Ubuntu : Install Sun java 6

Ubuntu has dropped including Sun/Oracle Java in its repository, and added OpenJDK. But, the former is more reliable than latter, and is also must for some applications.
Here is a way to add Sun java 6:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer

Possible error : "couldn't connect to host"

To make this version as default: here.

If you want to install java 7, instead of last command try

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

If you are under proxy network or seen a error like

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:webupd8team/java'.
Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.

and if you are sure that the PPA is working, the try

sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

and proceed with remaining commands.

JavaScript - Singleton Pattern

The singleton design pattern is probably the simplest and most common pattern in JavaScript. So why should you use the singleton pattern? Encapsulation of members & functions Creates its own Namespace A singleton is a single instance object Encourages code reuse Improves readability because you can logically organise your code The point of a singleton is to only have one instance. A shopping cart is a good example of something that you may want only a single instance of at one time. The simplest form of Singleton is an object literal. This loose form of Singleton cannot be instantiated. All of the members are now accessible through the Singleton variable, accessible through dot notation. var myCart = { self: this , totalCost: 0, totalQty: 0, cart: {}, getCart: function (){ }, updateCart: function (){ } }; alert( "Total cost: ...

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.

Comment your workaround below, mine is the first one. If you are still on Mavericks, be there till Apple provides a fix for this.
