wondering how to enable blocked chat in gmail ??

Block access to web based chat messengers and IM like gtalk , msn or yahoo in your office without blocking the whole site itself using the Hosts file.

For example in iGoogle there is an option to add these messenger modules(gtalk,msn,hotmail & yahoo). And with this trick you can block only these Messengers but not the whole IGOOGLE itself.

First of all,Open the hosts file located in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc with your notepad.Add these following lines in the hosts file and save it.

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 chatenabled.mail.google.com

127.0.0.1 httpcs.msg.yahoo.com

Bang you are done !!!

More messengers can be blocked by adding the server address of the messengers to this file.With this the Gtalk module in the Gmail page is also blocked.

Hacking Firefox

Here i will teach you how to tweek your smart firefox. Hacking firefox is just not so complicated , just you need to do some config stuff….. what if your firefox just want to do boost your browsing speed ? your firefox uses % of RAM make it slow down startup ? you got many reasons to annoy this baby …..

well , fasten up… here are some of the hacks

1)Create a user.js file. Another way to customize Firefox, creating a user.js file can really speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create a text file named user.js in your profile folder (see this to find out where the profile folder is) and see this example user.js file that you can modify. Created by techlifeweb.com, this example explains some of the things you can do in its comments.

2) about:config. The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address bar. See Mozillazine’s about:config tips and screenshots.

3)Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

• Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
• Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
• Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
• Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
• Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

4)Limit RAM usage. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.
