Flickr is now 1TB

Yup, 1TB (terabytes), not GB. Unlike box.com or adrive.com which offers the best free 50GB free space, Flickr is now 1TB, that is 20 times of box.com or adrive.com free account. And it is free. Either old or new users, everyone now get 1TB.



I wonder if I can convert Flickr to store other types of file. You know what I mean.

Before Flickr revised the rules, free users can only upload 300MB per month, so it will take like like 278 years to fully use up the 1TB. Luckily now Flickr has unlimited upload of max picture size of 200MB and video up to 1GB.

For my 1M Streamyx broadband package, if I would fully use the line for upload photos only, it will take 180 days to used up the 1TB.
1TB = 1,000GB = 1,000,000MB = 1,000,000,000kB
Max upload speed = 64kB
1000000000kB/64kB = 15625000 seconds = 260,416 minutes = 4340 hours = 180 days


Meaning I will never used up the 1TB. But yahoo already win, because it will attract users back to Flickr.

If you already have yahoo account, just use yahoo account to login.

Jolla Phone

Jolla Phone which is running on Sailfish OS that is based on Meego OS. Meego OS was abandoned by Nokia and Intel years ago, but the develop team didn't give up and continue the development, now it is time for Sailfish OS to take off.



Sailfish OS should be able to run Android apps, but does it support Google Play? I doubt so, so probably have to get the apk files from other sources.

There is another tease video, which hide about split screen:

[free game] FruitPunch

I can't really play RPG or strategic games because I will be hook on the games for endless night.
Therefore nowadays I choose casual games where I can finish the game within few minutes just to kick out some boredom.

FruitPunch is the latest game that I am playing now. It is something like tetris, bejewel and with gravity. See the demo video:



Get it from Play Store.

You can help the developer to improve the game at XDA forum:

Samsung Galaxy S 4 Teardown

Samsung Galaxy S4 teardwon was being posted last month based on a teardown done by a Chinese website:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2013/03/samsung-galaxy-s-4-teardown.html
This teardown is not as complete as by iFixIt. So here goes the Samsung Galaxy S4 Teardown by iFixIt:

Samsung Galaxy S4 has scored 8/10 by iFixIt because it has removable battery and easy to open. Even though there are reviews or comparison reviews between S4 and HTC One, and mostly praised the HTC One of the build quality, but I hate it when a product being designed such that it cannot be repair at all. So if you ask me which one to choose, I still pick S4 even though of the plastic body. Metal or plastic body, eventually most users will put on another protective plastic or silicon cover, so such a waste with un-repairable design of HTC One.

As usual, if you like to view it on iFixIt website, here is the link:

How Secure is Your Password?

What are the password that mostly people would use?
Here is a infographic to show you:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2012/10/infographic-password.html

Anyway, how do we check for the password that we use is safe enough?

I used this website:
http://howsecureismypassword.net/

In my opinion, as long as the password need 1 years plus to crack, it should be good enough. To be more safe, just make sure you always change the password every few months.

But since changing password every few months need a lot of effort especially everyone has more than 10 accounts like emails, banking, works, blogs, etc etc, I use keepass to keep all my password.

Keepass is available on Android, iOS, PC, Windows, Linux, and many more platform.

How to determine Quality of Android Apps

For those that would prefer not to be too risky with Android Apps, this post is for you.

Even though I subscribed to news from XDA, there are a lot more apps that being posted at many more forum. I would like to try them out, but would not like to mess up with my SGS2.

Usually I would like to try new apps on my SGS2, however I have a set of rules to determine should I try the apps or not.

1. If you are getting an apps from other forums, check on Google Play first if there is free version available. Google Play is the trusted source of apps or apk. There are trusted forums, but we cannot confirm all the posted apk are safe.

2. Second point for consideration is to look at "Average rating". Unless I am very interested with the apps, I will just skip anything that is less than 4.0 rating.

