Finally I got my first Google adsense Payment.

Proof below

After working for around 4 months, finally I got my first payment from Google Adsense for the total balance amount of $101.21 i.e INR 4674.89. .Google AdSense had issued my first check on Oct 26, 2009, but I was completely surprised to find it in my mailbox only a few days later.

Tweak Twitter: Automatically create tinyUrl for your blogs posts

Here is an intresting and useful tweak for WORDPRESS blog owners. This tweak allows you to automatically create tiny urls for your blogs post.

Because of the restriction on character numbers in Twitter, you have to use a URL shortener when tweeting URLs. So, to help your readers tweet about your posts, you should definitely provide short URLs for all of your posts.

Here’s how to automate that task:

Open your functions.php file and paste the following code:

function getTinyUrl($url { $tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$url); return $tinyurl;}

Once done, paste this in your single.php file, within the loop:

<?php $turl = getTinyUrl(get_permalink($post->ID)); echo 'Tiny Url for this post: <a href="'.$turl.'">'.$turl.'</a>' ?>

Backtrack 4 getting popular.

What is Backtrack?

BackTrack is the most top rated linux live distribution focused on penetration testing. With no installation whatsoever, the analysis platform is started directly from the CD-Rom and is fully accessible within minutes.
It's evolved from the merge of the two wide spread distributions - Whax and Auditor Security Collection. By joining forces and replacing these distributions, BackTrack has gained massive popularity and was voted in 2006 as the #1 Security Live Distribution by insecure.org. Security professionals as well as new-comers are using BackTrack as their favorite toolset all over the globe.

BackTrack has a long history and was based on many different linux distributions until it is now based on a Slackware linux distribution and the corresponding live-CD scripts by Tomas M. (www.slax.org) . Every package, kernel configuration and script is optimized to be used by security penetration testers. Patches and automation have been added, applied or developed to provide a neat and ready-to-go environment.

BACKTRACK 4 

The Remote Exploit Development Team has just announced BackTrack 4 Beta. BackTrack is a Linux based LiveCD intended for security testing and we’ve been watching the project since the very early days. They say this new beta is both stable and usable. They’ve moved towards behaving like an actual distribution: it’s based on Debian core, they use Ubuntu software, and they’re running their own BackTrack repositories for future updates. There are a lot of new features, but the one we’re most interested in is the built in Pico card support. You can use the FPGAs to generate rainbow tables and do lookups for things like WPA, GSM, and Bluetooth cracking.
BackTrack ISO and VMWare images are available here.

Here a guide to BACKTRACK 4 - DOWNLOAD

All backtrack users please share your experience.

What is Double Password Protection ?

A strong passwords should have a significant length and cannot contain normal words. Only random digits and letters of different case. Such passwords are extremely hard to remember and it takes time to enter. But, even strong passwords have their weaknesses. When you type a password, it can be intercepted by a spy program that logs all your keystrokes. Others can see what you type (even if the password field on the screen is masked, the password can be read by buttons you hit on your keyboard.)

Until now, the only solution was to buy a secure token. A secure token is a hardware key that is used instead of or in addition to your normal password authentication. There are two main problems with the hardware solution, though. First, it is expensive. And second, you can use them only with software that has built-in support for this method of authentication.

But, from now on, you can turn any USB flash drive into a secure token! No need to purchase an additional expensive device. All you need is about 2 megabytes of free space on your flash drive or other USB gadget, such as an MP3 player, PDA or even a USB-pluggable mobile handset.

How does it work? The software, Double Password, installs onto your flash drive. When you type a password, the program intercepts it and converts it into a super-strong password string on-the-fly. You can use simple, easy-to-remember passwords without the risk of being cracked.

Another benefit of using Double Password is that nobody can steal your passwords. Spy programs are useless. Even if someone gets the "weak" password that you type on the keyboard, it means nothing. This password will only work when your USB flash is inserted.

While typical hardware locks will work only with software that supports secure tokens, Double Password works with any software. It simply substitutes your weak password with a strong one.

Double Password can be effectively used to securely lock your Windows account, to protect your laptop and to bring a new level of security to all software that uses password authentication.

Mozilla firefox Tweaks and hacks.

You may have installed countless add-on in Firefox to enhance the user experience, but if you want to get the most out of Firefox, you really have to hack your way into the about:config. The about:config page contains most of Firefox configuration options. It is the most effective, and the most powerful way to tweak and enhance your Firefox performance. Here are 5 the most useful tweaks you should know about.

