How to Disable BaiduYun add-ins on Outlook

Hey, the last tutorial that I wrote was 2 months ago. Time flies huh.

I was trying out BaiduYun, a new web storage service from China. I installed the desktop client because I can sync the files that I found on some China websites that being shared on BaiduYun. However the desktop client is a very busy buddy software, it also installed add-ins to my Outlook. So whenever I open the Outlook, the BaiduYun icon will appear. It ever appear in every single email/message windows that I open on Outlook, very annoying. So how to get rid of it?

The best method is to uninstall BaiduYun desktop client, that will take care of the annoying logo on Outlook, but I will not able to sync the folder between my laptop and BaiduYun.

Another method is to disable the add-ins on Outlook, here is how:
1. On Outlook, go to Tools -> Trust Center -> Add-ins
2. At lower part of the Trust Center, there is a "Manage" section, choose "COM Add-ins" if it is not selected, then click "Go..." button.
3. A "COM Add-ins" windows will pop-up, uncheck "BaiduYun Addin" and then click "OK".
4. Now the "BaiduYun" icon now disappear from the Outlook.

Should applicable to Outlook 2007 and 2012.

Additional note: If you are sure to remove BaiduYun Addin, you can select to remove it, instead of just disable it on Step 3.

p/s: If you wish to try out Baidu, you can sign up here:

Okay, I will get 512M for every successful referral. Btw, BaiduYun gives only 5GB for free account.

iPod Touch 5th Generation Teardown

Since iPod doesn't get a number behind it just like iPhone, or doesn't get a year behind it just like the iPad 2012, therefore it is very difficult to keep track of which is which. Some people did keep track of it, example iFixIt, they know which generation is it. But I just don't care, just pop open the thing already.

Oh, before we start, just some geek stuffs:

• 4-inch (diagonal) widescreen Retina display with Multi-Touch IPS technology

• 5-megapixel iSight camera with LED flash and a ƒ/2.4 aperture + FaceTime 1.2 MP HD camera capable of capturing HD video (720p) up to 30 fps
• New iPod touch loop
• Three-axis gyro + Accelerometer
• 32 GB or 64 GB storage capacity

And more geeky stuffs after the teardown:

• A5 Processor
• Hynix H9TKNNN4KDBRCR 512 MB RAM

Infographic: Password

I have been receiving 2 emails from Twitter within a month, stating that my password might have been compromised and asked me to change it. I have already changed it to very difficult to crack, good quality password. But seems like Twitter got problem nowadays.

Anyway, just to share with you an infographic regarding password.

Here are a few tips:
1. don't use words that can be find in dictionary
2. mix capital and small letters, number and special characters

If you have at least 9 characters, and with 2 rules mentioned above, it will takes more than 44 years to crack your password, meaning it will be very very safe.

Time to change your password eh?
