Recover deleted files on your android Phone

We can all empathize with the sinking feeling felt when something important is erroneously deleted from our smartphones, but instead of becoming lost for good, the DiskDigger team has created an Android app to help you recover those precious files you thought had disappeared into the Recycle Bin of no return.

DiskDigger is a household name already, and if you're a Windows user, you may already have been acquainted with the tool that spares your files from the hangman's noose at the eleventh hour. The tool carries all of its strengths through to Android, and if you've recently deleted a file and are having second thoughts, DiskDigger is arguably your best hope of a reprieve.

Like the Windows iteration, it's absolutely free of charge, although does understandably require root access in order to work its magic. Currently in beta stage, it will recover recently deleted images with aplomb, and like any respectable app, it keeps its user interface as minimalistic as possible, as not to bamboozle those downloading it.

Far from one-dimensional, it uses a variety of different techniques in order to achieve its goal. Of course, there are no guarantees, but having tested it ourselves, it performed flawlessly, and having encountered many similar apps in the past, DiskDigger has to be among the best. When you launch it, you've the option of sifting through each partition of your device's storage. All you need to do is select the one which contained those images before you opted to remove them, and tap Scan device.From then, you can also refine your search down to the specific file type, and those found will appear in the corresponding window on the left hand side of the UI.

You can preview each file discovered, and simply hit Save,which will in turn present you the opportunity to restore the files to the location of your choosing. A Mail button is also included which lets you e-mail the images to an address of your choice, and although this no-frills app doesn't necessarily boast the various features offered by similar apps, it does a stellar job of what it proclaims to do.

Fix blurred photos

via: tech support alert
Every photographer knows the disappointment of taking a great photograph only to find the picture was ruined by camera shake or the subject moving.
Such photographs cannot be brought back to crisp focus but they can be improved using software that employs an advanced mathematical technique called deconvolution to try to undo the blur. Deconvolution is widely used in many areas of signal processing such as reducing the severity of echoes in long distance phone conversations.
The best deconvolution software for deblurring photos is commercial but there is a program called Unshake that can produce good results and is free for private use.
To get the best out of Unshake you need to do quite a bit of trial and error testing to determine which parameter settings yield the most acceptable results. Most of the time the improvement is considerably better than that obtainable by using simple sharpening filters like those that can be found in digital editing software such as Photoshop; it all depends on the nature of the blur in a particular photograph.
Unshake does not require installing as it's a Java program and will run on any computer including Windows, Macs and Linux boxes that have Sun Java installed.
On a Windows PC you need to unzip the download file to a folder then run the program called "launch" from that folder.

The interface is simple enough but usage requires experimentation. In particular you will need to play around with the settings in the two drop boxes at the top as well the amplification setting below. I strongly recommend that you read the file Instructions.html contained in the product folder before using the product.
Because Unshake is written in Java it runs quite slow – a 10 megapixel photo may take 5-10 minutes to process. For that reason I suggest you do your experimentation on a reduced size image (PNG format works best) and then process the full scale picture once you've worked out what settings give the best results. I used 1024*768 images for my testing and Unshake was able to process these images in 10-15 seconds.
So what results can you expect?
If you are using the results for forensic purposes such as deblurring a car license plate then you will be pleasantly surprised. That's because image clarity is important in these applications not image quality.
With normal landscape and portrait photos the results are less spectacular as too much deblurring results in increased noise artifacts and unpleasant etching. Still the results are usually considerably better than using sharpening filters in a digital editor. Here is a before and after sample photo I processed with Unshake.

Unshake is not a tool that you will use everyday but is a handy addition to your toolkit should you need to improve a valuable photograph that can not be replaced.
So next time you find a wonderful photo that's been blurred by movement, do try Unshake. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Unshake Version 1.5 Release 1
Download link: Unshake Download
System requirements: Works on any Windows, Mac or Linux system with Sun Java installed.

8 really useful websites

Web 2.0 sites that do something new and different

Twitter, Facebook, YouTube - in the tech arena, some of the best tried-and-true web sites are getting old-and-tired.
You can update your status, play Farmville, and post photos from that crazy office party, but are there any sites that actually offer something new and innovative?
Yes, and here are eight of the best that you may have never heard of.
1. Postabon.com
Postabon is a deal sharing site that works with iPhone and Android devices, but the truly innovative feature is that it uses location awareness and AI.
For example, once you connect, the site figures out where you are based on your IP address and then shows you any store discounts in your area.
Then, once you register and start browsing for deals, the site uses Common Lisp and a Hunchentootserver to track your searches and preferences (say, if you normally want to see deals on books and DVDs).

2. TopicFire.com
Google News gets a lot of attention as a great good news aggregator. TopicFire may not have the depth of content, but is better at weeding out old and irrelevant news.
The site uses a system called HeatRank that works in near real-time to rank news stories. (Most news aggregators only re-organize news stories every hour or so.)

The site also has some cool features for Facebook integration, news alerts using PubSubHubbub and rssCloud, and an automatic way to list only top-ranked stories.
3. Bugtwits.com
People keep finding new ways to use Twitter, and the latest is called Bugtwits, a site that aggregates any and all bugs for web sites and software.

One of the primary uses for the site is to search for bugs you are experiencing - for example, you can troubleshoot why you can't login to Facebook during heavy traffic periods. When you find a bug, you can tweet back to that user for more info.
4. ShapeCollage.com
ShapeCollage is not necessarily practical, but does do something brand new. Without even having to register, you can enter a URL that contains photos or direct links to photos (such as those on your Flickr page) and then create a collage out of the images.
Then, you can share the finished collage on Facebook or by e-mail as an embedded link. ShapeCollage also offers free desktop software.

5. KartMe.com
KartMe is another content sharing site - once you find a cool product, restaurant, photo, or web site, you can share the content with other users. It's like Google Bookmarks but goes a step further by "karting" the actual media files.

KartMe.com runs on Drupal, a module based system for adding new features, such as password protection for karted items.
6. Yola.com
One recent trend on the web - with sites like Joomla and through domain hosts such as GoDaddy - is to offer a full suite of tools for creating a robust site.
Yola goes a step further by actually making it easy and by providing templates that are not the typical blogger fare or something that anyone could cook up in Dreamweaver.

The site is built on Ajax and supports drag and drop editing. Most important for businesses is easy integration with other services, such as PayPal and YouTube. There are also 60,000 widgets you can add, although we don't recommend using them all.
7. Pixorial.com
One issue with YouTube is that you really need video editing skills (and desktop software) to make a great video. Pixorial is one of the only sites that not only hosts your video, but has a full set of online editing tools - most built on Ajax and Flash - that allow you to edit the video as well.
The site lets you share the finished videos by email and you can even make a final DVD to send to friends and family.

8. FriendShopper.com
Shopping is a shared experience - at least in the real world, and assuming said shopping isn't for a frozen meal for one. FriendShopper is a social shopping site - you just drag and drop a bookmarklet to your browser, add friends, and then add shopping items with a group of friends.

You can add new sites that everyone can see and - in real-time - select items you want to buy and decide which ones everyone agrees on (say, for apartment roommates or a weird cult).
