New Google Input App let’s you handwrite messages!

Google has released a new standalone app which can replace your current keyboard and will let you write on the screen instead of typing on it. The new input method works in Android smartphones as well as in Android tablets.
The newly launched Google input method supports more than 82 languages in 20 distinct scripts. The good thing is that it recognizes various writing styles as well as cursive writing. Users can use the input method with styles or they can either use fingers. Another fun feature is the addition of Emojis which users can draw directly.
The handwriting to text feature has been available from early 2012 when it was limited to Google search and worked with an Internet connection. But Google has finally been able to integrate various languages and the new Google Handwriting app can work with or without an Internet connection. The new Google Input Method is now available for download and works only with devices running on Android 4.0.3 or above.

Now you can breathe liquid!

DIVE DEEP The recommended absolute limit for recreational SCUBA divers is just 130 feet, and technical dives using Trimix bottom out at 330. Even then, you’ve got less than five minutes at depth before requiring monitored decompression to avoid getting the bends (the not-scary word for when nitrogen dissolves into your tissue under the massive pressure of the water column, is ejected into the bloodstream during ascent, and you die of a brain embolism). Interestingly though, once your body hits its nitrogen saturation limit, it doesn’t matter if you stay down for an hour or a month; your decompression time effectively maxes out. This technique, known as saturation diving, is how recovery divers working on the K-141 Kursk were able to spend hours 300 feet below sea level (amidst 10 atmospheres of pressure) and how the crew in The Abyss were able to do their jobs. LIQUID AIR Perhaps the best-remembered scene from the 1989 Sci-Fi classic The Abyss is when Ed Harris’ chara...

Don’t like people to know you’ve read their Whatsapp messages? Here’s how to get around it.

The honor of having one of the most misinterpreted features in the world of tech startups goes to Whatsapp – specifically, the check marks that appear next to any message sent. Many initially guessed that two check marks meant that the recipient has already read the message, but that turned out to be incorrect Here’s what those check marks really mean: one tick to show that the message has reached Whatsapp’s servers, another to inform the user that it has reached the recipient’s phone. Now, there’s a third layer of information in the form of blue check marks, indicating that the recipient has indeed read the message. In the interest of privacy, Whatsapp had not so long ago introduced the option to hide the ‘last seen’ notification that informs the other party when that person was last on the messaging platform. The introduction of the blue check marks is strange, given that this brings back the social pressure to reply – what many users consider an intrusion of privacy. ...

Can I determine if my computer has a key logger installed? – YES!!!

Detecting keyloggers is as simple as looking in the right place (which may or may not be simple depending on your viewpoint). The problem is knowing what to look for and where. What follows is a non-exhaustive few things you could do to check for keylogging modules. Firstly, the obvious easy way to build a keylogger is to use DLL Injection which can be achieved a number of ways. Most of these will result in a DLL showing up as mapped to the process’s address space. Take a look at this picture: What is the topmost entry in that list? It’s a pyd , or python extension, file. I’ve been messing with python-implemented COM servers and as a result, the DLL is loaded into Windows Explorer’s address space. DLL Injection of the keylogging variety will load its DLL into all of the target address spaces – can’t capture everything if you don’t. So one thing to look out for would be strange DLLs you cannot attribute to products whose purpose you know. They’ll show up in this list for...
