The problem? Google had mistakenly identified its own blog as a spammer’s site and handed it over to another person. more>>

Did you ever thought of converting your text documents to Audio files and stuff them in your iPod/iPhone so that you could listen to them at your leisure. What great fun it would be if you could do so. The good news is that this is now possible, with a software called Text2Aloud. The software is available for free trial download. However, if you would like to use it forever you definitely need to shed off some of your hard earned dollars

In order to setup the program and get on board please follow the steps below:

SETUP - WINDOWS
1. Download and install TextAloud2.
2. Open the TextAloud2 program.
3. Go to File - Open and select the file you want to convert to audio. You can change the file name that appears in the Title field if you choose. Remember where you save this file as you will need to navigate to it later.
4. Click the Speak To File button.
5. Choose where you would like to save the new audio file, and select OK to start the process. Wait for the process to complete.
6. When the process is complete, drag the audio file into your iTunes library.

Also note that the voice might sound very much computer like, however, if you would like to hear a more smooth and clear voice, i believe AbleReader is an alternative that is both Mac and Windows compatible and uses “AT&T Natural Voices” (16kHz audio).

So if you are a nature conservationist, this is the way to go. In the end, who wants to carry the hard paper printed documents home

Picsquare.com: Future of Photo Printing has arrived

Picsquare.com is one of the startup idea’s that really made me say ” WOW”. The idea of the site is pretty simple; you upload pictures directly from the digi cam/ scanned copies from your computer to the website and the site delivers you the hard copies of the same and that too within an acceptable time.

Picsquare.com which was founded by Manish and Kartik, students from IIT Mumbai, offers various solutions from Photo Prints, Photo Mugs, Photo T-Shirts, Photo Greetings to Photo Calendars.

During my short meeting with Manish and Kartik, i found the guys to be extremely passionate and confident about their product. Some of the future ideas they shared with me sound even better. I believe the co-founders have enough charisma to take picsquare to the new orbit.Also with attractive pricing and prompt delivery timelines, i believe picsquare.com has miles to go.

Wat is the difference between JDK and JRE?

A lot of times, we have seen that people ( obviously novices in the field of java) dont know the exact difference between JDK and JRE. Just to make Java get a lil more closer to our readers, we thought of putting up the difference between the two in this writeup.

“JDK” is the Java Development Kit. I.e., JDK is a bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based software. The “JRE” is the Java Runtime Environment. I.e., the JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine which actually executes the Java Programs.Typically, each JDK contains one (or more) JRE’s along with the various development tools like the Java source compilers, bundling and deployment tools, debuggers, development libraries, etc.

Look, so simple it was.. ..

Write a Java Application without a main() method

Here we are.. this time with a small Java tip.. being Java fans..we just cant wait to post on Java. So, decided to start of with something which most of us might not be aware of.
You can write a runnable Java program which does not have main method at all. This can be done using the static block of the class.

The reason this works is that static initialization blocks get executed as soon as the class is loaded, even before the main method is called. During run time JVM will search for the main method after exiting from this block. If it does not find the main method, it throws an exception. To avoid the exception System.exit(0); statement is used which terminates the program at the end of the static block itself.

class MainMethodNot
{ static
{
System.out.println(“This java program has run without the main method”);
System.exit(0);
}
}
