To change the screenshot location of Mac OS X, you can execute this command in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /your_desired_path/

For example, if you want to save the screenshot in Documents, use this command:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Documents/

Then, you have to restart the UI Server by:

killall SystemUIServer

If you change your mind to revert to default settings, you can execute the following:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/
killall SystemUIServer

Time to say goodbye to thick wallets.

Coin is a card-shape device that replaces all your Credit, Debit & Gift Cards. It stores all the information within the device, and you can use the card exactly the same way as your current credit card. A small LED screen will allow you to view the cards stored inside, and set the active card. You may wonder if this card requires battery charging frequently? No. Battery of the first prototype lasts for 1 year.

Using Bluetooth LE, it even reminds you if Coin stays away from you for a distance with push notification on your phone. It will then deactivate itself. The retail price of Coin is US$100, now 50% off in pre-order period.

Coin is the future of cards. Agree?

Moreover, the gamepad also acts as charging case, enabling longer gaming time with those battery-draining 3D games.

Yet another good job from Google.

Executive Chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt himself took to the British press to announce that Google has made a big step in ridding its search results of links to underage sexual abuse (with some image detection assistance from Microsoft). Google hired a 200-strong team to work out a solution over the last three months and that their work has already fixed up to 100,000 potential queries. The UK Prime Minister David Cameron has welcomed the news as “significant progress.” He’s also praised Google’s previous set of measures, which displayed a warning to people attempting to search for illegal material and caused a 20 percent drop in illicit activity. For now, Google’s newest improvements are limited to English-speaking countries, including the UK and US, although the search company says it’ll roll out its adjusted search globally over the next six months, covering 158 more languages.

Google did the right thing; this search engine must not be a tool for committing crime. However, we do believe that parental control can be done in a more streamlined way: Identify the user’s age, then filter away unwanted contents.

While books and lectures are essential, there’s nothing like real world experience, and that’s what Facebook’s Open Academy offers to budding software developers. The initiative, which debuted as a pilot program at Stanford, has now expanded to 22 universities’ computer science departments across the globe. It not only gives students a chance to work on real open source projects like Ruby On Rails and Mozilla Open Badges, it also pairs them up with mentors for guidance. Of course, we wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook’s using the program to hunt for gifted devs — or if young hopefuls see it as their entry into one of the best companies to work for. If you’d like to get involved, or bring the program to your university, check out the program’s Facebook page for contact information — but hurry, the 2014 winter session kicks off in February.