3. The third one to look at is "User Reviews". There are reasons why user would give a 1 star or 2 star.

4. The forth one that always make or break is how many percent of users gave 1 star out of total users that gave review. Example for this apps, there is about 19.9% users gave 1 star! This is one of the apps we should avoid!


I have listed out the steps for searching quality Android apps, hope that you can have a reference to find your favourite apps. :-)

HTC One Teardown

HTC always make good smartphones, however some blamed the marketing department for not doing the job. I am agree to certain extent. For example, HTC launched HTC One X, One X+, One VX, One S, One V way way before this "HTC One". When I saw the news of the launch, I am sure I have this pass through my mind for 0.0001 second, which is "WTF?".
Apple have iPhone, iPhone 2, iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 5.
Samsung have Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S2, Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4.
You see what I mean? The brand name of HTC One is like a step back which is a sad thing, because it supposedly do or die for HTC.

Anyway, enough for blah blah blah. iFixIt has given 1/10 for HTC One, that is the first time iFixIt gave 1/10 for smartphone, which mean you can never repair a HTC One.

BlackBerry Z10 Teardown

BlackBerry Z10 is the flagship device that BlackBerry hope to get gain back some SmartPhone market which it is losing quickly to Samsung and Apple. Will it able to do it? Time will tell. Before this, lets look at what is inside of BlackBerry Z10. iFixIt gave 8/10 for Z10 of repairability, which is quite good, meaning it is easy to be fix.

Here we go:


As usual the link to iFixIt website as below:
BlackBerry Z10 Teardown


Actually I was convinced that this Z10 could be my next device after seeing this video:
http://outdatedpenanguncle.blogspot.com/2013/01/blackberry-z10-hands-on.html
Too bad, it is still very expensive (to me). BlackBerry need to improve on the apps as well.

They Know What You Watching

We might have watched some crappy youtube video which was recommended by a friend, or a youtube link on Facebook, or recommended by youtube, or just a random video showed by youtube. We might have thought that no body would know about it.

WRONG!

As long as you are login to google account on any of the browser and whatever youtube video that you watched is being recorded in the history of your youtube account.

What's wrong with it? No body going to check the history, you might thought.

WRONG!

What if you borrow your computer or laptop to your family or friends or your children?
What if your friend need to use your Android or iPhone or WP or BB or whatever to check their emails or twitter or something else.
By chance they might have open up an youtube video that their friends shared with them and then they click on your youtube history.

Anyway, I might have sound too paranoid, most of the people watched what most of the people watch on youtube. So life goes on. Or is it?

Your choice after all.

Last week one of my external harddisk crashed, all the youtube video that I downloaded for my kids are gone. I have tried recuva and testdisk, I even run testdisk on Linux (boot from USB), too bad unable to fix it. I managed to recover some of them using photorec, but problem with photorec is it does not copy the files into the same file name, they are just some numbers, which was very frustrated.

So I go back to youtube history, look for the videos that I watched, and download again the videos that my kids like to watch, include PSY Oppa Gangnam Style. They still like it, what can you do?

To check your youtube history:
  1. Open the youtube if you haven't open it
  2. Click on your username, on top right side. A list of boxes show up, such as favorites, Watch Later, Likes, History, and your channels.
  3. Click on History and you can find all videos that you watched and you might find some of them that you think you never watch, but you did. HAHAHA.
  4. There is an option to delete all of the history or pick some of them and remove them.

Summary, it is very easy to find out what you have watched on youtube. Unless you always use Incognito on Chrome or InPrivate on IE8, or some other private mode on other browsers which is very unlikely.

FireFox OS on Sony Xperia E

Watch the demo video of FireFox OS on Sony Xperia E. Why on a slower Xperia you might ask? Because FireFox OS supposedly targeting lower end smartphone. So lets hope that FireFox OS developers would at least release ROM for most of the lower end smartphone phone, including Samsung Galaxy W which my wife is using nowadays. This SGW is getting slower with the stock gingerbread ROM and stock Touchwiz. :(

[free] Lightning Launcher

Ever since I got my own SGS2, I have been using the stock ROM and stock launcher. Even though it is ICS, however the stock TouchWiz made by Samsung become super boring after few weeks of usage.

