Google takes over the world!

Disclaimer: This is a joke :P

You know the book of Revelation talks about a great (presumably evil) leader taking over the entire world? Some people think it is Osama. Some think it is George Bush. Some, European Union. Some, a supercomputer with highest AI. Some, Bill Gates.

But I think it's gonna be... Google!

Once upon a time, Microsoft Windows was the only operating system in a home computer, and Bill Gates was the ruler of the computer world. Today, many are fighting back his dictatorship.

But one freedom fighter is going beyond the limits. Once he was merely a spider, quietly crawling the web and eating poor fly(er)s caught in it. Now he is doing much more than just crawling.

He took over the world, virtually: Google Earth
He took over your favorite browser: Google Toolbar
He took over your alarm clock and your newspaper boy: Google Alerts
He replaced your friend who knows each and every spot and all directions in your place: Google Maps
He took over your mouth: Google Talk
He took over your mouth, once again: Blogger
He took over the chemicals (with which he was able to take over everything else): Labs
He took over your address: GMail
He took over your computer: Pack
He took over your Internet connection: Web accelerator
He's the professor you're a student of, lifelong: Scholar
He's watching what you gossip!: Google Groups
He's not your average language tutor: Translate
He's watching your photos, so better take nice ones: Picasa
He's not stopping: More Google Products

Somebody stop him!!!

Disable auto save in JetBrains IDE software (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, PhpStorm)

JetBrains provides the following IDE software: IntelliJ IDEA PhpStorm PyCharm RubyMine WebStorm AppCode CLion Google also provides Android Studio which is powered by the IntelliJ platform. If you come from a different IDE such as Eclipse, you will be unpleasantly surprised to find that JetBrains-branded IDEs automatically save everything the moment you look away. The proponents argue that as you work on your project, you should not have to worry about saving files. But to others, this auto-save behavior which is enabled by default is a curse that catches them by surprise, and a shocking departure from the workflow they are very much used to. You can change the behavior by altering some settings.

Make Samsung DVD-C350 region-free

Update 2: An anonymous commentator has shown me a way to make Region 1 players (such as DVD-H1080R) region-free by first converting it to Region 3, then applying my region-free hack below. For details, click here or look for a comment by an Anonymous user dated 18 April 2011. Update: The instructions in the original post below did not make the DVD player region-free. Instead it only locked it to region 1. Many thanks to Anonymous who posted the first comment on this post, I now have alternate instructions. Note: If you have edited the numbers menu (see original post) , I suggest you return it to the original settings you had backed up. A modified numbers menu may prevent the instructions below from working properly.

Group, Ungroup and Regroup disabled in Word

I was editing a Microsoft Word document which had a collection of shapes and text boxes grouped together. I wanted to modify some of the shapes, and therefore I had to ungroup them. But when I right-click the group and open the Group menu, all three options namely Group, Ungroup and Regroup are completely disabled or grayed out. I couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. This group of objects is perfectly ungroupable, and I can even select objects within the group. However, Microsoft Word 2007 is not letting me ungroup it. I searched the Internet for a solution, but did not find anything very useful. The closest I came across is this statement: “The type of Text Wrapping doesn't make any difference as long as it isn't In Line with Text.” ( Link here ) Anyway, I changed the text wrapping of the group of objects from ‘In line with Text’ to ‘Tight’ and viola! I could now ungroup it and edit it. The document got a bit messed up when I did so, but after I ungrouped, edited and regro...
