HOW TO ENABLE WHATSAPP CALL

Hello friend,

In this post I want to share how to enable Whatsapp Calls.

Whatsapp is now providing seamless voice calls but it has been limited by the company to a few latest  versions of the application
 This feature is limited to  Android devices only.(one minute silence for windows users!!)

Update your whatsapp to the most latest . i.e. 2.11.528/531 from the Web to your device
The voice call feature will be downloaded but will be locked.!!
But in order to enable this feature you have to receive at least one whatsapp call from other number which has enabled this feature

ENJOY the fullest..!!  :)

How to Create GOD MODE FOLDER in Windows 7


Hello folks,

This time I'm gonna tell an interesting yet quite useful trick to you. This will help you to make a GOD MODE FOLDER in Windows 7 in just two steps..!!



Wait, What is this GOD MODE FOLDER??


Okay, Simply speaking  it's a folder containing all the shortcuts to just about every settings change and administrative function in Windows 7...!! 

Good.. But Why I need??

Just think ~ All settings in one folder..!! You don't need to swing from one category to another to edit your preference. Usually you have to scan a lot in all categories unless you know exactly where you can edit..

And, it also provides how much we can explore in settings of Windows..!!it's a pretty long list of things to remember - so having a nice reference like this could actually be useful from time to time.

Great... How to create this GOD MODE FOLDER??


Yeah.. With just TWO steps.!!!
  • Create a new folder anywhere

Trick to Find Cube Root of a number without Calculator








Today I 'm gonna share a simple  trick to find the Cube Root of any number (perfect Cubes only) without the need of any calculator..!! A sample C program is also providing to  prove this trick will work correctly for all perfect cubes.!!
Here We Go..!!  :)








Trick Used:

We will follow these steps to find the cube root of a number:

1. Ignore the last 3 digits of the number. Let remaining number be “Part1”.
2. From the above table check which number’s cube is less than or equal to ‘Part1’. It will be left part of our answer. Let it be “L”.
3. Let Right part of our answer be “R”. It will be determined from the above table. For Ex. If last digit of question is 7, then last digit of our answer will be 3
4. Our answer will be L|R.


Example 1
Suppose we want to find the cube root of 21952.
Step 1: Ignore last three digits of 21952. Remaining number left is ’21′.
Step 2: From the above table cube of ’2′ is less than ’21′. Therefore left part (L) of our answer will be ’2′.
Step 3: Since last digit of ‘21952‘ is ‘2‘. Therefore right part (R) of our answer will be ’8′. (Because Last digit of ‘cube of 8′ is 2. see table above.)
Step 4: Our Answer will be L|R. Therefore Answer will be 2|8 = 28.

PROOF

This C program verifies  this trick that it will work correctly for all perfect cubes.!!

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{
 int cube[]= {0,1,8,27,64,125, 216,343 ,512 ,729 };
 int last_digit[]={0,1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2,9};
 int i=0,j=0, num, part1,part2, ans1, ans2,flag;


flag =1;
for (i=0 ;i<44;i++)
{
num =i*i*i;                  // eg : 21952
part1 =  num/1000;           // 21
for (j=0;j<10;j++)

if (cube[j]>part1)           // 27>21
 break;                      //j=3
  ans1 =j-1;                 // ans1 =2

part2 = num%10;              //2
for (j=0;j<10;j++)
if(part2 == last_digit[j]) break;

ans2 = j;                    //8

ans1= ans1*10 +ans2;         //28

if (i!=ans1)  flag = 0;

}    
 if (flag) printf ("VERIFIED");
else printf ("ERROR OCCURED");

      return 1;
      }




Hope this post was useful for you.!!
Your feedback and suggestion are always welcome..!! Keep in touch.

KALQ is gonna outdate QWERTY?



Hai buddies,

 You must be familiar with the term QWERTY. But you ever heard about KALQ?

Simply speaking, KALQ is a new split screen keyboard designed to speed up thumb typing on tablets and large smart phones.


 In this post am gonna say a few words about what is KALQ, why it s needed and a small comparison between QWERTY and KALQ.

Here we go.!

