Hey Orkut! Where are ads?

Ads(advertisements) has been main money and income resource for many websites to cover costs of maintaining a site and providing service and bandwidth. So do Orkut and MySpace. In fact, Orkut has recently added an advertising banner on right sidebar to replace the original Friends’ list.

Orkut is a popular social networking site in many countries like Pakistan, Brasil, India etc. it is by Google. What about MySpace? MySpace used to be the world most famous social networking site 3 years back, it's shine has been surpassed by Facebook recently, remains a popular social networking service in THE US.

Ads may be annoying for frequent Orkut and MySpace users, they make page size heavy and potentially slow down the page loading time. Although it may be unethical to remove and hide ads for free service that one enjoys, as it potentially hampers the ability for the free service to be continuously provided, but for users who want to remove the pesky ads from the MySpace and Orkut websites, it can easily be done with Orkut & MySpace Advertising Remover add-on for Firefox.
MySpace Looks Quiet Nice Without Ads! ;)

To use the plugin, user must use Firefox web browser. Orkut & MySpace Advertising Remover, currently at version 1.0, is an ultra-light plugin removes that advertising banner from Orkut and MySpace.

Download and install Orkut & MySpace Advertising Remover! 1.0 add-on for Firefox.

"mail" is a command to send and receive mail in Unix, Linux and BSD operating system. To initiate a mail sending process, just type in the following command:

mail recipient@domain.com

Replace recipient@domain.com with a valid email address.

The system will prompt for a subject of the email before allowing user to type in the mail message body.

# mail receipent@domain.com
Subject: For Testing Only
This email is for testing the mail delivery system only.
^D (EOT)
Cc:
Once finished typing the email message, press Ctrl-D (shown as ^D in example above), which represents End of Text (EOT). Depending on system, mail may or may not prompt another input request for any recipients to cc (carbon copy) to. Press Enter to skip or accept the input, and get the mail sent.

Tip: If the sender and recipient is on the same system, it’s possible to omit the domain (@domain.com) part of the address, leaving only user name.

It’s also possible to use mail’s arguments or switches to directly send mail without interactive input. For example,

mail -s Test address@domain.com < /dev/null

Command above will immediately send a blank email with empty body to the recipient address with the subject "Test". For more arguments, type "man mail".

If you use Skype and you pay for Skype credit, you can call out from Skype on your computer to normal phones like mobile or landline at a discounted rate. You can also get a “Skype-In” phone number for an additional cost, which is essentially a Skype number disguised as a local land line, so that all calls to that number will be forwarded to your Skype account, allowing you to take the call anywhere and on any computer with Skype installed. This benefits the caller, if Skype is not available, he/she can always contact you simply by dialing your local number or mobile number.

It’s a cool thing, but outside of this site’s staff I don’t have much use for the service, many of my friends are still using AIM for goodness’ sake. That changed today when I signed up for phone numbers to forward calls to my Skype account, and unlike the Skype-In service, they didn’t cost me a single damn buck. Yes!!! the service i am going to tell you today is absolutely free.

Find out how I did it.
If you don’t have a Skype account, please be sure to set up an account with Skype first. You’ll need to provide your Skype ID when you register at Ring2Skype, which is where you get your free “Skype-In” number. There are a lot of countries to choose from, and you may register multiple numbers. For example, I’ve registered numbers in Windsor, Canada and London, UK as well as a US (New York City) number. My friend in Manhattan can call me up as if I lived there. Co-workers in London and Canada can now call me without ringing up international charges.

Here in the US, we have but a few choices as to our number’s calling area. I could get a number (with a three-digit extension) in California, Florida, Maine or New York. Japan’s numbers are limited to Tokyo, and Israel to Tel Aviv. It’s going to be a bit odd giving friends in Louisville my Manhattan number, but these days when long-distance and local calling are often the same price, it shouldn’t be too big a stretch.

