Read Comments On YouTube Without Losing Video Playback Focus [Chrome]

One problem with watching videos on YouTube is losing screen focus from the playback as you scroll down to read comments. YouTube As It Should Be, a Chrome extension, offers a new way to browse and watch video content on YouTube. The extension works around the losing focus issue by elegantly adding scroll bars to related video content and comments block, eliminating the need to scroll away from video player to view comments and related content. Furthermore, a toolbar with forward/backward, autoplay and shuffle buttons is added to the bottom of the page. You can also view thumbnail previews of all related videos by hovering your mouse over all video clips.
With this extension, you can watch the video and read comments at the same time. The comments section gets a scrollbar of its own, shrinking the panel from its original size so that the video never moves out of focus. A toolbar with useful buttons is also added to YouTube Videos, allwoing you to switch between previous/next video, auto play and enable shuffle. Moreover, the thumbnail previews allow you to quickly skim through a video’s content without actually needing to play it, thus making it easier to find content of your interest.

Scroll bars are also added to the related videos panel, so you can easily scroll down them while continuing to watch the currently-playing video.

This is quite a handy extension that improves your YouTube video watching experience. It gives YouTube an elegant look and lets you enjoy videos and comments at the same time. Visit the link below, try it out, and let us know what you think.

zeZebra: P2P File Transfer With Bandwidth Control & Contact Management

There are a lot of P2P file sharing applications available on the internet, but most of them are slow, unsecure, sometimes limited in terms of file size that can be shared, or too difficult and complicated to send files to other users. If you are looking for a tool that’s free, simple, fast and secure, check out zeZebra. It is an application with eye candy interface that lets you transfer large files in a simple and easy-to-understand way. It enables you to send a file of any size to any person, and allows you to adjust transfer speed and number of simultaneous transfers, thus giving you total control over aspect like bandwidth usage, target recipients and other such parameters. If you send a lot of files to the same people, the application has a contacts manager to quickly send the files instead of adding the information every time.
When you run the application for the first time, enter your name and email address to access the main interface. This information will be used to identify you during the file transfer process. The main interface of zeZebra has Send New File button at the top, and zeZebra menu at the top left, while the files being transferred and information about the transfer such as Upload/Download Speeds etc, appears at the bottom.

To send a file, click Send New File, choose the service and enter the contact details to send a download link.

When you send a file, the recipient will have to download zeZebra first to receive the file. Once the recipient has installed zeZebra, it will automatically detect the link and begin the file transfer.

The application requires the approval of recipient before beginning the file transfer, and allows both parties to pause and resume downloads at any time.

Click zeZebra and select Settings to edit General, Plugins, Traffic, Profile and Contacts. It lets you toggle outlook plugin, adjust transfer speed and number of simultaneous transfers, edit profile and manage contacts.

It is worth noting that the program requires both users to be online at the same time, since it’s primarily a P2P file transfer service that does not upload your data anywhere. zeZebra works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

ServiceCommander: Manage & Monitor Windows Services On Networked PCs

Some days ago, we covered Windows Service Monitor, an open source utility that lets you monitor, start and stop user-specified services directly from the system tray without having to open the Windows Task Manager or Service Control Manager. Today, we have another tool, ServiceCommander, that allows you to Start, Stop, Pause, Resume or Restart selected services on any computer on your network from the system tray. What sets ServiceCommander apart from the formerly-reviewed tool, is its ability to control and manipulate services on networked PCs, a highly useful feature for many system/network administrators. The program lets you easily add services to the monitoring list, and displays the control functions of each service in the system tray. It also enables you to start, stop or restart all added services at once, as well as direct access to the default Windows applications of Service, Event Viewer and Task Manager.

Enable Functional Table Of Contents For Any Website [Chrome]

When browsing through blogs and content-rich websites, how many times have you actually read everything? It becomes rather tiring to find the right material, especially if the website in question comes with a lot of text. TableOfContents is a Google Chrome extension that makes navigation of webpages easier by allowing you to toggle the Table-of-Contents (ToC) for the said page. It creates an expandable Table-of-Contents list, which conveniently allows you to access the headings of lengthy articles.

