Being the regular user of Mac OS X, I just want to have a way of converting the file formats of the screen shots I take very often, since the default image file format that is being saved on the desktop for each screen shot I take using the Mac short keys (Shift+Cmd+[3 or 4]) will be PNG. So instead of changing the file format of the screen shots every time manually, I found a better way of converting the file formats as we desire automatically by just typing the following command in the Mac terminal window:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type image_format Here replace the 'image_format' with the desired file format. I have tried with JPEG, TIFF and PDF and all the worked fine for me) You'll then have to logout/login to make the change take effect.

Friends, as you know till now I have posted around 4 hacks to download songs from the eSnips songs database, but every time I tried to do so eSnips people always have some stuffs to block it. But after a nice weekend, today morning I came with yet another easy way to download songs.

This only works with Apple's Safari web browser . I hope all Mac users are already familiar about it. Windows users who don't have Safari browser can download it here. Downloading songs here is very easy and simple.  Please follow the below steps for download..

1. Open Safari and go to any eSnips song you would like to play 2. when the page loads, go to Activity menu item under Window menu  (or simply use Ctrl+Alt+A as short key)  3. In the Activity Window that puts up, go to the desired songs URL (look for file type as MP3 under Status tab) that you would like to download and simply double click on that that's it ... you are done ! Download will initiate in Safari's default Download dialog Keep Going friends ! have a nice time

If you are new to Adsense, and not earning at least a cent per day, I am very sure that you will be planning to click your own ads. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE…

I’m sure that you will try to go to Internet Cafes or change your IP Adress just to click the ads on your Website, Not knowing that Google is very intellegent enough to track you. The same thing happened to my friend as he does the same thing ! So be aware when clicking on your adscenes

So, How does google know if you click your own ads even if you are not using your own computer? Here are the 5 things you should know: 1. Too many Clicks Clicks - too many clicks in your ads can cause your adsense to be disabled. 2. No Referral Pages - if you directly enter your website in the address bar of your browser then click your own ads, thats very obvoius enough. Google knows it. 3. Low Traffic - If you have low traffic, and you got clicks, it can also result to your account to be banned. For example, if you have only 10 visitors a day and you got 5 or more than clicks, thats also very obvious. 4. Not related ad cliks - If you got clicks that are not related to your website or blog post, can be also a result to ban. 5. Duration of Visitor - Google knows how long your visitors stayed in your website. If an individual goes to your site and clicks your ads even he/she stayed only a second in your site, can also be a result to ban.

I got so many comments about my previous eSnips download songs hack since it is not so reliable as user has to manually change the last number in the link  to a random number every time for download. Also it was not supporting all kinds of browser windows (only supports FireFox). But I never stopped my search for the best and the easy way to download songs and finally came up with an ultimate way to do the same. I got a download songs link generator from Zuhaib  Please note that use only flash compatible browsers before trying this !(else you won't see the below flash image) This link generator works fine for mp3, wma files. When downloading Mp3 files click on the Mp3 radio button, in case of other media file types choose others. Yes ! hurry up and download your favorite songs !

In one of my earlier post esnips - Download songs 'Hack',  I have mentioned an easy way to download songs from esnips with nsdoc. Actuallly that was an easier approach to download the desired song by just appending 'ns' to the song play link url.

Well, the old method of NSDOC will not work anymore as ESnips have changed their Player and the new player follows a bit different approach to play a file. Here is the new way of downloading. I have tried this new hack and it only works with Firefox browser and it won't work in any of the other browsers like IE, Safari etc You can download Google's Firefox web browser here Well, Hope you all a bit happy now !

Just go to play any of the files in esnips, if for e.g if the song URL that you want to play is http://www.esnips.com/doc/91481567-a2e5-4fff-a8e2-63522f335956/[aR]-Classically-Mild---01---Sochta-Hoon-Main then follow the below steps to download any file including the above: 1. change doc to nsdoc in the URL. 2. Remove the song name completely from URL, in above case this would be [aR]-Classically-Mild---01---Sochta-Hoon-Main 3. Replace the Song name with /ts_id/1205795172796/ns_flash/file1.mp3 4. Now just copy paste the new URL into the address bar and press enter.. and that's it all about. Your download will start automatically In above case the new URL will be - http://www.esnips.com/nsdoc/91481567-a2e5-4fff-a8e2-63522f335956//ts_id/1205795172796/ns_flash/file1.mp3 Only disadvantage of this method is, the file that downloads will not have the actual filename, rather will have file1.mp3 as it’s filename. Howz that folks !

