Today's trick allows you to use popular anonymity network TOR providing you an IP address from country of your choice, we will be configuring TOR to have an exit node of our choice so that we can control our IP's country as required.

Configuring TOR to use an IP of choice :

  1. Download TOR + Vidalia bundle from here, I prefer the all in one portable version which comes with Firefox.
  2. Launch Vidalia control panel and click View the network button.
3. Now navigate to node having country you want to have IP for, right click it and copy the Fingerprint as shown below, you must copy and save fingerprints of three nodeshaving good bandwidth for best results.

4. Close Tor Network Map window and click Settings button from Vidalia Control Panel.

5. Now use the TOR configuration file-path value shown to open TOR config file in notepad.
6. Now we need to paste the node fingerprint code copied in Step 3 above as shown below :


ExitNodes fingerprint-code-1, fingerprint-code-2, fingerprint-code-3
StrictExitNodes 1

substitute fingerprint-code-1, fingerprint-code-2, fingerprint-code-3 with codes of your choice.

  1. Restart TOR and you will have an IP from one of the three nodes selected.

Using this trick you are now able to have an IP from country of your choice and no-more need to go hunting for country specific proxies when needed.

To get the Vista style taskbar back Right-click an open area on the Taskbar and select Properties.



The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties windows opens up where you will want to click the box next to “Use small icons” and select “Combine when taskbar is full” from the drop down next to Taskbar buttons.

Now the Taskbar look similar to how it did in Vista. It doesn’t look exactly the same but has similar functionality.

Another tweak is to unpin all programs from the Windows 7 Taskbar.


Then follow The Geek’s tutorial on adding quick launch bar in windows 7 to get a look and feel that is exactly like Vista with the Quick Launch Bar enabled.


This should help you out when you are too busy to sit and learn the new Windows 7 Taskbar or simply are not a fan of it.

ENJOY FOLKS....................................................................................................................................

Here is the trick..

As usual, create a new post in blogger and upload your template images to that post... but don't publish it... keep it as a draft.
Once you completed uploading all the images, Open each image in a new window.



Once, the image is loaded in the new window, what I previously did was to copy the image location from the status bar and paste/hotlink it in templates. But, it didn't worked!



Now, the trick is, many people don't know that the url which we copy from the status bar is not exactly the direct link to that image file... that's why we can't hotlink to that image.

So, what we have to do to hotlink to that image is Right Click on the image and ' Copy Image location'. (for firefox users). For Internet explorer users, Right click on the image and go to Properties and then copy the image url from there.




Example:
For the above picture, status bar shows...

which don't work.

And the Real image url we get after right clicking and copying image location is..

Which works and we can do whatever we want.. with unlimited bandwidth :D
Hope this trick will be useful to many people who are searching for unlimited bandwidth image hosts.

In some weird move by Microsoft their latest operating-system windows 7 does not support in-place upgrade from their most widely used operating system - Windows XP, lack of this upgrade path prevented many like me from migrating to Windows 7 but here is some ray of hope with Laplink announcing in-place upgrade support to Windows 7 from Windows XP in upcoming release of their popular PC migration utility PCMover.

With this release versions of laplink pc mover you can upgrade from any version of Microsoft Windows (95 or later) to Windows 7 whether on the same hardware or a new PC, the utility will enable users to migrate to the newest Microsoft OS with all their applications, settings and data intact.

Using PCMover to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 is pretty straight-forward and all you need to do is to follow these steps :

  1. Install PCmover on the Windows XP computer.
  2. Run PCmover and select the upgrade option.
  3. Install Windows 7, selecting the “do not reformat” option (if users wants to perform a clean install with re-format of the disk-drive PCmover also supports this by allowing backup to external media).
  4. Install and run PCmover on Windows 7 and it will automatically restore all applications, files, and settings.


Laplink PCMover
is currently the only solution allowing this in-place Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade path, I am very much sure Windows XP users will now wait eagerly for this new version to get released.

Enjoy all xp users..............

The 3.00 firmware also introduces a new status indicator and dynamic themes for the XMB.Sony made the announcement regarding firmware version 3.00 for the PlayStation 3 at the Gamescon exposition in Cologne where the company also unveiled the new slim version of the device.
