. The reason is that either they were not advertised well or they were just too expensive for anyone of us to buy.

10 Most Expensive Computer Keyboards

All of my readers know that I have this never ending love for new gadgets and computer accessories. The love continues and finally today I have something for you that you have probably never seen before. I have made a list of the most expensive computer keyboards ranging from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Thanks a lot to my friend Cold-Fire for helping me out in making this list.

There may be many ways to check the popularity and average traffic of a site or blog but till now I have found Alexa to be the most accurate and easy to access. Alexa stats not only tell you about the average traffic of a site but also tell you if its listed in DMOZ (the biggest human-edited web directory) or not. Moreover it also gives you information about your site traffic geographically.

Get Alexa Stats Right in Your Firefox Browser

Alexa makes a site's stats graph using the information it gathers through the Alexa browser toolbar. Until now the toolbar was only available for Internet Explorer but thanks to Sparky now you can have an Alexa toolbar for firefox too. I have been using SearchStatus till now to check on-the-fly Alexa stats for different blogs and sites but now with an official Alexa toolbar for firefox on the loose I guess its time to say bye bye to SearchStatus.

Ok this article is a little off-topic to what I usually write on this blog but as I am a big Harry Potter fan so this was worth sharing.

We know its only 3 days left to the official release of the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows which is the seventh and last part of the Harry Potter series. The book has already hit Torrent sites and I guess it is a matter of time till we see it being distributed illegally online.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows

There are lots and lots of rumors and spoilers about the book online and its almost impossible to save yourself from these rumors. This stage is so crucial and fragile that its even hard for the readers to decide what is fake and what is right. Thanks to a little of my Internet research I have finally managed to get my hands on some images of what look like the chapter indexes of the final book.

Whether you are a simple web developer or a creative blogger, in either cases you need to capture and post website screenshots in order to fulfill different tasks. There a lot of methods to take partial/full screenshots of a website but yet I have seen no one discuss this in detail even though it can be of great use.

Easy Methods To Take Full Website Screenshots

Today I will share with you all the tools and resources that you can use for free to take instant screenshots of a website and post them on your blog or anywhere you would like. Some of these tools take full website screenshots while others just take partial but all of them can come very handy at times.

Trust me I do not have any extra ordinary interest in galaxies and pictures taken through space telescopes but often one finds things that are worth mentioning to the masses. The thing to wonder is that what is so interesting about the galaxy picture you see above?

The Sharpest Galaxy Image Ever Taken

The picture you see above is rescaled and resized version of the sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81. The actual size of the original picture that was taken through the Hubble Space Telescope is no less than 700 MB alone (almost 1 GB wow!). The image was released on 9 June 2007 at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I wonder when I will get my hands on this ever beauty. This is definitely one of the best cell gadgets ever made but due to its limitation to be used with AT&T only it has disappointed a large number of fans worldwide. But what if I tell you how to unlock an iPhone with just the push of one button? (No no! I am not a lunatic)

Software To Unlock/Hack/Activate an iPhone

This amazing software will enable you to hack/activate iPhone to be used with any service provider. It will keep you from limiting your iPhone to AT&T and signing the 2 year contract. I personally do not guarantee that this software will work or not but I have read in some forums and sources that it has proved to be lucky for some iPhone users so I think you must try this on your iPhone.
