Mac OS X has a built-in ability to capture screenshots using simple keyboard commands, with shots saved to the Desktop as “Picture 1, 2, 3, etc.” This feature can be exceptionally useful for generating documents, or sending system configurations to friends and colleagues. Although most users are aware of the basic functionality of the screen capture feature, there are some hidden features that can really enhance the usability of screenshots.
Using “Screen Capture” Here is a list of the known features of “Screen Capture” (using key commands to take screen shots):
“shift-command-3″ — The basic screenshot, will take an image of the full screen.
“shift-command-4″ — The “selection” mode, will take a shot of the area outlined by dragging the cursor.
“shift-command-4″ then tapping “Space” — The “Window” mode, will take a shot of the highlighted window.
“shift-command-4″ dragging, then holding “space” — Drag mode, will allow the current sized box to be relocated.
“shift-command-4″ then “options” — The “center” mode, will resize the box focusing on the center.
“shift-command-4″ then “shift” — The “axis” lock, will resize while locking the movement to one axis, determined by initial mouse movement.
Pressing “escape” before releasing the mouse in any mode will cancel the screenshot.
Holding “control” in any mode (ie: “control-shift-command-3″) will output the results to the clipboard instead of to a file, allowing the contents to immediately be pasted into documents.

Garmin is a very popular brand among the GPS user community. The “W” version of the Nuvi 205 stands for “Widescreen”. This is very useful when it comes to navigation as the screen is larger and glancing it would be easier on the eye as well.
There are already lots of review available on the internet like here, here and here. What I have done is a video review whereby I did a routing simulation somewhere near Jalan Conlay to KLCC.
We are doing a stock clearance to clear out some of the older version of Apple iPod, PDA and PDA Phones accessories. All of the items are selling way way below costing and it is the best time to grab that casing or pouch for your iPod or PDA. Sometimes it is like getting a new coat of paint for that old car… A new shining metal case might just make you fall in love with your iPod all over again!

Not too long ago, Google launched yet another FREE service; Google Sync. If you know what is Microsoft Exchange, then Google Sync is a scaled-down free version of that.
We use Google Apps for our email hosting, so basically this is the best news for 2009! Before, I could only synchronize email using Google Mail’s IMAP service. But, I now can sync my contacts and appointments “over the air” just like Microsoft Exchange also. All I need is to first enable the service in the “Dashboard” by clicking on the “Mobile” Link.
This is a great tool for SME or small business owners. Something which had to pay premium for (Microsoft Exchange and Blackberry) is now offered free.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is certainly not a new technology. It exist since WWII for war purposes and today is found in airline, shipping, trucking and now in normal home vehicle, handphone and PDA. Will not go explaining what is GPS since I have already done this before.

Clicking on “Destination” icon shows the list of search options like Home, Office, Favorites, History, Roads, POI and Coordinate. The most common icon you will probably use is the “Road” icon.
Papago Z820 - Destination
Papago uses a ‘realtime’ search function whereby it will hide the alphabet or number not found in the database. Example, if you search for Jalan PJU 3/27, by the time you hit the letter “J” the only letter left for you to type is “U”. Get the idea?

Navigation
So, what is so different between this Papago! Z-820 with all the other GPS units out there like Garmin, Altina, K-One and Holux currently sold in Malaysia?
The most significant and refreshing difference is the 3D feature. Other GPS model usually also boost about their 3D view but those are merely just offering viewing it at a different angle. Papago actually offers 3D buildings, junctions and landmarks!

This is extremely useful when you are unfamiliar with the surrounding and wanted to make sure you see a familiar landmark according to the GPS.