Friendeye: Switch To User-Specified Screen Brightness With A Click

Back in 2009, we covered F.lux, a cross platform tool that adjusts the color contrast of your computer screen according to the time of day. Color contrast and brightness are the two basic settings that effect, and put strain on, your eyes. You can especially feel the strain on your eyes during night time, if you use the same brightness settings as day. Just like F.lux changes the contrast, Friendeye is a portable screen filtering application that lets you manually select a brightness level for your computer screen. It allows you to switch to the user-specified screen brightness level with just a click. More about Friendeye after the break.
Usage is extremely simple. Just run the application’s executable, and it will start in your system tray. The system tray icon responds to the left and right mouse clicks in different ways. If you right-click the application icon, it will take you to the settings page, where you can adjust the percentage of brightness you want to be dimmed. For instance, if you select 75% in the settings page, upon activation, you will only have 25% brightness left on your screen. To activate the application, just left-click with your mouse on the system tray icon of the application, and the brightness will be instantly dimmed. Click the icon again to restore brightness.

Warning: Do not set the dim level to 100%; it will make the screen go completely black, and you will have to restart your system to restore the brightness settings to normal. Friendeye is an open source application, and works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Get Dial Pad In iOS Notification Center To Make Phone Calls [Cydia]

Before notification center came along in iOS 5, Android had a bit of an advantage in terms of usability, mainly due to the availability of widgets. However, now, using the Notification Center provided by iOS, users can do a lot through that part of the platform, especially if you have a jailbroken device. We have covered a number of Notification Center widgets in the past, like our post on the best available NC widgets for iOS 5, and today, we bring you another useful addition to the arsenal of available tweaks dedicated to Notification Center. NCInstaCall is a Cydia tweak that allows jailbreak users to make phone calls right from within the notification center.

 
NCInstaCall is a free tweak, which can be downloaded from the Big Boss repo over at the Cydia store. Once you have done that, don’t try looking for any changes in your iPhone’s notification center. Even though the tweak does not have an app icon displayed on the Springboard, there is a dedicated menu for it in the Notification Center’s settings. So, after installation of NCInstaCall, you have to manually enable it. This can be done as follows.

1. Go to your iPhone’s Settings app.
2. Tap Notification Center menu.
3. You will find the tweak’s settings in that area. Just enable it, and you are done.

Once the tweak has been enabled, a new widget will appear in the Notification Center. Tapping it opens up a dial pad in the notification area, which is pretty similar to the stock keypad offered in iOS. Of course, there is no address book support in NCInstaCall, and you will have to dial any number just from your memory, but still, that is better than having nothing at all, and it’s not like you have to pay for the tweak. So, if you are on iOS 5, and have access to the Cydia store, do give the tweak a try.

Weezo: Share, Transfer And Gain Remote Access To Hard Drive Content

Weezo is a remote access/file sharing application that lets you gain remote access to the content on your computer, such as photos, music, videos and documents. You can either access the items in your computer from a remote location, or share them with your friends with safe, immediate and unlimited file sharing ensured. Weezo takes the concept of file sharing, and simplifies the process to such an extent that its just a matter of sharing a link and password to give your friends access to your hard drive folders. Other than sharing data, music, videos, documents etc, the application also allows you to give remote desktop access, remote startup and shutdown, and lets others view your webcam in their browsers (with your permission, of course). Even that’s not all, as Weezo is not only a file sharing service, but also lets you send whole folders and stream content from your computer. Read on to find out more about Weezo.
Before you can start using this program, you will have to configure the application. The configuration process is made quite easy by a very helpful Weezo wizard, that guides you through the whole process. First, enter your Account Name, Email address, Password and click Validate.

While configuring Weezo, the Windows firewall will ask you for permissions at some point. Click Allow Access to let the application communicate on Private and Public networks.

Once the configuration process is complete, you will be asked to start Weezo in Simple Mode or Expert Mode. It is advised to select Simple Mode when using the application for the first time.

The application does not come with any difficult options or configuration menus, and sharing content is pretty easy. The Resources pane at the left has different categories, such as Files, Music Sharing, Video Sharing, Webcam, Multimedia, Photo Album etc, while the sharing settings appear in the right pane. To share a file or folder, choose a category in the left pane (we selected Music Sharing), enter a folder name under Name, and drag the files and folders that you want to share under the area titled Files. A URL Link and Password will be automatically generated by the application. The URL Link can be shared via simply copying it to clipboard, generate a QR-code and by using Email, Facebook, Twitter or AddThis.

