Minimize Msn to System Tray in Windows 7Annoying thing that Windows 7 has new gui and controls, but fear not if you want to have your msn client minimized to the system tray. Follow these 4 steps(and it will behave as in Vista):

1. Close Msn completely.

2. Go to Program Files->Windows Live->Messenger right click on msnmsgr.exe and click properties.

3. In the "Compatibility" tab, check of "Run this program in compatibility mode for", and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop down list. Click OK.

4. Start Msn again. When you now click the X button in the top right corner, it will minimize to the System Tray!

EtherPad - multiple people edit the same document simultaneously FREEEtherPad say its the only "really real-time" web-based word processor. At this time its possibly true. Its really fast. They also added a playback function of the history of the pad, almost like in google wave.

You can create a pad to chat, write, brag or just tell a story. Generally, only people who know the URL to your pad will be able to access its contents. In this way, you can control access to a pad. You can think of the randomly-generated URL as a sort of password.

Get free apps - appstore crackedinstallous

The best apps in the appstore usually cost money, but some dudes have made a "work around". 

On your jail broken iPhone with Cydia installed, add the new source: http://cydia.hackulo.us and install the program: installous.

The program from Hackulo.us lets you get access/download/install some cracked apps that it basically gets from the net. A very easy and cool program, but a little slow as the interface is a web page inside the program.

Drop stuff in your own web box! - with DropBoxImagine you have a file on your computer at home that you want to open at work, at a friends house or maybe on your iPhone. What is the easiest way? USB-memory brick, send it to your online email account? Not anymore!

  • Access your Dropbox on the go
  • Download files for offline viewing
  • Sync photos and videos to your Dropbox
  • Share links to files in your Dropbox

DropBox is a program that can easily be installed on your computer(s) or iPhone through appstore. The whole idea is to easily share your files(with others or yourself). This is done by creating a folder on your hard disc that "auto magically" is synced with all your other dropbox installations.

There is also a web interface, which lets you access your files without installing anything. All you need is a browser.

The iPhone app is great. It lets you take a photo and directly add it to your dropbox, which then is synced to all the other boxes.

You cannot change the extentions easily without this beeing turned off.. some Windows users doesn't know about this "feauture".

1. Open the window explorer(windows button + e or go to "My Computer").

2. Click "Tools" and "Folder Options" (in Vista you must click the "Alt" key to get top menu).

3. Then uncheck the "Hide extentions for unknown file types".

4. Click OK and go back to the file.

5. Now you can rename the file extention.

Look up words fastHave you ever copy and pasted words into google to look up the meaning or if it is spelled correctly? With the Lingro dictionary function this little task becomes no task at all. If you have added Lingro as a bookmarklet, you are just one click away.

The way it works is that the "link" you have added, grabs the content of the page you are at, with javascript, and opens it in "lingro view". Now you can click on the word/words you don't understand, and Lingro looks up the word in its dictionary and posts the result in a "floating div".

For example: clicking on the word "choice" this floating div will appear.

You can also open lingro.com and post urls of pages you want to check or inspect directly.

Ripping DVDsRipping DVDs is easy with DVDShrink. They say the program is for taking backup of your DVD discs(and sharing them on the net?). Anyhow DVDShrink is freeware and can be downloaded here.

Here is a good guide for how to use DVDShrink.

DVDShrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive.

They say: "DVDShrink will also burn your backup DVD, if you have installed the latest version of Nero. You can also download a demo version of Nero here. If you already possess alternative burning software and prefer to stick with it, then you can still use DVD Shrink. The output from DVDShrink can be saved as files on your hard drive, which you can then burn with software of your choice."

Google My DocsWorking together on documents can be a real painful sometimes. Some might know the problems occurring when you have to send the document by e-mail back and forth. Google has made a nice tool for simplifying this problem, or I might say solving the problem. Google Docs is a free web-based word processor and spreadsheet, which allow you share and collaborate online.

You could also work offline(requires an installation).

To share just enter the email addresses of the people with whom you want to share a given document and send them an invitation. When they are logged in, they can now, in real-time edit the same document as you are editing. Pretty cool!

