MacGyver Wannabe (Conclusion)

A week ago, I wrote a post regarding my MacGyver wannabe act.
Wondering what happened?

Opera 9 Browser Review

Shockw@ve used to accuse me of Opera fanboyism. Admitly though, I’ve always loved Opera Browser, since moving over from IE/Netscape, preferring it to Firefox despite the latter’s popularity. Aptly so, I guess I’d be taking Shockw@ve’s advice on writing a review for it. Long overdue but it will suffice to introduce people who aren’t on [...]

Feeling sinful while using non-legal copy of software? Reluctant to pay for expensive license fee? While copyright is meant to be respected, not everyone (especially students) can afford buying expensive software.
But don’t worry, there’s always freeware alternative for you (err…at least for non-commercial use). I’m going to list out several categories here, and in each [...]

Firefox 2 built-in dictionary

You probably would’ve noticed the dotted underlined red lines under misspelt words which are typed into text boxes/forms/fields. To me, it’s a rather welcomed feature since I use web applications and services quite a fair bit (I don’t misspell a lot, but automated checking is a bonus I guess ;)), but by default, the bundled [...]

Online Security Tips

With the widespread of Internet access and online monetary transaction (for example, online banking, online shopping etc.) has become increasingly common and important, security definitely is a no-joking matter. Nobody wants to put their hard-earned money in danger while committing online transaction, and the paranoid among Netizens is understandable.
Therefore, I’m here to write some common [...]

MacGyver Wannabe (Part I)

MacGyver, the guy who could disarm a nucler warhead with 3 paper clips, some dentist floss, and a broken screwdriver; all while hacking into your wifi connection.
Ok…I’m not sure if he actually did that in the TV series, but I’m certain he has picked a couple of locks before. That is what I am about [...]

SE K800i mini-review

This is going to be my first mini-review (when I say “mini-review”, it’s really just a simple write-up). Anyway, I’ll try to be unbiased as possible to maintain the credibility of this article.
Yeah, it’s about the gadget that I’ve been using since last month, Sony Ericsson K800i. Yes, the previous hyperlink obviously isn’t just for [...]

My Recommended Firefox Extensions

Many people said Firefox is not as good as Opera and/or Maxthon because it has less functions; they claimed, goodies like mouse gesture and super drag-and-go should be included by default in Firefox, instead of relying third party developers to deliver them through the form of extension.
IMO, Firefox is on the right track. I’d anytime [...]

Eliminating document viewing troubles

If you have used word processing software such as Microsoft Word long enough, you would probably know by now that all the fancy formatting and styling you have for your document on your computer may look totally horrendous on another machine, especially when viewed with other ‘compatible’ word processing software such as Open Office’s Writer [...]

We all have our must-have softwares and we at SphereLabs love our free softwares. One thing about free softwares on the net is the endless supply of updated versions. Now no one likes to check sites, download, launch and click through the installation wizard applications-after-application, version-after-versions. No one. Thus the birth of an innovative [...]