Therefore I started to look for different type of launchers. If you are fans of launchers, you should be familiar with apex launcher, nova launcher, and ADW launchers. By chance, I came across Light Launcher.

With less than 200kB, this should be the lightest launcher.


What I like about Lightning Launcher:
  • simple
  • very smooth
  • very fast
  • very light
  • very customizable
  • support gesture for some actions
  • can backup settings
  • FREE!
What I think Lightning Launcher could be better:
  • no support for icon packs just like apex/nova/adw [gonna missed out a lot of fun!]
  • too customizable that I was lost [I am Penang Uncle, okay?]
  • home and apps drawer share the same wallpapers [can't have one for each]

Get Lighting Launcher at Google Play

Update: If you want see some demo, here is a youtube video:

How To Download Torrent with Chrome

Not too long ago, I posted a post on how to download torrent without torrent client, just using put.IO:
How to download torrent without torrent client

put.IO however is limited to 1GB of disk space and 1GB of download per day, for free account:
Limitation of Put.IO

If we have some files that is bigger than 1GB, then we are unable to download them. Luckily now there is another alternative, which is download torrent with Chrome.

No, I am not talking about direct download, which the words "direct download" always appear in torrent sites, but it usually takes you to some malicious or dangerous or NSFW sites.


BitTorrent Surf is a Chrome extensions that acts as a torrent client.

To install BitTorrent Surf, you need to have Chrome installed on your system. I didn't try on Chrome of MacOS or Linux, but I think it should works as well.
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ibpbofogepkkeoockhkfcgngjkimndlp

After you install it, you should able to see BitTorrent Surf icon on right of address bar just like other extensions' icon.

Click on the BitTorrent Surf icon, will bring up a small windows like this:

Key in for files that you want to search for. Example here is Toy Story 2. By hovering the mouse over the icon, name, and bars, it will show you the address that actually has the torrent, how big is the file (in whole package, it didn't show if there is more than one file), and how many sharing.
Click on the arrow down icon will start the downloading, and it will change to a tick icon.

If you don't like the default search setting, you can add sites. The default search are using either google, yahoo, or bing. As you can see here, I added 3 more sites, eh-hem, eh-hem and eh-hem. And you can turn on or off each of them to fine tune the search.

The icon in middle of icons are just notification.

As for streaming function, I didn't try it. Somemore it says stream music library. Probably some new apps the developer trying to sell.

During the installation of the Chrome extension, another program also will be install on your system, which is Torque. So I might have to say it might not works for MacOS and Linux. You will have to try first if you on these system/OS.

Anyway, torque.exe is the one responsible do the P2P works. If you kill it, BitTorrent Surf will stop working.

After the download complete, it should have a button on the same line of the download that you can open the folder that contains the files.

Since BitTorrent Surf is still in alpha, do expected some flaw/bug/error. There was some moment that I cannot add more than one download, but the problem goes away after a while. I didn't reboot or anything.

Okay, it to install it, make sure you are on Chrome and click on this link:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ibpbofogepkkeoockhkfcgngjkimndlp

Note1: It is might be completely illegal to P2P movie/songs/files in your country.

Note2: Do not enable this on your work computer/laptop. Your boss going to find out! You can disable the extension on Chrome (setting -> Tools -> Extensions) and then kill torque.exe manually. I wrote a batch file to kill torque.exe and others processes that I lazy to close individually.

Note3: I noticed that emule is slowed down (until zero) whenever I switch on BitTorrent Surf. It might be co-incident, but I suspect both processes are competing with the ports. I shall continue monitor and update this post if I find anything.
