TechSource: Top Video-Sharing Apps For Android

---

Top Video-Sharing Apps For Android Posted: 18 Mar 2013 01:22 AM PDT With the slightly controversial Vine, video sharing went mainstream. A Twitter product, the iOS-only app allowed users to share small videos to other users and public as well. As good as the product was, it was not available to Android users.  Many Androiders have been looking for some decent video-sharing apps for the platform, and have been slightly disappointed in the past. Thankfully though, recently, there have been some new apps in the Google Play Store that let you share videos with your friends and even with the public as well. Klip With a clean interface, Klip is a free application that allows you to shoot video clips and store them online. Once you shoot the video, it gets added to your Klip library. From there, you can preview the video and share it with your friends. One of the best features of this app is that it allows you to upload unlimited amount of videos to your online Klip account. You can either use the front or back camera to shoot your video and then upload it online. When it comes to the social aspect of the application, Klip lets you search and discover videos uploaded by other users too. You can view them, comment on them, and like them. One of the coolest features I really like was the one that allows you to post big smileys along with your comment. Despite being social, Klip also focuses on privacy. You can set Klip to block viewers from viewing and commenting on your videos and profile.   DOWNLOAD HERE Mobli Mobli is a free application that capture your favorite moments through videos and photos, and share them to the world. With a strong focus on the social aspect, Mobli not only lets you share videos, but also allows you to connect with other people who are using the social network. You can browse and comment on other people's shared videos and photos and also view what's trending around the world. The application also provides filters so that you can browse specific videos and photos without having to go through a bunch of unwanted ones.  DOWNLOAD HERE Live Video Share (Flixwagon) This free application lets you broadcast live video to your friends and interact with them via social networks. Unlike other video-sharing apps where you shoot the video, save it, and then share it with your friends, Flixwagon lets you share the video in real-time. This gives you the experience of broadcasting a particular event live via television. Furthermore, the application also provides geo-location features so that you can browse other interesting places and mark your recorded events on a map.   DOWNLOAD HERE Qik Video Qik lets you do video chats, video mail, and video sharing for free. Once installed, you'll be able to stream live videos via Facebook, Twitter, and more. You can also make live video calls with any of your mobile contacts. If they are unreachable via Qik, you can also send them an SMS. Coming to the video-sharing part, videos are instantly uploaded to the cloud. The cloud storage space however is limited to 25 videos. If you want more storage, then uploading to a premium account gives you unlimited space and storage.   DOWNLOAD HERE Magisto Magisto is much like Instagram for videos. Once you shoot a video, Magisto turns it into an edited movie and lets you share it with your friends for free. All you have to do is shoot the video from your Android phone, upload it to Magisto, and choose a soundtrack for the movie. One of the best features of this app is that it automatically edits the video for you. That is, it analyzes the footage, splices it, applies the necessary filters and gives it back to you. You can then share this video with your friends and your family.   DOWNLOAD HERE Written by: Abhishek, a regular TechSource contributor and a long-time FOSS advocate.

TechSource: How to Annotate PDF Documents in Ubuntu Linux

---

How to Annotate PDF Documents in Ubuntu Linux Posted: 15 Mar 2013 11:19 PM PDT We all love taking notes and highlighting important parts while reading a book. Modern e-book readers like Kindle and Nook also incorporate the same functionality into their devices. They let us highlight and annotate our e-books so that we can revisit anything that we felt was important in the book. If you don't own a Nook or a Kindle but prefer reading documents and e-books in PDF format on your Ubuntu desktop, annotating them isn't as straightforward as it is on those devices. Most PDF readers in Linux do not support annotations right away. However, by installing some tools, you can start instantly annotating and highlighting your PDF documents. Here are a couple of ways to configure Ubuntu to let you highlight documents using Evince and Okular. Annotating With Document Viewer Ubuntu comes with its default document reader called Evince. Though a straightforward and simple application, Evince can easily be configured so that it can let you annotate your documents. And, even though the annotations are not as good as you'd expect them to be, it is a feature that does what it says, it lets you highlight specific parts of a document and add notes to them. To install annotations in Evince, you'll need to add a couple of libraries to your Ubuntu installation. To do that, open your terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and type in or paste the following commands: sudo apt-get install poppler-data poppler-utils Once you've done that, open Evince by searching for the term "Document Viewer" from the launcher. From Evince, open any PDF document you want by pressing Ctrl+O. Then, find the Index/Thumbnails panel on the left-hand side. If you don't see the side pane, press F9 to show it. Then click on the pane, and you'll find a drop-down menu letting you select between Thumbnails, Bookmarks, Index, and Annotations.  Select Annotations from the menu and you'll find a pane with two tabs: Add and List. Switch to the "Add" tab. Now, whenever you want to annotate parts of a document, click on the pencil icon you'll see in the Annotations pane. Doing this will pop up a yellow post-it where you can write notes and remarks. Once you're done annotating, don't forget to save the document by pressing Ctrl+S. Now, whenever you want to review your Annotations, you can do so by switching to the "List" tab. Unfortunately, Evince doesn't allow highlighting or any other markings. If you want to do that, you will need to install Okular. Annotating With Okular Okular is a KDE-based document-reading application that comes with amazing highlighting and bookmarking features. It has a solid set of features that make it a perfect document reader whether you're a KDE user or not. To install Okular type in or paste the following commands in your terminal: sudo apt-get install okular Open Okular by searching for it from the Launcher. Then, open a PDF document of your choice. To start annotating, press F6 or, from the menu bar, select Tools -> Review. A thin side pane will pop up letting you highlight the document, write notes, and draw freehand lines too. Use the buttons 1 through 6 to select any of the tools. You can access your annotations any time in the future by using the "Review" pane in the sidebar.

