Michael Jackson's success was beyond translation

To contact us Click HERE
Michael Jackson’s brand of pop knew no borders and needed no translation, linking listeners around the world through the accessible corridors of rhythm, beat and dance. And as reaction to his sudden death began to pour in Friday, its extent underscored how far his influence had spread.

From Sydney to Hong Kong, China to Los Angeles, fans, officials and fellow entertainers spoke of their shock and sadness. His music echoed from cafes and car speakers, and everyone from national leaders on down seemed to weigh in.

President Hugo ChÃ¡vez of Venezuela called the star’s death “lamentable news,” though he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. The former president of South Korea Kim Dae-jung, who had met Mr. Jackson, said: “We lost a hero of the world.”

In Paris, fans held a ceremony in his honor in front of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame Friday night and planned a memorial moonwalk at the Eiffel Tower for Sunday.

Huge crowds gathered in the shadow of Notre-Dame, linking hands and chanting Mr. Jackson’s name, cheering and sometimes breaking into song. Some held flags adorned with images of Mr. Jackson, and others held up signs.

It’s better to go away before I see you going
Before I see you avoiding me without pity
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping

To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...

I have paid for my words without meaning
Caresses and bad names. Which word will kill?
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping

To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...

Google Contacts on a World Map

Create a Map of your Google Contacts

If you have been using Google Contacts (or any other address book*) to store the postal addresses of your friends and colleagues, you can easily create an online Google Map with all these address or even view them inside Google Earth. Here are the steps: →

Make a copy of this Google Sheet in your own Google Docs account.
From the Google Contacts menu in the sheet, choose Initialize and authorize the script (see source code) to access your Google Contacts.
Next choose Generate KML under the same menu and the script will send a KML file to your email account.

Go to your mailbox and download the KML file to the desktop. You can double-click this file to directly open it inside Google Earth. You can click the pin /marker to read the full address and name of the contact.

Alternatively, you can upload the KML file to the web and copy-paste the URL of the KML file into the Google Maps Search box as shown below (see a sample map).

Google Map of your Contacts

Also see: Google Maps Address Lookup

Internally, the Google Apps Script reads the home /work postal addresses of your Google Contacts and then uses the geocoding service** of Google Maps to transform these human-readable address into latitudes and longitude values. These points (or placemarks) are finally put in a KML file that you can open inside Google Earth or Google Maps.

[*] If you aren’t using Google Contacts, you can still use the script. Export the contacts data from your existing address book (like Hotmail or Yahoo Mail) as a CSV file and import the file into Google Contacts.

[**] Google’s Geocoding service allows you make 2,500 requests per IP per day.

The current location of Indian Railways Trains on Google Maps

The Indian Railways has just launched RailRadar, a useful website that shows the current geographical location of any train on a Google Map. →

To get started, you can zoom-in to any location /city on the map to see all the trains which are arriving at the station or have just departed. Or you can use expand the left sidebar to search trains by name, by train number or by the station name.

If you click a particular train, the map will also show the exact route of the train including all the stops and the current location of the train. The train markers highlighted in blue indicate trains that are running on time while the red markers indicate trains that are delayed or behind schedule.

Train Location

The press release says that the train data is refresh every 5 minutes and the displayed location and running status of any trains displayed on the Google will always be delayed by at least 5 minutes.

The site is extremely useful and it will work on your mobile phone as well.

How to Add QR Codes to your Printed Webpages

To contact us Click HERE

When you print any web page, your web browser will automatically add the URL of the site in either the footer or the header area of all the printed pages. This is useful because you will always remember the source website where you printed those pages from. →

The problem is that web page URLs can be long and complex and people are likely to make errors typing them into the browser.

An alternative would be that you create a short URL (using bit.ly or goo.gl) and append it all your printed pages. The other more convenient option is that you add a QR code to the printed copy that will link the printed page to the source web page with a quick scan.

A QR Code in the print copy of a web page

Add a QR Code to Printed Web Pages using CSS

You will be surprised to know how easy it is to add a QR code to any web page but before I share the implementation detail, let’s see a live example.

Open any article page (for example, this one) and press Ctrl+P (or Cmd+P on a Mac) to open the Print Preview dialog. Scroll to the last page and you will find a QR code that, upon scanning, would lead you to the source page. (If the QR Code missing, just open the Print Preview dialog again.)

If you are to implement something similar in your site, just add the following snippet to your website template.

<style type="text/css">
@media print {
       body:after{
            content:url(http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?
                  cht=qr&chs=200x200&choe=UTF-8&chld=H&chl=<<URL>>)
            }
}
</style>

*Replace URL with the actual URL of your web page

We are basically adding a QR Code image after the <body> tag and since the CSS media type is set to “print,” the QR Code will only appear in the printed version of the page. The QR Code is generated dynamically using the Google Charts API and will vary based on the URL.

WordPress – To add QR Code support in WordPress print stylesheets, open the template file of your WordPress (like header.php or even index.php) and copy-paste the following code anywhere inside the <head> tag:

<?php if (is_single()) : ?>
 <style type="text/css">
    @media print {
      body:after { content:url ( 
         http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&choe=UTF-8&chld=H&chl=<?= the_permalink(); ?>)
      }
    }
 </style>
<?php endif; ?>

Blogger – The equivalent code for classic Blogger templates would be something like this. If you are using the new XML based Blogger templates, you probably need to use data:blog.canonicalUrl (for the permalink) with the condition set as <b:if cond=’data:blog.pageType == “item”‘> since we are only displaying QR codes on individual post pages and not the archives.

