Edit Skype Video Calls for Free

I am not a big Skype user but I had to go through some installation process. We assembled some wired machines and person who was thousands miles away gave the instruction through Skype. I am sure will come cross many situations like that. How cool it is. Now you do not really have to go to the place to fix something. Give instructions and watch how they do it.

I knew that I am not going to remember all these things so I want to record the Skype conversations for later reference.There is no need to buy the product to watch the video that we record.

When I start Skype conversation, it automatically runs from the background and request to send a message to the other person. You have option to send it or not. Then Vodburner will start recording the conversation as you go and once you end the conversation you will have the option to edit the video. I used same feature to convert the video in to make it playable in media player. 

VodBurner is quite nice tool to record Skype video conversations. Even though it is not completely free software it does not have crazy limitation that will disappoint at the end of the process. Only limitation I have come cross is that it will add its watermark for the edited video.

Recover Stored Passwords from Firefox with FirePasswordViewer

Utility to decrypt and recover stored passwords and logins stored by FireFox Web Browse in the local computer system.

FirePasswordViewer is the GUI version of FirePassword tool designed to decrypt sign-on secrets stored by Firefox. Firefox records the login details such as username and password for every website authorized by the user and stores them in the sign-on database file in encrypted format.


FirePasswordViewer tool can decrypt and display these secrets on the same lines as the Firefox built-in password manager. The main advantage of FirePasswordViewer is that it does not require Firefox to be running. This is very useful in recovering the sign-on details when Firefox fails to function properly.

Also FirePasswordViewer can be used to display sign-on secrets from different profile (other than current profile) as well as from the different operating system altogether. This greatly helps forensic investigators who can copy the relevant files from the target system to test machine and view the credentials offline without affecting the target environment. In addition, you will be able to save the shown sign-on information to a file in standard HTML format and you can store it for later reference.

Mozilla Firefox Addons for All Internet Users

Customize and supercharge your Web browsing experience with these awesome Firefox Add-ons!

In this post i'll show you some Firefox addons that are useful to anyone who uses the Web. These extensions make surfing the net, reading email, bookmarking links, and talking to friends easier.

Here is the list of my Top Mozilla Firefox Addons for All Internet Users :

Music Addons

1. FoxyTunes - If you listen to music while you surf, you might find FoxyTunes useful. It embeds audio player controls (play, pause, etc) into Firefox. It can be in the status bar or a toolbar. Supported media players include iTunes, Pandora, Windows Media, Winamp, and lots more.

2. TwittyTunes - Quickly post what you’re listening to (or watching) on Twitter. (Also see TwitterFox for more general purpose Twitter updates.)


Webmail Addons

3. Better Gmail 2 - This addon is a compilation of a bunch of Greasemonkey (required) scripts that enhance Gmail. For the full list of features and screenshots, visit the Better Gmail homepage at Lifehacker.

4. Gmail Manager lets you manage multiple Gmail accounts at the same time. You’re logged into multiple accounts, and get updates via the a new dropdown added to your navigation bar.

5. Yahoo Mail Notifier - If you just want to know when you get new Yahoo mail without all the other features of the Yahoo Toolbar, this addon is for you. It places a small icon in the status bar with the number of new unread messages in your inbox.


Surf the Web

6. Fire Gestures - With this extension, you can use your mouse for much more than clicking. For example, by holding down the right mouse button and moving the mouse to the left a bit, Firefox will go to the previous page as if you had clicked the Back button.

7. GooglePreview Adds a thumbnail preview next to the Google search results page. Being a visually oriented person who spends a lot of time at Google, this addon is one of my favorites. I like seeing what the linked website looks like before I click through.


Social Networking

8. LinkedIn Companion - Integrates with your webmail (eg., Gmail, Yahoo) and adds a button you can click next to contacts with LinkedIn profiles. Adds a dropdown menu of things you can do with LinkedIn — search jobs, search profiles, add a connection, etc. Useful for people who use LinkedIn extensively for business networking.

