Get your @Live addresses while they lost
July 19, 2007 · No Comments
To me @Live addresses are cool even though I like Gmail interface and email handling a lot better than Hotmail. It is short and sweet and stands out. When Microsoft announced that it will open up the @Live addresses I was excited. But then the news faded and there was no word for a while. In the mean time our unofficial hackers came up with a hack that will let us get @Live addresses (unofficially) by changing few parameters in the browser URL.
Here is how you do it,
- Visit the Windows Live Hotmail subscription page
- Click the “Get it free” button
- When the new page comes up, in the address bar, replace “hmnewuser.aspx” with “newuser.aspx”
- Locate and delete “&hm=1″ from the same address bar
- Hit enter, and when the page reloads it will let you create @live addresses
Enjoy!!! And make sure to get your @live addresses as soon as you can as this hack might not work forever.

Mapplets: Google Map Gadgets
July 11, 2007 · No Comments
Google just released a new feature to its Google Maps called Mapplets. Mapplets are simple/small gadgets that can be embedded into the Google Maps. Mapplets can be found under “My Maps” if you are signed-in to Google network. There are bunch of Mapplets that Google has put out to begin with including, Real Estate Search, Photos, Gas Prices, Distance Measurement Tool, Earth as Art, and Crop Circles. But when you click the “Add Content” button you get a much bigger list of all the available Mapplets and I’m sure if you don’t find the one you are looking for it would be available soon.
To check out Google Mapplets you would, obviously, have to visit Google Maps.

Bust A Name - Your domain name finder
July 10, 2007 · No Comments
Most of us run into this minor ache of coming up with the domain name that’s available. Often we try multiple times to see if the domain name is available or not to mostly end up with an irritating “domain unavailable” message. “Bust a Name” gives you a hand on this issue to help you come up with a combination of domain names based on some keywords and to check and see if those domains are available. By default it checks for .com, .net and .org which is pretty handy.
Take a look at this cool service from here.

March 13, 2007 · No Comments
Viacom, the sole brand owner of MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, Paramount Pictures and a whole lot of world famous entertainment brands, have decided to slap YouTube with a $1 billion lawsuit. We all know that people turns to YouTube for copyrighted content most of the time and the biggest hitter on this ordeal was Viacom. Given it’s diverse brands it was no surprise that Viacom took the biggest hit and now since they know the financial power of Google they wanted a share on that.
My question was, what if this has happened a year before Google bought YouTube? I’m sure Google must be aware of this risk.
