| PixelSleeve for Notebooks by Speck [Mini Giveaway] Posted: 15 Oct 2010 07:30 PM PDT
For me, I tend to go with the least bulky option. When I bought my BlackBook many moons ago, I got a cheap Case Logic sleeve that I still have with me today. It served me well. But if I had the option, I’d get one of Speck’s PixelSleeves. I’ll tell you why in a second. Today, we’ll be giving away 3 sleeves of any colour and size to three lucky MakeUseOf readers. Do you feel lucky?
Unlike many MacBook sleeves in the market, this one has a handle. Just because it’s a sleeve doesn’t mean you can’t carry it around. You can’t possible hug your laptop while in its sleeve all the time so a handle is pretty convenient. More often than you’d think.
The sleeve is made out of neoprene so it’s very, very soft and ultra light. It’s also much thicker than my existing Case Logic sleeve, which is a plus in my book because I won’t need to worry about bumping it around.
The PixelSleeve’s interior is lined with micro-fleece (which I initially mistaken as felt). Micro-fleece is super soft and very plush — providing the perfect scratch-free environment to store your laptop. Trust me, it’s uber comfortable. Here’s a close up of the inner lining.
Lastly, the PixelSleeve isn’t a wrap-over sleeve, like most cheap sleeves you’ll find in computer stores. It has a zip to ensure that no matter what happens, your laptop stays in the sleeve. In case you’re wondering, the laptop and the zip won’t come in contact of each other. There’s a small neoprene barrier to prevent the zip from scratching your laptop. Genius.
The PixelSleeve comes in 3 colours: black, pink and purple. It’s available in 3 different sizes to fit a variety of personal computing devices: 10″, 13″ and 15″. Today, we’ll be giving away 3 PixelSleeves of your preferred colour and size! Keep reading if you want to win one. How do I enter?It’s simple, just follow the instructions.

| 7 Inspirational Photos From Flickr’s “Interestingness” Section Posted: 15 Oct 2010 04:31 PM PDT
You can of course view these photos for their sheer artistic expression, but you can also learn photo techniques and strategies for capturing similar images. So the following are seven images from “Interestingness” with brief descriptions of what I think stands out in these selections, as well as what techniques the photographers may have used in making the images.
Please link to the photos and give the photographers some much deserved positive comments. Lost Leg, by mav_at
Often I see elements of graphic design in subjects for photos. In this photo, the photographer crops out much of the subject and captures recurring squares in both the pool and the tile. The nice curve that runs through the middle of the image completes the composition. You can find subjects for these type of photos nearly everywhere in downtown buildings and other forms of architecture. Exif Data: Nikon D300S, f/2.8, 1/100 sec, 50mm, ISO 400 Factory Contest 2010, sTe
For an action shot like this one, you have to be prepared. You can't point and shoot at the subject to capture an image like this. The photographer used both a slow shutter speed of 1/40th of a second and he panned his camera with the movement of the biker as he clicked the shutter. This technique freezes the subject in the foreground and blurs the background. If the photographer had used a fast shutter speed, he would have not got the blurred motion effect. Be prepared to take several shots at these type of sporting events to capture one really great one like this. Exif Data : Olympus E-420, f/1.0, 1.40 sec, ISO 100, QuickTime software Sunset Pier, by Eric
Every serious photographer should capture at least one sunset shot in his or her lifetime. This image features a very nice silhouette with the setting sun in the background. Silhouettes should be very distinctive and their shapes very familiar in these type of shots. You typically want to shoot using a tripod with a relatively wide aperture or slow shutter speed. Notice that the photographer used a very slow ISO (light sensitivity setting) which helps reduce graininess in the image. These type of shots are typically not spontaneous. You will probably want to visit the venue several times to capture the right moment. Exif Data: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, f/8.0, 1/640 sec, ISO 50, 200mm, Aperture 3.0 software Red and Green, by rosyrosie2009
Close-up photos of raindrops on flowers or tree leafs like this one can be so striking because they capture and depict such a beautiful part of nature. As soon as the rain stops, it's a perfect time to grab your camera and tripod (to avoid camera shake) and set up for this type of shot. This photo is appropriately titled because the contrast of the green blurred background and the red foreground compliment one another so strongly. The photographer's use of a telephoto lens helps create the strong shallow depth of field which strengthens the detail of the foreground. If you're a serious photographer, definitely try to shoot these type of images. Exif Data: Nikon D5000, f/7.1, 1/125, ISO 256, 185mm, GIMP software Terminó la Fiesta, by joshico