Share the link with someone along with the password to enable access to your files and folders. The web-app of Weezo lets you view documents, play videos and listen to music directly form the browser, eliminating the need to download most multimedia content to the hard drive.

All the other categories are as easy to configure as Music Sharing. Just select a category from the left side and follow the same process to share them with others. Weezo also allows sending content to various recipients. Select the Send pane from the right side, choose the folder that you want to send and click Create to create a New Direct Link to download the file.

Weezo works on all versions of Windows.

CoRD: Better Alternative To Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection [Mac]

Yesterday, we reviewed Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (MRDC), a Mac app that allows you to remotely connect to any Windows PC and access it. One of our readers sounded off in the comments about CoRD, citing it was better than the aforementioned app, and we took a crack at it. CoRD is a free, open source Mac app that allows you to connect with any Windows PC, and is similar in functionality to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (MRDC). It allows you to control how audio is played, lets you access files on your Mac through the Windows PC you are connected to (without breaking the connection), and control just about everything on it. With both apps being so similar, and with the exact same price (read free), the deal maker for us was how fast the changes made on the other end were reflected on the Mac, and Cord definitely performed better. Granted, there was the minor glitch or two, but the only major inconvenience we faced was that the screen never froze, which was fairly common with Microsoft’s app.
Once installed, you can start adding any number of systems to access from your Mac. Both the Mac you’re using, and the PC you’re trying to access, should be on the same network, and you must know the IP address of the PC. To connect a system, click the Servers button on the top right corner of the app window. A slider will open, click the plus button on the lower left of the panel. In the window that opens, enter the system name and the system’s IP address.

Once you’ve entered the system’s name and its IP address, you can customize the screen size, audio settings, and whether the desktop background should be visible or not.

To create a connection, double click a configured connection from the Servers pane, and the app will connect with the system.

You can set these preferences separately for each system you connect to, or enter a default setting from the app’s preferences. Go to the Default tab and select default settings for display, audio and printing. To make one or more disks on your Mac available through the connection on your Windows PC, go to the Forwarding tab and add it.

While both apps are similar in functionality, the make or break in a remote access desktop app is often on how stable a connection it creates, and CoRD definitely appears to have the upper hand, as far as our tests show. Since they’re both free, you can easily try them out and pick a favorite for yourself.

QuickText: Visual Studio ReSharper Like Text Expansion For Notepad++

QuickText is a multi-purpose text expansion/text substitution plugin for Notepad++, that lets you create tags for most frequently used code modules and structures, so that you don’t have to write them over and over again. In a nut shell, QuickText is to Notepad++, what ReSharper is to Visual Studio. While it offers a convenient configuration console to define the tags and their substitution text, you can easily make changes to defined substitution text, and edit and modify ‘tags’ text. The Tab key is a trigger key. Once you’ve defined the tags and substitution text, all you need is to write the tag, press the trigger key, and it will replace the tag text with defined substitution text.
QuickText supports a wide range of programming languages, including HTML, PHP, C, C++, XML, ASP, SQL, VB, Objective-C, Java, Fortran, Perl, Assembly and so on. If you’re a web developer and hate to press ‘greater than’ and ‘less than’ keys on keyboard while writing HTML, PHP, XML etc tags , QuickText will change the way you define tags in HTML and other markup languages; you can associate head tag with <head>, and /head with </head> in its Options dialog, Once set up, just write head and then press Tab key, it will immediately replace it with <head>. Similarly, you can associate as many tags as you want to save not only the time, but also the effort involved in complying with programming language syntax.
Since it doesn’t impose a limit on lines or characters that can be substituted, you can define an entire code module, such as Java class declaration with indented code block and starting and ending parenthesis, with tag to quickly replace it with defined code module. QuickText comes with both Unicode and ANSI versions. Before you begin installation, bring up About Notepad++ dialog from ? menu, and check the Notepad++ edition. If it’s UNICODE, unzip the download package, and copy QuickText.UNI.dll to Notepad++/plugins folder, whereas for ANSI edition, copy QuickText.ANSI.dll to Notepad++/plugins folder.

Once correct plugin version is copied, launch Notepad++, and open Options from QuickText menu, which is accessible from Plugins.

