[Dan Ros] sent in his hack of a twitter talking Big Mouth Billy Bass. Originally he simply had an mbed micrcontroller and an SD card with some wav files allowing Billy to say classic quotes. Wanting to go further however, they used the mbed’s HTTPClient library to grab Twitter updates, and then have Billy say them out loud! Check out some other cool projects the mbed team has in the cookbook.
But wait, whats an mbed? We didn’t have a clue either!
Some researched reveals it is a powerful new microcontroller and prototyping board. With some features such as…

Facebook Lets Users Change Their Username
When Facebook first released the username tool a few weeks ago, they said that you better like the username that you select because you’ll never be able to change it. Now Facebook is modifying that policy to allow users to “change their username once”. It’s pretty easy to switch your username. All you need to do is visit your account settings page and click on “Change” next to the “Username” setting. Facebook will then let you know if the new username you’d like is available.
So why is Facebook letting users change their username now? Facebook hasn’t made an official…

Facebook Lets Users Modify Existing Ads
One of the most needed features for Facebook Ads is now finally available as of this weekend: you can edit existing advertisements. According to Facebook, “you can now edit your ad’s text, image, and targeting” from the Ads Manager. Modifications to your advertisements will temporarily pause them until the changes have been approved by the ads team. I’m honestly amazed that it has taken this long but Facebook has been making a number of upgrades over the past few weeks so it’s not surprising to see these improvements now.
Facebook has also made some subtle changes to their ads reporting…

C# string.Empty vs “”
As we know we have two ways to set a variable value to an empty string.
We can just set it to empty quotes “” or set it to string.Empty, but what is the difference and is there one at all ?

public static readonly String Empty = “”;
The above line can tell us that string.Empty is not a constant as we would like to believe but a readonly field.
The question is why, why static readonly and not a constant. The answer is in…

Right-click
Lets say you have a bout 4-5 very useful applications which you use always. By placing them all on the first level menu will eventually crowd your start menu. Now why not utilize the right-click option instead? The right-click option gives you the ability to Open, Explore and Find. If you can add a shortcut to your application to that menu, it would be great. To do this, crank up your registry editor and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell. Right-click on Shell and create a new key. Type in an appropriate name for the key. On the right pane, double-click on the…

Do surveys, email reading, pay per click websites etc., really work?
We have seen there are many ways of making money as it is believed, but do all programs pay you?Definitely not all.Even if they pay, a genuine program pays very less but promptly. But mostly, when you google it out, you will see only those scam sites, which promise high earning, some unbelievable amounts. It is because, they promote their websites in a great manner, so as they are indexed in first pages of all search engines.But this does’nt mean that they are genuine. try googling out with keyword “Scam” or “review”. Read what other say about them, then give…