There really is no catch. Call quality was as good as a regular Skype, Mig33 or Mobile Phone call. I plan on giving these numbers out to business contacts, and once Google Voice (which I hope to review for you soon) allows forwarding my GV number to extensions, I plan on using this service with friends and family as well.

Try it and let me know your experience with this free voice service in comments,

Hey! believe me, this is no joke. There are still some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) out there offering free internet service. Today we’re going to look at a few ways to find totally free unlimited Internet access.

There are two routes to go here. You can go the WiFi route, which is far more popular and usually in the broadband range for speed. Or, you can go the dial-up route which is slower, however you can access it from the convenience of your own home or maybe from a hotel without WiFi service.

It may be slower, but keep in mind beggars can’t be choosers.

Freedom List

You might be living or travelling outside of the northern two-thirds of North America and be in need of dial-up service. Yes, believe it or not, there is more to the world than North America. I know, shocker isn’t it?! Freedom List offers a, well, list of free ISPs broken down by country. Just take a look! Isn't it impressive?
So, if your WiFi card is broken, or you just can’t sit at the cafe any longer, check Freedom List out.

All Free ISP

All Free ISP has a simple way to access their database and find a service provider near you. A major benefit is that their database covers the United States of America as well as Canada. You are more likely to find free service in the U.S.A. than in Canada, so I was pleasantly surprised to find several providers in my home province of Alberta.

Just go to All Free ISP and select your State or Province. You can also search by ZIP or Postal Code. Then click on our friend, the Go button. I’m also partial to his cousins the Enter and Next button - really handy fellows, the whole bunch.
The website then shows you a page of free and cheap ISPs you can access from your area. Here’s what showed up for me.
See how it breaks the list down into cities? That’s a nice touch. How about the rating system and letting you know what platforms are supported? Pretty nifty. From here, you can click on the name of an ISP and find out more about them. Let’s do that, shall we?
This just shows you a basic overview of the ISP. Really, do I need to explain this? No, exactly! That’s why I like this site. If you go to All Free ISP and follow through to this point, you’ll see that there is way more information than I’m showing here. Based on what they present, you can make an educated guess about whether you want to use this ISP or not.

At this point also, you realize that nothing is really free. If you choose Juno, you’ll be subjected to large banner ads for the privilege of using their service. No different than watching TV really.

Note: Remember, there are always security issues when using a public internet connection. So use it at your own risk.

Twitter is basically a way of posting short messages on the Internet comparable to Text Messages(Sms) but publicly visible and permanent. It is also possible to follow people on twitter so that their messages get automatically displayed in follower's Twitter. That’s the basic concept of twitter which proved to be very popular. Today i will tell you five very useful twitter usersripts, which can be loaded into the web browser in various ways. Probably the most popular and straightforward way is to use the Greasemonkey extension for the Firefox web browser. However it is possible to add userscripts to Opera, Safari or the Google Chrome Browser as well. So read this post with OPEN EYES!

1. Nested Twitter Replies

Twitter users can post replies to messages which are by default just displayed like any other message meaning that they are not grouped together. The Nested Twitter Replies userscript takes care of that by grouping the original message and the replies together.

2. Twitter Live Updater

The Twitter message pages do not get updated automatically which means that users need to refresh them manually to check for new messages. The Twitter Live Updater will refresh the Twitter pages automatically periodically.

3. Twitter2FB

Twitter2FB updates the Facebook status with the Twitter status.

Note: The userscript’s website lists hundreds of Twitter scripts that have been designed to change, add or modify functions and features on Twitter. They can really enhance the Twitter experience for users who regularly write and read messages.

4. Endless Tweets

As you know twitter displays a limited amount of messages per page. Users need to click every time they want to view additional messages. The Endless Tweets userscript will automatically load the next batch of messages when the user reaches the end of the page.

5. Twitter Trends Explained

Twitter trends are topics of public interest that are displayed in the right sidebar of the profile page. This covers a wide variety of topics from technology to politics and environment. There is no explanation on the topic by default which is changed by Twitter Trends Explained.


If you know any other useful twitter userscripts like these 5, please share them with us by writing a small review in post.

