Guys, this video is awesome! An unknown Chinese farmer has built a small, homemade airplane named as “Shanzhai Glider” from what looks like lawnmower and accessory parts!
Just watch as he takes off from his homemade airplane.
Obviously, the flight has been judged improper and so no information could be found of who the guy really is, but I guess who ever made this Shanzhai Glider was perfectly happy risking his life for his own invention.
I was not that impressed with the earlier versions of Dragon Naturally Speaking, but this Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 is the latest version which can translate your speech to text with more than 99% accuracy! I was also amazed when I checked out this video.
Amazing, isn’t it? This software can really help you Type at 150 WPM for $99! You can type your documents, emails, and instant messages and even can help you surf net just by talking to your computer with this software! Just go through the following article from the fellow blogger on “Making Blogging Easier with Dragon.”
Drew of the BenSpark has put together a great little video demonstrating Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Drew has been blogging for quite some time and he might just be one of the best mobile bloggers that I know. He is probably more famous for his picture a day work as he is an excellent photographer. But I can’t help be amazed at how much content he creates and the high level of quality in that content.
He’s definitely a blogger that employs best practices when he finds them. And based on this video, it looks like he might see some potential in Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Now I am not trying to put an endorsement in Drew’s mouth. Time will tell, but I do think he is off to an excellent start.
You’ll notice in his video, that the sound quality of his video is excellent. That’s actually an important aspect for Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I don’t mean that you need good video quality or sound quality in a video to make Dragon NaturallySpeaking work. However you do need a good microphone, and it should be a noise canceling microphone at that. The better the sound quality, and the better able your microphone is to remove other background noises, the better your system will be able to recognize the words that you say as fast as you say them and transcribe them accurately.
Now Dragon NaturallySpeaking comes with a noise cancellation microphone that works very well when you buy it out of the box. Drew is working with a download version that does not come with a microphone, and so he had to supply his own.
As I write this article, I am using a wireless headset microphone from Logitech. I’ve been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for almost two years now, but I’ve just recently untethered myself from Dragon NaturallySpeaking and started using a wireless headset microphone with noise cancellation capabilities. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 does have the capability of working with Bluetooth wireless microphones, but my particular microphone runs on 2.4 GHz wireless technology. Now if you live in a household or work in an office environment where there are a number of systems or phones or microwaves, you may experience some interference with this particular headset. In that case, you will probably be better served with either a Bluetooth headset or a headset that is capable of being plugged directly into your computer through the microphone plug or through USB. I don’t have that issue, and so I do get excellent quality with little to no interference at all.
So if you take an interest in Dragon NaturallySpeaking and want to try it for yourself, I highly recommend that you get a boxed version of the software which you can order from Nuance online. You can even get a good deal on a Bluetooth wireless headset and a bundled option from Nuance. If you’re looking for entry level pricing, you can start using the software and get a headset microphone for as little as $99.
To put that in context, I’ve taken three typing classes over the years to boost my typing speed and spent essentially three semesters practicing at typing. It wasn’t the only thing that I studied, but I spent a lot of time building up my typing skill. With Dragon NaturallySpeaking, you can invest $99, invest an hour installing the software (I’m being very conservative with that time estimate) and as little as 10 minutes training the software to recognize your voice before you can be off and running typing at 150 words per minute!
That is pretty amazing, and well worth the value of $99. Not to mention if you spend a little extra and get a wireless headset microphone, you can pace around your room or your office, you can exercise, or do a number of different things other than sit at a computer desk staring at your computer all day long. $99 basically gives you your freedom.

Last month, I had posted an article about how you can get Free Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 License Code for 100 days. That promotional code seems to have expired, but hey, there’s another one in the market!
Kaspersky is one of the best antivirus software that excels other antivirus softwares like Norton, McAfee, PC-Cillin, Avast, Panda, etc. And if you can get this software completely free of cost for 9 more months, hey won’t that be an irresistible deal!
Kaspersky actually costs as much as $39.95/year. So if you want a free Kaspersky Antivirus license code that works for 9 complete months, then here is what you need to do.
How To Get Free Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 License Code for 9 Months:
Fill the form by entering any details. You can fake the information, but make sure you provide correct email address because that’s where your free KAV 2009 license code is going to come.
You’ll receive a free KAV 2009 license code within a week, which will work for six months.
The shelf life of the promotion keys is 3 months. So to extend it to 9 months, you need to again register for the promotion code (using different address of course), and after three months of using the KAV 2009 antivirus, install the second license code which will further add 6 months life to your KAV 2009 antivirus. Hence, you’ll be able to enjoy 9 months of Kaspersky anti-virus with all update functions completely free!
Note to remember: If you activate both license codes at the same time, you’ll not get more than two additional weeks after your 6 months license code expires. So DO NOT activate both license codes at the same time. Just install the first license code, and wait for three months to install the second license code for a total of 9 month of free Kaspersky Antivirus 2009! So what are you waiting for? Go get your free KAV 2009 License code!
If you haven’t used Kaspersky Antivirus before and want to use it, here is the download link.