This shot, in a section of Bétera, Valencia, is very picturesque. The contours of the street and apartments lead your eyes into the image. The rich color and tones make this photo almost like a painting. You almost walk into a subject like this and visualize how it will look before you take the shot. Exif Data : none Hiding Place, by Jonathan Hackett
The drama of the cloudy sky and the smooth silky texture of the water in this black and white image convey both an awesome and eerie feel. The lighting of the rich and powerful architecture of the silhouetted bridge is well controlled both in the taking of the shot and in post production in Photoshop. The shot was taken with enough light to see the bridge's reflection in the water. Nearly anytime you can capture reflections in a photograph, the subject of the image stands out more. The photographer more than likely used a tripod so as to capture a sharp, detailed image. Exif Data: Canon 50D, f/29, 100 ISO, 20mm, Adobe Photoshop CS4. Orange, by John Baird
Many images are powerful for the simplicity of the subject. This is the type of photo you capture just driving around in any city or town. A lone abandoned car, truck, trailer sitting against a bright colorful background is just waiting to be photographed. There's nothing to set up about this image. On a bright day, you can capture it hand-held. And don't be bashful about bumping up the color contrast in Photoshop to make the colors stronger and richer. Exif Data: Canon 30D, f/2.8, 1/250 seq, 50mm, ISO 100 Adobe Photoshop C3 If you are a beginner or intermediate photographer, please check out my MUO Guide to Digital Photography for additional tips for shooting photos.

| Access Your Email & Social Messages All In One Place With Inbox2 Posted: 15 Oct 2010 02:31 PM PDT
I wake up, get ready for the day, and head off to work. Once at my desk, I check my Gmail account. Then, I head over to Facebook to check my messages, see whose birthday it is, etc. After that, I open up my Twitter account and respond to any messages I’ve received there. Finally, I sit back and read through my Google Reader feeds to catch up on the morning’s news. Sound familiar? Sometimes I wish I could scale all of that back a little. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to check all of your messages in one place? Well, I think I’ve finally found an application that’s capable of this.
What Is Inbox2?
A “lifestyle” application? To put it simply, Inbox2 helps keep you connected with the people you communicate with. Here’s a video to help visually show you what we’re talking about here: With support for all of your email accounts and your most important social profiles, Inbox2 collects all your messages, documents, links and contacts from these accounts in one convenient place. You can read, reply and search through all of your content without having to log into multiple accounts. The platform is designed to
Allow me to show you what they mean: Email SupportInbox2′s innovative email platform allows you to plug in your existing email accounts or any custom IMAP or POP3 accounts you have. Supported accounts include Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and Exchange.
The content of your Inbox flows in a stream, allowing you to easily customize it to see what matters most. Messages in the stream are shown in conversation form, which is an attempt to make it easier to follow for you. You can engage directly into taking necessary action with your emails or organize any of the content in the stream. Your Social NetworksThere is also support for your social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Hyves, Yammer and Twitter.
Updates are pulled into your stream alongside your other messages and can be sorted by platform. Status updates are also displayed on the side of the screen and you can message anyone on your contact list. [Note]: For me, Twitter didn’t play well with Inbox2. It gave me a server error, which could be on Twitter’s end. I’m hoping this issue will be resolved shortly. OrganizationWith all of your content in one place, Inbox2 allows the use of smart labels and stars for messages and attachments. You can also import your existing labels from other services such as Gmail. Inbox2 lets you use labels for all of your accounts. Searching allows you to find a message regardless of what platform it was posted on, and you can use it to help you organize each inbox you have separately. Final ThoughtsAfter using Inbox2, I have noticed that there is a lot of initial work to be done in the way of customizing it to fit your needs. Once you get everything how you like it, however, it can be quite useful. It was a little buggy in some aspects for me, but this is to be expected with a fairly new application. Overall, I was very satisfied with the interface and I think this has the potential to turn into a really handy application. Will you be giving Inbox2 a try? What applications are you using to manage all of your messages? Leave your thoughts, ideas and comments below! Do you like MakeUseOf articles? Don’t forget to share our articles with others!

