On mobile youtube app i have to wait for 2 ads to finish. I have to wait for both ads to finish to continue watching. I can skip only one ad. And this is happening for kids videos eg peppa pig, littlebabybum videos.


You might try YouTube kids. It seems to have less ads.


Less ads, and filters non-child friendly content more aggressively I'd say.

Plus it's got a kid-friendly UI (Complete with annoying sounds every time you swipe/tap something).


I work on collecting (ETL) data of European power data sources and supply them to clients via web service (in almost real time). For the client i work on - wrote cloud based distributed ETL system to collect data from approx 100 importers and exporters of power, gas, wind, nuclear. Its quiet possible to collect this data in real time as EU regulations asks each of them to provide data on their websites. For some of the websites - i use selenium which is much better than using webrequest via http/s


Do you have a link with more information about the service?


My client argus media sells this data via product called fundalytics. Get in touch with sales.

We scrape power and gas data from various sources - we are also working on to get fertlizers , bio fuels and other data from across globe.


Can you let us know your paypal account where ppl can send money or any other way to send money to you?


Friend(s) of mine in Mumbai are easily accessible using WhatsApp on their android phone than they were on their home desktop machines and Instant messengers.

Just like other developing countries, I think Next generation of India will be skipping whole desktop and Laptop and move straight to mobile and tablet based computing devices.


Sadly, that means the barrier to actually creating things will be that much higher. That concerns me.


May be im wrong but why not set LIMIT of only X no. of mails can be Sent/Minute via user account.

Find out how many emails people usually send per minute/hour and just DENY relaying anything else over that limit. That way it'll be less profitable for spammers to acquire user account details if he/she can only sent X mails every minute.


I do think that clash of clan is much better than other games i have played so far. I have played other games (dungeon hunter) which asks me to pay up for virtual coins, gems if i have to progress in next set of levels, but with COC i can do just fine without spending any money.

Love COC ;)


While we are at topic of file manager - is there a file system manager for ios devices? I mean i want to browse disk of my iphone & see where and how it arranges files

Is it even possible?


They are correct. iFile works great for giving you a Finder styled file manager inside the idevice. iFile is also the best utility for doing things like decompressing etc.

If you want to see the files inside your phone in a file manager on your computer most people go with OpenSSH/Cyberduck. Personally I like Netatalk which makes your device just show up as though it was an external hard drive and breaks down the folder hierarchy the same any Linux distro.


You need to jailbreak first, then install iFile from cydia. It's not free but it works great.


Any idea how to open non-US requester account?

Right now amazon will only let you signup - if you have US billing address :(


I started with VB6 Back in 2000. It was easy to pickup as my first programming language was gwbasic/qbasic. I really loved event driven development, IDE and easy Compile and run procedure.

IMO VB.net offers almost everything that VB6 has plus extra features of .net libraries. It can also do project conversion from VB to vb.net (upto extent) but as fellow commenters have mentioned there's cost of jumping from VB to VB.NET based windows app. Therefore VB6 will continue to thrive until corporation justify that cost.
