Stylecaster Acquires Beauty Tool

Interactive fashion community StyleCaster has acquired facial recognition startup and beauty tool Daily Makeover. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but StyleCaster says that the company has raised an additional $2 million in funding.

StyleCaster aims to be a one-stop-shop for fashionistas. The online fashion community encourages users to share photos of their styles, and lets users access style tips optimized for each individual, news, videos and content on the latest fashion and beauty trends.

Daily Makeover’s proprietary facial recognition technology lets women upload a picture of themselves (or use a model’s picture) and then try on makeup, fashion and hair styles virtually. Women can try on specific brands of makeup, clothes and more in all different shades and styles. The site has powered more than 50 million virtual makeovers since 1999.

StyleCaster says it has seen its traffic triple since last year and with the acquisition, the startup will double its revenue and its team size. The new funding will be used to further scale the team, particularly in sales. -techcrunch.com

Guide to Partition Your Hard Drive

Disk partitioning divides the data storage space of a hard disk into separate areas referred to as 'partitions'. Partitions are usually created when the hard disk is first being prepared for usage. Once a disk is divided into partitions, directories and files may be stored on them.

Hard disk partitioning tools will allow you to create additional partitions from existing ones by resizing the existing partitions and creating empty, un-used space on which you can create new partitions. The most important aspect of such tools is their ability to do this without losing your data that is currently on your existing partitions. Such tools allow you to create and format these new partitions.

Most tools will let you convert a partition from one file type to another, i.e. from NTFS to FAT/FAT32 or vice versa. Needless to say that in most cases, such a conversion, especially from NTFS to FAT/FAT32 will cause the files to lose their NTFS permissions (ACLs), and in some cases where EFS was used to encrypt the files, it will actually cause you to lose access to these files. So beware!