OrSiSo is an Adobe AIR application, it is available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. OrSiSo is a social network and chat-network aggregator, which currently supports Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Friendster, Flickr, AIM, Windows Live (MSN) Messenger and Yahoo Messenger.

The main idea of OrSiSo is to organize, keep track of and communicate with all your friends across all these networks. I certainly have been looking for a program which does just this.

Chat:- As an instant-messaging client, OrSiSo doesn’t offer many options, but does well as a chat client, especially with a combined buddy-list from all your networks. It’s worth noting that hyperlinks aren’t yet supported in the chat, I hope that this is fixed in a future release.

Pop-up Alerts:- Pop-up alerts are per network, and are treated like pages which you can flip through if you wish. Hyperlinks work here, and updates can be paused when you’re busy.

Photo albums:- Pics and Photo albums can be viewed from within the program; there’s no need to open a new browser window or tab. That is definitely a very very good feature.

Social Firewall:- The best and most unique features of OrSiSo are so-called the Social Craft and the Social Firewall. These settings let you organize your various “circles” of friends through drag-and-drop lists, and then customize which updates you see. In the example above, I’ve organized everyone into one of four circles, with the fourth circle reserved for persons from whom I don’t particularly care to hear from (I find myself regretting the mass-follow I did a couple months ago). You can filter received messages and updates by social circles just about anywhere in the program.

I’ve found it very user friendly adn easy to learn, use and is very well-rounded with features. Does it do the trick for you?

The Mozilla team has released new version 3.0.11 of the Firefox. The release is currently distributed to all mirror sites but can already be downloaded from various download portals like Betanews or MajorGeeks. The update seems to be a security and stability update if the beta release notes can be trusted. Users are therefor encouraged to update the web browser as soon as possible to fix the security and stability issues that have been encountered in Firefox 3.0.10.

The coverage of Microsoft’s new search engine Bing was quite extensive here on "Everything" but also on many other sites on the Internet. This is going to slow down in the future for sure, Today i am going to tell you 5 great tips that showcase some interesting features that Bing is offering but also should make working with the search engine more comfortable.

1. Remove the Bing background image
Many users think that the background image that is shown on the Bing homepage is more of a distraction than anything else. There is however a very easy way of removing the background image in the search engine to work with a barebone version without the background image. All that needs to be done is to open the Bing homepage with the following parameter:

http://www.bing.com/?rb=0

This will make the homepage show up without the background image which gets rid of the noise and can save some Kilobytes of data transfer as well.

2. Every search is available as an RSS feed

Every search on Bing is also available as an RSS feed which can be very interesting for webmasters who want to monitor their position in the search engine. The web feed will be updated whenever changes in website rankings occur. The feeds can be accessed from the web browser’s toolbars or by pointing a feed reader to the result url and appending

&format=rss

To the results. A search for Windows 7 would be available as an RSS feed from the following url

http://www.bing.com/search?q=windows+7&go=&qb=1&format=rss

3. IP Address lookup

Bing can lookup any IP address using an advanced parameter and display a list of domains that are hosted on that IP address. The parameter to do that is the following:

IP:[IP Address]

Substitute [IP Address] with a valid IP. The query IP:207.46.104.147 would for example display a list of domains hosted on that IP address.

4. Display only wallpaper images

Bing’s image search has already received some praise in the past days. One interesting feature is the ability to display only wallpaper images in the image search results. This is done by searching for a term in Bing image search and clicking on the Size category in the left sidebar. It will automatically display various size filters including one called wallpaper. This will display only images that have the exact size of the computer screen resolution.


















The parameters are available in the url which means users can change it to find wallpapers for other screen resolutions as well.

5. The contains parameter

The parameter contains will tell the search engine to only look for websites that contain that search term. This can lead to some interesting searches when combined with other search phrases, some examples are:

Windows 7 contains:torrent
Madonna contains:mp3
Google contains:pdf

6. To Ping Bing or Submit Site to Bing

If you have website which is not indexed by live.com – the former search engine from Microsoft – Now, you have to submit your site to Bing.

