No bootable device Insert bootable device

Don't get panic when you see this thing, and also don't consult customer care or some other repair shop to waste some bucks.

Usually this error will be found when you made a unsuccessful attempt of dual booting your Mac with Windows.

To fix this error, restart your Mac and hold down option key, after hearing chime on booting.

If you don't want to install windows, then select the Mac Recovery partition. Then from the menu on the top, select the boot disk option and select the drive in which Mac is present. Restart and enjoy...

If you wish to install Windows, then insert bootable disk and select the Windows partition that you had created using boot camp, and proceed with installation.

In both cases you will be able to boot normally.

Mac Yosemite : Ugly turned out to be Uglier and Ugliest

You might have read my review on Mac OSX Yosemite , The Good, bad and ugly. Now it turned out to be UGLIEST. No more words. Here's the image. If you are on Yosemite, you might be familiar with it. Most of the times, you get stuck on boot logo. I've seen complaints regarding it saying that fellow members are ignorant of it and they deny such possibility, even though many are still facing it. Workarounds suggested by our online friends: Just reboot your mac as many times it takes to your desktop. Boot into safe mode, by holding SHIFT and then reboot. Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one. If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.

Reverse Engineering : Android Dex files to Class files

In my previous post, we have seen how to extract the contents of img file . After extraction, you will find that most of the files have ".dex" extension. These are Compiled Android application code files. In order to convert them into executable format (.class or .jar), you can use dex2jar tool. Extract it to a proper location and open the terminal to this location. Now run the following command: ./d2j-dex2jar.sh <Path-to-dex_file> It will bundle the dex files into a jar file, and stores it in the current directory. dex2jar can also be used to convert dex files into variuos other formats.