In QuickText Configuration, just pick the language from left sidebar and then enter the Tag name. Now, you have to enter the substitution text that will replace the tag text. The screenshot below shows if-else construct tag for Java language. Likewise, you can create tags for just about any language of your choice.

Moreover, if you want to create text expansion function for normal text, choose Normal Text from Languages, and then add text tag followed by substitution text. Clicking OK will save the changes made to text snippet repository.

Since QuickText deals with saved text snippets separately according to the defined programming language, you can create multiple snippets with same name for different programming languages. It first checks the file type, and then replaces the text snippet. This means you can create tag by the name of Class for Java, C, C++, VB and other programming languages without having to worry about text replacement conflicts.

Sadly, it doesn’t support defining text placeholders, which would’ve made it even more useful, but it brings the most powerful text substitution controls for application developers. If you use Notepad++ for your coding projects, we recommend using this extension to speed up the development process.
It supports Notepad++ 5.4 and higher. Testing was carried out on 5.9.3.

WordPress v2.0 For Android Brings Revamped UI, Easier Text Editing & More

WordPress is certainly among the most extensively used blogging tools and online Content Management Systems out there. The official WordPress client for Android has been around in the Android Market for quite some time now, but compared to the website itself, said client was a far cry in terms of the editing features that it offered. However, things have changed quite drastically with the recent update that the app has received. The updated (v2.0) WordPress client comes packed with a brand new Dashboard, post editor and Quick Action toolbar with rich text editing options as well as full support for Android tablets. Details to follow.


The new dashboard displays all the core WordPress features and is accessible from almost anywhere within the app’s UI via a button that sits in the top-right corner of the screen. Among other options on the bar at the top of the app’s homescreen, you have the choice of switching between multiple blogs from the dropdown menu, and refresh the app’s content manually.

The aforementioned Quick Action toolbar remains visible just above the keyboard while you’re editing your posts, while in previous versions, you had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to find them. Not only does the new toolbar make it extremely easy to edit text and add required media content, it comes packed with a few new options as well, such as inserting quotation marks and page breaks. Tapping the camera icon on this toolbar lets you capture fresh photos or videos, import existing media from the gallery, and add it to the post. For each image that you add, you are presented with the choice to rename it, insert a caption, adjust its alignment and dimensions. Each post that you create can also be previewed before publishing, that is, you can view what the post will look like on the blog itself, and determine if you need to make any changes to the format.


The download link and the QR code provided below will take you to the app’s Android Market page.

Movie360 For iPhone: Capture Videos With 13 Great Real-Time Effects

We all have a cameraman hidden somewhere inside us, who wants to capture the world from his own perspective. Some of us want to make a cool documentary about life on campus, others want to bring the local life under the spotlight, but with a good eye for detail, you also need an exceptional camera that will make your dream movie leave an impression on anybody who watches it. From the team behind Camera360 for iOS comes Movie360, an app that lets you record videos with thirteen amazing real-time effects, and up to a length of two hours per clip.


The app’s interface is fluid and to-the-point. Select an effect from below and tap the record button to start shooting. The app allows you to switch to another effect in the middle of a recording. You don’t even need to pause to switch effects. Like in the stock Camera app, you can switch between front and rear cameras and toggle the camera LED (that is, if your iDevice has one).
 
The app has a good-looking built-in 3D browser that allows you to play and delete your recorded videos or copy them to the Camera Roll. The app can record videos in three levels of quality.The video quality is set to Low by default. To switch to High or Medium quality, tap the settings button in the top-right corner of the app. The settings screen also lets you set the app to auto-save clips to Camera Roll.
At High quality, the app records videos at a resolution of 480×360, which is much lower than the highest resolution at which certain iDevices can capture videos, but the results of the applied effects are, nevertheless, impressive.
The app is available for free on the iTunes App Store and can be downloaded from the link provided below

Add ‘Extended Version’ & ‘Hash Checksum Info’ In File Properties

The massive world of internet contains tons of applications, tools and software. Sometimes, it may happen that you are not be able to find which one is a fabricated tool, and which comes straight from the developer. Developers mostly generate the Hash of a download bundle, which is quite useful in checking the file integrity of something that you are about to download. Previously, we covered Hash generators such as HashSlash and SFV Ninja, stand alone applications that generate Hashes and check the integrity of files. FilePropsMan is a Windows Explorer shell extension that adds two tabs, namely Extended Version Information and File Hash Information, to the Windows Explorer File Properties menu. It lets you view deatiled version information about the file included by the developer, as well as generating CRC32, MD5 and SHA-1 Hash codes to verify against the ones provided by the developer.
After the installation of FilePropsMan, you might have to restart your system once to be able to view the two new tabs in file properties. The first tab is named Ext. Version info (Extended Version Information), that allows you to view the File Version, Description, Copyright Information and other information such as Comments, Company Name, File Version, Product Name, License etc.

