Notepad Trick
In on of my previous post, i shared notepad trick allowing the user to format its hard disk y just clicking a file created using notepad ! In this post, however i have decided to compile the entire list of notepad tricks instead of writing separate posts for each one of them (which is really a pain in the ass :p). Here goes the top 10 notepad tricks :This is one of the most popular notepad tricks because of its mysterious nature. In order to get an idea as to what this trick does, just follow the steps given below:
* Open Notepad.
* Type “BUSH HID THE FACTS” or “this app can break” (without quotes).
* Save that file with any name and close it.
* Open It Again to see the magic.
Reason For This Behavior: It is known as the 4335 Rule. It means that if we enter four words separated by spaces, wherein the first word has 4 letters, the next two have three letters each, and the last word has five letters. Then Notepad Automatically hides the text into unknown code.
2. World Trade Center Attack Trick
As you might be knowing that the flight number of the plane that had hit World Trade Center on that dreadful day (9/11) was Q33NY. Now call this trick a coincidence or something else but whatever it is, it does startle us.
* Open Notepad.
* Type “Q33N” (without quotes) in capital letters.
* Increase the font size to 72.
* Change the Font to Wingdings.
You will be amazed by the findings.
3. Make A Personal Log-Book or A Diary
Did you know that you can also use Notepad as a simple digital diary or a personal Log-Book ? Well, if you didn’t then follow the below mentioned steps to make one for yourself !
* Open Notepad.
* Type .LOG (in capital letters) and hit enter.
* Save it with any name and close it.
* Open it again.
When you open the file again you will see the current date and time being inserted automatically after the .LOG line. This will happen automatically every time you reopen the the notepad file.
4. Test Your Anti-Virus
You can also test your anti virus program for its effectiveness using a simple notepad trick. Follow the steps below to know more:
* Open Notepad.
* Copy the code give below in the notepad file:
X5O!P%@AP[4PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
* Save it with an .exe extension like testvirus.exe
As soon as you save this file, your anti virus program will detect the file (virus) immediately and will attempt to delete it. If this happens then your Antivirus is working properly. If not, then its time to look for some other reliable program.
5. Continually pop the CD Drive
* Open Notepad.
* Copy the code given below onto the notepad file:
Set oWMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.OCX.7?)
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
do
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
End If
wscript.sleep 5000
loop
* Save it as “Anything.VBS”.
Now open the file and see the magic! The file will continuously force the CD rom to pop out! And If you have more than one then it pops out all of them!

Thats it. Just open the file to see the matrix effect right before your eyes!
7. Change The Header/Footer Of Your Notepad File

9. Shut-down The Computer After Conveying Any Message

Rapidshare Files
Rapidshare is still one of the most popular file hosting solutions on the Internet although their latest changes to the system have angered many long time users of the service. The reduction of the daily download quota for Rapidshare premium users and the speed decrease for free users are the two main points that have angered many Rapidshare users.
Users have many different options to find files that are hosted on Rapidshare. Some of these methods include the use of specific Google search parameters that will only search Rapidhshare for the files and file types that the user specified in the search.
Other options include so called Rapidshare Search Engines which maintain their own database of files that are hosted at the file hoster. They usually keep the databases up to date and link directly to Rapidshare for easy file access.
There is another type of site that is offering Rapidshare searches, not nearly as effective as the sites that maintain their own database. So called Google custom search engines do nothing else than to combine the advanced search parameters of Google with a custom search engine that is bringing in revenue for the creator of the search engine. They can normally be identified by looking at the search button. If that button states Google Search you know that it is a custom Google search and not a website with its own database.
If you want to find Rapidshare files you can use the following Rapidshare search engines that all use their own database.
Rapidshare Files
- Rapidshare Search Engine [link]
- One Click Files[link]
- Mega Download [link]
- File Crop [link]
- Rapid TVPHP [link]
- Files Tube [link]
- Rapidzilla [link]
- RS Rapidshares [link]
- RS Find [link]
- Rapidshare Data [link]
It is easy to find hundreds of Rapidshare files search engines on the Internet but most of them provide no benefit over a normal Google search. Those ten websites in the list are unique.
PC TV
This article describes the possibilities of PC TV, which simply means to watch tv on the pc. Have you encountered a situation like the following before? Great the next match of my favorite sports team will not be shown on free tv. Actually it will not be shown at all in my country, except for satellite of course. If you encounter situations like this one and always thought there would be no other solution than to watch boring live tickers on internet sites, then you have come to the right place that brings you the solution called PC TV.
I will describe three freeware programs that let you connect to channels that stream tv and especially live sports events. This includes all major european football (soccer) leagues, champions league, uefa cup, espn, wrestling, national team matches, boxing matches aso.
You also find regular tv stations like mtv and custom stations like gamers tv there.

