How To Take A Screenshot on Your iPhone

Computers & Electronics

Well this might seen like an impossible thing to do but actually, once you know how, it is pretty simple. This can be really useful if you want to write instructions about something or if you just want to email what you can see on your phone to someone else. In any case there are many reasons why you may want to take a screenshot on your iPhone!

So, all you need to do, once you have the screen that you want a picture of, is to hold down the power button on the top of the phone and at the same time press the ‘home’ button that is the circular one on the front of the phone at the bottom. This will save the screenshot to your camera roll.

When is the Ratchet & Clank Collection Released For PS3?

Games

A new, high definition version of 3 Ratchett & Clank games that were previously on the PS2 are being released at the beginning of September. The games, which are produced by Sony Entertainment, are remastered versions of: Ratchet & Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

The collection is due for release in the Uk in May 2012, although the release date is set for the US is 1 September 2012, and you can preorder the games from Amazon and in doing so you will be able to get the games at the lowest possible price with their preorder price guarantee. If the price is lowered between the time you pre-order and the time of release, you will pay the lower price.

So it is worth pre-ordering the games now so that you will not miss out on the first release of the HD versions of Ratchet & Clank.

What is Pinterest?

Internet, Social Networks & Online Communities

Pinterest is one of the newest of what can be classed as a social media site but with a bit of a difference. It could actually be grouped with sites like reddit and stumbleupon (and quite a few others too numerous to mention) but it seems to have captured people’s imagination a little better.

The key point of pinterest is that it is a kind of virtual pinboard for people to post things. But the way that it has been set up might be the key. In effect you ‘pin’ a picture to the pinterest board in a category that is relevant to the picture or web page that it came from. Others can see whatever you have pinned and if they like it they can ‘repin’ it.

If you are someone with a website then this can drive traffic to your site if people repin your page or picture in large numbers. If you can get something eye catching and useful that is pinned then it will get read and repinned quite a bit.

You can pin something by linking in with your twitter or facebook account or you can apply for a pinterest account where you will be put on the waiting list!

Is pinterest the new facebook or twitter though? If it continues to take off as it has then who knows?

Calorie Free Sugar

Food & Drink, , ,

If you are struggling to reduce the amount of sugar that you eat – whether that be in tea and coffee, on cereal etc – then there is an alternative available that is both free from calories and also does not contain any artificial sweeteners.

This also benefits those who are trying to get pregnant, or who are pregnant (or in fact anyone), who are not happy with the possible side effects of manufactured sweeteners like aspartame or saccharin. Although there have been no proven links to artificial sweeteners causing cancer or problems in pregnancy, rumours still abound and some feel it is better to be safe than sorry and not to use artificial products in excess.

The new sweeteners are made from the stevia leaf and  so are a completely natural product. Products such as Truvia are now available and they taste very much like sugar, but without the calories, albeit at a much higher price.

The stevia leaves are steeped in water, like when you make tea, which brings out the sweet flavour. The resultant granules are actually much sweeter than sugar in terms of how much you need to use. Just adding a third of a teaspoon of Truvia is like adding a full teaspoon of sugar into your daily brew.

 

Making Easter Eggs

Food & Drink, Fun Stuff,

if you are thinking of making your own Easter eggs then now if the time to make sure that you have everything that you need. There are loads of molds/moulds available either in just the usual egg shape or else you can go for something else and make say, a chocolate Easter bunny.

Ordering your moulds from somewhere like Amazon means that you can get the molds at the best prices and in time for you to start making your chocolate eggs before Easter is upon us.

Making Easter eggs with the kids can be great fun whether you make a whole host of small eggs maybe for a treasure hunt or if you make big Easter eggs for friends and family.
