Spybot Easter Hidden Games

After you have search and destroyed the spybot, you may get bored. To give you relive from your boredom, Spybot Search and Destroy team have included a game for you.

As shown in the above picture, click on the small binocular on the left side of program, you will open the game.

Not really sure about how that game works, but I click through numbers after numbers, then finally I saw something like DaVinci code picture.

That’s all I got! I can’t finish the game as I don’t have much time now. How’s about you? Can you finish it?

How to choose : “No to All”

I would like to share a small tip about copying or replacing files.. Whenever you have to copy or replace something in Windows, Windows will ask you whether you want to replace the duplicate file or not, the dialog box has only four options available:

Feel frustrated about not having “No to All”? Well .. press shift key and then click on No. This will react as “No to All”. This will save you some time from clicking “No” on the confirmation messages again and again.

P.S. If you are using Windows Vista, you get different dialog box and this problem have been gone already there.

For firefox, the easiest direct way is:
Type: about:config in the Firefox address bar
-Search for general.useragent.extra.firefox

That’s it. You are all set! Ready to go!

P.S If you want to work it for sexuploader and megarotic simply add Firefox/2.0 Alexa Toolbar.

ASCII image generator

Recently, I’m having fun playing with ASCII image generator. It is quite cool to convert your favorite image to ASCII version and see what’s it might looks like 1960s mainframe computers.

There are so many websites that offer to convert your image to ASCII version. So far I’ve used TEXT-IMAGE.com and found it quite cool.

Way to download Yahoo! Music Video that u watch

We all watch Yahoo! Music Video, don’t you? Some of our favourite artists attract us to watch more than once. Sometimes it’s pity that we need to wait for buffering time and there is crapy due to our internet connection. How can we solve this? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could download the movie we want with highest quality available and watch it later again and again?

Here I found out how to do. This is their tutorial for how to acheive this.

Navigate to Farando Barajo’s page and download the OS dependant versions of LyFOX: OSX, Windows, and Linux. Unzip to your desktop and double-click the LyFOX application.

The clean interface provides one user input field. In the search box at the top of the window, enter an artist of your choice and click ‘Search’. LyFOX – modeled after the pkLauch Greasemonkey userscript – qeuries the Yahoo music music videos for the matchin artist and returns a list of available music videos.

In the list of available music videos, highlight the clip you wish to download and select the ‘More Info’ drop down menu at the bottom of the window. The MMS information box will display the ‘Artist’, ‘Title’, [Video] ‘ID’, and most importantly ‘MMS’. Copy the MMS:// URi and open the VLC media player to download.

If you want to convert your downloaded files for your ipod, they still got another tutorial for it. Read there.

Is AJAX the key to reduce bandwidth?

According to Macrumors.com, they only need to serve 32 GB with AJAX during the keynote adress, if they didn’t use AJAX, they would need to serve 6 times as much data, 196 GB!!!!

We peaked at approximately 103,000 simultaneous web visitors and 6,000 IRC viewers during the Keynote speech and transmited over 32 GB of data in a three hour period. If not for the efficiency of the MacRumorsLive AJAX update system, the same webcast would have required approximately twice as many servers and would have had to transfer almost 6 times as much data (196 GB).

Write Now, Send Later ( Emails )

Have you ever dream about sending an email to yourself or your friend at a future date like on 14th February 2008? You don’t need to dream anymore as your dreams come true! There are several email services make it possible.

Here is a list of emailing services that I liked.

Mail to the Future – allows you to send mail to yourself or others at a specified date and time in the future. But requires registration and they wrote In order to use Mail to the Future, your browser must send us a cookie that contains an encoded password. Luckily, if you have an email account somewhere, it’s very easy to get such a cookie. Discontinued

FutureMe – No registration needed made this my favourite service. Specify the email address, subject, message and the date to be sent in the future. The drop menu shows the last year as 2036 ( Will they last that long? ). You can also keep the email private or as an anonymous public one. They have a sense of humor as they wrote this in their copyright statement : if you steal anything, we will sic a pack of cute angry girl lawyers on you. for real.

FutureMail – Use FutureMail to send yourself reminders, notes, or any information you want to have in the future. You can even share your future items in a public RSS feed or your own FutureMail Blog. You can specify your time zone and select an hour along with your message date! This makes FutureMail much more useful for daily reminders!

I am sure there are many other services out there or will come out later. From three of these services, I recommend you to use futureme. That is simple, easy and the best of all : NO REGISTRATION.
