Charge Motorola RAZR with standard USB cable from PC
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I have been charging my RAZR with a standard mini USB cable hooked up to my laptop. This keeps me from toting around an extra charger to work where my RAZR will inevitable run out of juice before I leave that end of the day. All you need are the right drivers and a mini USB cable, which most people have from digital cameras or mp3 players. If not a trip to Radioshack or Kmart will get you a cable for less than $3.00. Meanwhile Motorola charges over $20 for their “special” cable. Simple instructions below.
WinSnap makes screenshots easier, and automatically resizes
Screenshots are a way of life for me, and any product that can make that happen in as little steps as possible gets my mention. This free for personal use software lets you take a screen shot of virtually anything on your screen and repost. Some of great features are automatic shadow effect, auto-resizing, as well as watermarking.
Qumana blog publisher, one more alternative to Performancing
Its not that blogging that is hard, its getting content, formatting the content, and then proofing the content that is hard. WordPress is quick and easy but it could be better. In comes utilities like Qumana, which aspires to get you to put their ads in your blog but whether or not you add the ads from Qumana we have a powerful blog publisher here. I set up my blog in a matter of minutes and was posting highly formatted blog posts in minutes. There were a couple quirks in the WYSIWYG view that showed text breaks at a larger break than on the web but for the most part I was able to create a post in record time.

Web 2.0 gives dislike a chance with Snubster.com
So Web 2.0 has covered the “I like this, you must like me” category, its about time Web 2.0 realized dislike is just as powerful as like. This is why I created my own site producthater.com (still in testing). Snubster is just another site that gets a snub in at people you dislike or ideas you dislike. Snubster can even send an email to put that person of dislike on notice. What fun!
MusicNation is a mix of Pandora, MTV, and YouTube
Mix Pandora, MTV, and YouTube and there you have MusicNation. Watch Indie amateur videos on MusicNation and vote for the best bands. It feels like MTV in the early days, and one has to wonder why MTV hasn’t jumped on this bandwagon. Usually Pandora is the music player of choice but I found myself discovering new really good bands all day long and watching videos again like it was 1992 all over again.

MediaFire lets you upload and download your files for free without sign-up
Its not often that I need to send a file to someone without ftp knowledge but on the rare occasion that I do, I seem to be relying on MediaFire often enough to get a mention here on noheat.com. Simply because it is not necessary to “sign up” to transfer files. Its FREE, unlimited in every way I can see, and allows multiple simultaneous files to be downloaded.
