MergePDF is a quick and hassle-free online tool for combining your documents in case you don’t have Adobe Acrobat or other PDF manipulation tools. Users who are in need of a quick PDF merge this tool is a good option though it has some small limitations. You can only work with ten files that are 5MB or less for each merge you perform. After finishing the merge you download the document, the original files will be deleted. This process isn’t as fast if combined them on a local computer with professional software but fine nothing the less.
If you don’t mind these smalls limitations, its a pretty decent solution for everyday use.

Adobe Air applications are one of the most beautiful applications you’ll ever see, mainly because the interfaces look handsomely wicked. This free Adobe Air application Flump lets you download all the photos from a user-specified Flickr account to your hard drive. All you need to do is provide it with the username or the Flickr ID, no passwords of-course and specify it where to save the pictures and after that click Start Flump. It’s quite similar to FlickrDown and Flickr AutoDownloadr. But it beats them down with the simply great interface and the simplicity of get it work, moreover its the only cross-platform app. Flump is free, works wherever Adobe AIR does.

Wondering how to upload all your office documents in your mac to Google Docs at one go! Gdocsuploader is tiny little application that lets you upload your office documents to the cloud in one click. Gdocsuploader is awesome because of the cool drag and drop documents. It snuggly fits into your Dock, Finder sidebar, or desktop. Gdocsuploader is still new and as expected quite buggy. Except some trial and errors before it works properly. Gdocsuploader is a free download for Mac OS X only and its certainly not OS X Tiger friendly.

Nothing’s worse for a photographer then seeing the dreaded “Card Corrupt” or a similar message on your camera’s LCD. A lot of us have gone through that, most of the time you can’t do anything besides crushing the card manufacturer.
Recovering photos from corrupted cards usually impossible. Yet still with some photo recovery programs there’s still a possibility.
Before you use these photo recovery tools I would suggest 3 steps before going through the inevitable.
a. Don’t Panic
Don’t start panicking and start doing things that could further damage the photos. Take a deep breath and slow down. Take the card out of the camera and try it in another camera. Sometimes reinserting the card does the trick in most cases.
b. Don’t format your card