Another scenario is that your site is already indexed and you have changed site’s content and want to ping bing.com

The format ping format is

http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=[your site map link]

for example:- http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://www.technicalsea.com/sitemap.xml

If you follow the previous live.com ping format, it will redirect you to Bing!!!

If you know something else about bing, share with us by posting it in comments,

Yahoo Messenger is probably the most popular IM client today. Almost everyone uses it. But there is one issue with yahoo messenger, its setup doesn’t contains all the files required to complete the installation. The setup only contains the basic files. It download all the remaining files from the internet when it is run.

Now if you are on a slow internet connection, it becomes very difficult to install yahoo messenger. The setup fails many times which is very irritating.

Fortunately yahoo has also provided a complete offline installer for yahoo messenger 9. Its hidden deep inside the yahoo messenger website. But I found it for you

You can download the complete Yahoo Messenger 9 offline installer from this link. The download link is for the English version of yahoo messenger, if you need an offline installer for any other language, please contact me via comments and I’ll try to find it.

Enjoy!!! (:

Although not as popular as the blogging platform owned by Google - Blogger, GooglePages has been quite popular for three years since its launch in Feb. 2006. But recently new sign ups at GooglePages were stopped and now the complete service is being migrated to GoogleSites. And because GoogleSites do not support custom CSS and JavaScript files, so it is advised to everyone to download all their files from GooglePages as soon as possible, and move to a new host.

You can read about this GooglePages to GoogleSites Migration here:
[ http://pages.google.com/migrationInfo/YOUR_GOOGLE_ID ]
(And from this same location you can download all your files in zipped format)

Migration FAQ
If you are new to GoogleSites, then you can read about this service HERE

And if you are worried about your CSS and JavaScript files that were hosted at GooglePages, then I would advice you to upload those files to HotLinkFiles.com and SigMirror.com, as both of these sites offer direct or hot linking of files, with considerable bandwidth limits.
And in case you still are not comfortable with GoogleSites, then you may of course try Blogger.

If you are Firefox lover, there is a Add-on for you to copy text without the formatting. Named as Copy Plain Text, it works as Firefox extension that allows you to copy text from any web pages as pure plain text only.
Based on the fact that there are a lot of valuable information that we can get from Internet and quite frequently we used to copy text from web pages to the document, that’s how the Copy Plain Text can come handy with. To copy text without formatting, just highlight the text you want to copy followed by right click on the highlighted area, then choose Copy as Plain Text from the context menu. You can paste the text you have copied to any document without worrying about the format from being carried along. On top of this, Plain Text provides few options to copy text, such as trim space around text, remove extra spaces and remove extra empty lines. You can choose from any one or combination of the above options which suite your need best. If you frequently copy plain text from web pages, you can even set copy plain text as your default copy action, either CTRL + C or choose Copy from Edit menu will copy the highlighted text without the formatting being carried forward.

Copy Plain Text 0.3.3 works well with Firefox 1.0 – 3.0.*. If you find Copy Plain Text to be useful and fit to your need, just go and download it at HERE.

I watched the unveiling of Microsoft’s Bing at AllThingsD yesterday, and was way more impressed than I expected. Of course, I should have known: Basically, it was Powerset repotted in fertile soil with lots of nutrients… I was an investor in Powerset, and it was a gratifying moment: like seeing your kid up on stage in well-deserved glory.

A few points to make:

How the world turns. If Microsoft had done this oh, say, five years ago, it would have been accused of grandiosity, taking over the Internet, etc. It’s great for consumers and for marketers of products/services, but not so good for intermediaries such as Orbitz and all kinds of shopping sites. MS is bidding to become the intermediary — or partnering with specific ones such as Open Table. And, years later but a month before now, if Google had offered a similar service, Google would have faced the same accusations. But if Google does something similar now (and it certainly has some of these same capabilities somewhere in the lab and somewhere in its mind), it will seem like a justified response. God bless competition!

