There are times when a number of small video clips are created when one uses the video function in one’s phone or perhaps you’d like to join together a set of mpg clips created by your digital camcorder. If your camcorder or clips are in the MPEG format, you’re in luck – a simple command line will append and merge the clips into a single large clip allowing you uninterrupted viewing pleasure. This is done by using the COPY command and without the need for any external utility. This method will work for MPG files for sure, but rarely for…

Claimed to be the World’s slimmest laptop, this really is the cool new laptop-kid on the block. I’m not saying it’s as important as shooting a monkey into space, but it’s pretty cool.

DonateYourPC.in is a unique platform to bring together Indian PC and Computer Peripheral donors with NGOs/Schools and people who need computers for education and empowerment. Why Donate? If you’re done getting the most from your PC and are most likely to throw it out, then instead consider donating it to a school or NGO where a person who can’t afford the same can get to use one.