<ItemPage><Blogger>
<style type="text/css">
    @media print {
      body:after { content:url ( 
         http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=200x200&choe=UTF-8&chld=H&chl=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>)
      }
    }
 </style>
</Blogger></ItemPage>

Download your Google Documents in the Older Office Formats

To contact us Click HERE

Google Docs has recently dropped support for older Office file formats (.doc, .xls and .ppt) in favor of the newer file formats like docx, .xlsx and .pptx. →

You can still import your old .doc documents or .ppt presentations into Google Docs but if you are to export any of these files out of Google Docs, you’ll have to choose the new {doc|ppt|xls}x formats that are natively supported in Office 2007 and later.

Google Docs still supports the old Microsoft Office file formats

Download Google Docs in Old Office Formats

The newer file formats are definitely better but if some of your clients are still running the older versions of Microsoft Office, here’s how you can make your Google Docs documents compatible with their version of Office.

Option 1: Ask them to install the Office Compatibility Pack. This pack will allow users of Office XP and Office 2003 to open and edit files that are saved in the new Office formats.

Option 2: Save the files out of Google Docs as docx and then use any of the online conversion tools (for example, Zamzar) to convert these files back to the old format.

Option 3: Abhishek discovered a better solution. You can email any document, spreadsheet or presentation from Google Docs to yourself as an email attachment and Google will send you that file in the old Office formats (see screenshot).

To email a document from Google Docs, go to File -> Email as Attachment and then choose the appropriate format from the dropdown.

Bonus Tip: You can change the extension of a .docx file to .zip and it can then be viewed inside any web browser without even requiring Microsoft Office or Google Docs.

How to Install Extensions from outside the Chrome Web Store

Google Chrome Extensions

A warning message in Google Chrome v22.0

Google wants your Chrome browser safe and therefore discourages users from installing any web apps and extensions that aren’t available in the official Chrome Web Store. →

If someone tries to add an unapproved extension (CRX file) or a user-script (*.user.js) in Chrome, the browser will throw a yellow warning message as shown in the above screenshot.

There’s however an easy workaround to this problem.

First download the CRX file of any Chrome extension /web-app to your computer. Then click the Settings icon in Chrome (previously a Wrench icon) and go to Tools -> Extensions. Drag and drop the CRX file on this page and Chrome will gladly install the add-on.

Here’s a video demo illustrating all the steps in detail. The same technique can be used to install the unofficial Greasemonkey userscripts in Chrome.

What Happens if you Forget the Yahoo Password

To contact us Click HERE

How do you login to any web service if do not remember the password? The answer is easy. →

You will click the “forgot password” link on the sign-in page, the website will ask you to provide an alternate email address associated with your account and a password reset link will be sent to that address. Simple.

However, if you are using Yahoo Mail, Flickr or any of the other Yahoo services, recovering your account’s password involves a few more steps.

Yahoo will verify your identity before sending the password reset link.

You will be required to provide your date of birth, your country of residence and your postal code and Yahoo will only send the password reset link to your alternate email address if the entered information matches with the data stored in your Yahoo profile.

I created a second email account at Yahoo sometime back for testing but did not use the accurate birth date in my profile. I am therefore having trouble getting into that Yahoo account as I no longer remember the birth date I entered at the time of creating the account and without it, Yahoo won’t send the password reset link to my alternate address.

Do yourself a favor. Go to edit.yahoo.com and make a note of the postal code, date of birth and country that is associated with your Yahoo profile – you may need this information in case you ever forget your Yahoo account’s password like I did.

Bonus Tip: If you are a Gmail user, keep a record of your account creation date as that information will be required in case you ever lose access to your Google Account.

Backup your Files to Amazon Glacier with the help of Dropbox

To contact us Click HERE

Amazon Glacier, if you are new, is an online backup service from Amazon where you can store files by paying as little as 1¢ per GB of storage space per month. Glacier is a recommended option for saving copies of files that are important but not accessed very frequently – like the photo archives on your disk. →

Amazon doesn’t provide a file uploading tool for Glacier but there are several third-party Glacier clients that you may use to easily upload files and folders from the local disk to the Glacier cloud with a easy drag-n-drop interface.

There’s another service in town called IceBox that eliminates the need for installing a separate Glacier client. The service links Amazon Glacier with your Dropbox account and any files that you add to a particular Dropbox folder are automatically uploaded to your Glacier vault.

The Dropbox files are queued for uploading to Amazon Glacier

This is a one-way operation so once the files have been uploaded from Dropbox to Glacier, you can safely delete the copies inside Dropbox without affecting the files that are already inside Glacier. You can also browse the file list on the IceBox website to verify that all your Dropbox files have been successfully added to Glacier.

To get started, go to the AWS dashboard to request your Access Keys for the Amazon Glacier service. Next follow the wizard on the Icebox website to link your Amazon and Dropbox accounts. This will create a new folder in your Dropbox folder and any files that you add to this folder go straight into your Glacier vault.

The service initially had a major security vulnerability – anyone could access your Amazon Keys by simply changing the URL – but the issue has been patched now. Alternatively, you may create a guest user in AWS for IceBox and grant access to only the Vault Archive and none of the other assets in your Amazon cloud.
