When I was browsing through the interwebs, I just found this
Cool video right? Ultra Ever Dry is a amazing new product which can make any surface superhydrophobic ( repels water ) and Oleophobic ( well you probably heard this one, most new smartphone screens are oleophobic ).
This is a nano tech, outer coating which you can spray on almost any surface as they say on the above ad, Best thing is its cheap and commercially available for us to buy.( here and here ) Well but this is a advertisement, And they claims that Abrasion can effect its durability and its probably because this is just a spray coat and time will make it wear out.
This probably opens up big opportunities such as spraying this on windows of your car etc. But this is just a start and its exciting to see it is available for public consumption.
PlayStation 4 rumors are getting hot everyday as Sony announced that they got something new to share with us on February 20th. We arent even sure if they are talking about a new PlayStation or it might be a launch of new Dualshock controller. Sony’s CEO Kaz Hirai once told that Sony will release the next PlayStation after Microsoft announce the new Xbox.
“Why go first when your competitors can look at your specifications and come up with something better? – Kaz told the Times”
So to fulfill this statement Sony might not even announce the new PlayStation until Microsoft announces their new Xbox. So this whole story will be really interesting to follow up.
Blackberry has unveiled its newest Blackberry 10 platform and two all new phones namely the Blackberry Z10 and Blackberry Q10. This is the blackberry’s answer to the growing Android and iPhone market with total revamp from top to bottom. While Blackberry Q10 being the BB Bold like phone, the Blackberry Z10 gives you a nice stylish form factor. I personally love this white Z10 model because of its combination of white and black bezel.
If you got a shiny new KVM VPS or if you are experimenting VNC on your Android mobile phone you definitely need a good VNC client application to connect to the VNC server. There are several VNC client apps for Ubuntu and linux but most of those isn’t much newbie friendly and got boatload of functions which some users might never understand.
gtkvncviewer is a great free application which you can find on Ubuntu software center for the exact purpose. On first glance at application center you might be disappointed because it only got 9 ratings and 3 stars out of five. But trust me I have been using this daily and its excellent and simple.
Search Ubuntu Applicaton Center for “gtkvnc” to download this nice piece of software.

LxAdmin Kloxo web hosting panel used to be the go-to free control panel among the community years ago. Now its more than 3 years since I published my guide on how you can install the kloxo control panel on your server. On those days kloxo was really popular because of its simple but yet premium looking interface and there wasn’t any big problems at all. And kloxo was the first control panel to feature both Apache and lighttpd and we were able to switch between the 2 programs with just a single mouse click. Those days I have even started a small proxy hosting venture and I have used the kloxo control panel not just because I wanted to take costs down, but it was a fine control panel and no one ever complained about it. And also I have hosted one of my biggest proxy sites on a small VPS running kloxo and I had no problems on it pushing 200GB traffic daily. But time made me busy with exams and I had to migrate to a shared hosting service and sell my hosting venture. And then I have moved to command line and cpanel for business production servers
After the original developer has died ( he hung himself because of depression after hackers exploited his product HyperVM software casuing thousands of VPS servers running on the platform to be wiped out ) Kloxo and HyperVM was abandoned for a while but later project has started again with new developers . I have covered that news on my blog. Again I started to recommend the kloxo control panel again for anyone who asked me about a free control panel and even wrote guides for it. But the interest about kloxo slowly faded away and kloxo failed to make a buzz thereafter.
But now I have decided to take a look again to see what has been changed and I was simply sad after seeing project is now almost abandoned state.
No we aren’t talking about burning your headphones like shown above. Instead we are talking about Burn in which is about new earphones or headphones getting better after you listen to music for about a day or two. Also I’m not gonna talk about what is burn in, you can find nice FAQ over at Head-fi .
So lets get in to the topic, Burn in effect is considered as a myth by many people, I was one them too until I got my own high end earbuds. I have to accept that there is certainly an improvement happens when you listen music for few days. I discovered it with my Altec lansing backbeat 903 bluetooth stereo headset about 3 years ago. It sounded tinny and at first I blamed myself for the reason I bought it. But sound begun to improve from time and I was happy at last.
Same happened with my JVC XtremeXplosives , Meelectronics M6P earbuds. When I unboxed those and listened for the first time the sound was not great but after about 2 days of use it surely changed and delivered the best quality experience. So I certainly trust that, the burn in effect is surely there.
