Don't be fooled by this slick ninja! Looks can deceive! For one, it's actually a 4GB thumb drive completely encased in a removable water-resistant silicone jacket. Secondly, it also conceals secret magnets that let it climb right up (ferrous) walls! Be aware: this USB 2.0 drive can hold 4 gigabytes of songs, photos, videos, term papers and more.

Google's newest Easter Egg drops a flurry of snowflakes on the results page and quickly frosts up the screen when you query "let it snow." You can wipe away the frost by using your curser as an ice scraper or pressing the "Defrost" button, which appears in place of the blue "Search" button.

The single most necessary methods in gaining better site's ranking in Google search results is to make sure that its full of rich information which consists of relevant keywords, used properly, that show the topic of your content.
Nevertheless, some webmasters try to boost their page's ranking and attract site visitors by generating pages with lots of words but almost no authentic content. Google will take action against domains that attempt to rank more highly by just displaying scraped or other auto-generated pages that do not add any value to users.
For example:
Thin affiliate sites: These sites collect pay-per-click (PPC) revenue by sending visitors to the websites of affiliate marketing programs, while offering almost no value-added content or service to the user. These websites normally have no original content and could be cookie-cutter sites or templates without any unique content.
Doorway pages: Pages created only for search engines
Auto-generated content: Content generated programatically. Usually this will contain random paragraphs of text which make no sense to the audience but that could contain search keywords.
Scraped content: Some webmasters make use of content taken from other, more reputable websites on the idea that improving the number of web pages with random, irrelevant content is an excellent long-term strategy. Only scraped content, even from high-quality sources, might not provide any added value to your users without additional useful services or content given by your site. It's worthwhile to take the time to create original content that sets your site apart. This will keep your visitors coming back and will provide useful search results.
There is no problem in being an affiliate if you create some added value for your users and create useful content that offers a user a reason to visit your website. For instance, you may create product reviews, ratings, and product comparisons.

