Beware of Image spam

After a relatively long

hiatus, image spam

is making a massive

comeback in newer and

improved forms that

can evade antispam

fi lters. Rather than

clickable links, these

messages now have

obfuscated URLs hidden

as images or text, with

random white spaces

and masking characters

inserted in them.

The images even instruct users to type a URL into their

browser's address bar.

Subject lines as usual rely on deliberately

misspelled phrases promising sex enhancers and cheap

pharmaceuticals to tempt users to click on them. Multiple

similar subject lines from IP addresses spread across

many countries indicate a botnet of compromised PCs is

at work here. Globally, threats including spam have risen

dramatically in the year 2009.

Use Full Photo in Orkut rather than Cropping

Recently I found orkut removing "Use Original" button while we change our dp ie profile pic after some research I found that it can be fixed using a trick of javascript.

• Go to Edit Profile & Click Change Photo , then Upload your Image!
• After Uploading , dont Click anything.
• Use the Javascript below in the addressbar (Place where we type www.orkut.com)

javascript:with(($ = (this.orkutFrame||window).document.forms)[$.length - 1])action = "/EditSummary.aspx?apw=9999&aph=9999&apdw=9999&apdh=9999&Action.cropProfilePhoto" ,submit();void(8)

• After Pasting it , Click Enter.
• Some Error like "Bad, bad user! No donut for you" will come..
• Never Mind that.
• Now Click your home page, the uploaded Picture will be fully Sized in your Orkut Account.

Find Who is invisible in Gmail chat

So it has been always a intresting query to me that how to find out a person invisible in gmail chat. Tough GTalk doesnot provide the facility of being invisible but GMail do. Now What you need to do:
Step 1.
Sign in with your GTalk.
Step 2.
Seach the contact by typing his/her name in the search box.
Step 3.
Once you got the contact click the entry to open chat window.
Step 4.
Click the drop down arrow under close button and "Go off the record".
Step 5.
Now send a message to him/her.
Step 6.
if the message is saying .@gmail.com is offline and can't recieve messages right now.' then the user is logged off. If the message doesnot appear he is invisible.
Note: This trick works most of the time but may fail to work if he/she is using Google talk with third party installation tools like mobile chat applications and other ones as Meebo or Digsby.
