comGateway - Shop from USA and ship internationally for much less!

 

It's no secret, there's nothing quite like shopping online at U.S. websites. Just think of all the great stuff on Amazon, eBay, Zappos, Sephora & more that you can't find anywhere else. However many of these stores don't offer international shipping or charge a lot for it. 
This site provides you with a local US address and can even buy you a US credit card. You can get your package shipped to that domestic address, and there these people ship your package internationally to you.
It is relatively cheap, and you can enjoy shopping from any US websites now!

The room is filled with indestructible piggy banks made of transparent plastic. Naturally, these piggy banks have coin slots, and everyone can see which coins are in which piggy bank. These piggy banks can never leave the room.


 

An incredible time-lapse video

This video was shot by photographer Dustin Farrell in Arizona and Utah (yay!). He said, “Every frame of this video is a raw still from a Canon 5D2 DSLR and processed with Adobe software. In Volume 2 I again show off my beautiful home state of Arizona and I also made several trips to Utah. This video has some iconic landmarks that we have seen before. I felt that showing them again with motion controlled HDR and/or night timelapse would be a new way to see old landmarks.”
 In layman’s terms… he used a camera. Not a camcorder. A DSLR camera. And he put each individual picture together on a computer to make it into a video.

Why Watching DVDs on Linux is Illegal in the USA

 Watching DVDs on Linux is illegal in United States of America; Heres why dvd in vlc without libdvdcss

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) makes unlocking cell phones, ripping DVDs, removing eBook DRM, and jailbreaking tablets illegal in the USA. However, there’s another surprise: simply watching a DVD on Linux is also illegal.
This is why Ubuntu and other Linux distributions don’t include out-of-the-box DVD support, forcing you to run a command that downloads and installs libdvdcss from elsewhere – not the Linux distribution’s software repositories, or they would get in trouble.
If you are an American who’s watched a DVD on Linux, there’s a good chance the DMCA makes you a criminal.

Does Decreased Brightness Increase Your Phone's Battery Life?

How About an Experiment?



How do you measure the energy use in a phone? I’m sure there’s an app for that, but I don’t have that app. Instead, I tried something different. What if I charged my phone up to 100% battery and kept it plugged into the charger? In this case, I can assume that an increased load on the power charger is just due to an increased power use of the phone. Maybe this isn’t true, but I can assume it anyway.
