Send files and photos from your mobile to desktop without Bluetooth / Data Cable

Bump, an app normally associated with transferring contact info and photos by physically bumping devices together, is also capable of transferring photos between your Android device or iPhone with your computer. The process is simple, free, and only takes a few minutes to set up

So, now all is you can transfer photos from your Android / iPhone directly to your desktop and that’s without Bluetooth or datacables. 

 

   

Initially bump application was launched with files transferring from phone to phone. Founders and developers take further level over success of an app which can now transfer files from phone to desktop

You can download Android and iPhone app from here

How does Bump work?

There are two parts to Bump: the app running on your device and a smart matching algorithm running

on our servers in the cloud. The app on your phone uses the phone’s sensors to literally “feel” the bump, and it sends that info up to the cloud. The matching algorithm listens to the bumps from phones around the world and pairs up phones that felt the same bump. Then we just route information between the two phones in each pair.

Is Bump secure?

When we built Bump, our number one priority was creating the best possible user experience we could. Security of your personal information is a huge part of that experience. Firstly, you are in control with what is sent via Bump. Secondly all messages sent from the client to our servers are encrypted with TLS, which is the same encryption that banks use.

A pen will not let you make mistakes while writing

Remember days, when we used to write in notebooks with pencils. That time when we make some errors we always used to rubbers make correct them. But nowadays, pencils are left only for painters & architectures because students, teachers, employees and employers are more preferred with pen for writing on the piece of paper. And when it comes to pen for writing, error corrections become harassment for a writer. 

 A start-up has now set out to revolutionize the way we learn to write – with an innovative educational aid  that – yet again – creates a whole new world of possibilities. Techies (Lernstift – Learning pen) made easier way for you to write with pen without making bad spells, grammer and penmanship.

Watch Video

Lernstift combines well-tried, classical writing utensil with state of the art technology that points out grammatical errors or flaws of form and legibility while writing. Next to the obvious advantages for the learner, it thereby gives writing by hand new relevance and appeal in times of iPad & Co.

Currently under development, the Lernstift (German for "learning pen") is powered by Linux and contains €50 to €80 (US$68 to US$109) worth of smartphone electronics in a thermoplastic or aluminum body. It uses motion sensors to trace movements and detect errors. If a mistake is found, the pen vibrates to alert the writer.

The Lernstift pen operates in two modes. In Calligraphy Mode, it warns of mistakes in penmanship, while in Orthography Mode it detects spelling and grammatical errors – vibrating once for the former and twice for the latter. The sensors allow the pen to recognize writing even in the air so it can be used to write text messages without a writing surface. But for the less adventurous, it has a standard ballpoint pen inside.

Fun factor meets learning effect

Lernstift introduces kids to technology while making sure they don't lose the „feel of real life“. That‘s what makes it an ideal e-learning tool. With Lernstift kids can improve their writing abilities in a fun and playful way. As a means of autonomous learning it could even be used in school.

E-Learning, not E-Cheating

Der Lernstift is not at all a cheating pen! After all, it doesn’t give you the correct answer, it merely points your attention to a mistake. It’s like a reliable friend tapping you on the shoulder, saying: "Wait a minute! Something’s not quite right. Think again." Kids will still have to learn orthography and grammar, but that’ll be much faster and much more fun. 

Open for anything new – and social media sharing

Based on an open software platform there will be various Lernstift Apps – including tools to monitor the learning success. There are vast possibilities for developers to get creative. 

Furthermore a Lernstift Community will be launched to give parents and kids a platform to exchange experiences.

Entertainment merged with actual use

Lernstift is a truly relevant startup. After all, it‘s a real, original and tangible product that is truly useful. Next to the error detection feature Lernstift also has great potential for private and business application.

Before Posting or Liking on Facebook, know is it legal - Facebook Laws in India

Nowadays Facebook is the most popular website on the web and there will be hardly any netizen who will be not having Facebook account.

So, while today Facebook becomes face of yours on the internet, you should make yourself aware about laws related to Facebook. Let’s make it short, come to the point and let me ask some questions: 

Have you ever posted a comment which can hurt to anyone? (Especially celebrity, politician, any community etc.)

Have you ever liked or commented on the post where joke made on politicians or celebrities?

Before posting on Facebook, ask yourself one question. If this comment were about my family, or me, would I be offended?

If your answer is yes, DO NOT post.

Only remember “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!”

Let’s be clear with some more questions and answers

Is it legal to ridicule a celebrity or even an ordinary person on Facebook?

NO

Is it legal to ridicule a Government official or Minister on Facebook?

NO

Is it legal to ridicule a religion on Facebook?

NO

Is it legal to call someone an “idiot” on Facebook?

NO

Since it is impossible to prove that a person is actually an “idiot”, calling someone an idiot would amount to defamation and would be punishable under two laws:

1. Defamation

2. Sending offensive electronic messages

Will you believe that…

Facebook posts, messages, comments etc. Even “liking” or “sharing” these posts could get a person into trouble.

Did you know?