Another interest group that may suffer: all those companies who made it so difficult for consumers to call them directly. With Bing surfacing their 800 numbers, they will have to become more responsive. I hope they don’t respond by enlarging their voicemail trees.

Finally, what’s interesting here is that the achievements aren’t in search per se or even in the natural language interface; they are in the structuring of the data. Search, in a way, is like shining a spotlight into a dark room: You see a few things shining in the dark, but you can’t really see what or where they are in context. Bing is like turning on the light and even tidying things up a bit so you can find what you’re looking for, nicely arranged in transparent data drawers.

Last year at D, I (plus some other acolytes) had dinner with Bill Gates, who said something he had not pointed out on stage: “The future of search is verbs.” In other words, you want actions, not just data/nouns. You want to reserve a table, book a flight, call a support line.

Shout-out to Barney Pell, and to MS overcoming its own immune system and neatly grafting in some cool technology plus a lot of real-world knowledge in specific domains. Algorithms alone are not enough.

A first batch of third party applications that have been optimized for the Windows 7 operating system have been released in the last weeks. Gmail Notifier Plus is already the second application that is making good use of the new taskbar features of the Windows 7 operating system. The program will display unread email messages and other information and links related to the Gmail account directly in the Windows 7 taskbar.

The two main features are the following: Feature 1 displays previews of each unread email message right in the Windows 7 taskbar. It makes it possible to preview each unread email message right there and go to the Gmail account with the click of the button.

The second feature is the Gmail jumplists. Jumplists basically display information and links to common tasks. The Gmail jumplists displays the unread email messages of the Gmail account; Again with the possibility to access the account with the click of the button. Common tasks like going to the inbox or writing a new email are displayed in the jumplist as well which allow a user to quickly access some of the most used features of Google Mail.

Gmail Notifier Plus is only compatible with Windows 7 and can be downloaded at the Neowin forum.

A new beta version of the Windows edition of Skype 4.1 has been released today. The new version adds several new features to the voice over IP client that increase its value for end users and business alike. Probably the most popular change is the addition of screen sharing which makes it possible to share part or all of the computer screen with contacts. This can be quite interesting for people working in IT to get a visual of what the user is doing that is causing the problem. It could also be interesting for presentations and demonstrations.

Another interesting addition is the contact importer which allows users to import contacts from services like Gmail or Aol. These contacts can now also be send again to other Skype users. Old time Skype users might remember that the feature was already implemented in Skype 3 but got removed in previous versions of Skype 4. Configuring birthday reminders is another feature that is making a comeback in Skype 4.1 Beta.

Windows users can download the beta of Skype 4.1 (via Download Squad) from the official homepage. Keep in mind that betas should not be installed in productive environments.

A pdf containing the Skype 4.1 release notes is available on the same website as well.

Microsoft has just released the second service pack for the Windows Vista operating system which can either be downloaded as a standalone package or via Windows Update. The standalone package not only contains the Windows Vista Service Pack 2 but also the second service pack for Windows Server 2008, a combined package so to speak. The size of the 32-bit standalone package is about 302 Megabytes for the five language and 390 Megabytes for the seven language service pack and almost double that amount for the 64-bit standalone package which comes in sizes of 508 and 622 Megabytes.

The size of the Service Pack 2 is considerably smaller when downloaded over Windows Update with all downloads being less than 100 Megabytes in size for all possible editions. Microsoft has created a What’s New article at Technet which details the most notable changes that are introduced in Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

Changes that affect most users are the removal of the halp open outbound TCP connection limit, support for Bluetooth 2.1, improvements to Wi-Fi connections and configurations and the integration of Windows Search 4.0.

