Best Free SMS Websites

Now free online SMSing is a service everybody is wants today. But as usual the Internet is inundated with such websites making it difficult for the Common user to choose the best ones fulfilling their all their requirements. I have done the all the Hard work. Relish it and enjoy!!

1. Yahoo! SMS: This ones my favourite as it shows no ads. Just your Yahoo! username followed by the message. The option is available in the sidebar in Yahoo! Classic and in "All New Yahoo! Mail" it comes available after pressing "t" on the keyboard.
Character Limit: 149
Rest all show one line ad under each message.
2. TezSMS: It is fast but a line of ad after each message. It's Character limit is what I liked.
Chacter Limit: 260
3. FreeSMSFree: Character Limit: 200
4. SpiceSMS: Character Limit: 130
5. SMSwala: Character limit: 120
6. SMSloop: Character Limit: 100

There are many others but the Character Limit is too less to reach to my list.

Happy SMSing!!


College Hacks: Youtube contd.

In the earlier post I told you about adding Flash Player plugin to Mozilla Firefox without administrative rights/access. But if you are a college student you won't go out doing it all the computers. to solve that problem today I shall you how to add the plugin to the portable version of Firefox(which I talked about earlier) which you can carry on a USB drive.
The process is exactly the same as we did for ordinary firefox.
  1. Download Flash Player .xpi version
  2. Rename flashplayer-win.xpi into flashplayer-win.zip and extract it using WinZip or 7Zip etc.
  3. Copy flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll files into folder FirefoxPortableAppfirefoxplugins.
  4. Restart your Firefox portable.

Watch Youtube Videos without Adobe Flash Player

In University computers, the option of watching Youtube videos is disabled. This happens because you cannot install Adobe Flash Player to your internet browser(IE or firefox) without Administrative Rights. Since you cannot play videos without a flash player so here is a solution of installing adobe flash player plugin without Administrative access.
1. Download the XPI archive of the Flash Player Plugin.
2. Rename the file you just downloaded, called flashplayer-win.xpi, into flashplayer-win.zip (Change its extension from .xpi to .zip).
3. Extract the files in the archive. You can use any program capable of opening .zip files (WinZip, WinRAR or the free and great 7-zip). There are also websites which can uncompress archives: wobzip.org.
4. Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\
  • %APPDATA% is the folder which holds your applications profiles and settings.
  • You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK".
  • In case you don't have a Plugins folder you can create one and place your files there.Restart Firefox.
  • You are done.

College Hacks: Portable Apps


As I discussed in my first hack post, without administrative rights you cannot install any new software on to the system especially those which require windows registry modifications like Limewire, Adobe Flash Player, utorrent etc.
Through this post today I bring you the solution which I personally use. The solution is not to install these softwares, yes don't install them on to the system but carry their portable versions on a pendrive. these portables versions don't require any registry changes and are small in size. You just have to install them on to your pendrive.
Here are the download links to a few softwares:
1. Firefox Portable
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
2. Google Chrome Portable
http://majorgeeks.com/Portable_Google_Chrome_d6041.html
3. Limewire
http://yerdenizden.blogspot.com/2008/06/portable-limewire-4181-pro-mlang.html
4. utorrent
http://www.utorrent.com
5. Winzip Portable
http://www.downarchive.info/software/portable/4692-portable-winzip-pro-v12.0.8252.html
6. FLVPlayer
http://en.softonic.com/s/flv-player-portable
7. File Undelete Plus(Retrieve files even deleted from the Recycle Bin)
http://www.pendriveapps.com/undelete-plus-portable-file-recovery-software/

And the last, but my favourite
Roboform2Go
All your passwords(Gmail, yahoo, hotmail, website logins) saved at the same place and very safely under a Master Password. Just click a button you'll automatically reach the website with your login details filled in.

Firefox portable is better than Google Chrome Portable as it provides a number of cool addons.

For Adobe Flash player wait for my next post

SPEED UP UR ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)


1. Go to the installation folder of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the "Plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).

College Hacks: Proxy Servers

To access certain websites which are otherwise blocked by the administrator or even the country’s ISPs, we can reach them through proxy servers. These are servers with their ip addresses in another country. Thus, when we login to websites through proxy servers, we are logging as visitor from another country. But there are thousands of such proxy servers therefore choose those which show no ads and thus are fast. A list of such proxy servers is below:
1. http://proxypass.us

USB device not recognized


A USB device can be a pendrive. Mp3 player or anything connected through the USB port, even a mouse. Many a times some problems occurs with them but today we shall solve the most common one i.e. the USB not getting recognized.

START > Restart > Plug in Drive > Newfound Happiness.