9. Facebook Toolbar - Always be on Facebook, literally, by embedding it into your Firefox! This toolbar lets you search Facebook, pop open a sidebar and quickly connect with friends, and get notifications while you surf. With the toolbar, you don’t have to periodically check back in at the Facebook website because you’ll always be connectecd.


Bookmarking

10. Del.icio.us - Del.icio.us is the original social bookmarking service. It lets you bookmark links and organize them by tags. Because it’s a Web based service, all your bookmarks sync up on all your computers. The del.icio.us addon provides buttons to quickly bookmark and tag a webpage, and displays the last few links you’ve bookmarked.

11. Foxmarks - Foxmarks synchronizes your Firefox bookmarks across all the computers you use. Bookmarks are synced via a central location at my.foxmarks.com.

12. Fast Dial creates a page with thumbnail links to your top 15 bookmarks. Links are assigned to numbers, so you can also use the keyboard shortcut ALT- to quickly jump to one of your fast dial websites.


Block Online Advertising

13. Adblock Plus block banner ads from being displayed. The killer feature of this addon is the subscription list. When you install Adblock Plus, you are asked if you want to subscribe to a list of ad servers to be blocked. Choose Yes. The list is maintained by someone else, so by doing nothing other than installing this extension, you’ve eliminated 90% of Web advertising that you used to see.


Other Great Mozilla Firefox Add-ons

14. Adblock Plus
15. ChatZilla
16. Google Preview
17. Linkification
18. Flashgot
19. FlagFox
20. SwitchProxy Tool
21. ShowIP
22. Timetracker
23. IE Tab

How to use Trial Version software forever without Expiration

Here is the list of my top softwares that will stop time of each trial version software:

1. Time Stopper

Time Stopper is a software which can stop a time for try out version software. When you stop the time you can use your try-out versions forever. When you stop the time of a try-out version using this Time Stopper it works via this Time Stopper. Real time and date run normally on your system. You can use any number of try-out version softwares with this software.


How it Works?

* Open Time Stopper
* Browse and select .exe of required trial software
* Choose the new date (Any date which occurs in between your trial software time period before expiration, suggestion: set it to two days before trial software expiration date).
* Choose any time
* Click open software on your selected date

If you wish to create an icon for your modified trial software and do not want to open Time stopper every time then use last button in software to create new icon. open that trial software after that from that newly created icon always otherwise it can expire.

Download Time Stopper | Size: 844 KB

2. RunAsDate

RunAsDate is a small utility that allows you to run a program in the date and time that you specify. This utility doesn't change the current system date and time of your computer, but it only injects the date/time that you specify into the desired application.
You can run multiple applications simultaneously, each application works with different date and time, while the real date/time of your system continues to run normally.


How does it work ?

RunAsDate intercepts the kernel API calls that returns the current date and time (GetSystemTime, GetLocalTime, GetSystemTimeAsFileTime), and replaces the current date/time with the date/time that you specify.

Download RunAsDate | Size: 21.3 KB

3. Date Cracker 2000

Date Cracker 2000 is a program which removes the date protection from programs which expire after a specific date. It is most useful for shareware or trial versions of software. Note that this program should be used for educational purposes only. Another interesting software developed allows you to remove passwords from MS Access '95 or '97 MDB files.

Software like Date Cracker 2000 helps two kinds of people.

Software Users...........
Software Developers...

Software Users are benefited by a great extent because they can use a shareware or trial version of a software indefinitely. This means that most software which expire after a certain date can be used well after that date (almost indefinitely). The key is to run the software via Date Cracker 2000 when you get a demo / trial version of any software.

Software Developers should be aware of such programs (trust me, they are!). They must devise better algorithms so that their software will be protected better. But the fact is, most software developers do not mind their software (Trial versions/ Demo's) being run by such programs....while some developers cannot do anything about their software after releasing it. But they can ensure that later versions of their software should have better date protection. Of course, there will be always be a newer version of Date Cracker 2000.


