Access Netflix , Hulu , Pandora , Rdio outside USA from anywhere in the world with MediaHint extension

I found this utility just a few days back when I wanted to use the pandora internet radio service but was unable as it is only available in the United States. and everytime and everything i tried i couldn't use the service same was the case with Netflix and Hulu. 

Though there are various options to use the VPN stuff and all but still I didn't want to use that because we have to setup the VPN , Streaming through it is damn slow ! 

And just then I found this browser extension called MediaHint . 

This extension is available only for Google Chrome  and Mozilla Firefox . 

Since I'm based in India i wasn;t able to access Pandora, Netflix , Hulu etc . which said "we are currently not available in your country yet ! " . 

So I just downloaded and installed this Simple extension in Google Chrome . I was skeptical but then I quickly visited Pandora.com and I was like , " COOL ! " . 

Though i don't use Netflix or Hulu yet but those sites did allow me to signup now . :)

MediaHint describes it as :

This extension allows you to access internet media streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, Pandora and Rdio from anywhere.
No additional set-up required. Install extension and you are ready to go.

Install and start using:
Hulu.com
Netflix.com
Pandora.com
Rdio.com

Media Hint works as advertised. It’s difficult to say how long it will be available before it is blocked by the big four mentioned above, or before it is shut down completely.

Cheers :)

Fantasia Painter Free App for Windows Phone 7 / 7.5 / 7.8 / 8

Hey guys , welcome back ! Today I am going to talk about the Fantasia Painter App on the Windows Phone Marketplace .
                                


The Fantasia Painter app has there around for a long time but earlier it was a Paid app . 
Although there was a free version the app didn't allow you to save the image / photo after you have edited it and always prompted to buy the full version . 

Well , not anymore ! The developer has made the app available for free though it contains ads as they say doesn't make any difference in the app experience . 

I must say Fantasia Painter Free is the Best photo editing App I have ever used on any of the smart  phones and that too for FREE ! 

You would know its usefulness only when you use it , though the developer describes the app as follows :

Brushes: Eye color/shadow/makeup Fur, Furball - Paint cute furry animals, furry flowers, add fur to photos.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to Release on March 14

It’s not just Apple’s iPhone that finds itself the subject of speculation and even the odd concept drawing, you know. These days, Samsung is undoubtedly one of the biggest players in the smartphone world, and as such it is without a doubt one of the few companies that can garner the same kind of attention as Apple when it has a new product in the pipeline.

The Galaxy S IV is the latest phone to end up at the center of internet rumors and guesswork. As such, it too is currently finding itself the subject of all manner of concept images, but the latest to catch our attention are certainly some of the best we’ve ever seen.

Coming courtesy of Martin Hajek, the images were created to show off what the Galaxy S IV may look like when it is announced by Samsung later this month. Read more at www.redmondpie.com

OSX running on Microsoft Surface Pro [video]

Unofficial modified versions of OS X are available, bypassing the Apple-imposed checks that determine whether the computer is actually a Mac, requiring only that the hardware is similar to the one found on typical Mac computers.

The Surface Pro is powered with an Intel Core i5 and hardware similar to the one found on low-end Mac devices, therefore running OS X on this device sounds feasible, just like other PC’s that are capable of running tweaked versions of OS X. However, doubts about the legitimacy of the video lie among many, since it wouldn’t have been too difficult to capture a video of the OS X interface and playing it back on the Surface. Have a look at the video below and check for yourself:

HTC One Review : 2013 - Coolest Smartphone

HTC has confirmed its Android flagship of 2013; the HTC One will be the only ‘One’ device to launch this year. The HTC One, which was unveiled a few weeks ago, is already proving to be a hit after receiving a stack of positive reviews. But, according to Phil Roberson, head of HTC UK and Ireland, there isn’t another flagship on the agenda for 2013. It was around this time last year that the Taiwanese manufacturer announced a range of ‘One’ devices, namely the One S, One X and One V.

But, the HTC One marks the start of a “new approach” from the manufacturer as it looks towards producing fewer devices and focus more on the quality of the handsets it does release.

So, will the HTC One bring enough innovation and functionality to the table to kick-start this new strategy? Judging by its positive reception so far the future is certainly looking bright. Read on to decide for yourself…