How To Access Your About:Config Page

In your Firefox, type about:config in the address bar.

You will be shown a warning page. Click the I’ll be careful, I promise! button to proceed.

Now you’ll see a page with a filter box and different entries that you can modify by double clicking on them.

Now we are ready to apply tweaks and hacks. Here are some of the useful ones.

How To Backup About:Config File

Before you begin editing the about:config file in Firefox, you should back up the file in case you make a change that you need to revert back to default one.

In Windows Xp

Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.default\

In Windows Vista

Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.default\

 

Show/Hide Close Button On Tabs

Some people love to see the Close (the red X) button on every tabs, but some hate it. Whatever is it, you can configure it to your preferences via the browser.tabs.closeButtons setting.

Default: 1

Modified values:

• 0 – display a close button on the active tab only
• 1- display close buttons on all tabs
• 2- don’t display any close buttons
• 3- display a single close button at the end of the tab strip

Autofill Address in URL Bar

Other than the smart location feature, you can also get your URL bar to autofill the address as you type the URL. Type in the filter box with browser.urlbar.autofill, double click it to change the default Boolean from false to true.

Adjust Number Of Suggestions

When you start typing in the location bar, a drop-down list of suggestion URLs will be shown. If you want it to show more than 12 suggestions (12 is the default), you can adjust the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults keys and get it to show the number you want.

The Scrolling Tabs

When you opened many tabs, Firefox will not keep on reducing the tab width. Instead, it shows a scrolling bar so that the minimum width (100px) is conserved and you can scroll to find your tabs. If you are one of those who don’t like the scrolling tab function and prefer Firefox to show all the tabs, regardless how small it is, here’s what you should do.

Set the value of browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to 0 to disable it. Similarly, if you want Firefox to display more tabs before showing the scrolling button, you can reduce the default value to a lower value, say 75 pixels.

Disable Delay Time When Installing Add-on

Every time you wanted to install a Firefox add-on, you will have to wait for several seconds before the actual installation starts. If you are tired of waiting, you can turn the functionsecurity.dialog_enable_delay off so that the installation will start immediately upon clicking.

Bing has just launched a new feature called Visual Search where you can search stuff with the mouse without having to any text queries.

For instance, you can open the book section, scroll through the popular book covers (they are sorted by name by default) and then narrow the search results based on the author name, the category of the book or even the length (number of pages). You can further sort this resultset based on the book’s release date or the sales rank of that book.
Bing’s Visual Search includes an awesome interface for finding apps for your iPhone or iPod Touch without firing up the iTunes Apps store.
Go to Top iPhone Apps, narrow down your search results by category (Productivity, Games, Office, etc), choose whether you are looking for free app or paid ones (and if so, you can also specify the price range) and there you have all the apps that you may be looking for.

Yoga Poses are another interesting feature of Bing. Basically you can narrow down search results to yoga poses that help in the ailment of particular diseases or poses that are beneficial for different body parts (arms, heart, etc.).
Then you have travel destinations to help you plan your next family vacation.
You can not only filter places visually based on countries and on months when you are planning to take a break. And if things look a bit confusing, just choose the “Most popular on Bing” option to just see places that are most popular on the web.

Frolic Gadget : The BRIX concept phone

Designer Seokwon Hong has come up with the Brix concept phone that takes an unorthodox approach to daisy chaining your device.The Brix phone might just be a concept at this point in time, but the idea behind this concept is definitely interesting enough to warrant a commercial production. The whole front surface makes up a touchscreen, allowing you to access all your contacts, messages, and multimedia files via a touch-based interface. What makes the Brix special is the ability to string with another Brix, doubling the screen real estate in an instant. Heck, even a temporary virtual shared folder is created, bringing content from both devices together until they're disconnected. The best part would be chaining a virtually unlimited number of Brix handsets to form a really large (and probably expensive) TV.

 

 

The front section is 100% touchscreen with no receiver or bezel in sight. There is good reason behind that idea, since you can connect an unlimited amount of Brix handsets together to expand your viewing area.

When two or more Brix cellphones are strung together, a temporary virtual shared folder will be created, enabling you to merge content between the devices until they're disconnected. Would you like to see a handset like this make an appearance at a cellphone store near you, or do you think this is an impossible design at the moment?