As Alexander the great said ,touchscreen tablets also came ,saw, conquered our hearts. It taught our thumbs to pinch and swipe, slide and scroll. Yes, we are pretty habituated. But still texting through touch screen is sometimes not handy.

I think many will agree with this statement.

Heard  a good news that  Researchers at the University of St Andrews have developed a split-screen keyboard, specifically optimized for thumbs, which they claim can increase typing speeds by more than a third.its KALQ.

Why the name KALQ?

New keyboard KALQ got its name from the letters at the bottom right of the keyboard.

What is new in KALQ?

Keys in two Blocks:
Designed to save your thumbs stretching across the screen and making repeated taps, Kalq splits the keys into two blocks, 16 to the left, 12 to the right. Commonly used letters are clustered together and frequent pairs of letters placed on alternate sides, so each hand does the same amount of work.'

Researchers say "Tests show that after only 10 hours of training, users were able to reach 37 words a minute, compared with the average of 20 words a minute on a qwerty device..!!"


Did you know?

The  mechanism of typewrite, the pioneer,  staggered letters diagonally across the keyboard, rather than arranged in a rectilinear grid, to prevent the levers from running into one another.Qwerty followed the same just for purely mechanical considerations, yet it has endured until today and been unquestioningly translated into the touchscreen arena.

Will Kalq finally have what it takes to revolutionize typing in our increasingly thumbs-only world?? 
Time will give the answer.
Wait n C..!!

Pointers (Lecture Notes) : CUSAT s1s2 Questions




Hi friends,

Here I'm posting some important concepts asked in CUSAT B Tech S1 S2 C programming examination. All the concepts are descried here in very briefly so that you can grasp it quickly.
Here we go..!!! :)



Pointer

· Pointer is a variable that represents the location of a data item.

· Address operator (&) : It evaluates the address of its operand.

· Indirection Operator(*): Used to access data item referenced by a pointer.

Example:

Main()

{

Int a=3;

Int *ptr;

Ptr=&a;

Printf(“%d %u” , *ptr, ptr);

}

Pointer to an array

· A pointer can be used to reference an array.

· The name of an array will work as the pointer to its first element.

Main()

{

Int a[]= { 1, 2 , 3, 4};

Int *ptr =a;

For(int i=0; i<4;i++)

{

Printf(“%d”,* ptr+i);

}

Arrays of Pointers

· A group of pointers are stored in an array.

· Arrays of pointers can be used to store multidimensional arrays

Datatype *array[size];

Structures:

· A collection of heterogeneous elements.

· In structure memory will be allocated for each element.

Struct student {

Char name[20];

Int mark;

};

Union

· Similar to structures, A collection of heterogeneous elements.

· Memory will be allocated for largest member only. Other members have to share this memory.

union student {

Char name[20];

Int mark;

};

How Top Companies got their Name


Secrets behind Top Company Names --


-ADOBE-

This came from name of the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock..

-APPLE COMPUTERS-

It was the favorite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock that evening..


-CISCO-

It is not an acronym as popularly believed. It is short for San Francisco..


-COMPAQ-

This name was formed by using COMp, for computer, and PAQ to denote a small integral object..


-COREL-

The name was derived from the founder's name Dr. Michael Cowpland. It stands for COwpland REsearchLaboratory..


-GOOGLE-

The name started as a joke boasting about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders- Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to 'Google' ...thus the name..


-HOTMAIL-

Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing e-mail via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective uppercasing..


-HEWLETT PACKARD-

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett..


-INTEL-

Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company 'Moore Noyce'but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics..

-
LOTUS (Notes)-

Mitch Kapoor got the name for his company from 'The Lotus Position' or 'Padmasana'. Kapoor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi..


-MICROSOFT-

Coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on..


-MOTOROLA-

Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola..


-ORACLE-

Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or something such). The project was designed to help use the newly written SQL code by IBM. The project eventually was terminated but Larry and Bob decided to finish what they started and bring it to the world. They kept the name Oracle and created the RDBMS engine. Later they kept the same name for the company..


-SONY-

It originated from the Latin word 'sonus' meaning sound, and 'sonny' a slang used by Americans to refer to a bright youngster..


