Quick Draw


Quick, Draw!

I've always been a fan of Google's Chrome Experiments like Super Sync Sports or 100,000 stars. This new experiment called Quick, Draw! lets you play the beloved party favorite - PICTIONARY!! (.. with an AI). This is a game based on a neural network. Every time you draw something the neural network tries to guess what are you drawing; And whilst doing so you are actually training the network too. From animals to objects, or from a rollercoaster to a laptop, you get to draw a lot of things. You can also see what others have drawn before, by clicking on the pictures you have drawn, at the end of each round. Although using a device with a touch input is much easier (for you too draw... the A.I is quite smart) using a mouse or any pointing device should work fine.

Unroll.Me

Every couple of months, I find myself spending hours cleaning my email inboxes. Modern spam/junk filters do a good job, but not good enough. There are tons of email subscriptions that end-up unsubscribing every few months. Finding the 'Unsubscribe' link, answering the survey questions, and sometimes just adding stuff to the junk folder is a tedious task. Unroll.me simplifies this. With an awesome minimalistic UI, unroll.me not only manages your subcriptions, but with its 'roll up' feature, it consolidates all your emails which you don't wish to unsubscribe, but don't want them cluttering your inbox either. Don't wait up Unroll.Me is a must have service and it's FREE.
Unroll.me also has an iOS App.

Thanks reddit for the tip.
Visit Unroll.Me for the web app.

For all you lazy Next>Next>Next>Next... Installers


 Unchecky is a freeware that stops other freewares from sneaking into your PC. It's not an Anti-virus type software. It simply warns you, when you are installing applications like Java Runtime Environment; and a bundle of useless, memory leeching, annoying and sometimes malicious toolbars tag along. It isn't a must-have but, if you are one of those people who often end-up troubleshooting you othera tech problems, your help-seeker's PCs needs this.

A good alternative is Ninite.

I know it's been a very long time since I posted anything, but you may always follow on Twitter  @gurumef to be in touch.

Convert Anything to Everything Online

converter  

Remember the time we used to download a million different tools to convert .flv movies to .avi or .divx, or convert word document to pdf and vice versa? No less than 6 months ago, my computer was loaded with such different file converter for audio, video, images, documents and archives. I even had apps installed on my phone to do file format conversions. Finally I decided to find an online alternative for this. Something which will convert anything to the target format I need. And YES, I still believe in the internet, because I found www.online-convert.com – Convert media free, fast and online. No software installation needed. All you have to do is Select the Target format, tweak the output file settings, upload the file or choose a file from Dropbox (favorite feature) or the URL of the file you want to convert and it’s done.image

Currently free and Ads supported, www.online-convert.com can convert over 168 file types to JPG. With advance settings like frame-rate, bit-rate, cut/trim videos, etc. the video converter works flawlessly. Apart from audio and video www.online-convert.com offers converters for e-books, images, documents, hash and archives. The archive converter does not support .RARs yet, but .7z and .zip are great (another reason not to ever buy WinZip).

A lot different websites like convertonlinefree.com, www.zamzar.com, www.convertfiles.com, media.io offer similar features but only www.convertfiles.com offers comparable diversity of supported file formats.

www.online-convert.com is fast, free and elegant and totally deserves a place on your bookmarks bar ( beside TechMef.com)
