Gogle Labs introduces gXtortion (beta)

Just spotted the announcement of an interesting new service from Gogle labs:

Introducing gXtortion (beta) from Gogle labs.

gXtortion is the world's first on-line guarantee of privacy service. Imagine Mr Harry Pintlewaithe of 11 Rosegarden cottages (HarryPint@goglemail.com) if you could make a single monthly payment of $125 for gXtotrion home (beta) to ensure that your private data would not be revealed to third parties such as Mrs Brenda Pintlewaithe (BrendPint@Goglemail.com) also of 11 Rosegarden cottages.

This nominal monthly fee would guarantee the privacy of data such as
1. The fact that you 11.5% of your internet searches include the words "farmyard animal porn" 
2. The fact that you spent 2 hours and 25 minutes on Friday, 25th May in very close proximity to a certain Ms. Ethel Goodbodie (EasyEthel69@goglemail.com) aged 21

For an additional $125 a month you can upgrade to gXtortion Home and Social (beta). In addition to ensuring your privacy at home a gXtortion Home and Social (beta) subscription will protect your privacy among friends and social contacts. You can rest assured, for example,  that your friends and colleagues in Knob's End Rugby Football Club of which you have been a member for  11 years 2 months and 3 days  will definitely not find out that you are subscribed to eight well known embroidery blogs.

Power users can opt for gXtortion pro (beta). An all in subscription of only $500 per month provides all of the benefits listed above and ensures that your boss  Mr Frederic Applesop (fsop@goglemail.com) of Hinge and Bracket Inc will not find out that your most commonly visited web site is  findmeabetterjob.com nor that your impressive score of 33,564,911 in the online game Goglefarm was obtained entirely during working hours.

My First Gaming Mouse: Logitech G300

I bought a gaming mouse yesterday a Logitech G300, here my initial thoughts. What is a gaming mouse?  There are a wide variety of devices available classified as gaming mice but a few features  seem common: 1. Wired rather than wireless: Although some high end models are wireless wired connections are just better and faster than wireless so most gaming mice stick with wired. As a bonus wired mice don't need batteries so the mouse is lighter.  2. High response rate: 1 to 2ms response rate so the mouse immediately responds to input.  2. High DPI. Gaming mice invariable boast high DPI numbers from 2,000 DPI upwards. This makes the device very responsive to the smallest movements.   3. Adjustable DPI . High DPI improves responsiveness but reduces precision so gaming mice generally allow you to adjust the DPI down for precise work such as pulling off headshots in sniper mode. Generally the mouse allows dpi to be changed on the fly by pressing a button.  4. Extr

Android Tip 3: Sharing a Folder between multiple users of an Android device

Android has allowed multiple user logins for quite a while now. This is can be very useful for tablets which are shared by family members. Normally Android erects strict Chinese walls between users preventing them from using each others apps and viewing each others files. This is a useful security feature and ensures your kids don't mess up your work spreadsheets when screwing around on the tablet and should also prevent them from buying €1,000 worth of Clash of Candy coins on your account. Sometimes however you really do want to share stuff with other users and this can prove surprisingly difficult. For example on a recent holiday I realised that I wanted to share a folder full of travel documents with my wife. Here are some ways to achieve this. 1. If you have guaranteed internet access  then you can create a shared folder on either Dropbox or Google drive. Either of these has the great advantage of being able to access the files on any device and the great disadvantage of bein

Portal 2 two screen coop on one PC.

I mentioned before that I intended to try Portal 2 in "unofficial split screen co-op mode. Well split screen on a small computer monitor is a recipe for a headache especially when the game defies gravity as much as portal. However a minor bit of extra fiddling allowed us to drive two seperate screens from one PC. The Steam forums describes a complicated method of doing this that I couldn't get working so this simpler method which worked for me might be of use to someone. 1. First I followed the instructions in this post to get split screen multi-player working: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1847904 A minor issue not mentioned is that you need to enable the console from the keyboard/mouse options menu I am using keyboard and one wired Xbox360 controller as suggested. Getting the controller to switch to channel 2 was tricky at first but as Chameleon8 mentions plugging it out and in again during loading works. The trick for me was to do the plug / p