-SUN-


Founded by four Stanford University buddies, SUN is the acronym for Stanford University Network. Andreas Bechtolsheim built a microcomputer; Vinod Khosla recruited him and Scott McNealy to manufacture computers based on it, and Bill Joy to develop a UNIX-based OS for the computer..

-
YAHOO!-

The word was invented by Jonathan Swift and used in his book 'Gulliver's Travels'. It represents a person who is repulsive in appearance and action and is barely human. Yahoo! Founders Jerry Yang and David Filo selected the name because they considered themselves yahoos..

Protect your Facebook account from getting Hacked

Hi friend, Here I'm posting  some ways to Protect your Facebook account from getting Hacked.
Protect your Facebook account from getting Hacked:
1.Use Strong Passwords:In order to keep your Facebook account From Getting Cracked with a Brute force,Dictionary or Rainbow tables you need to keep Strong password usually more than 10 letters or else it will be damn easy for the Hacker to Hack a Facbebook password..

2.
Use Phishing filter:Phishing filter is a sheild which protects you from Fake login pages,These fake login pages are made to steal your passwords and Phishing filter will prevent you from logging into these kinds of pages..

3.
Use a good Antivirus and Antispyware: Yes,this is the most crucial step in all the above mentioned,It is highly recommended that you use a Good antivirus and antispyware program,I would recommend Kaspersky as an antivirus and as an spyware spyware cease and dont forget to update them regularly,Remember one trojan takes it all..


4.
Use a Good antiloggerAntilogger is a program which lets you know if a keylogger is present on your computer,Keylogger is a spyware program which helps you track of what is happening on your Computer..

5.
Use a Good Firewall:
If you want to prevent a Hacker to enter in your Computer and Hack your Facebook password than you must use a good firewall,I personally Recommend Zonealaram firewall.Firewall is a Hindrance in Hacking,A hacker may bypass antivirus but its very difficult for a Hacker to bypass a Firewall..



Hope Methods will help you to prevent your Facebook account from getting hacked,It is highly recommended that you must follow all the above Methods to ensure maximum security.. :)



‎Four ways to hack the fb id..


1. Facebook phishing
2. Keylogging
3. Social engineering
4. Primary email address hack


1 Facebook phishing:


I have taken this method first because i think this is the most popular method/way of hackingfacebook. I studied various facebook surveys taken on web about hacking facebook. The results of these surveys show "Phishing" as the most used method to hack facebook and to note…"Phishing is favorite method of facebook hackers". So, friends.. beware of facebookPhishing. Facebook staff is working hard to avoid these Facebook phishers. Phishing not only allows you to hack Facebook but also almost any email account. You have to only get the trick used to make a phisher, which i think is very easy. I learnt it without any difficulty. But, remember, this is only for educational purpose..


2 Keylogging:


This is my second favorite, as only thing you have to do is remotely install a keylogger application (if you don't have any physical access to victim computer Keylogging becomes more easy if you have physical access to victim computer as only thing you have to do is install a keylogger and direct it to your destination so that it will send all recorded keystrokes to pointed destination. What a keylogger does is it records the keystrokes into a log file and then you can use these logs to get required Facebook password and thus can hack facebook password..


3. Social engineering:


This sounds to be pretty not working at beginning. Even I was neglecting this way. But, once, I thought of using it against my friend on orkut and i got his Facebook password very easily by this method. I think many of you might be knowing how what this social engg is. For newbies, social engineering is method of retrieving password or answer of security question simply be quering with the victim. You have to be very careful while using this as victim must not be aware of your intention. Just ask him cautiously using your logic..


4.Primary email address hack


If Facebook hacker, by some means, hacks your gmail or yahoo account which you are using as primary email address, then this Facebook hacker can easily hack your Facebook password using "Forgot password" trick. He will simply ask Facebook to send password reset email to your primary email address- which is already hacked. Thus, your Facebook account password will be reset and orkut account hacked.. !!!

There has some other metods for hacking..
Stealers
Session Hijacking
Sidejacking With Firesheep
Mobile Phone Hacking
DNS Spoofing
USB Hacking
Man In the Middle Attacks
Botnets

etc..


Assume  your Facebook Account  is Hacked!!! What to do now..??
It would be a Nightmare for anyone whose Facebook account gets Hacked,He would wonder How to get back his Hacked Facebook account,In this article i will tell you some methods through which you can Regain your Hacked Facebook account..