TechSource: Samsung Galaxy S4 Rumors, Hype, and Expectations

---

Samsung Galaxy S4 Rumors, Hype, and Expectations Posted: 13 Mar 2013 08:25 PM PDT Samsung's flagship device, the Galaxy S4 will finally be unveiled several hours from now. Successor to the insanely popular Galaxy S3 device, this new offering from the Korean giant is all set to wow the Android fanbase. Speculations, rumors, and even "confirmed" features are all that you see on tech news sites. After all, this is the best smartphone in the world and it has to live up to the expectations. Samsung, on the other hand, has taken all efforts to ensure that there is enough hype created before the release. They have launched a couple of ads that help in building up the excitement towards the big event. Furthermore, banners, ads, and giant hoardings are all indicating that Samsung is bringing something big for its fans. As big as the hype seems, passionate Android users are satisfied only with the best. So, needless to say, we have our own expectations from of this upcoming Android super smartphone. We want the device to be a blend of all the things we have on our "secret smartphone wishlist" that we keep tucked right under our beds. Rumors are that the last Samsung device was also a result of our idea to send our secret smartphone wish list to the Korean giant (this will be our little secret shhhh..). Anyways, before you start wondering whether we expect Samsung to make intergalactic phone calls, it is time to unveil what we really expect from our beloved Samsung.  My favorite rendered image of the Galaxy S4 Performance and Processor: Duh! If it's a new device, it will have a new processor. No, seriously. We want the fastest in the market. The breeziest one that can do ten things at once. Okay, let's slow down. What we really expect from Samsung is a processor that hasn't been used in any other device and is the fastest one around. What the rumor mills are saying is that the Galaxy S4 will feature the new Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor that Samsung tweeted out recently. Many rumors are pointing towards this processor being included in the final version. The chip has eight cores and is based on AMD's big.LITTLE architecture. One of the smartest things you'll find in this chip is that some cores will automatically shut down whenever they are not in use thus conserving the battery life. As far as the RAM is concerned, 2GB or more would be great. Looks / Design: We expect Samsung to deliver a slimmer smartphone than the previous Galaxies; however, it shouldn't be any bigger than the Galaxy S3. With the recent trend of "Grand" phones taking over, the Galaxy S4 should shy away from making an almost phablet-looking phone. Instead, it should be a phone that fits nicely into our palms and lets us reach all corners of our device using simply one hand. As to how the device will finally look like, no one knows; however, pictures of the device were allegedly leaked on a Chinese forum pointing towards a much slimmer device that looks almost the same as the Galaxy S3. Now many tech experts are saying that the reports are fake and that the phone in the pictures is nothing but Samsung Galaxy S3. We'll have to wait and see as to how the device actually looks like when it comes out. Display: It is rumored that Samsung will launch a full-HD 5-inch display for its new device. One rumor from Sammobile suggests that the Galaxy S4 will feature a floating-touch display. This new feature will let you use your finger as a cursor so that you can hover over a photo album to get a preview of what is inside it. Another rumor about the display is that the S4 will use a new AMOLED material known as green PHOLED that will make the standard AMOLED display 25% more efficient. What we want is a display that tops the Apple's retina display yet saves an insane amount of battery life. Camera: Rumors suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a 13-Megapixel camera with new Samsung Orb technology that lets you capture 360-degree photos like Photosphere. What we expect from Samsung is a camera that is quick and lets you capture multiple snaps without any lag. Also, full HD recording and other standard features would be good to have. Another feature we might see is a better front-facing camera from Samsung. Price: Let's hope Samsung doesn't bring something that burns a hole into our pockets. With the launch of Nexus 4, many people are expecting Samsung to lower the prices of its devices. But again, Samsung is known to be on the expensive side so, you never know. OS / User Interface: One thing that SHOULD be there is Android Jelly Bean updated to the very latest version. What we also need is a newer version of the TouchWiz UI. If you compare the vanilla Jelly Bean UI to the TouchWiz UI of say Galaxy S3, you'll be disappointed at what Samsung has done. Many rumors are also suggesting that the Galaxy S4 will have an updated version of the TouchWiz UI. Let's keep our fingers crossed for this one. Conclusion: We are all excited about the Samsung event in New York. With its soaring popularity, Samsung is raising the bar of smartphones each year. It looks like Samsung is becoming the new Apple in the eyes of consumers. Let's hope the Galaxy S4 will not disappoint.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How To Use Multiple PHP Versions (PHP-FPM & FastCGI) With ISPConfig 3 (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
========================================================================================

Since ISPConfig 3.0.5, it is possible to use multiple PHP versions on one server and select the optimal PHP version for a website. This feature works with PHP-FPM (starting with PHP 5.3) and FastCGI (all PHP 5.x versions). This tutorial shows how to build PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 as a PHP-FPM and a FastCGI version on an Ubuntu 12.04 server. These PHP versions can be used together with the default PHP (installed through apt) in ISPConfig.