1. Even companies, colleges, organizations can be defamed.

2. Sarcastic comments can also amount to defamation

Sending offensive electronic messages

Sending offensive electronic messages is penalized under section 66A of the Information Technology Act. The following types of posts will be covered under this section:

1. Posts that are grossly offensive (e.g. cause anger, displeasure, and resentment)

2. Posts that are menacing or threatening

3. Posts that contain false information sent for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred or ill will.

4. Posts or messages sent for causing annoyance, or inconvenience,

5. Posts or messages sent to deceive or to mislead about the origin of the messages.

I have ordered some stuff from a famous eCommerce website. They have not sent it even after a month but my credit card has been charged for the transaction. Is it legal to post my complaint about this on my Facebook wall?

YES

Remember the following points while making this post:

1. State only facts.
2. Do not make any sarcastic statements.

Some Cases

Two Air India cabin crew members were arrested and jailed for 12 days for posting “derogatory” remarks against the Prime Minister’s Office, the national flag and the Supreme Court, while commenting on a strike by Air India pilots. (India, May 2012).

Vikas Mavhudzi was arrested for“subverting aconstitutional government” when he posted a facebook message in support of the protests in Egypt. (Zimbabwe,April 2011)

Is your Facebook account get hacked? Or if it does, Check out these tips

You’ve probably already heard that Facebook accounts are hacked to gain personal information, but you might not be aware of how easy that just might be for hackers. With hackers increasingly targeting Facebook as a primary source of collecting user information, and corporations using your information to make decisions about your rates? 

 

That was the concern this week for many Facebook users whose accounts were doing things they didn’t ask them to do, such as automatically adding blocked users as friends. Complaints and concerns lit-up Facebook’s Help Center. Facebook said the problem was caused by user error — the contact importer has a “friend all” feature that automatically friends all of the user’s contacts with a Facebook account.

This incident wasn’t caused by a hack or a virus, but a bottleneck in the “friend all” feature that resulted in a slew of users noticing their new friends at once.

But Facebook and its users have been hacked in the past. One hack spread through user-to-user chat. A person would click on a link and the virus would be downloaded. The virus deleted any anti-virus programs on the user’s computer and then sent itself to all of their Facebook friends just like how the user had received it.

Here is some tips on how to prevent being hacked, so check out these security tips:

• Review your security settings and consider enabling login notifications. They’re in the drop-down box under Account on the upper right hand corner of your FB home page.
• Don’t click on strange links, even if they’re from friends, and notify the person if you see something suspicious.
• Don’t click on friend requests from unknown parties.
• If you come across a scam, report it so that it can be taken down.
• Don’t download any applications you aren’t certain about.
• For using Facebook from places like hotels and airports, text “otp” to 32665 for a one-time password to your account.
• Visit Facebook’s security page, http://www.facebook.com/security and read the “Take Action” and “Threats” sections.

Facebook partnered with online security companies McAfee, Symantec and others this past April to create the Antivirus Marketplace. Through these partnerships, it is able to offer users free trials of anti-virus software.

Is your Facebook page running with vulgar & embarrassing feeds/pics? Get ‘Facewash’

Now, there is an application that can help Facebook users to clean up vulgar or embarrassing pages from their profile.

Developers said"You spent the last four years being a college kid," their site explains. "And that's wonderful. But a lot can happen in four years, and the internet never forgets. . . . Wash away all those dirty little jokes and beer talk, those late night snapshots, those forgotten 'likes.'"

The "Facewash" app developed by researchers from Kent State University will search through a user's Facebook activity and content for items that the user may want to hide or delete. in a matter of days, their web app has become a hit. Their site, http://facewa.sh, attracted 135,000 visitors as of Wednesday.

"We realised that there's a lot of content that perhaps someone might not want a future employer to see," researcher Daniel Gur.

Gur created the Facewash over the weekend along his two friends and fellow computer science majors Camden Fullmer, and David Steinberg. The trio built the app in less than two days while at a hackathon at the University of Pennsylvania.

Facewash is still in beta phase so users may encounter minor glitches for some time.

"This is your face on the Internet, and you might need to wash it," Gur said.

How Facewash Works

Facewash application first connects to your Facebook account like any other Facebook app. So in that case, you have to give it permission to look through everything in your account. If you're concerned at all about connecting third-party apps on Facebook, rest assured you can remove the app when you're done with it. 

The tool largely automates the process of finding questionable content, although it doesn't automatically delete or hide it for you, which is good. You ought to be able to decide for yourself on a case-by-case basis after evaluation.

In any event, when you click "start" for the first time, you can sit back and let the app do the work. It will scour your account in search of bad words, which include profanity and many other words that may or may not have a negative connotation depending on context, "suck" being a prime example. 

The app can search both English and Spanish, although not simultaneously. It claims to look through you’re:

• status updates,
• photos (although with limitations, explained below),
• ‘liked’ links,
• ‘liked’ photos,
• photos in which you've been tagged,
• pages, and
• timeline.

Say you're going to a job interview at a company, and you want to be sure your Facebook account doesn't reference that employer or any of its products in a negative light. You can use Facewash to search for any terms of your choosing, such as brand names, employer names, or really anything at all. It displays results the same way, and again, you have to link through to Facebook to actually change the settings to remove the activity.
