Dead Drop
The Dead Drop project aims to 'un-cloud' your data. The idea employs peer to peer file sharing as an offline, unconnected, service. Anyone may stud their wall with a USB directly cemented into it with only the metal port showing and easily accessible by pubic yet being unmodified by any software and with read-write access. This will enable any passer by to connect their laptop computer(s) to the USB and download or upload files to the storage. This takes the freedom of distribution of information to the physical, free, public space; the city. A collection of stand alone storage devices with total freedom to distribution of data as the project's manifesto states. Although the freedom of distribution has not been breached that much by anti piracy acts but some fear it to be breached by governments' access to the cloud servers. The Dead Drop project seems to resolve a non intricate, yet raw but effective, reaction to that.

Pring seamlessly patches technologies
Pring is an sms based social network that connects users over multiple technologies (SMS, Internet, Mobile / Notebook browsers) and also offers to update and integrate the traditional social networks on the go. This, in my opinion, is another life hack.
Pakistan is a country which uses multiple technologies and hosts all kinds of users. SMS, however, has turned out to be Pakistan's favourite. So much so that the mobile carriers started cut throat competition to reduce SMS prices to the limits they were never seen before. Pakistan became one of the world's largest SMS bandwidth users in 2009. When almost every one had near-free access to a technology such as SMS which was supported on even the cheapest cell phone, a social network based on that technology was not only the way to identify a market need for a swarm of users but it also seamlessly patched them to the rest of the internet.

Juggaar can be dangerous
While it is always frugal to use juggaars and hacks, some of them are very dangerous due to the nature of purpose they serve. Unless safety is kept in mind while using juggaar, they might not be worth it.
Pillar repair with tape takes the duct tape's universal solution to everything to a new level.
Floating slippers to hold the power extension - a really bad idea if it was to slip out of it or pushed into the water by mistake.

What you hate, defines you...
What you hate, defines you just like what you love defines you.
Whether or not you’re going to hate is a separate question; hate can be just as defining as love. Hate, like love, drives change and motivation. As an agent of change, hate can actually improve your situations.
Perhaps hating your job lead you to become an entrepreneur, hating the bureaucracy at educational system made you defy it, maybe hating to see people suffer inspired you to volunteer and make a difference.
Hate drives defiance. It might create the lone, wild and strange Byronic hero out of you but it defines what you value. It gives real meaning to what you care about or believe in.
Defining your line of hatred clarifies what you will not tolerate; what you will not endure or accommodate.
Hate, like love, is focus; it makes you strong and it protects you.
The hate brings about the motivation, clarity to see through the instinctive reactions and focus to solve problems that are not acceptable to you.
When your heart starts to beat faster, it sends a signal to your brain, temporarily shutting it down, your mid-brain takes control; instincts and training take over the rationalization and reasoning - it's fight or flight.
Hating what is unacceptable to you makes you passionate about changing it. This embeds into the subconscious and becomes values. When you only have your instincts and training to define you for the time, values are the only things that are the constitution of the self; like honour; they remind you it is what you would do again every time given the same choice in the same situation.
To hate, like honour and love, is to stand up for your values and beliefs. It is to differentiate your emotions from an adrenaline rush, saying you must stand up for what you believe.
To hate is... perspective. It can be productive or destructive.
The power of hatred, like honour and love, can make your values and beliefs intentional. It can inspire you, it can make you inspire others... to change the things you find unacceptable.
To love is to inspire and to empower. To hate is to reject, to fear, to abandon or to resist. Both emotions define the self.
You can use it to destroy the world, or uphold the one thing that makes you, you - your values.