How To Use Multiple PHP Versions (PHP-FPM & FastCGI) With ISPConfig 3 (CentOS 6.3)
==================================================================================

This feature works with PHP-FPM (starting with PHP 5.3) and FastCGI (all PHP 5.x versions). This tutorial shows how to build PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 as a PHP-FPM and a FastCGI version on a CentOS 6.3 server.

Serving CGI Scripts With Nginx On Fedora 18
===========================================

This tutorial shows how you can serve CGI scripts (Perl scripts) with nginx on Fedora 18. While nginx itself does not serve CGI, there are several ways to work around this. I will outline two solutions: the first is to proxy requests for CGI scripts to Thttpd, a small web server that has CGI support, while the second solution uses a CGI wrapper to serve CGI scripts.

You can find the document here:
-------------------------------
http://www.howtoforge.com/serving-cgi-scripts-with-nginx-on-fedora-18




Using mod_spdy With Apache2 On CentOS 6.3
=========================================

SPDY (pronounced "SPeeDY") is a new networking protocol whose goal is to speed up the web. It is Google's alternative to the HTTP protocol and a candidate for HTTP/2.0. SPDY augments HTTP with several speed-related features such as stream multiplexing and header compression. To use SPDY, you need a web server and a browser (like Google Chrome and upcoming versions of Firefox) that both support SPDY. mod_spdy is an open-source Apache module that adds support for the SPDY protocol to the Apache HTTPD server. This tutorial explains how to use mod_spdy with Apache2 on CentOS 6.3.

You can find the document here:
-------------------------------
http://www.howtoforge.com/using-mod_spdy-with-apache2-on-centos-6.3




Set Up Squid Siblings On CentOS 6.3 With WCCP
=============================================

This tutorial will walk you through setting up a couple of outbound Squid proxy sibling servers running on CentOS 6.3 and have them connected to your gateway using WCCP. This will not cover the tuning of Squid in terms of cache performance.

You can find the document here:
-------------------------------

Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 (PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On Scientific Linux 6.3
=================================================================================

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Scientific Linux 6.3 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.

TechSource: How to Take Screenshots on Linux Using the Command Line

---

How to Take Screenshots on Linux Using the Command Line Posted: 10 Mar 2013 08:01 PM PDT A screenshot is an image taken by the computer user to record the visible items displayed on the monitor, television, or any other visual output device. In the Linux world, screenshots are very useful if you want to get proper support for your problems. Usually, many people that post bugs or errors they encountered while using Linux are asked to submit screenshots of their desktop.  In other cases, screenshots are used by many users to show off their customized desktops. Hashtags like #showyourdesktopfriday are rather quite popular amongst Google Plus users. And mind you, most of the posts in this category include screenshots of Linux desktops. Many users take screenshots on Linux using the Print Screen button. Simply pressing the Print Screen button makes a camera-like clicking noise on your desktop and the computer asks you where to save the image. If, however, you are a command line junkie and spend most of your time perusing lines and lines of code, you won't like this GUI-esque method of taking screenshots. For you, nothing but a simple command to do that would suffice. For these fastidious command-line addicts, fortunately, there are a few solutions that let them take pictures of their desktop without leaving the ever-familiar terminal. So, if you're one of those users waiting to show of their desktop whilst impatiently staring at a blinking cursor, here are some tips on how to take screenshots on Linux using the command line. When you take a screenshot using the print screen button, you are using the Gnome screenshot tool. Instead of calling it using the print screen button, you can also ask it to take a screenshot using the command line. To do that, simply open your terminal and type in the following command: gnome-screenshot This will simply take a screenshot of the whole desktop and ask you where to save it.  Taking screenshot of a particular region on the screen: If you want to take screenshot of a particular area, type in the following command: gnome-screenshot -a This will turn your mouse pointer into crosshairs thus allowing you to select any area you want as a screenshot. Taking screenshot of the command line itself: If you want to take screenshot of the command line window itself, you can do that by typing in the following command: gnome-screenshot -w Also, if you want to take a screenshot without the window border, you can type in the following command: gnome-screenshot -w -B Adding effects to your screenshot: If you want to add a border or a shadow to your screenshots, you can do that by typing in the following command: gnome-screenshot -w -e shadow Or, you can add a border to your screen grabs using the following command: gnome-screenshot -w -e border Taking screenshots with delays: You can also add a delay to the screenshots so that you can access a particular menu or a window that normally won't be shown if you take the screenshot instantly. gnome-screenshot -d 5 The aforementioned command will add a delay of 5 seconds before the screenshot.