Steps to take when your Facebook account gets Hacked:

1.Reset Facebook Password with Secondary email address:When ever you sign up for a Facebook account,they ask for your Secondary email address,In case if you loose your Password you can reset it with your Secondary email address..


2.Secret Answer:
Yes you can also reset a Facebook password with a Secret Answer which you provided to the Facebook while Signing up For a Facebook account..

3.Contacting Facebook:
Lastly if Hacker has changed your Secondary Email address and Secret Question then you have only one way left i.e. Contacting Facebook team for the issue..!!!!! :)

How to Remove Shortcut Arrow on Desktop Icons in Windows 7




Howdy guys,

It is true that sometimes the arrow present in shortcut icons seem irritating, especially when they are on your cute desktop.  In this post, I'll explain how to Hide and Remove Shortcut Arrow from Desktop Icons and Other Icons.

1.Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
2.Navigate to the following registry key:  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile

3.Delete the IsShortcut registry value in the right pane. 
  Tip: It’s also workable to just rename the IsShortcut registry entry to another name, such as IsNotShortcut.

4.Some other type of documents and files may be shortcut arrow on their icons too. To remove the shortcut arrow overlay image on these icons, navigate to each of the following registry keys, and then repeat step 2 and step 3 above to deactivate the shortcut arrow: 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\piffile
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ConferenceLink
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DocShortCut
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WSHFile

5.Exit from Registry Editor.

6.Logout and login again or restart Explorer for the change to take effect.


Note : Please note that in some cases deactivating the arrow for *.LNK files might lead to duplicate items in the Explorer context menu, as in essence, removing the “IsShortcut” effectively forces Windows to treat the shortcut as real hard file. In Windows 7, it may also cause error such as unable to pin shortcut to Taskbar or Start Menu. To avoid these issue, use another workaround to remove shortcut arrow.


Do you know, every SIM CARD has a name ?? Try this !! 1st step : from your number take the last ... 3 numbers, ex :: 050995567, take "567"only 2nd step: do this @*[567:0] 3rd step : remove the sign * And press enter in the comment box! :P



Do you know, every SIM CARD has a
name ??
Try this !!

1st step : from your number take the last
... 3 numbers, ex :: 050995567, take
"567"only

2nd step: do this @*[567:0]

3rd step : remove the sign *

And press enter in the comment box! :P



Hi friend, 

This is one of the widespreading rumour in facebook that every sim card 
has its own name. Is it true??? How on doing this cute name appears? Dude, I will explain in this post what is actually  behind this magic.



First of all, your SIM card has no name at all..!!!!!! Then, how this magic happens? 

Lets have look.

1. For every facebook account, there will be a unique number associated it as identification number.  (Mark Zuckerberg was the first person to open a facebook account  and he chose profile id number as 4..!!! Why he didnt chose 1 as starting number?? 
still a mystery..!! )

2.Using this unique number anyone can directly point to respective account. If you want to display any profile name just use as
@[id_number:0]

eg: My facebook account has the id - 100001420198548
So, @[100001420198548:0] will show up my name Vipin Narayan..!!!!

or type  @[4:0] in comment box and press enter..!!! 



Thats the game.!!Whenever you put your sim number in this body@[xxx:0] , it will 

point to the name associated with that account..!!! The rumor spreads it as 

your SIM card's name. :P


There is nothing wrong with this trick. Neither it has security threat nor has spam . 

But do not misunderstand that your SIM has a "name".!!!!!

How to master your Facebook Timeline




Facebook has rolled out its new Timeline feature to the masses.This ultra-illustrative, chronological listing of posts, photos, shared links, check-ins, and more is a radically different arrangement than the Facebook profile you've been used to..
And now that your life can be exposed for everyone to see -- and scrutinize -- you may be interested in curating the new interface. Once you've activated Facebook Timeline (go here to do so), you've got seven days to tweak it to make sure it's just how you like before it goes live for everyone to see..



Below are five quick tips on how to personalize, privatize, and generally get the most out of Facebook's newest feature. It doesn't take long to master the new interface, and it's an important exercise for anyone interested in, well, reputation management..



