New Photosphere on MTK 6575 or Karbonn A18

A few days back I came across a blog post on internet that said Photosphere, the latest feature only available on 4.2 Jelly bean android OS could be made to work on any phone with 4.0 or greater.

I have seen photosphere images on Google+ earlier, they were really awesome!! And I wanted Photosphere on my mobile right away. As described in earlier blog I followed every step and got it installed my phone.

Once installed I see that all features of the camera were working fine except the photosphere. :(

I also got to know that it works only on phones which have gyroscope sensor mine didn't have one.

Thats it for now.

Shutdown PC/Laptop at given time

Some times I would be working on some thing and I want my Laptop to be shutdown automatically at a given time. I know what you are thinking if you are a Linux geek, set a cron job entry like so:

$ crontab -e
10 10 * * * (shutdown -rn now)

Hmm ok... that was easy ! Now how about windows. You can either use task scheduler or you can use following command.

at 1:30am shutdown -s -f
