Managing Android from PC/Mac

Android and iOS can be activated without any PC or Mac. However for some it would be more convenient to manage their Android from PC or Mac. Example for those that don't like to sign up data plan.

SnapPea is written in China. What is not made in Chine nowadays? :P

It can organized your contacts, musics, and pictures on your Android. You can download free apps through SnapPea and SnapPea will install into your Android, no need to sign up any data plan. You can also write text message on your PC and send through the phone. Another attractive point of SnapPea is your can import music from iTunes, no need to manage another list.

Here is the feature video from SnapPea.


One thing I could not understand is the English version and Chinese version setup file as well as website are called different name. Just curious.

English website:
http://www.snappea.com/

Chinese website:
http://www.wandoujia.com/

How To Download Torrent without Torrent Client

Torrent, love it or hate it, from time to time we have to download some files that we need from it because the uploader only uploaded it to torrent only. So what if we are not allow to use Torrent Client, or even we installed it but the firewall blocked it.

If you google "How To Download Torrent without Torrent Client", there are a few options, however not all of them are as well. Example: BitLet.org. However you need to enable Java, which might be harmful.

I found put.iO, a new cloud storage that allow us to download torrent without torrent client. I am trying out with Futurama Season 6 in this screenshot below. And since the downloading is by the server of put.iO, the downloading is so much faster then downloading over my super slow Streamyx broadband.

The files will be downloaded into your put.iO, however only 1GB is given for free account. Another disadvantage is free account only allow one download at a time, and after the file being downloaded you have to wait until the file being shared at least the same size of the file. But at the same time you can download the file to your PC/laptop.

More advantages of put.iO are you can use secure connections and choose the server nearest to your location. The nearest one is at Singapore for me.

Since this a web-based torrent client, you can do it on all OS (Windows, Mac, Linux) as long have a internet connection and web browsers.

Another thing to note that, at time the website might not showing the right space being consumed. I had a few times that I already deleted the files, but it still don't allow me to add more torrent even though the main page is showing more than enough space. I found out that closing the tab (I am using Chrome) and reopen to the main page would help, but not always.

To give it a try, go this link:
http://put.io


Note: downloading movie or TV show might be illegal at your country, watch out!

Update (Nov20, 2012 6pm): another thing to note is put.iO will continue download and upload even though you logged out. So no need to worry about the PC/laptop being turn on whole day and night, save some electricity bill. :-)