Transfer photos from iPhone to computerUsing "Windowns" Vista.

I was googling around about how to do this... the first links suggested to download some program. I did, and of course I only could copy the first six photos in this free version. $19 for the complete version :P

"Why bother installing a program for this small thing!"

Fastest way:

Step 1: Just connect your iPhone to the computer, without iTunes running. A popup appears asking what to do.

  1. Choose view content.
  2. Navigate through the folders that appear.
  3. Your in!

Step 2: If the above doesn't work, try to disable auto-sync in iTunes.

  1. In iTunes go to:Edit->Preferences->Syncing->Check "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods" and click OK.
  2. Disconnect the iPhone.
  3. Do "Step 1".

Step 3: If you believe all hope is gone, and thinking about buying a Mac, try this:

  1. Disconnect the iPhone.
  2. Go to the control panel(Windows button + r, type "Control Panel" and hit enter). 
  3. Double click "AutoPlay".
  4. Find the heading "Devices". Your iPhone should be there.
  5. Select "Open device to view files using Windows Explorer" from the drop down.
  6. Click "Save".
  7. Do "Step 1".

If this doesn't work check the "Device Manager" from the "Control Panel" for your iPhone(under Universal Serial Bus controllers). If its not there you need to install the driver... Try Google!

Buzzword from AdobeAnother alternative for OpenOffice/MS Word is Buzzword. It is free and lets you edit your .doc files on the net. This means you don't have to install anything. Just go to buzzword.acrobat.com and log in. You can save your document, and continue editing on another computer just by logging in.

Buzzword requires flash. But this is not negative. I think flash enhances the look and feel effect for the better. It is a "smood" application.

Open My Office!Why buy MS Office when you can have a better package for free!!!

Openoffice.org is an advanced and free alternative to Microsoft Office, and is controlled by Sun. Openoffice uses open standards, we can see the files inside the saved formats. Use winrar to open the .odt file, this is the "new" format instead of Microsofts .doc, and you can see all the files are in xml format! The text editor lets you export the document as a PDF, witch is very nice. The package also include an alternative for excel, a painting program and other. Check it out: Openoffice.org

ScummVM on your iPhonePlaying the games that you install through the "iPhone installer" is boring. ScummVM allows you to play old games such as: The Digg, Sam and Max, Monkey Island and m.m. on your iPhone. I was googling around for this stuff, so here is how I ended up doing it in five "small" steps:

1. You need some games:

  • These you can find on the nett(try mininova.com->search: ScummVM) witch is illegal.
  • Or you can use your own by ripping the CD(how you do this I don't know).

2. You need to install ScummVM on your iPhone:

  • Open Installer.app on a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. Use Google to find out how to jailbreak your specific version of the firmware on your device.
  • Tap the "Sources" button in the bottom-right corner.
  • Tap the "Edit" button in the top-right corner.
  • Tap the "Add" button in the top-left corner.
  • Enter http://urbanfanatics.com/scummvm.xml into the text area and tap "OK".
  • Installer will refresh your sources. It may close. If so, reopen it.
  • ScummVM is now available for install in the Games section.

3. Connect you iPhone with your computer/mac with WinSCP:

  • Make sure you have ssh and bsd subsystem installed from installer(on your iPhone that is).
  • Next get WinSCP and find your iPhone’s ip by going to (on your iphone) settings > Wi-Fi > “Your selected WiFi” >click the blue little arrow thing.
  • Connect to your iPhone using WinSCP (user: root password: alpine).

4. Copy the game files to the iPhone:

  • In WinSCP(when you are connected to the iPhone), simply drag and drop the "game"(this would be the folder with the game name on it) into the desired destination folder on your iPhone.

5. Run the game:

  • Open ScummVM on your iPhone
  • Click on "Add game..."
  • Navigate to the game folder("the folder with the name of the game!") by doubble tapping the folders.
  • Choose the game folder(single tapp) and click "Choose" then "OK".
  • Then simply click "Start" and your on your own....