| 5 Style Websites To Buy Cheap Trendy Clothes Posted: 15 Oct 2010 12:31 PM PDT
Plus, who decides what counts as trendy? Or cheap? Some stores love to tell you that they’re cheap, when they’re merely cheaper. Reducing a $2,000 item to $1,500 is still a bargain, but it’s clearly not cheap. When compiling this list, price factored highly. If you can’t buy a decent selection of clothes and shoes for $30-$35 in the store then it doesn’t feature in the list.
1. A’GaciA’Gaci is a fashionista’s dream, with plenty of cheap clothes for the fashionable girl. Browse by trend, outfit, or the usual pants, accessories, shoes categories. If you shop by trend, you get a page much like a magazine, with links to all the products. They really make it easy to find new bargains! A’Gaci in fact really surprised me, because it even had some cute and classy homecoming dresses for $30-$35. Take a look!
2. Forever 21With a whole section dedicated to men, Forever 21 is the most gender-balanced store on the list. At least half of the men’s jackets fell into the $30-$35 range, t-shirts and other smaller items are far cheaper. For girls, prices are just as cheap. You can find incredibly cute dresses, shoes and other items easily for $30 and under.
3. Make Me ChicMake Me Chic has a great selection of dresses, boots, pants, fancy dress costumes, swimwear and all sorts of women’s clothing. This shop is surprising, since it’s quite difficult to find anything over $30 at all. Even more surprising is that someone with taste is behind it, meaning these bargain-priced clothes are actually quite good looking. Very much worth a look!
4. AsosAsos is every fashion magazine-lover’s dream come true. Browse through to any interesting headline and you’ll either find a page full of great products to buy, a feature article on fashion or a page of style ideas with suggested products. What’s even better is that — unlike reading a magazine — you can click through on these products to a page where you can buy them. Fantastic! Not all of it’s rock-bottom cheap though, so make sure you check out the sales.
5. Cutesy GirlCutesy girl is — sorry guys — just for the girls, but fits the bill for women’s cheap clothing needs. Navigation on this site is really easy. Under any general section (shoes, apparel, etc.) you can filter by item or size. Then, you can filter further using the sidebar options for specific attributes or brands. This makes for some quick easy shopping. It also seems, no matter how far you narrow down your search there’s still a huge selection of products to choose from.
Bonus Store: Fashion RemixI nearly didn’t feature Fashion Remix because so much of the stock is way over the $35 mark. However, it does make it very easy for you to find the cheaper items. Look at what’s on sale, then narrow it down even further by clicking on your favourite designer, colour or other feature. In the sale section, this fantastic designer store can definitely provide cheap fashion for you. Here you’ll find goods for guys too!
Want More?If you’re still shopping for that perfect bargain, you can always take a look at eBay and Amazon. Both of these mega-giant retailers feature a great selection of cheap, trendy clothes. Check out the sales! If you’re keen for more fashion-oriented reading, check out these posts:

| The 5 Best Joke Of The Day Sites Ever Posted: 15 Oct 2010 11:31 AM PDT
Well, I can't and won't. Jokes more than anything else rely on the sense of humor each one of us has. So, I will leave it to each of you to find your own. In the mixed bag of these five joke and humor sites you should definitely find something to laugh at. If you don't, then you can head over to some we had previously covered in the 8 Best Daily Jokes Sites To Lighten Up Your Mood.
