The Very First Lighter Phone SB6309

Although I fully admit to chuckling quite a bit after first seeing this cellphone with a built-in cigarette lighter, I can see some practicality with it. After all, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard of my smoking friends losing their lighter. I’ve been asked numerous times if I happen to have a lighter on me, despite that they’re fully aware I don’t smoke. Having a lighter built into your cellphone would come in incredibly handy. After all, your phone is almost always somewhere within reach.....

Facebook Experiments with Real-Time Search

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

The company introduces a new search interface with some much needed functionality.
Facebook has introduced a revamped search interface that brings real-time results from News Streams users in chronological order. The feature is considered experimental and has been introduced only for a small number of people but the initial reactions seem to be very positive as many have been unsatisfied with Facebook's current search capabilities.



“Those of you in the test group will see new layouts for search results that will continue to include people's profiles, Facebook Pages, groups and applications, and some entirely new Search features. With the test, you will be able to search your News Feed for the most recent status updates, photos, links, videos and notes being shared by your friends and the Facebook Pages of which you're a fan. You will also be able to search for status updates, posted links and notes in Search from people who have chosen to make their profile and content available to everyone,” reads a post on the Facebook blog.

The social networking website's search has always been considered inferior compared to similar services and while it does a decent job in finding people or groups, finding content like photos, videos or status updates was a much harder task. Other services have proven quite successful, having a powerful search tool that allows users to easily find real-time information. The biggest example would be Twitter, of course, which owes much of its explosive growth and popularity on its instant response to current events like the recent Iranian elections.

The new search interface will have a much more unified feel focusing on results from your feed but also offering results from other areas, like people, pages, groups etc. This is a big change from the current search, which places an emphasis on people and pages. The change, along with simplified privacy options coming soon, should allow Facebook to provide a much more Twitter-like experience and it's clear that, while Twitter is still a lot smaller, Facebook wants to be cautious and not rest on its laurels.

Google Apps Sync Disables Outlook Search

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

The Outlook team has recently been made aware of a serious bug / flaw with the recently announced Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook, and as a result we wanted to provide the Outlook user community with additional details around this problem as well as information on how to address it.
The installation of the Google Apps Sync plugin disables Outlook’s ability to search any and all of your Outlook data. When a Google Apps user installs the sync plugin for Outlook, the plugin modifies a registry key which disables Windows Desktop Search from indexing and providing search functionality for all Outlook data, not just the Outlook data being synchronized from GMail. Because Outlook search relies upon the indexing performed by Windows Desktop Search, Outlook search functions are broken as a result. It is also important to note that uninstalling the plugin may not fix the issue.



Outlook users who are considering the Google Apps Sync plugin should become aware of this issue. If you have already installed this plugin, please take note of the steps below to address the issue.

For Outlook users who have already installed this plugin or have experienced this issue, the only remedy is to change the registry key that was modified by the plugin (click the link for more detail on the registry key):

1) Press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard, and type “REGEDIT”. This will open the Windows Registry Editor.

2) Browse to the following: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search"

3) You will manually have to reset the value of “PreventIndexingOutlook” to “0” (without the quotes). To do this, right click on the “PreventIndexingOutlook” key, select “Modify…”, then change the value data to “0”.

4) Close the registry editor.

The Outlook team has been made aware of a second issue that affects users of the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector which syncs Windows Live Hotmail with Outlook. When a user has the Outlook Connector installed, then installs the Google Apps Sync plugin, the next time Outlook is started an error message comes up stating that “some functionality will be disabled”. The Google Apps Sync plugin modifies a registry key that is used by the Outlook Connector, which results in users seeing this error message. When confronted with this error message, we recommend that users click “Yes” to enable functionality. The Outlook Connector will then continue to function normally. The Outlook Connector will reset this registry key to the correct value.

Finally, we have brought these issues to Google’s attention, and have offered to work with them to find a resolution for our mutual customers. As soon as this is done, we will publish more information.

Posted by Wonderful-Tricks

They are now allowing publishers to pick the font size!
Publishers are now allowed to change the font size of the text in their ad units. Three options are available: small, medium and large.
These options are however only available on Latin character ads.



There are 2 ways to change the size

Method 1 : To change fonts for every ad unit


1. First login to your Adsense account and at the top bar click on My Account and select Account Settings.

2. Click on edit beside Ad Display Preference.

3. Now from the drop down menu list, select your desired size and click on Save Changes at the bottom.

If you want to change the font size for an individual ad unit, here is a simple tutorial.
