See right through gaming

So this dude, for some reason, decided to X-ray a whole bunch of gaming consoles and their attachments. I don’t know if he’s a bored radiologist or if he just had a spare X-ray machine lying around in his backyard but he came up with some pretty cool photos

Techno Tip #1

Okay, so James’ techno tip of the week is DROPBOX.

Basically, Dropbox is an synchronization program which syncs files from your computer to an account on the internet. Now, most of you would be going “that’s nice, now why would I care about synchronization?”. Well, here is scenario 1; you need to access some files at varsity, but it’s on your home computer and you just can’t get it. Scenario 2, the printer at home has problems so you have to email your essay to your Gmail, so you can print it at varsity.

Now, this is where Dropbox becomes extremely handy. What it does is monitor a specific folder on your home computer and it syncs whatever files are in that folder, to an online account. All you need to do is paste your files (word documents, photos, music, whatever you want) into that folder and then it will sync it automatically. So for example, all I have to do is copy and paste my essay into that folder on my home computer and then I can access my essay at varsity by simply logging onto my Dropbox account at UCT. Simple, not so? Give it a try, it’s very good, and very simple to use – and it also does a lot more than what I just described.