1.  How to hide things

You probably already know that Facebook has controversial positions on privacy. So you may now find that some things included on your Timeline are best kept from curious eyes. This could be anything from an embarrassing status message you posted in simpler social media times, to a rant your ex left on your wall a few months ago..

To hide a Timeline element, click the pencil icon at the top of the offending post, then choose "Hide from Timeline." Easy.

And please note: Any privacy settings you've already set still apply to the Timeline interface. So the photos of you getting wild at last weekend's kegger are still safe from Mom..

If you prefer to keep your profile public, but don't want everyone to see what you posted back in high school, for example, you can also tweak your Timeline settings more generally. Click the arrow next to your Home button at the top of the screen to access your Privacy Settings. Scroll down to "Limit the Audience for Past Posts," then choose "Manage Past Post Visibility." Now click "Limit Old Posts" -- all



2. Tell your life story: How to add past events

Privacy, schmivacy! Perhaps, you want the whole world to know the day you were born, the first time you rode a bike, and that debate club award you got in high school. These events aren't listed on your Timeline, but they can be.

To add a status update, photo, place check-in, or life event to your Timeline, simply hover the mouse over the line in the center of the page until it turns into a plus sign, and reveals the option to add one of those four types of posts.

Now, Facebook can accurately reflect your entire life -- and not just the events that occurred after you first signed on..



3. Add some individuality: How to customize your Timeline

There are a number of ways you can personalize your Timeline so it highlights the posts, pictures and events you cherish most..

First, you can add a cover to your Timeline. Toward the top of your profile, above the buttons where it says "Update Info," you should see "Add a Cover." Once you click that, you can select an image from your photos, or opt to upload a new image. Once it loads, you can adjust the positioning of your cover image.

If you set a cover photo and then decide it's not as great as you first thought, just hover your mouse over the image, and a "Change Cover" option menu will pop up, letting you reposition the image or select a new one..

For photo albums you've created, you can change the primary photo that displays (you could do this before, but now the process is different). Simply click the pencil icon in the upper corner of the album post, and select "Change Primary Photo."

You can also choose to highlight a post -- expanding it from a small, half-page-size post to a wide-screen version — by selecting the star icon in the post's upper-right corner. Conversely, you can click the star on a maximized featured post to make it normal again..



4. Appearances matter: How to check out your Timeline from different angles

If you decide to make a number of posts and photos private or hidden from your Timeline, you can still get the full, complete view of your Facebook action history.

On your Timeline, click "Activity Log." There you'll find posts and information you need to review before it publishes to your profile, as well as a complete look at your interactions on Facebook. This is log completely private to you.
You can choose to filter what you see by clicking the "All" dropdown menu at the top. You can choose to see only your posts, posts by others, posts from specific Facebook apps ("Hmm, let's look at my past Farmville accomplishments"), photos and more..

Like before, you can also check how others view your profile. Next to "Activity Log" is a cog icon. Click that, and you can choose "View As..." and either enter a friend's name or click the "public" link to see how your profile looks to strangers..



5. Information overload: How to organize friends and filter updates.

Now that your Timeline is all straightened out, you might as well do some house cleaning on what shows up in your Newsfeed..

When you add a friend or follow someone's public updates, Facebook automatically sets the level of posts you see to "Most Updates." You can change this by going to that profile, and clicking the "Subscribed" button. You can change it to "Only Important" updates or "All updates," and you can also filter what types of posts you're interested in seeing: things like life events, status updates, or photos..

And if you haven't done so already, you can organize friends into lists, a la the Google+ Circles feature. Facebook Lists rolled out in September..
Just go to the left-hand side of your Newsfeed page, click "More," and toward the bottom you'll see "Lists." You can add friends individually to lists like Close Friends, Family, or Co-workers. You can click "More" next to Lists to add other lists of your choosing — "Acquaintances," "Poker Club Members," you get the picture..

The average Facebook user has 130 friends, but I'd venture to say that most of you reading this have far more than that, so this will help streamline your Facebooking experience..


One last thing: If you're one of those people who's still into "poking" your friends, you can still do that. Go to your friend's profile, and the Poke option is listed under a gear cog dropdown menu next to "Message."
