Omegle has became a recent favorite time pass for my hostel mates and unfortunately for my friends (for me too) who were using Ubuntu Linux OS, Omegle was not working very fine. The problem was with a privacy security warning which appeared before they connected themselves to the stranger on the other side. Though my friends on this side was least cared about PRIVACY they were unable to click the Allow Button. The message was that

Camera and Microphone access

www.blahblah.com is requesting access to your camera and microphone. If you click allow you may be recorded.

Now there is a button to Allow but it is UN-CLICKABLE 

Immediately after facing the problem we googled a lot but were unable to find a solution.

Even now though we haven’t solved it, we are able to work fine with the Camera.

Now here I will explain how to access Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager to correct the problem of “Un-Clickable”.

For getting it well you have to change a few settings of Adobe Flash Player at the Settings Manager. Now you can’t actually access this settings manager from your computer but you have to goto SettingsManager

Now you can see various options like

• Global Privacy Settings Panel
• Global Storage Settings Panel
• Global Security Settings Panel
• Global Notifications Settings Panel
• Website Privacy Settings Panel
• Website Storage Settings Panel

On clicking on these various panel options, Settings Manager which appears to be a image is seen. It’s actually your Settings Manager and not just an image. You can change the settings here. In this particular case for fixing the issue with the camera, Click Website Privacy Settings Panel.

In the website list, scroll down to find omegle.com or the site which camera is not working fine for you. After selecting the website click on ‘ Always Allow ‘. Now you won’t be asked any privacy security question at that particular website, here Omegle. So you can have comfortable chat with Strangers now.

Now this same Adobe Settings Manager Can be used to increase the Volume of recording while using flash based Webcam applications. For increasing it goto Microphone Settings.

The procedure to change the adobe flash player settings is the same in all Mac Operating systems Lion and Snow leopard, Windows 7 and Windows XP and other linux based OSs like Ubuntu, Fedora just to name a few. This is because we are not having an offline serttings manager but an online Settings manager.

The other advantage is that with mippin, you will have your webpages optimized for viewing in Mobile Browsers.

I will explain step by step about installing the plugin and Configuring with AdMob and Mippin.

1. Get your mobile version of the site registered at Mippin.

As the first step give your RSS feed URL/Website URL, Select the Layout and Customize it according to your likes.

Now for proceeding you will have to register at Mippin.com. Get it done.

2. Under the Publicize tab, give the URL  of your Mobile Webpage of your like. Give your tags. Also keep a note of the “code below”. Just Copy it into somewhere in your PC.

You will be needing the id in that code when configuring the plugin.

3. Now under the Monetize Tab, you will have to validate your website.

So copy “Mippin Feed Validation Key= XXXXXX” and publish as a post in your blog with the the copied statement as the title and content.

Then click Validate.

4. Now register for an account at AdMob. After confirming the account, login with your username and password at Admob. Click Add new Sites and App under the MARKETPLACE tab.

Now give your Mippin Site URL under the url coloumn.

Now you have to enter your admob id for getting it Click on “Here” and Click on the name of your website.

Now enter your Admob id at the coloumn at Mippin Webpage.

5.Things are almost done. Now get this Mippin plugin installed in your WordPress blog. After installation is complete go to the page of Mippin Plugin, there is a coloumn for entering Mippin id. Give the id found in the earlier code [Step2] found at the Mippin website.

6.Now just wait for a day for your ads to appear in Mippin website. Try accessing your website from the mobile.

You don’t need to manualy set the position of Mobile Ads in your website. Everything will be done by the plugin.

Best Wishes.

Just comment at the bottom if you have any trouble setting this up. I will try to help you.

I used to just wander on the WEB when I have got nothing better to do and recently during one of my strolls, I cam across a website omegle. I would suggest you to just check it out, when you just want to kill your time somehow. It’s a website where you can have a personal chat with someone complete stranger around this globe and “make friends” as it goes. Just as any other chat-rooms, girls are preferred here by everyone and mostly just after connecting you will get a question from the stranger on the other side “asl?”. And if your answer is “m 20 india” chances are high that the stranger will disconnect. Don’t misunderstand this as yet another chatrooms where all are just shouting aloud and even if you try personal chat, just after a few secs you will realize that the guy on the other side was nothing but a BOT which is trying to promote most probably a porn site promising live Cam view I had this experience often using YAHOO messenger. So just  check it out, frankly speaking, do it only if you haven’t got anything better to do !!

VISIT OMEGLE

Now Omegle has got even more better with the video chat feature enabled. You can chat with anonymous people around the world with your web-cam. If there are any problems with viewing your webcam properly, try this. Right Click on the part the screen where you camera is supposed to be working and try changing the various options.

Here is any interesting investigation about Omegle !

Will The GPU Replace The CPU Or Will It Be The Other Way Around?

Here we discuss about the coordinated and synchronized use of CPU and GPU to improve efficiency of applications even further than using either device independently. This is made possible with the help NVIDIA’s parallel computing architecture, CUDA.

