Since the control of the fire by early humans, it has been with us for around 125,000 years, witnessing the rise and the fall of human civilizations.

It’s here. It’s inevitable. It’s called Google Panda, the latest Google’s search algorithm which aims to promote the high quality content site by dooming the rank of low quality content sites. Since its release and updates, many sites have been shown to be terribly affected by the algorithm, but the worst rumor here is, they can do almost nothing to recover the ranking and traffic.

Sync your Home Directory with Dropbox

It’s likely that all of us use Dropbox to some extent. The default installation will create a ~/Dropbox directory; however, we can also use “Selective Sync” to define which folders should be watched.

Now, we could sync our entire home directory, as exemplified in the image above. There are still potential concerns with this method though:

1 – Space ain’t free, yo!

The basic free Dropbox plan offers 2GB of space – in other words, not very much. If you intend to sync your entire Home directory, you’ll need to commit to either the 50GB or 100GB plans, which will run you $120 or $240 a year, respectively. Yikes! Even worse, if you’re like me, you’ll find that even 100GB isn’t enough.

2 – Endless Syncage

In a digital camera, the place of the film is taken by a small chip called a CCD. CCD reacts to the light just as film does. CCD converts the light into a digital electronic form, instead of storing the image chemically which can be stored in a computer.

Computer programs can be used to sort digital images into an album on a personal computer (PC). Certain printers can directly be linked to the digital camera for making prints. Once this versatile piece of equipment … Read More »
