How to Download Facebook Photos Without Installing Any App

By | August 19, 2010 |

picknzip-logoUploading photos to your Facebook account is a one way traffic. You can easily get it up, but there is no way to get it down. If you have explored all the available options in Facebook, you will find that none of them allows you to download your photos (or photos with you tagged), other than the “Mouse Right-click -> Save Image as” method.

There are many reasons why you want to download your photo from Facebook:

  • You want to keep a copy of your tagged photos.
  • You don’t have access to Facebook all the times
  • You never know when Facebook will disappear, and bring along your precious photos with them

While there are plenty of applications out there that allow you to download Facebook photos, most of them are not cross-platform compatible and require you to perform an installation. If you are looking for a good handy FB photo downloader that works in all platform and doesn’t require installation, then Pick&Zip is the one you are looking for.

How To Tag Movies For Your Portable Multimedia Player Easily With MetaX

By | June 12, 2010 |

MetaX Logo.jpgAre you a commuter? How much time do you spend everyday on the road between your home and your workplace? I know many commuters who allocate 3-4 hours of daily traveling time, and I think it’s safe to say that most people use up at least 1 hour of their daily precious time commuting.

The question is, how would you utilize the time? One of the possibilities is filling the boring commuting hours by watching movies or catching up with your favorite TV series on your portable multimedia player. Thanks to the gigantic capacity of storage available today, we can practically bring tons of movies inside our pocket. The classic white iPod is my wife’s best companion on the road, while I can go along just fine with my small screen smart phone.

The Cows That Tidies Up The Messy Movie Tags

Problem is, not all movie files are created the same way. Because there are many resources that you can use to get your movies; such as buying them from online store, downloading them using torrent, or ripping them from CDs/DVDs; you will also get many different tagging systems.

How to Add Tags in Windows Files For Quick and Easy Searching

By | May 17, 2010 |

windows-taggedSearching for files or folders in Windows can be a bit tricky, if you are not aware of the location where the file or folder is stored. You can use the search box from Windows start menu and search for a file, folder, program etc, but there are some problems with the default Windows file search:

1. Windows search is always very generalized – either you get a lot of results or nothing at all. In some cases, it takes some time to hunt down the exact file which you are searching for.

2. Windows search is slow and if you have disabled indexing of files and folders, it’s even slower.

3. Windows search is of no use when you do not remember the name of the file in question.

Manage Your MP3s In Mac with Tagr

By | March 15, 2009 |

00-tagr-iconCollecting music in this era has become much easier. People don’t have a big room with wall shelves full with cassettes and discs anymore. Instead, almost everything has been converted to digital file and is tucked inside a digital storage. Saving real storage space, searching time and eliminating the pile of dust.

On the other side, the convenience of digital music raises another problem: digital file management. Take a peek into your music collection, how many files have their names and information right? Maybe it’s far less than a half. If your collection consists of less than a hundred MP3s, the process of tidying up the wrong names would be a breeze. But everybody I know has thousands of tunes in their library.

Keep Your File List Fresh – Mac Only

By | February 21, 2009 |

00-fresh-iconHere are three among many things I really hate about files downloaded from the internet:

- sometimes they use extremely crazy name such as “ad724bcb-0e34-b538-b712-1e4cc553c114.flv” or “ix5rba2UjXQ.mp4″ (They are real names, I didn’t make them up).

- sometimes they are saved not with the date they were downloaded but with the date they were created.

- sometimes they are saved in the unknown location.

Now, here’s the reasons: the files becoming difficult to find. I can’t use “Find” because I don’t know the name, I can’t use sorting by date because the possibilities are endless, and I can’t do manual search either because the location is unknown. Then after a while, they are totally forgotten.