Here are five funny pills for your funny-bone. Jokes.com
These guys walked away with the domain name that many would have bribed for. It is one of Comedy Central's – the U.S comedy network – web offerings. With just your email you can sign up to receive “the joke of the day” by email. A ZIP code is mandatory. The best thing about the jokes on Jokes.com is that they are not rehashes, but original stuff from the comedians on Comedy Central. If you are on the site, you can search for jokes by the name of these comedians, by tag, or by category. You can also catch many of the jokes on video clips being told the way it should be told. The Onion
Okay, this well known website leans less towards straight-up jokes and more towards satire. If you like caustic sarcasm which simmers slowly to trigger giggle explosions, you will love this site. They take on news and lampoon it for all its worth. From local, national, and international news, to the voices on the street, there's lot of funny stuff flying around on the site. Like me, you might love their 'Infographics'. For instance you might want to know why fewer Americans are marrying these days. Then there are the videos too. You can subscribe to The Onion and choose to receive news tidbits either daily, weekly, or opt for just videos. The subscription box is right at the foot of the webpage. Sickipedia
Sick jokes test the limits of humor. And Sickipedia is an encyclopedia that's full of it. You can even vote it up if it's sick or push it down if it sucks. As contributions flood in, expect to get a great mix of the nasty and the outrageous. Join the Sickipedia community and get a few more perks like editing privileges. Subscribing to Sickipedia needs a bit of rummaging around. The RSS Feed option is there in front of you where you can choose your timeframe and the content. A Google search revealed that there's a Twitter route too. Daily Comedy
Daily Comedy is a well rounded website filled with funny stuff – funny news, fresh jokes, videos, and more. Daily Comedy also features a lot of fresh material from A-list comedians. You can also post your own content and create a page around it. You can get fresh content in your inbox each day by signing up for the 'DailyLOL'. Old Jews Telling Jokes
Slickly created and presented, Old Jews Telling Jokes are several mini-clips of standup comedy routines. The name of the site says all that's to be said about the site. It's almost an old-fashioned way of telling jokes, the way your favorite uncle or grand-parent probably tells them. You will have a neurologist, a dentist, a guy who is 50 and has run in four NY marathons, and more, relating funny anecdotes. Not every day, but the presentation is worth the gaps. Take the RSS feed to receive updates, subscribe to their newsletter, and download the free podcasts from iTunes. Well, the idea is to get a joke-of-the-day first thing in the morning so that you can go out of the door with a smile on your face. These five online joke stores can help to trigger it. For the rest of the day, you can check out a few other laughs from the websites featured in 5 Websites with Things to Make You Smile & Light up Your Day. Which are the ones you would like to add to the list? Remember, laugh lines are better than worry lines. Image Credit: Shutterstock Hey Facebookers, make sure to check out MakeUseOf page on Facebook.

| How To Download & Install Non-Market Google Android Mobile Apps Posted: 15 Oct 2010 10:31 AM PDT
This is not just useful for those of you who have rooted their phones. Software that’s still under construction, such as Mozilla’s Fennec browser, is not yet available in the Android market. Other software might have long disappeared from the marketplace, or you can install an older version of software that’s readily available, giving your phone’s hardware a much-deserved break and allowing you to cling to classic interfaces. 1. Allow Install of Android Apps From Non-Market SourcesMost importantly, we need to tell Android it’s OK to take candy from strangers. Press the Menu button on your phone and open the Settings pane. About halfway down the list, you’ll find an Applications menu. That’s where we need to be.
Make sure you’ve got the first item in the Applications menu – Unknown sources – ticked. This will allow installation of non-Market software.
Of course, taking candy from strangers can be bad for your health. You’ll be met with a disclaimer, warning you about the risks of installing unknown software and asserting that you yourself will take the blame if your phone gets damaged in the process. Likewise, MakeUseOf will not be held responsible for what you install on your phone – but if you remain suspicious of shady sources, you should be alright. 2. Download (& Transfer) The APKAPK files are Android software installations – similar to the ones you’ll get from the Marketplace. You can find interesting software in the xda-developers forum. There are two different ways of getting those installation files onto your phone. We’ll discuss each one. The easiest perhaps is to enter the link in your Android browser and download it directly to your phone. If you’re on a wireless network, this will be the fastest and most convenient option. Be careful of downloading it via your carrier, though. With the wrong data plan, you’re possibly looking at ridiculous charges. When the file has finished downloading, tap it to open.
