From today, Google+ is available to Google Apps user as well. Better late than never. Before you can use Google Plus, your domain administrator must enable it for your domain. If you are a domain administrator login to the domain panel and go to Organization & Users  -> Services . In there search for Google+ and enable it and save. Now all the users in that domain can use Google+.

The easy way to block ads or any other malware, pornography site and so on is by using the host file. Whenever you open any web site the domain (or FQDN) has to be converted to IP. For that it uses DNS server. But before using DNS it checks if there is an entry in the host file. So we'll put all the domain name of the adserver with wrong IP address so that they can't function. For eg: if we put Google.com as 127.0.0.1, our browser will try to find google.com in the IP address 127.0.0.1 which turns out to be our own computer and there isn't any Google's webserver in our computer. So it won't work. But filling the entry for all the ad servers manually is tedious task. This is where sites like  http://hosts-file.net/  comes into play. From this website we can download the host file that contents entry for ads, malware, torrent, pornography or subset of any. So if we want to block only ads lets download the host file for blocking ads by clicking here  or...

Are you running out of free space on phones like HTC Desire and variants? It only has about 150MB of free space and after official Gingerbread 2.3.3 update the free space has decreased. Its really frustrating seeing all those apps with 20MB+ size eating up valuable space on Android phones. Even with App2SD I had very very difficult time maintaining free space. Installing apps like Facebook, Google Plus, Google Reader would eat up all the space. Today I used link2sd to increase free space on my Android phone and now I've more than 1GB of free space for installing apps. I've been installed so so many apps now. link2sd can move your application apk, dex and lib files to second partition of your SD card and creates a symlink where necessary. Even when you mount your SD card in computer the apps in SD card will work as only the first partition will be mounted in computer. Requirements : Root MicroSD card Clockworkmod recovery to partitoin the SD ca...

I was trying to use Disk Utility program to edit some partition in my system. But I got a strange error message "invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- wrong signature 0." and couldn't proceed. So I tried with gparted(Gnome Partition Editor). The result wasn't any different. Today while clean installing Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot, the installer said that there was no partition in my disk. While trying live CD, I could find all the partition and read data. If you also encounter any of the above problem, simple run fdisk by sudo fdisk /dev/sda press p and then press w . You'll see a message "The partition table has been altered!". Now try running the partition editor or the installer again.
