The Shortest Man in the World — Chandra Bahadur Dangi

Chandra Bahadur Dangi (born on November 30, 1939) is the shortest man in the world, measuring 0.546 m (1 ft 9 in). Dangi is a primordial dwarf. He broke the record of Gul Mohammed (1957-1997), the shortest adult human whose height was 0.5715 m (1 ft 11 in). Chandra came to news highlights of local media when a wood contractor saw him in his village. All of his family members are of usual size.

He was awarded the title of Shortest adult human ever recorded after measuring his height three times in 24 hours. The chief editor of Guinness Book of World Records said that Chandra is the only person in Guinness' 57 years history to record the title of the shortest man at the age of 73. Dangi lives with his nephews in a remote village of Nepal which is some 400 km away from the country's capital. He wishes to travel all parts of his country and the world. He stated that with him being the shortest man of the world and belonging to Nepal, he wants to popularize his village and his country through the medium of this title. 

In 2012, he met the world’s shortest woman, Jyoti Amge of Nagpur, India. The pair posed together for the 57th edition of the Guinness World Records 2013. It is currently unknown what medical condition has restricted Dangi’s height. 19 more images after the break...

Turn your iPhone Camera into Search Engine with CamFind

Posted: 05 Jun 2013 05:30 AM PDT

If you have been thinking that your iPhone camera is only for clicking photos and shooting videos then I must tell you that you are mistaken. There are many more stuffs that the phone camera is capable of doing. From capturing the moments, to scanning the barcodes or using as a document scanner, your camera can do wonders. This article will let you know how to use this camera to find anything on Google just by shooting with it.
If we ask most people “how do they search for an item in Google”, a common answer would be by typing the query on Google but do you know that traditional text-based search will be almost obsolete in the near future? People are using smartphones and tablets to have the Internet at their fingertips while they’re on the go, not while they’re sitting at the office.

This is why, today, we can make use of voice based search to find anything on Google. Now here is an addition to that, you can use your mobile phone camera to initiate a visual search on Google too. Didn’t get me? Well, you just need to click anything (almost anything) with your iPhone camera and the identified image will be directly searched on Google for various related results. All with the help of this app called CamFind.

How CamFind works?
All you need to do is just shoot something you want to enquire about, let CamFind recognize it for you and the related search results will be provided right there on your phone. For instance, if you take a snap of the movie poster, CamFind will show related trailers to the movie, local show timings, links to IMDB and other related stuffs.
CamFind can also work as a translator to you. Say, you are in a new place where you can’t understand signs in the local language, so just take a snap and let it translate the results for you. (Note: Do take care while doing this as it might change your language settings, thus it’s better to know how to change the language before trying this feature).
CamFind also helps to scan the barcode just like RedLaser and also incorporates voice search feature in case you don’t wish to use the visual search feature.
The app is currently available only for iOS users and is free. If you like the app then you can try it and if you don’t then you can just save time of typing terms in your mobile browser.

Disable autorun for discs

Put a disc in your CD/DVD drive and you'll notice an appreciable lag as it spins up, even if you're not just about to use it. If you don't always need your CDs and DVDs to launch automatically when you insert them, the needless spinning up of the discs can slow your machine down.

You can disable CD autorun by modifying this registry key:

'HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current ControlSet\Services\Cdrom'. Double-click the 'AutoRun Dword' value and set it to '0'. Change it to '1' to restore it.

Remove text from icons

You can improve the general look of your PC's desktop by removing the names of shortcuts, leaving the icons to speak for themselves. If you try renaming a desktop shortcut to a single space, Windows XP won't let you.

However, you can force it to accept a space as the name by holding down [Alt] and typing 255 on the number pad. If you want multiple shortcuts to have blank names, you'll need to give each one a different number of spaces to avoid them having identical names.

Remove the Recycle Bin

If you prefer to work with a completely clear desktop, you can hide the Recycle Bin with a little Registry hack. You can still use the [Shift] + [Delete] shortcut to access the Bin when you need it.

Choose 'Start > Run' and type 'Regedit' in the 'Open' bar. Click 'OK'. Now browse to: HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer\HideDesktop Icons\NewStartPanel. Create a new DWORD value and name it: '{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}'

Double-click this and change its value to '1'. Quit Registry Editor, then right-click an empty space somewhere on your desktop and choose 'Refresh'. The Recycle Bin icon will magically disappear from the desktop. You can get it back again at any time by changing the value back to '0'.