Some of our most memorable moments happen around food. We don’t just eat for nutrition; meals are a vehicle for conversations, romance, ideas, family, exploration, and so much more. Let’s give our meals the Evernote treatment they deserve.
Evernote Food is all about preserving the experiences, thoughts and memories that accompany food. The app is simple, elegant and a whole lotta fun to use. Plus, it’s free!
Let’s get started
Everything in Evernote Food is contained within Meals. Each Meal consists of a meal title, as many photos as you like, photo captions, venue (choose from a list or add your own), notes, and tags. When you add a bunch of photos to a Meal, the app takes on a “T” shape, with horizontally swipeable photos along the top and meal information displayed vertically.
Related notes
At the bottom of the meal, the app displays any related notes you have in Evernote. These are notes created around the same time. They might be faces of people you met using Evernote Hello or notes you took in Evernote.
Sharing
Like everything is Evernote, we’re focused on helping you save and relive your memories. Food memories are often social, so we built in Facebook, Twitter and email sharing into the app. When you share the meal, your friends will see all the photos, captions and impressions you had about the experience.
Endless possibilities
Here are a few simple scenarios and how Evernote Food helps you capture them.
The night out
You’re having dinner out with friends. Launch Evernote Food as you walk into the restaurant and snap a photo of the awning. Find the restaurant from the Places screen. Next, take photos of all the dishes, your friends, the wine, and anything else that inspires you. Add captions to each of the photos by tapping on the photo. Type in some general notes and thoughts about the meal.
Family meals
Whether you’re hosting a big family meal or visiting relatives for the holidays, there’s always something to remember. Use Evernote Food to record your cooking process, or take notes of conversations that happen around the table.
Developing a recipe
Developing a delicious recipe takes time. Evernote Food makes the process much easier. Create a new meal and title it with the name of the dish you’re working on. Take photos every step of the way and caption them with measurements and instructions. In the notes section, add more information about the dish along with tips and ideas.
Traveling
Some of our most thrilling food experiences happen while traveling. Use Evernote Food to remember them all. Title your meals with the location, then snap photos of the sights, everything you eat, and everything else that you want to save for later.
Tracking what you eat
Evernote Food can be used as a simple food tracker. Create a Meal for each day. Take a photo of what you eat and food labels, then type in ingredients and calorie information into the caption, and include totals in the notes section.
All synchronized with Evernote
All of your meals in Evernote Food are synchronized with Evernote so that you can view them from any device or computer. They show up beautifully laid out in Evernote, perfect for viewing across all of your devices.
At this time, notes created in Evernote Food are read-only in Evernote. If you want to make changes, just open the Meal in Evernote Food.
Remembering people is hard. It’s hard because the tools we use are at odds with how our brains actually work. We’re wired to tell stories. In order to recall the who, we also need the when, where andwhy. We need more than address books full of alphabetical lists. We need context. That’s why today, we’re launching our new application that’s going to make it easier than ever to remember people.
Evernote Hello is based around the three fundamental ways that our brains actually remember people:
Faces: What do you look like?
Time: When did we meet?
Context: Why did we meet and who else was there?
That’s all there is to it. Whether you’re at a big conference, catching up with people at a coffee shop or joining a meeting in your office conference room, these concepts hold true. Here’s how it comes together.
Adding someone to Hello
When you meet someone new, launch Evernote Hello, tap on the big plus button and hand over your phone. They’ll quickly create a profile and then hand the phone back. Now, you’ll have their name, photo and whatever contact information they wish to share. If you’d prefer not to hand your phone over, just enter this information yourself, but then again, watching someone take pictures of themselves is pretty fun.
If the person enters their email address, then Evernote Hello will automatically send them an email containing your information. This way, the people you meet benefit from you using the app.
The photo
Taking the photo is the coolest part of the process. Tapping the button turns on the front-facing camera and instructs the user to lift the phone to eye level (or higher). Once there, the camera automatically snaps four quick photos. The app uses the photos to lightly animate the individual’s face in the Mosaic (more on that soon).
Encounters
As soon as you add an individual to Evernote Hello, the app automatically creates an Encounter with this person. An Encounter consists of the person’s profile, the location of your meeting and any additional information you’d like to add that will make the event more meaningful for you later. The app lets you attach photos and notes to your encounters.
It will even scan your calendar to anticipate who you might be at the meeting with to make it easier to add them to the app. If you want, you can export a profile to your address book by tapping on the chevron near the person’s name, then tap on the address book icon.
The next time you meet the person, you can add an additional Encounter by tapping on the option at the top of this screen. You can even add new photos of the person, if you’d like. Now you’ll have a running history of every time you’ve met, along with a bunch of useful information to jog your memory.
Related notes from Evernote
This is where things get really interesting. Evernote Hello will automatically display notes made in Evernote or Evernote Food around the same time as your encounter. Say you met someone at a conference (Evernote Hello) and had lunch with them (Evernote Food), all the while taking notes on your laptop (Evernote). The app will show you everything when you view this person in Evernote Hello—even more context.
The Mosaic
Our brains have evolved to think about faces, so we built a face-centric interface called the Mosaic. All of the people that you’ve met are displayed in a chronological, vertically swipeable view. Tap on a face to reveal your encounters with that person.
All synchronized with Evernote
All of your Evernote Hello entries are synchronized with Evernote so that you can view them from any device or computer. This means that you can search for people inside of Evernote. When you’re trying to find a particular note that you created during a meeting with someone, you can search for them and then look for notes created around the same time. More context!
For the time being, the notes created by Evernote Hello are read-only inside of Evernote. If you want to make changes, view the encounters and people from Evernote Hello.
Settings
Here are few nice things hidden away in the Settings area that you should be aware of. To view Settings, swipe down on the Mosaic screen.
Go to Settings to make changes to your own profile
Tap on the gear in your profile to create a custom greeting that appears when you hand over your phone
Link Evernote Hello to your calendars and it will build more information into your encounters
You can also choose whether or not the app will automatically send an email to the person, sharing your contact information with them
Memory and shared experiences
The Evernote Hello approach is focused on visuals and narrative. For example, if you’re trying to remember the name of someone you met at a big company meeting, tap on the face of anyone else you met at the same time. That will show you the encounter along with all the other people that you met together. By exploring these shared experiences, you’re able to find the people you want and strengthen your own memory.
