How To Enable Cut Paste In Mac Finder?
Sometimes Apple can be just plain ignorant. All these years and they still don’t have a proper way to Cut/Paste files and folders on Mac! You have to select the files, and drag them to the target location using the mouse. It makes moving files suck a pain in the ass.
Thankfully, there is a solution. Kapeli’s moveAddict for Mac fixes the long faced problem of Mac users. moveAddict provides the simple functionality to move files using the keyboard. You can select the files, Press “Command + X” to cut the files, select a target folder and Press “Command + V” to paste the files. It’s just like Windows. You can add Cut, Copy and Paste buttons on Finder’s toolbar.
How To Block Flash In Chrome Without A Plugin?
You may have a million reasons to block Flash from Google’s Chrome browser.

Whatever the reason, apparently Google makes it pretty easy to do so on Chrome without requiring an external plug-in like FlashBlock.

How To Fix Mac App Store Error 100
I came home all excited to update and see the Mac App Store, installed the update, enter my creds and was all excited to see the shiny new App Store. In fact I was praising Apple for such clean, perfect implementation. So I went ahead and clicked on the Twitter (previously Tweetie for Mac) download link. To my surprise (and anger) an error popped up saying “We could not complete your App Store request. An unknown error occured (100)”. Of course it pissed me off when multiple tries resulted in the same error. But finally I found a solution! It’ll help you’re facing the same issue.
Solution
Apparently, this error means that you haven’t said OK to Apple’s new Terms & Conditions. You should Log Out, Close the Mac App Store, Wait for 5 minutes or so (that’s how it worked in my case), open the App Store again and login. You’ll see a Terms & Conditions page. Press Accept and you can move ahead and download all the apps you can!

Make free phone calls to US & Canada from any country if you have a Google voice account
A few weeks back, Google launched a feature in Gmail which enabled their Google voice users to make free calls to phones in the US and Canada from within Gmail. However, this feature is only available to users physically located in the US and Canada. Even if you have a Google voice account, Gmail doesn’t show up the option when you log in from any other country (they use your ip address to detect where you are located).
However, there is a smart workaround using which you can use use this feature from any country.
Double driver backs up all your Windows drivers
Anyone who has been using any Windows OS for some time now knows that you have to reinstall the OS at least once every year. Whether its a deadly virus, hard disk crash or just that Windows has eaten up your partition and is now crawling like a snail, you will always find some or the other reason to reinstall Windows.
If you have a branded desktop which came with drivers disk or a restore disk, you can easily install all the drivers once you are done with the reinstall. However, if you are from the majority herd who have assembled their desktops from the grey market, chances are that you will start hunting for device drivers immediately after you re-install Windows.

How to build an entry level Home Theater and Gaming System [Part 2]
It just doesn’t take good quality components to build an awesome entertainment setup. The placement of the components and their calibration play a lot of role in enhancing the overall experience. In part 2 of our guide to build an entry level Home Theater & Gaming System, we tell you how to setup the components you purchased in part 1 for optimal use.
Screen
As with movie theaters, the best seat is directly in front of the middle of the screen. Place the screen at such a height that it lies straight in front of your eyes most of the time. If you are gonna sit on a couch, look for a stand/trolley a little higher than your coffee table. If you are installing it in your bedroom, something around the height of a typical computer table should be perfect (albeit you might want to buy something shorter if you have those new style low height beds).
