| Exploring Japan’s Abandoned Haikyo & Its Effect On Communities [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 15 Sep 2014 06:30 PM PDT  As with any populous country that’s experienced a shift in demographics over the past century or so, Japan is littered with abandoned locations devoid of human population – a phenomena known as “haikyo”. Urban exploration involves actively seeking out and documenting these places in photographs and videos for all to see. Enthusiasts risk personal safety and being caught by authorities to bring the rest of us some amazing sites. Here are some highlights from Japan, home to some of the oddest abandoned locations.

| 5 Top Yoga Channels On YouTube That Help You Beat Stress Posted: 15 Sep 2014 11:00 AM PDT  After a stressful day, a few minutes of yoga can mean the difference between anxiety and rest.

Beginners and veterans alike can modify their routines to best suit their own physique. If you’re in a rush, you can squeeze in a 5-minute routine; if you have an open hour, you...

| 7 Handy Tasks QuickTime Player Performs for Free Posted: 15 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  When it comes to the wide variety of apps and tools available on a Mac, QuickTime Player is often overlooked. It can’t hold a candle to VLC’s usefulness and is usually opened by mistake when you click on a .MOV file. You’ve probably changed the file association so QuickTime never gets used, so you’ve probably overlooked its bounty of useful features. QuickTime is better than you think, and performs many tasks you’d expect from premium software for free. You might think differently about this bundled freebie once you’ve seen what it can do! Movie Recording When you have QuickTime open, and it is sitting in the dock, simply... Read the full article: 7 Handy Tasks QuickTime Player Performs for Free |
| 3 Ways To Add Your Audio-Only Podcast To YouTube Posted: 15 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT  One great way of maximising the profile of your podcast is to feature it not only on your website and iTunes, but also on YouTube. However, there is a problem: the world’s 3rd biggest website will not let you upload audio without an accompanying video. So, how do you get around this? Well, the obvious route (short of reformatting your podcast into a video only affair, perhaps over Google Hangouts if there are co-podcasters, and also stripping the audio to upload to iTunes) is to add video – or, more precisely, an image – to your audio track, which can then...

| Have $20? Here’s 10 Things To Improve Your Gaming Life Posted: 15 Sep 2014 07:00 AM PDT  Gaming can be an expensive hobby. New consoles cost hundreds of dollars, new games are sixty bucks a pop (even more in Australia and certain European countries), and accessories can bleed your wallet dry. Yet there are some great gaming values available for only $20. Tightening your budget means you can’t have the latest and greatest, but you may be surprised what you can buy for a third the price of a brand new AAA title. Gaming Headset A headset is absolutely essential for any multi-player game that requires communication. While the best models are over $100, a basic USB... Read the full article: Have $20?