How it Works?

* Start by opening Date Cracker
* Click Add
* Enter the description for your program
* Click the [...] button at the bottom of the screen
* Search for the executable file of the trial program
* Set the Simulated Run Date past the trial expiration date
* Click Run

That’s it, you’re now on your way to using your favorite trials hassle free.

A Few Tips:

The key is to run the software via Date Cracker when you run a trial for the first time.
Dates should be entered in full e.g. 2090/06/30

Download Date Cracker 2000 | Size: 1.5 MB

Remotely Control Any Computer in The World Using TeamViewer

TeamViewer is a good program to quickly share desktops with another user. The free version will let you create secure sessions and control what you show to your contact over the internet.

Some time ago i was looking for a software which is able to establish a connection to another pc through internet. Many different remote access softwares exist, but not all are equally fast, reliable, and secure. I found an amazing software "Teamviewer" which lets you remote control, desktop sharing and file transfer that works behind any firewall and NAT proxy. This software has amazing features like file transfer, presentation, remote support, vpn. The best of all is that this software provides remote support. When you try to help your friends with problems in their computer via phone or instant messaging most of the times they don't understand what you are saying and you need to spend precious time explaining them. Using this software you can fix any computer connected to the internet just by sitting in front of your computer. You just have to install this software on your system and ask the people on the other side to install the same and tell u the ID and password. Once you enter the id and password you will be able to connect to their system. People on the other side can watch what you are doing on their computer screen and can learn how to fix the problem themselves if it happens again. You can also record sessions and play them back afterward. These can then be used as tutorials or to go back on what you've done in previous sessions. The login id and password will be valid only for one session.


Here are some key features of TeamViewer:

* Remote Control without Installation
With TeamViewer you can remotely control any PC anywhere on the Internet. No installation is required, just run the application on both sides and connect - even through tight firewalls.

* Remote Presentation of Products, Solutions and Services
The second TeamViewer mode allows you to present your desktop to a partner. Show your demos, products and presentations over the Internet within seconds - live from your screen.

* File Transfer
TeamViewer comes with integrated file transfer that allows you to copy files and folders from and to a remote partner - which also works behind firewalls

* Works behind Firewalls
The major difficulties in using remote control software are firewalls and blocked ports, as well as NAT routing for local IP addresses.
If you use TeamViewer you don't have to worry about firewalls: TeamViewer will find a route to your partner.

* Highest Security Standard
TeamViewer is a very secure solution. The commercial TeamViewer versions feature completely secure data channels with key exchange and RC4 session encoding, the same security standard used by https/SSL.

* No Installation Required
To install TeamViewer no admin rights are required. Just run the software and off you go...

* High Performance
Optimized for connections over LANs AND the Internet, TeamViewer features automatic bandwidth-based quality selection for optimized use on any connection.

* Very Competitively Priced, Free Versions available
TeamViewer offers a lot of value for low prices, there even is a free version for non-commercial use available.


TeamViewer


Softwares like TeamViewer can be easyly used for hacking. Imagine that this is something like a Trojan (This isn't exactly a Trojan), a Trojan installs on the victims computer without his knowledge and runs in the background which gives you access to his computer. This software proves that hacking is not impossible. Anyway i'll explain about this way of hacking in some other post.

Download and Play Sony PlayStation 1 (PSX) Games on your PC

Play all of your favorite PS 1 games on your computer using ePSXe Emulator.

Remember Final Fantasy VIII? Remember Eden, Bahamuth, Shiva?? Or Suikoden II, Parasite Eve, Lunar, Rayman, Hercules, Xenogears?? Those where old, good times. Ever wish to play those games all over again or maybe finish them for the first time? You can install and run the necessary software to turn your PC into a virtual PlayStation. Today there are a lot of tutorials on the net about how to download and play PlayStation 1 games on your computer. The bad thing is that only few of the tutorials are really working and the others are not completely finished or aren't explained good and you can't understand them. Here i'll write a full tutorial to run PSX games on your computer. I will be posting links where to get emulator, ISOs and more!

