Generate Color Palettes From Your Images For Free!

During designing process, have you ever come in such a situation where you had to decide what colors to use to theme around a certain image say logo or banner etc. Will you select a color picker and point out every color used on that image one by one? That is not a good option, is it?

Mailchimp, the leading E-mail marketing solutions provider company, has come up with a solution for that in the form of a service named Pictaculous. Just upload any image, and it will fetch the colors from it and display the color palette, so you can stick to that color scheme to bring uniformity to your designs.

In addition to this, it also shows different palettes from sites such as Adobe Kuler and COLOURlovers. Below is an option to get color schemes exported in adobe swatch format, for further convenience.

Pictaculous also works on your Phone. Just email the picture to color@mailchimp.com and get a reply within few minutes. A preview of what you will get on a reply can be seen on the right.

After using it, I am sure that you will forget your current color picker tool.

Got HP 540, My First Other Than Desktop PC
Few days ago, I have decided to buy a laptop as sitting all the time in front of the desktop PC knocked me off, which turned out in severe back pain, and neck ache. So after searching for some substitute, I came across HP 540, which was fulfilling most of my requirements and was under my budget too. So without further wait, I bought it.

Naturally, as may be expected from one like me going to have hands-on with his very first Notebook, I was very excited too to get my machine out of its box, before which I took some shots of to fulfill my little wish of making that moment a memorable one. Here they are.

I installed Ubuntu and XP side by side, by installing Ubuntu under windows XP with Wubi. It deserves to be told to you that Ubuntu picked up and was running in no time with all the drivers working, had power setting optimized by default etc. While in XP, I had to go through all the 'this n that's manually. And the touch scroll also doesn't work in XP.

With its 1280×800 WXGA display, I can open a Firefox window side by side with another window of either Windows Explorer, Gtalk or Net Meeting etc. I have my browser resized to approx 1024×768 resolution (which i am used to).

Sound and graphics are good, but the sound gets a little choppy when set to max and played on internal speaker. However, I listen to music with headphones usually, in which the sound works great.

Although I've got a drivers CD from the shop where I bought the laptop i.e. Galaxy.pk, but there were mistakenly some wrong Audio and Bluetooth drivers in that CD. But thanks to the official HP site took me out of this problem. After some initial struggle with laptop settings and functions now I am running it with great peace of mind.

And last but the very good thing for me is the battery time which is officially announced to be 2.5 hours, which with little adjustments, can be extendable to nearly 3.5 hours. Which is good if not great for anyone who lives in a city like Karachi.

I will recommend buying this laptop to anyone having limited cash in his/her pocket, and who wants nothing less than the great Core2Duo.
