How Old Do I Look website from Microsoft

Everyone wants to know – Do I look younger or older than I actually am? Well for all those who have this question, there is now a website that can guess you age and your gender from any photograph.

How Old Do I Look


Microsoft recently released a Face detection API. Based on this API, it took a couple of developers just a day to put this website together. This website allows users to upload their photograph. The API then tries to guess the age and gender of any faces recognized in that picture.
Face APIs are a part of Microsoft Project Oxford, which provides state-of-the-art algorithms to process face images, including gender, age, recognition, alignment and other application-level features.
The key components of this website are:
  1. Extracting the gender and age of the people in these pictures.
  2. Obtaining real-time insights on the data extracted above.
  3. Creating real-time dashboards to view the above results.
We also got real-time insights to learn more about how people were using this tool. For instance, we assumed that folks would not want to upload their own pictures but would prefer to select from pre-canned images such as what they found online. But we what we found out was that over half the pictures analyzed were of people who had uploaded their own images, said Microsoft.
The results were not bad too. The website put my age at 47, whereas I am a couple of years older than that.
Go visit how-old.net and see what it has to say about you. Let us know if it guessed correctly about you.

3 Wikipedia Games you want to play


Wikipedia does not need any introduction and it is well known to everyone, as it is one of the places where everyone lands on to find the information.

Wouldnt it be great if you could gain knowledge having fun, using Wikipedia? If your answer is yes, then this article will let you know about 3 Wikipedia games you must play, which are entirely based on Wikipedia articles.
Wikipedia Games list
There may be many games online, but playing a game which involves Wikipedia articles entirely is somewhat exciting and interesting. Have a look at these Wikipedia games which you can play using Wikipedia articles.
WikiAata
WikiAata is a guessing game and it involves little bit of puzzle. It has simple rules and the game is all about dealing with the Wikipedia articles. You will be given starting and the ending article and you need to start from the first article and reach the last or destination article using the hyperlinks of the first article. You can view the related Wikipedia articles as tabs.

Cloudberry Explorer for Google Storage Review


Cloud is the word. Most of us are using it knowingly or unknowingly. Maybe some of you already have a desktop SkyDrive sync software or a Google Drive software. The problem with these sync software is that they choose the time to upload the documents and files. With Cloudberry, things change. You just have to drag and drop a file from one window to another to upload the files. This review of Cloudberry Explorer for Google Storage checks out how efficient that software is.
Cloudberry Explorer for Google Storage
Cloudberry download & installation
The download part was a bit tedious. That’s because my Avast antivirus kept giving a message that the software I was downloading was a malware. It wouldn’t let me download the file. But since Cloudberry comes from a reputed brand, I assumed it was a false positive turned off my antivirus for a while. That done, download and the installation on my Windows PC was easier than expected. I did run an antimalware test on downloaded file and no threats were detected. I wrote about the antivirus warning to its customer care about this malware warning, and will update the post if I receive ant response from them.
There were also no crapware that generally accompanies freeware. Cloudberry comes in two versions – freeware and paid. We are reviewing the free version of Cloudberry.

Cloudberry Explorer for Google Cloud

Once installed, you can see the main window divided into two Explorer type windows. By default both will be your local storage. You will have to change the source of one of the Windows to Google cloud such as Google Drive or Google Nearline before you can upload or download files from the cloud.
Fig 2  - Adding Google Cloud to Cloudberry
But before you can select the source Google cloud, you have to add it to the Cloudberry. This, you can do from File menu > Google Cloud Storage. Since the version is specific to Google cloud, you can only add Google cloud offerings. There is a separate tab for Google Drive.
When you opt to add a Google cloud service to Cloudberry, you will have to sign up with your Google login credentials. For example, clicking on New Account will open up a login dialog where you enter your login credentials for the Drive you wish to add to Cloudberry. You can add more than one accounts to the system. For details about Google cloud, you can visit cloud.google.com.
That done, working with Cloudberry is a cheese. You can change the source of one of the windows to Google cloud – it could be Google Drive, Google Nearline, or any other type of Google cloud offering. All you need to do is to transfer files just like you move or copy files from one Windows File Explorer window to another Windows Explorer window. You can drag a file from local file to the Explorer window showing Google Drive to upload the file to Google Drive. To download a file, select a file from the Google cloud window and drag it to the destination folder in the local storage window in the Cloudberry Explorer.
The speed of transfer is good. It hardly took four minutes to upload approximately 600MB of data from local computer to Drive on a 16 Mbps connection. Thus, Cloudberry offers a better speed than the manual upload to Drive.
If you can remember, Google Drive can be accessed via web, and you have an upload option present. You use that option to upload files and folders. The speed of upload is slow in this case as compared to Cloudberry explorer. Plus, I did not have to open a web browser and log into my Google Drive.

Additional Features of Cloudberry

Other than easy and faster transfer of files, you can search for files with the free version of Cloudberry. You can delete the files using right click in the window showing contents of Google Cloud. There is an encryption facility available only to Pro users. The free version will not provide encryption to uploaded files and it is not clear if there is any encryption during transfer of files.
Summary
Cloudberry Explorer for Google Cloud is meant for mass transfer of data. That is, though you can transfer smaller files, it works better for bigger folders containing tons of data. The technique is HTTP but speed is good compared to manual searching and downloading or uploading data. Uploading of data is faster than you get using manual upload features of Google Drive. I would recommend it if you deal with good amount of data – if you transfer (upload and download) plenty of files every day. If you are using other Google services, such as the Nearline or Google Cloud, Cloudberry is a must have tool because – as I said – it works much better when working with volumes of data compared to manual upload/download using browser.
You can download Cloudberry Explorer for Google Cloud from its home page.

We have seen how to edit PDF files in Word 2013, now let us see how you can use Word Online to edit PDF documents, free, without worrying about the location and formatting of the source document.

Use Word Online to edit PDF Documents

You can use Word Online to edit PDF documents in the browser itself. It may not perfectly suit for PDF documents with a lot of charts or graphs, but if the PDF documents have simple text, then you can use Word Online to edit them. Word Online is the best option to edit PDF files with a less number of images and simple text. You will be using Word Online to edit PDF files by visiting OneDrive. Here are the steps to be followed.

Visit OneDrive.com and sign-in with your Microsoft Account. Upload PDF documents which you want to edit in to it. Once the upload of the PDF documents is done, double-click on the uploaded file. This is the PDF documents which is not edited yet and we are going to do that now.

Click on the “Edit in Word” option which is on the top. It asks for your confirmation, to convert the PDF documents to Word to make it editable and click on “Convert”. It makes a copy of your source PDF file and it is not altered at all.

Using Word Online to edit PDF files is easy and preferable, as you do not need any software to be installed in yourcomputer. You can get rid of PDF editors and other third party plug-ins.

You can use Google Drive to extract text from images or PDF files. I tried both of them and I see Word Online is doing a better job of editing the PDF file.