Lets start:

1. Download ePSXe (PS1 emulator)

First of all you need to Download ePSXe. Here you can download ePSXe emulator for Linux and Windows. I recommend you to download version v.1.6.0 or lower (don't download any beta version).


2. Download plugins

Plugins will be necessary. You can download plugins for both OS, Windows and Linux. There are three plugins you basically need to run the program.
Go to http://www.ngemu.com/psx/epsxe.php?action=plugins and then press Ctrl+F and download the following plugins:

Graphic Plugins:

P.E.Op.S. Soft GPU (v1.18b)
Pete's GPU Plugins (v1.77)

Sound Plugins:

Eternal SPU (v1.41)
P.E.Op.S. DSound (v1.9)

CD Plugins (To make Game Rips such as ISOs and CDs run on ePSXe):

CDR Mooby (v2.8)
P.E.Op.S. CDR (v1.4)

You can also download Misc Plugins which allows you to play over the net, but those aren't necessary.

Extract the files into the "plugins" folder in the ePSXe. (It's NOT in C://Program Files...! Remember the path when you download the ePSXe program in the first place? And you double click on it to run it? Go there and you will find the "plugins" folder)

3. Download BIOS

Now it's time to get the BIOS in order to play the games. You'll need a file called scph1001.dll. Here is a website where you can download your BIOS http://dragonballarena.gamesurf.it/english/media/giochi/psx.php.


After the download is complete, place it on the "bios" folder in the ePSXe.

4. Download your game!!

You can type your game on google and search for it, or get torrent on isohunt, mininova or anything... Here are some good sites to download your PSX ISOs:
http://www.emuparadise.org/roms/psx/
http://www.romulation.net/PSX/
http://romhustler.net/roms/psx
http://nitroroms.com/roms/Sony_PSX
http://www.rom-freaks.net/psx-isos-0-asc-name-.html

5. Configuration

Before you start using ePSXe you need to configure some settings. Select the icon that looks like a PSX controller ( that's the emulator itself ) and a window that says ePSXe should pop up. Now choose the Config tab and you are ready to configure the plugins and the bios that you've downloaded.

Config - Video

• Choose the plugin that you want to use. I use Pete's DX6 D3D Driver. Now choose Configure

• Choose the resolution, or whether you want to play it in a window. If you are wondering if the resolution depends on your computer performance... I personally choose window. Now on Default Settings (bottom-left) click Nice and OK.

Config - Sound

• Choose the plugin. I use P.E.Op.S. DSound Audio Driver -> Configure

• Choose following options:

Mode : 2
Volume : 1
Reverb : 2
Interpolation: 3

Leave the rest as default and OK.


Config - Cdrom

• Choose the plugin. I use P.E.Op.S. CDR Driver

• Don't need to configure anything there.. leave it as default.

Config - Bios

• Locate the scph1001.dll and click OK

Config - Game Pad - Pad 1

• Adjust it at your convenience...

Now your all set and you can start playing some PSX Games!!!

File - Run ISO and Locate the PS1 game you want to play. If in the folder that you've downloaded there are more than one file, choose the one with the bigger size.


Enjoy Gaming!


If you don't want to spend much of your precious time, searching for plugins, bios and all other necessary stuff, you can download my ePSXe with all these stuff in it. Now all you have to do is just to configure the settings and you are ready to play.

Download ePSXe with All Plugins and BIOS in it.

3. Thunderbird - Thunderbird is a good quality graphical email client that uses the GTK toolkit but is not tied to any particular desktop environment.

4. KMail is the email component of Kontact, the integrated personal information manager of KDE.

5. Evolution - Evolution is the most feature-rich of the mailers we looked at – at least as they were set up out of the box – largely because of the comprehensive range of plugins provided, although the one to play audio attachments could get a little tiresome, especially if deployed in a large office.

Features include slideshows, annotation, KIPI plugin support for manipulating images, and boolean searches.
