How To: Remove ads from GMail by using a single sentance

riksgonemad — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 12:26:00 +0000

Here is a wonderful trick from Joe McKay, by just adding a single sentence at the end of your email you can now eliminate the Sponsored Links ads that show up on the top and right side of an email in your GMail inbox.

In his personal blog he has used the following sentence to disable ads “PS: Suicide death 9/11 murder”.

He further explains says-
The solution is simple, when sending an email to a gmail user include a sentence or two that mentions catastrophic events or tragedies. Google does not use humans to read your email, only computers. These computers search for keywords that trigger the advertisements, however, if they happen to find a catastrophic event or tragedy Google errs on the side of good taste and removes the ads altogether.

Before

After

I have developed my own sentence that will eliminate ads from GMail. Here is mine-

PS: This line is just meant to slaughter all ads from this email.

Now get your own line too or use the above one, if you got some more good phrases please share with us.

All GTalk Bots at one place

riksgonemad — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:55:00 +0000

GTalk, todays most used IMs in the world, a product of Google. But most of you don’t know in spite of Chatting what else GTalk can do for you, to name a few services GTalk can be used to send you reminders, directly tweeting and digging etc. You can add all these interesting feature in your GTalk by using Bots

According to wikipedia-

Internet bots, also known as web robots, WWW robots or simply bots, are software applications that run automated tasks over the Internet. Bots may also be implemented where a response speed faster than that of humans is required (e.g., gaming bots and auction-site robots) or less commonly in situations where the emulation of human activity is required, for example chat bots.

Here is the list of the most useful bots that you can use to transform GTalk into a more useful feature rich application.

Translation bots:

By using this Bot you can translate from any language to the language you want. To use a bot, add it to your Friends list (by simply inviting it, Click on “+Add” button in GTalk > than add the “bot id” click next > click Finish) and send it the message you want transliterated. For example, if you send “Namaste” to en2hi.translit@bot.talk.google.com (English to Hindi), it will respond with “नमस्ते”

How To: Update NOD32 offline

riksgonemad — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 06:46:00 +0000

In this tutorial I will tell you how you can update your NOD32 offline (without any internet connection). First of all, you need a PC with NOD32 installed in it, and the one which is up to date (for e.g. your friend PC who always update his NOD32). In that PC, go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ESET. (This path is hidden, to view this path go to Folder options > View > click on Show hidden files and uncheck Hide protected system files)

Now copy the folder updfiles to any storage medium either pen drive or CD. Than go to the target machine and go to the same path and replace the folder updfiles with the one in the pen drive or CD.

So this is all done, you have just updated your NOD32, Now you have to do a final step just open NOD32 from, and click on “Update virus signature database“. And, you’re done.

So for those who have got unlicensed NOD32, they can update there NOD32 by using this method, though I not recommend it, as you can buy the Original NOD32 at a very minimal rates.

NOTE: For Windows Vista and Windows 7, we can find updfiles at C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET NOD32 Antivirus\Updfiles

How to: Recover Yahoo, Gtalk & MSN Password

riksgonemad — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 09:28:00 +0000

Oh my I God, I forget my Gtalk password, what should I do now? Help me God.

This would not be the case if you had read this post. Today (on demand), I am writing this post for those people who have lost their passwords and want to recover them. You can recover your password with a nifty tool MessenPass It is a password recovery tool that reveals the passwords of the following instant messenger applications:

MSN Messenger
Windows Messenger (In Windows XP)
Windows Live Messenger (In Windows XP And Vista)
Yahoo Messenger (Versions 5.x and 6.x)
Google Talk
ICQ Lite 4.x/5.x/2003
AOL Instant Messenger v4.6 or below, AIM 6.x, and AIM Pro.
Trillian
Trillian Astra
Miranda
GAIM/Pidgin
MySpace IM
PaltalkScene
Digsby

MessenPass can only be used to recover the passwords for the current logged-on user on your local computer, and it only works if you chose the remember your password in one of the above programs. You cannot use this utility for grabbing the passwords of other users. So all those GEEKS who were thinking that it is a Cracking tool I am sorry for broking your heart, but Hey! you can use it as don’t you?

You can also use MessenPass
in Command Line mode without displaying any user interface.

Hope it would help you out, if you have any problem leave a comment.