The second new tab that will be added is named Hash Information. It lets you calculate Hash functions using CRC32, MD5 and SHA-1 checksum protocols, and copies them from within the tab to compare them with the ones provided by the developer on the product page. If the codes match, that means the files are in their original state. If the codes differ, it means that the files have been tampered with and are not safe to download.

FilePropsMan works on all versions of Windows.

Start Menu 7: A Transparent, Customizable, Easy-To-Navigate Start Menu

With every new release of the Windows operating system came along a lot of changes in its interface. One of the most important menus, the Windows Start Menu, has also gone through a lot of UI changes over the years. Even after all those changes, it is still a bit difficult to find the desired items in the Start Menu, and it is even more difficult to add custom folders or categories to the menu to organize your items.

How to remove Malware (reported by Chrome) from Blogger in 5 minutes!

Have Chrome ever reported the existence of malicious software (malware) on your Blogger-powered blog before?

The reason why I posed the above question today is because I’m seeing more and more Blogger-powered blogs that have such warnings reported by Chrome and Chrome happens to be my preferred internet browser of choice. The sight is disturbing but what is more disturbing is the fact that some bloggers didn’t pay much attention to such malware reports! What were they thinking?!

I can give you plenty of reasons why bloggers should pay serious attention to the existence of malicious software (malware) on their blogs but I will only list 3 today.

Malicious software (Malware) makes you lose traffic

Take a good look at the following screenshot. Chrome clearly said that my computer may catch a virus if I visit a blog that is quite popular here in my part of the world. Chrome even provides me with a big ‘Go back’ button so that I can click on it and go back to the last safe zone. Just imagine how many potential visitors the 'infected' blog had lost!

Bad news travel fast!

Yes, bad news does travel very fast and soon people will be talking about the existence of malicious software (malware) on your blog. The news might end up on social networks and soon people might get scared to visit your blog. There goes your blog and your reputation as a blogger down the drain!

Malicious software (Malware) gives you distinct 'recognition', recognized by major search engines

Take a look at the following screenshot. Once you have malicious software (malware) on your blog, failure to remove it in a timely manner will be ‘punished’ severely by major search engines such as Google. Your blog will be labeled harmful and the label is clearly seen in search results pages (SERP). If you are searching for something via Google and stumbles upon search results with such warnings attached, would you go and visit that blog?



Alright! I have given you enough reasons and I hope you are now convinced that malicious software (malware) is not something that should be taken lightly. Now come and learn how to remove malicious software (malware) from your Blogger-powered blog in 5 minutes.

Yes, it is that easy!

How to remove malicious software (malware) from Blogger

Once you saw warnings such as the one shown earlier on Chrome, note down the ‘element’ identified as malicious. In this particular example, the malicious element originates from another blog (nasionalis1946.blogspot.com).



Go back to Chrome and visit your ‘infected’ blog. Quickly view the live page source of your blog and use Chrome’s ‘Find’ tool (hit Ctrl+F) to look for ‘nasionalis1946.blogspot.com’ in your live page source.



Once found, find out how it got there in the first place. See if it is coming from an installed widget or gadget. Based from past experience, most of the time it did came from one! In the example shown down below, the link to that malicious blog is generated after the blogger behind the ‘infected’ blog added it to his or her existing list of blogs in the Blog List gadget.



Thankfully, this is pretty easy to resolve. The blogger behind the ‘infected’ blog can simply edit his Blog List gadget from his or her Blogger Layout dashboard and remove the blog that is causing the ‘infection’ from the list. Everything should be fine after the removal has been made and the new list saved back to Blogger!

There you are! Nasty malware removal for Blogger in just 5 minutes! :)
