Badly Stuffed Animals

The Facebook group "Badly Stuffed Animals" who collected photos of stuffed animals (some taxidermy fails) was deleted.
The group's material hangs between sadness and hilarity due to poor work of taxidermy.

Google images reverse search

I noticed it a few days ago, maybe you know already.

Google has finally searching for images based on an image and not text.

Such as TineEye, Google will use a picture to find other similar or identical, but will also serve to begin a general search on an image.

For example, the photo of a statue can give results as other photos of the statue,and various other information.
Of course, thanks to giant Google's database the results are interesting.

In the search page simply click the camera icon, or drag and drop a photo on the search bar.

Interesting...

Apple, Google, they are the same

Old story.

The current companies collect our personal information and they do what they want, sell them, make money on them.
For me is ok if I know it and I can select which informations provide.
After Apple and his "I'm collecting wifi spots for blahblahblah" is the time for Google.

Let me be a bit angry when I can trace with Google, through the MAC address of my wifi router, my home address.
I have no idea how they did it to collect all this data (google cars?), But that does not please me at all.

Considerations to you.

Insert your MAC address : http://www.wartris.com/wifilocate/ and try.
This site reads a public Google database.
You can find your MAC in your router details.

I've tryed:
- Pc network card MAC: nothing
- Smartphone MAC: nothing
- Router ASDL port MAC: nothing
- Router LAN port MAC: nothing
- Router WIFI port MAC:  ... aw, sh*t... my current address

My access point is not for public use, it's crypted and not so powerfull. So, why collecting it?

Google, don't be evil.

Indie games with YoYo

http://www.yoyogames.com


This is a interesting website that collects a bunch of homemade games made with a tool called GameMaker.

Follow this link for the game list: http://www.yoyogames.com/browse

The tool is for beginners and for developers a bit more expert,  there is the possibility to use a scripting language for coding and the support of plugins and DLLs written in other languages. I'm reading that in the next times this tool will support the publishing in other devices and OS (iOs, Android, PSP, Mac, etc...).

There is a huge amount of games...  like:

Expand a short URL

This is a useful website for checking the final destination of a short URL like http://bit.ly/dzndHk.

If you wanna know the true address of this short link you should visit the link or use this website:

http://knowurl.com/

There are a Chrome Extension and a mobile app for this purpose.

My old trick to show where a short url redirects is to open it in a new notepad file.
Notepad> File > Open > insert URL and OK... the result is the HTML source code of the destination page.
