Earphone as Microphone
Most of us these days have microphones (mike) available for our desktop computers and it is usually integrated by default for most laptops. But what if we do not have a mike readily available when it is needed badly? It is true that all of us are hackers intuitively.

Launch Terminal at your Fingertips

3 comments:
Are you a geeky Linux user who works with the Terminal very often? Then this tip is for you. Sometimes when we use the terminal quite frequently along with the other programs, it is not always convenient to launch the terminal or focus the terminal window always. So, is'nt it good if we have a terminal appear and disappear with just a key press?
Did you guess <ctrl>+<alt>+T  ??? No. It just launches a new terminal window every time we use it. But that is not what we usually want and here is an application that does just what we want.

An Easy Way to Turn Off Monitor on Linux and Other Operating Systems With Just a Click

7 comments:
There are many situations when we need to keep our computer running without using monitor. It usually happens when we are downloading any large file or when we are leaving our computer for a short while. In such a case, most of us leave our computer monitor turned ON even though it is not required until the power saving system automatically turns it off after some time. Monitor consumes a significant amount of power. So, turning it off when not in use will save power.


You might be thinking "why not use the button provided to turn off our monitor?"
Yes, you can do that way but not always. It can cause wear and tear and the button may get damaged sometimes as it has happened to me now (esp if you had an old monitor). Also, this button is not provided for most laptops these days. In this article I will tell you an easy solution to turn Off your monitor on Linux.

No comments:

Internet is a great place to get information that we need, collaborate with colleagues on a work, meet our friends, entertain ourselves and more. With the large assortment of content available on the internet, web browsers have become one of the most-used applications on computers. You can communicate, shop, bank, entertain yourself and even pay taxes online. Business systems are also increasingly being accessed through the web using a browser.

Friends, you must have already come across text to speech conversion* in many applications like Opera web browser, Firefox's text-to-voice addon, Adobe reader, etc. But what most of us do not know is that there most operating systems have an inbuilt support for speech synthesis and speech recognition.
