How to send a Secret message that will Self-Destruct in the Recipient's Inbox?

          Sometimes you need to share private information(account number, password or various bank information) with a family member, friend or Colleague. It is simply possible to send the personal information via email or chat message to the recipient.

However they might forget to delete the message and thereby its risky as the private information may be viraled.Wouldn't it be fantastic if you would have been able to share the message/information via a self destructing message which automatically gets deleted once it has been read?

This is where a very useful website BURN NOTE(www.burnnote.com)  comes into action.
It allows someone to send a message to someone else in such a manner that the message will be automatically deleted in predefined time. This ensure that your message truly remains private.

All you need to do simply is start your browser and connect to www.burnnote.com  and type the private message . For security the recipient cannot copy the messge and it is also possible to put password on the self destructing message . BurnNote also allows you to set the prdefined time after which the message gets automatically deleted from the receiver's inbox.

2  .CLick on OPTIONS button to access all various options available to you.
3  .Once you are done after typing the private message and selecting various options, Click on Send  button.
4.  Burn Note will create a link for you. Now you need to paste the link to recipient to share the message. Recipient will be able to read the message only after typing the passsword(if you choose one).

The best part is that the message can be viewed only Once and will get deleted automatically after n number of seconds.

How to convert your phone into a Remote Control For your computer?

Everyone of us always wondered to control of our laptops and PCs with mobile.

Being precise let me tell that one can do this by using Unified Remote app.

Unified Remote comes  in two parts -the Unified remote server that needs to be installed on computer and UNIFIED REMOTE app that needs to be installed on your  Android  phone.

Firstly install the  Unified Remote server from http://www.unified remote.com on your computer and make sure that Windows firewall is not blocking it.

Once you have installed the server on your computer, you should download and install the UNIFIED REMOTE from the google play store on your android phone.

As soon as you launch the app on your phone, it will ask you to to automatically scan for coresponding server or maually add one. I recommend you to manually add the server.

Now if your computer is connected to Internet through a router, you need to enable POrt Forwarding ion it so that your android app is able to connect to your computer

You can get the detailed instruction on enable port forwarding by visiting 

www.portforward.com

now configure some options as given:

1. IP ADDress

In this field you need enter your computer's private IP.  For that Open UNIFIED REMOTE server on your computer> click on Conenctions Tab> Click on Network Interfaces and usually the Ip mentioned in first entry is what you need.

2.PORT RANGE

From 9512 to 9512

3.protocol

TCP and UDP


In case of manual add if you need to know your computer public Ip visit www.whatismyipaddress.com

After completing the required fields tap the save button to continue.


NOw to check whether you have successfully connected to server or not tap the Diagnostics option on the Unified Remote dashboard screen.

To start controlling your computer go into Remotes section . There is a variety of controls availabale. Start using them and have fun........

How to unsend an Email from Gmail?

All of us have experienced email regret.

In such a situation wouldn't it be great if it were possible to unsend or undo send an email. This is where the gmail Undo Send feature helps. Once enabled the undo send feature allows you to unsend an email even after it has been sent.

Once you enable the Undo send option, everytime you send an email gmail will not send it instantly.
Instead it will hold back the email on its server for a few seconds allowing you to change your mind, retrieve and modify the email if you wish. To enable undo send feature in gmail all you need to do is:

1. Once you are logged onto your gmail account, click on Settings button.
2. A drop down menu will pop up on the screen again click on settings option.
3. Now click on Labs to browse through all Google Labs feature. Google Labs basically contains experimental feature  that may still be under development.
4. Scroll on the Labs page and look for Undo Send option and enable it.
5. Save the changes.

The Feature is enabled now you can make a try...

Unblocking Facebook Friend requests - A remedic prevention

We used to send friend requests to various people and in case its not accepted it goes to pending.

If the friend requests remain pending for a long time or for many people, your friend requests get blocked. 

The block on your account could last between a few hours and a few days, depending on situation. Unfortunately we can't lift this block for any reason.

But Yes we can surely prevent it from getting blocked. So the following steps need to be performed...

• Go to "Account Settings"
• Select "Download a copy" option

•  You will have to re-enter your password to confirm

           A link will be sent to your email account

• Download "facebook.zip" by clicking on the link attached with email
•  Extract "facebook.zip".
• Open the folder html
• Now open friends.htm

You will view all of your friend lists.

• Scroll down to see "Sent friend requests"

Now your purpose is to check whether the friend request sent is added to pending list or not.

• Press Ctrl+f 
• Enter the name of person from sent request list

[If it shows 1 of 1 then your friend request is pending]

So you can search the user and cancel friend request.

You are now safe from being blocked.....