The standalone Windows Vista Service Pack 2 can be downloaded from the following pages:

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 5-language (English, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish) standalone pack download

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 5-language DVD ISO download

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 5-language 64-bit download

The all language standalone packages are not available yet, the links are the following for 32-bit and 64-bit

Please follow these links for additional information about the second service pack:

The development team of the Opera Internet browser introduced speed dial a while ago in the web browser. Speed Dial displays up to nine websites that are added by the user as thumbnails whenever a new blank tab is opened in the web browser. This gives the user another possibility of visiting popular websites without having to access the bookmarks or typing in the domain names or keyword shortcuts directly into the Internet browser.

Speed Dial is displaying nine website thumbnails in a 3×3 matrix. Some users of the Opera Internet browser might want to change the speed dial size to display additional (or less) website thumbnails. This can be done by editing the speeddial.ini configuration file that is found in the Opera profile folder. Windows users find the file in the Application Data folder.

All that needs to be done to change the speed dial size is to open the speeddial.ini file and add the following three lines to the end of the file.

[Size]
Rows=x
Columns=y

where x and y are the number of rows and columns that should be displayed.

4×4
8×8
Some sizes are obviously to large to offer the benefit that Speed Dial is supposed to offer to the Internet user. It might however still be interesting for some users who want to increase the speed dial size slightly.

A good way of testing new versions of the so called Google browser is by running a portable version of Google Chrome. The only problem that arises is that it can be quite problematic to stay up to date with all the web browser updates that the Google Chrome team releases regularly. Long time Ghacks reader Caschy is regularly creating new portable versions of the Google Chrome browser at his website after official browser updates.

New versions of the Google browser can be regularly downloaded from the website. The browser can then be executed by launching the file ChromeLoader.exe for a normal program start or IncognitoChromeLoader.exe for starting the anonymous mode of the Google browser.
Updates that are released can simple be copied over the existing directory of the Google browser. Users just have to make sure to avoid overwriting the profile directory which stores user related data.

Users who are interested in staying up to date with the portable Google Chrome releases are encouraged to add the RSS feed of the website to their feed reader as this seems to be the best way to be notified of program updates.

Last Pass is a password management add-on for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer that can store login credentials to web services in a securely encrypted password vault. The password manager is compatible with most editions of Internet Explorer including the latest Internet Explorer 8 edition that has been released a while ago. The passwords are stored in encrypted form on the Last Pass servers which comes in handy for several reasons.

It is for example possible to access the passwords on other computer systems without having to carry them around on storage devices like USB sticks. And since Last Pass is not only compatible with Internet Explorer it comes also handy for users who work with web browsers like Firefox. It is basically possible to share passwords and other data between Internet Explorer and Firefox this way.
The download of the password management software is cross-browser compatible. It can install the add-on in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox at the same time. New users can create an account during the installation while existing users need to supply their login credentials to end the installation.

Last Pass adds a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar that provides quick access to most of the features offered by the password management software. It is for example possible to open some of the recently opened websites, switch identities, edit the preferences or add secure notes.

Password Management is not the only feature offered by Last Pass. The program can store notes in the password vault and offers an option to create form profiles to fill out forms on websites more easily.

The add-on will automatically recognize username and password forms on websites and act accordingly. It can fill out the form automatically if the login credentials are already stored in its database. New passwords can be generated with the versatile password generator. Last Pass is definitely one of the best password management tools.

Version 2.0 of Google Chrome, known as the Google browser, has been released yesterday by the Chrome development team. The web browser is now officially out of beta. The speed of development is a little surprising for a company that seems to love the beta tag on many of their products. Some think that Google tries to match the latest version of the Firefox web browser as soon as possible to avoid looking inferior to inexperienced users.

The latest version of the Google browser can be downloaded directly from the official Google Chrome website at Google. Users who prefer to use the offline installer to install the Google browser can download the executable here. The web browser comes with several improvements that are not spectacular but useful nevertheless.
The three additions that are highlighted in the announcement are full screen support (with F11), an option to automatically fill out forms on websites and the ability to delete thumbnails in the new tab page which displays the most visited websites.

Speed and stability of the Google browser have also been increased according to the Google Chrome blog. It does seem though that extension support has not been added to the final release of Google Chrome which would mean that it is still only available in dev builds.