Computing is evolving from “central processing” on the CPU to “co-processing” on the CPU and GPU. To enable this new computing paradigm, NVIDIA invented the CUDA parallel computing architecture that is now shipping in GeForce, ION, Quadro, and Tesla GPUs, representing a significant installed base for application developers.

CUDA parallel computing architecture which is now being shipped with GeForce, ION,Quadro and Tesla GPUs ,make the new computing paradigm possible. The CUDA architecture’s applications can now be found in Medical Simulations like in analysis of CT and MRI scan images, Fluid Dynamics Simulation, Seismic Analysis and much more. The buzz is that in the near future itself almost every application which uses video rendering will be accelerated by CUDA.

With the recent launches of Microsoft Windows 7 and Apple Snow Leopard, GPU computing has got even more better with the GPU being evolved GPGPU which stands for General Purpose Graphical Processing Unit. It’s being said that BOINC distributed computing now uses CUDA technology for it’s better efficiency.

OpenCL (Open Computing Language) and Microsoft’s DirectCompute, a new GPU Computing API are just two tools which make the developers possible to harness the power of GPU computing. A Fortran language solution is also in development which can use the power GPU computing.

When starting learning Glade, it is essential to learn the basic concepts of GTK+. Unfortunately there is a misconception that it’s enough to learn Glade for learning GUI designing rather than learning GTK+. Glade is definitely an easier way to implement GTK but it is impossible to create interface for your application with only Glade knowledge.

Official GTK+ tutorial is the best place to learn the Basic things about GTK+. Though reading the entire documentation may seem to be a herculean task, it would good to cover important topics like packing of widgets. After having a basic knowledge about GTK+, next step is having a look at the official Glade3 manual. Version that is supplied with Glade3 is outdated,you can find a simpler and more updated one here.

Now if you think, you are well and comfortable with GTK+ Basics, you will definitely want to try a real world example. Many authors provide tutorials with real world examples. I managed to find out two such, one by Micah carrick and other by Tadej Borovšak. It would be better to follow Tadej’s Tutorial as the former one does not use Glade3-3.6.7 which is latest version. Anyway you can also give a look at the tutorial by Micah. Now when you start seriously with GTK programming, never forget to visit GTK Forum for getting your doubts cleared.

Now if you are ready to spend a few bucks try to get a copy of  Foundations Of GTK development.

Here are a few other resources which would with worth giving a look though I haven’t tried them personally.

• Set your pendrive filesystem to NTFS (well FAT32 cannot handle large data). This can be done by formatting the drive and settting the filesystem to NTFS.
• Right Click the drive and click properties
• Select the hardware tab and select your drive from the list and click properties.
• Select the policies tab and change the radio button to Optimize for performance.

There you are done. Now enjoy higher data rates.

Note: Formatting will delete all your data. NTFS cannot be read by WIndows 2000 or before. Original data rates may depend on your pendrive and Operating System.

It’s a dream of every noob that even before coding the first “Hello World” program, student want to know how to code an OS. Dreams are good but this is harder than one can image. If you are so strong with your dream, rather than thinking of coding your OS from scratch better you try building your own Arch. Arch Linux is a fully customizable, light weight operating system. The CD image can be downloaded. But this is actually a very slim installation and it’s not at all usable. You will have to install the window manager, desktop environment and everything else you see on a full fledged operating system.

One of the main disadvantage of Arch Linux is it’s cryptic text based installer. So better you watch some video and get familiarised with the instalation procedure.

Here are a few video tutorials for the installation and customization of Arch Linux.

There are many occassions when you choose to save the username and password in the browser itself. This can seem like a great time saver, which will prevent you from having to repeatedly type your passwords in to the sites which you visit regularly. After all, if you’ve invested in fast O2 broadband and the latest user software, you will probably be keen to have a smooth and straightforward online experience. However, using this feature is not without its risks. These passwords can easily be viewed by anyone whose use your browser by Tools > Options > Security Tab > Saved Passwords Button > Show Passwords… Voliaaa….There you see your precious passwords, that too in plain text (with no encryption whatsoever).

You can use a simple hack and get the ever-dangerous Show Passowords button removed from Firefox.

Open a text editor and paste the following text into a new file:

button#togglePasswords { display: none !important }

Save this text file as userChrome.css in the folder called chrome in your Firefox profile folder.

The Chrome folder is located:

* Linux users:

~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/chrome

*Windows XP / Vista users:

%APPDATA%MozillaFirefoxProfilesxxxxxxxx.defaultchrome

where xxxxxxxx is a random string in both cases.

Restart your browser and you will find that it the Show Passwords button has disappeared.

I am just giving the method and you can try and verify it yourself.

In the first case I am using just the Book Name as the search query in google.

In the second method instead of using just the Book Name, use the following query for searching in Google.

intitle:index.of chm|pdf <book name>
Results are incredibly different. Instead of being taken to their Website you can access their website just as you access various directories in your computer and download it at ease.

NB: Never use this method for downloading WAREZ from illegal websites. Hope you would use it right way.

In one of the following posts I will explain about the various Advanced Search Operators which can be used while searching on internet with Google.
