Do you like Tattoo? Who invented it?

I got suprise. The basic tattoo machine was invented by Thomas Edison. He made autographic printer, which was intended as an engraving device. Later, Samuel O’Reilly found Edison’s machine could be modified to introduce ink into skin, and patented the tube and needle system, which is still in use today.

If you want to know more about tattoo gun, why don’t you go to Wikipedia.

AJAX translator: very interactive

Well, web-based translator evolution just starts. Actually, the whole web is being evolved by AJAX.

I found this AJAX translator made by Joel parish. You should check it. This program is very interesting as it translates while you are typing. I don’t know the accuracy of this program because I don’t know any languages other than English.

Will your body transfer files?

Wow! Technology is amazing. It’s evolving everyday.

Visit RedTaction.com, you will be amazed that your body will sooner become transmitting medium. I don’t know how it will be, but it’s quite unbelievable to hear that.

RedTacton is a new Human Area Networking technology that uses the surface of the human body as a safe, high speed network transmission path.
- RedTacton uses the minute electric fieldemitted on the surface of the human body. Technically, it is completely distinct from wireless and infrared.
- A transmission path is formed at the moment a part of the human body comes in contact with a RedTacton transceiver. Physically separating ends the contact and thus ends communication.
- Using RedTacton, communication starts when terminals carried by the user or embedded in devices are linked in various combinations according to the user’s natural, physical movements.
- Communication is possible using any body surfaces, such as the hands, fingers, arms, feet, face, legs or torso. RedTacton works through shoes and clothing as well.

Funny MS note says Java can kill you!

It is quite odd that Microsoft add this EULA clause no.8 for Java. No wonder why some people hates M$ too much.

Windows Live Messenger MSN 8 Beta without Invites

Well, well, once again, the same story repeats. Just like Gmail invites, now Windows Live Messenger invites got a way to eBay. Some ask for US$ 9.50 for one invite.

I would love to get an invite to the Windows Live Messenger MSN 8 beta, but I’m not desperate enough to pay my $$ for one. If you have extra invites and want to invite me, I would be really happppppppyy.

Updated: I just got a link to download MSN Messenger 8. Here is the link or here.

After you download it and install, you can’t sign in yet if you don’t have official invite. You need to download a patch to trick the MSN service into thinking you’re running Messenger 7.5 if your account hasn’t been enabled for the beta. Here is the link(site1, site2, site3) for the patch. Use at your own risk, I am not responsible for anything that may happen.

If you install and run these beta, you are exposing yourself to spyware and viruses for a version of Messenger 8 that is not even fully functional. I recommend you to be patient and wait for your beta invite.

Too lazy or no time to tune guitar? No problem

For me, tuning a guitar takes three to five minutes when finished, the final result is not very good.

I wish there is a guitar that would tune itself. Now my dream come true! Transperformance self-tuning guitar is on the way.

These people will love the Transperformance self-tuning guitar which takes less than a second to lock into perfect tune. While most guitars will only ever see standard tuning (EADGBE), a goodly proportion of popular music is played with alternate tunings. Just as each guitar sounds different, musicians will change the tune of a guitar to create the sound they require and that’s one of the reasons you often see a dozen or more guitars on stage at a rock concert. The Transperformance guitar has the additional advantage of being able to change from one custom tuning to another (it holds 240 custom tunings) which can be selected from the face of the guitar or toggled with a foot pedal.

How to use Google as a proxy

Maybe you might have heard it already. But I wrote this for some of you probably have not heard about it. This is my Christmas present.

You can use the google translate feature to visit webpages that are blocked by your company or isp. For example, if your company bans www.somesite.com, you could use this feature to visit that site.

This technique is very simple, use the following address:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.somesite.com

Change somesite.com to the site you desire and it will display.

Tips: Use this to bypass only your isp or company proxy server, if you are banned from somesite.com, you won´t be able to visit that site.