The second method is to download it with your home computer and transfer it to your Android phone over USB. The major drawback here is that you won’t be able to easily locate and install the file later on; you’ll first need to install a file manager. ASTRO File Manager can be downloaded for free (ad-supported) and is available on the Android Market.
Transfer your installation file to a convenient location so you’ll be able to easily reach it on your phone. Fire up ASTRO File Manager and open the APK. When prompted, choose to open it with the App Manager.
You’ll see a summary and some technical details on the application you’re about to install, including the file version, file size, label and description. If you’re absolutely sure you want to install (read: you found the APK in the trustworthy reaches of the web), tap the button, wait, and you’re done. Tell us how it went, and direct any questions to the comments section below. Image Credit: Shutterstock Do you like MakeUseOf articles? Don’t forget to share our articles with others!

| 3 Most Effective Cell Phone Surveillance Apps to Monitor Your Kids [Android] Posted: 15 Oct 2010 09:30 AM PDT
When you search through the Android market, you’ll discover a number of very useful surveillance apps. There are three in particular that are especially useful for parents that would like to keep a close eye on their kids to ensure their safety.
The following three mobile surveillance apps for the Android will help make sure your kids are safe even when you can’t be with them. Use M-Spy to Listen InHave you ever heard those urban legends that the CIA or NSA can connect to any cellphone in the world and hear what’s going on in the room? Well, with M-Spy from the Android Market, you can do that too. After you download and install M-Spy to your phone, all you have to do is set up a PIN number, and the phone is immediately enabled to act as your own personal audio bug no matter where it is.
This is one of the easiest surveillance apps that you’ll ever use. Once M-Spy is running on the Android phone, all you have to do is leave it wherever it will have good coverage of a room. If you ever want to listen in, all you have to do is send the phone an SMS message with the PIN number and the phone number for it to call. If you text “5555 call 16035551212″, the system will call the Android phone without ringing it, and then it will call the phone number you’ve entered in the message. When you pick up the phone at that number, you’ll hear everything that’s going on at the other end. Here’s the SMS calling my own Android phone without ringing it.
Get it by scanning this QR code with your Android phone’s camera.
Use the Android as an IP WebcamWhile audio is useful, it would be even more useful if you could position your Android phone to monitor your home while your kids are being cared for or home alone. Using the IP Webcam app on the Android Market, you can transform your Android into an IP webcam. Setup is a cinch. All you have to do is run the software!
When the software is running, it immediately starts transmitting. If you want to see your new Android webcam server, just open up a browser and type in the IP address listed at the bottom of the setup page. To access from outside your home network, configure port forwarding on your router.
As you can see, you have lots of options to view your Android webcam. Click any of the options, and you’ll have a clear view to everything your phone can see from wherever you placed it. Here’s my phone spying on my Pug as she sleeps in the living room.
Get it by scanning this QR code with your Android phone’s camera.
Remotely Sense Motion, Movement or SoundOne of the most advanced remote surveillance apps is RL Watcher. This application lets you enable your phone to remotely sense movement, sound or even just the slightest motion of your phone.
Each remote sensor can be individually enabled so that you can receive a notification any time each sensor is tripped. Notifications of any activity can be via SMS, e-mail or by phone. For example, you can set the phone up so that if it moves, it’ll call you at any phone number and you can listen in to whatever is going on where the phone is situated. Did you ban your teen from using their car? Put your Android phone in the car while you’re at work, and it’ll call you if the car starts moving. Put it in an empty room, and it’ll email you when there’s movement in the room. The possibilities are endless.
You can set up the phone to capture screen shots, video or sound whenever it’s triggered by one of the sensors. Here, I’ve set up the phone to sense motion. It sends you an alert when the sensor gets triggered and it’ll even attach the snapshots.
This is probably one of the most flexible and feature-filled surveillance apps that can really help with any of your remote parenting needs. Monitor your new teen driver or make sure your kids aren’t throwing a party while you’re away from home – your remote Android surveillance unit can really set your mind at ease when you’re a parent. Get it by scanning this QR code with your Android phone’s camera.
