How to Make a Folded-Paper CD Case

Those scratched drivers CDs forcing you to download all the drivers again... paper CD case is the simple and less-expensive solution

Steps :-

1. Take one A4 sheet of paper

Center a CD, which you’ll be using as a guide, at the top of a sheet of paper, as shown.



















2. Fold in sides of paper to sides of cd.



















3. Center cd at the middle of the folded paper.



















4. Fold bottom up.



















5. Fold the horizontal creases, which I’ve identified in red, to sides as indicated by arrows, so the creases are even with sides of original folded sides. (I’ve identified the creases in question with dashed lines for illustration.)



















6. You'll have a box-shape sticking up toward you after making the folds in step 5. Just fold this flap down flat as shown below.



















7. Tuck the "ears" that are sticking out to the sides in between the original side folds and the fold created in step 4.



















8. Slip cd into front pocket and fold down top half of paper.



















9. Dog-ear the top two corners of the top half of paper.



















10. Slip top half of paper into pocket.



















The original is pretty generic, but to give your cd holder some pizzazz as well as a personal touch, print labels and photos on the front center of paper.



















Also, there is a CD case for multiple number of CDs on this Link1 or Link2(Instructables.com)

Epic browser - LASA



BANGALORE, INDIA (GaeaTimes.com)- The internet browser war is only hotting up with time. After the new versions of browsers like Opera, Firefox and Chrome a browser with Indian origin has hit the bandwagon. The Epic browser has been made to cater to the need of the Indian web users. The developers of the browsers are of the opinion that it will appeal to the users who want a hassle free web experience for their work. The browser uses the Mozilla engine and it is the first web browser with an integrated antivirus. The browser also comes with a whopping 1500 Indian themes. The users of the browser can use several Indian languages to type.





The makers of the Epic Browser claim that it has faster download speed and browsing too. Since it has an integrated antivirus the browser warns a user when he tries to open a site that can contain malicious codes. This may save his PC from getting infected. It also offers anti phishing features. Like many of the mainstream browsers it also has a private mode which does not store the browsing session or private data of the user. It is the first browser to kill harmful flash cookies that intrudes into a users privacy.

The Epic Browser has been built by Bangalore- based company named Hidden Reflex. The company was set up by the year 2008. The company thinks that owing to its customization features and ease of access it will be lapped up both by newbie and veteran users. The browser has been released in the web.