Most of the products that Microsoft releases always comes with a evaluation trial period and which wont work after that. Once after the trial period expires the user has to either purchase the full version or just keep quiet. Microsoft has recently released Microsoft Office 2007 with some much enhanced features when compared to the its previous release Office 2003. The trial version of  Microsoft Office 2007 can be installed by using a 25-character trial product key available from Microsoft while you download the free Office software, and you can use the Microsoft Office 2007 suite with full functionality for 60 days.

This Microsoft Office 2007 suit trial can be installed without the trial product key(which comes by default with the trial version) but will work in reduced functionality. Beside, if you forget the trial product key, or don’t wish to register a Windows Live ID to get the trial key, here’s the trick/hack to activate Office 2007 or in other words just bypass the activation of Office 2007 60 days trial which makes the word “Trial” to disappear from the Office title at the top and suppress activation and trial expiry prompt. To use this hack to crack activation on Office 2007 either you need to install Office 2007 without any serial number or product key. In case if you have installed Office 2007 with a product key or serial number follows the below steps to clean remove Office 2007 product key

STEPS to remove Office 2007 product key: 1. Close all Microsoft Office applications. 2. Run Register Editor by clicking on Start -> Run, and then type “regedit” in the Open box and press Enter key. 3. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration Note that inside the registry key, there should be another sub key that resembles the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{90120000-0030-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Registration\{91120000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE 4. If there is more than one registry entries or sub keys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open up each sub key, and then identify the product by the ProductName value data until you locate the sub key for the product which you want to remove the existing product license key. For example: ProductName=Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 ProductName=Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 5. Once found the correct registry sub key, delete the following values: DigitalProductID ProductID 6. Close Registry Editor. And once Microsoft Office 2007 has been installed with no product key, proceed with the following steps:

Here is how it goes... 1. In Windows Explorer, browse 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12\Office Setup Controller\Proof.en\' 2. Right click on Proof.XML file, select “Open With…” in the right click menu and open this file with notepad 3. Scroll down to the bottom of the Proof.XML to locate the following lines: </Feature> <Feature Id=”SetupXmlFiles” Cost=”1248″> <OptionRef Id=”AlwaysInstalled”/> </Feature> Change the AlwaysInsalled to neverInstalled so that the line looks like following: <OptionRef Id=”neverInstalled”/> Save the Proof.xml file. In Windows Vista, you may need to take ownership and grant full access permission to yourself before able to modify the file. You can now launch Microsoft Office 2007 application such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and etc without prompting for activation. But once it is done you won’t be able to AND can’t access any updates or Microsoft Office Online.

Want to know if there's a beautiful woman in your future? Or if a big promotion is on its way?. Today I got a mail from one of my friend regarding how to read your horoscope through your palms. Here is how it goes !

The lines in your palm do not predict or determine your destiny, but rather your distinguishing characteristics and personal health. Start with your own hand and you'll become a palm-reading master in no time. Each hand represents different aspects: Right hand: practical, "doing" side Left hand: emotional or "heart" side

'heart' line: What happens in your love life and why. Right hand -- How you relate to others, your needs and experiences in love, and your passion for living. Left hand -- How you feel about yourself and your relationships; feelings occurring underneath your surface.

Line Characteristic Meaning Becomes a steep curve below the index and middle finger Strong sexual desire Ends under index finger Picky when it comes to partners Ends under middle finger (rare) Need for love Straight and short No need for romance, rather strong sex drive 2 or more branches out of heart line Corresponding number of different sides to emotional nature Heart line with branch pointing downwards and touching life line Easily hurt in love Married couples with similar heart lines Successful marriage

'head' line: How you think, not a measure of intelligence. Right hand -- What you physically do in life, including career, business and hidden talents. Left hand -- The way you think, how you see the world and how you communicate

Line Characteristic Meaning Ends under proximity of ring finger Average head line Short Simple, direct thinking Long Thorough, careful thinking Straight Clear, concentrated thinking Curved Readiness to play with new ideas Sloping Creativity Horizontal Practical thinking Chained High-strung attitude Fork in head line Open-minded, ability to see several points of view Floating head line Carefree attitude Starts under index finger Brilliance

'life' line: It reveals how you will live, in terms of quality of life. Right hand -- Vitality and physical strength; timing of events and significant practical happenings in your life; how adventurous you are in life. Left hand -- Vitality and emotional strength; timing of events and significant emotional happenings in your life; how adventurous you are in relationships.

Line Characteristic Meaning Runs close to the thumb Low vitality (usually a tired person) Wide curve High vitality and energy level Stronger than head line More physically active than mentally active Chained Delicate health Little rising lines Active personality Outward swinging lines Love for travel Small line on life line Refer to particular events at points in your life