PC TV
All you need to watch pc tv is a computer with the latest windows media player and / or real player. A broadband connection is desired for best results. All three programs to watch pc tv have been produced in Asia making it hard to read the websites. Those websites offer tv program lists among other information.
First, let us take a look at some options in media player and real player:
Start the media player, make sure you use the latest version. Right-Click and select Options from the menu. Click on Performance and Change the Buffer Size of Content to 30 seconds.
In real player you select Tools -> Preferences and click on the General -> Playback Settings. The setting Buffer up to 30 seconds is at the bottom of this window.
Stream formats:
mms:// and .asx open with windows media player
rtsp:// and .rm / .ram open with real player
Starting Streams manually:
Sometimes you need to start streams manually. Use the stream formats information to figure out the program to use.
On windows media player choose File -> Open Url or the shortcut ctrl + u
On real player choose File -> Open
PC TV Programs
Download from the above link, unzip, start. A channel list will be displayed. Double-click a channel and windows media player should start and begin buffering and displaying.
Just download and run the installation script on pplive. Its all in English, no need to worry. You need the pplive channel list for it, it does not come with a loaded list.
Download from the above location. This one has an installation script that is unfortunatly producing lots of gibberish. The buttons are designed like in every other windows installation script. (left button, choose a directory, 3x middle button). The Channel list is on the left, you see the channel name, the quality of the stream in Kb per second and the users connected to the channel.
If I had to choose one of them I?d defiantly choose ppStream which has the best interface and good user rates and a nice overall stream quality.
Popular PC TV Channels:
| channel | content | language |
| CCTV5 | european soccer, other sport events. | Asian ? |
| ESPN | All major us leagues, european soccer + more | English |
| Games Tv (ppstream) | professional game play, tournaments, mags | Asian ? |
| Soccer Demo | soccer | Asian ? |
| Sport Italia | Italian Sports Channel | Italians |

Watching PC TV on your computer has never been easier than these days. Users can pick a wide variety of applications that bring pc tv to their computer without having to pay a dime.
5 Rapidshare Search Engines
Rapidshare is a file hosting goldmine if you know how to search it properly. There are basically two ways to do that. First, you can use Google search parameters to search Rapidshare. Several websites offer a basic search interface that does nothing more than to add the parameters to your searches and display the Google search results. Then there is a different kind of website that has its own database and performs searches using it.
The second kind of site tends to be more up to date because they use several sources for finding new Rapidshare files including user submitted ones. I do not like the first kind of sites to search Rapidshare that much because I can enter those parameters by myself into a search engine like Google and get the desired results.
To be able to compare the Rapidshare search engines I have performed searches for the terms “video”, “avi” and “windows”. Finding files is one thing but finding working files on file hosting websites and keeping the file database up to date deleting files that have been removed from the file hosting website properly is another. This has also been born in mind.
I did check three results for each search term, namely the first, fifth and tenth entry to see if the links were not broken.
A basic search engine and site that does nothing more than to offer a search form and a results page.
Video: More than 5000 results. Gave no exact number unfortunately. All three results that I tested were valid and could be downloaded.
Avi: This search revealed more than 5000 results as well. All three results worked fine.
Windows: The search revealed 2096 results, the test downloads were working.
Removed because of Zango Ads on site
Removed as well.
Offers Web and Database search for files hosted on Rapidshare. Offers additional functions that increase the value of this service. Has a Rapidshare link checker for instance and offers keyword email updates.
Video: 1471 links were found in their database for the term video. Passed all three test downloads.
Avi: Not found in their database.
Windows: 2100 links found for the term Windows. All three downloads were working fine.
A basic search engine that seems somewhat slow at this time. You can limit the file size of the files that are displayed in the search results. Users can report broken links.
Video: 500+ results found. All three tests were working.
Avi: 500+ results found. All three tests successful.
Windows: 500+ results found. All three tests successful.
Is not displaying the amount of search results. Search is tag driven and the file size is shown for each file. Is listing dead files as well, wonder what that is good for. Great Speed.
Video: Does not list the amount of results. Test were fine.
Avi: Does not list the amount of results. Test were fine.
Windows: Does not list the amount of results. Test were fine.
Alternatives:
The alternative Rapidshare Search Engines have been added because some of the initial sites have been deleted or added malicious software to their sites.

On Monday Microsoft announced that its Xbox 360 game console will also have Twitter and Facebook interfaces. That means while playing your favourite games you will be able to tweet and update your status on both Facebook and Twitter. As the Xbox UK site states this feature is coming soon (Autumn 2009).
I think by launching this service Microsoft is re-inventing the couch potato phenomenon. Because now socializing will become easy for those people also who do hardcore gaming while resting on their comfortable couch seats. Yes this is a reflection of how our daily lives are influenced by social media and that too online.

Because now socializing will become easy for those people also who do hardcore gaming while resting on their comfortable couch seats. Yes this is a reflection of how our daily lives are influenced by social media and that too online.
I already feel this new feature to be a hit but looking at the cost it may be a bit heavy on your pocket. Since an Xbox Live Gold subscription will be required to use either service after the expiry of the free trial. A Gold subscription costs $50 per year which includes online play, Netflix streaming, etc.
I am waiting for the time when this new feature will hit the Xbox 360 systems and what will be its effect on social media. If you have any comments on this new feature please be kind to share with us. Here is the link to the official Xbox UK website
Orkut Now Comes To facebook

This application brings you your very own Orkut profile to your Facebook account! You dont have to provide any login or password. All you specify is your Orkut Profile URL!
You just have to add the orkut application to your facebook profile and provide your orkut profile id and then this application will let you share your Orkut Profile, Photos, Scraps with your Facebook friends.
