Google Mistakes Own Blog for Spam, Deletes it

Readers of Google Inc.’s Custom Search Blog were handed a bit of a surprise Tuesday when the Web site was temporarily removed from the blogosphere and hijacked by someone unaffiliated with the company.

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.
