What if you have a place from where you can control all of your Social Networks settings? Sounds good, eh? Blisscontrol is the one stop where you can change settings for most of the popular social networks.
It is a simple site where at left you can select the setting for e.g. Profile Picture, Username, Password change etc, you want to change and on the right you can select the social network for which you want to change the settings.
Its a wonderful idea. Definitely worth a try.

Hi folks,
Hacking is always a way to show off your geeky skill. And hacking Facebook and other social media sites are always interesting because of the loopholes in their security features. Since we interact with people on social media sites it gives us access to some of the information which can be used in playing a nice hack-prank against them.
In this tutorial we will see how can we hack Facebook status of a friend (enemy, if you are vengeful :P). The tutorial is based on a Facebook mobile feature where one can use text message to update his/her facebook status. Since Facebook has a huge number of mobile users there is high possibility that our target person (we will refer the person as victim hereafter) has this feature enabled.
Lets see what do we need in order to hack someone’s Facebook status:
Assuming that you have victim’s cell phone number and the victims has text messaging activated on his phone, we would proceed to the next step of using a site that allows to send fake sms from any number. The idea is that we would use this site to send a sms to facebook pretending to be from victim’s number.
There are several websites that can be used for this purpose. I’ll list a couple of those here:
I would suggest to use SMSGlobal which provides 25 free messages for just signing up. All you have to do is to create an account on it. A nice tutorial showing how to use GlobalSMS can be found here.
Now, when we have an account on SMS Global, we need to know the country specific code (its uses will be explained in the next step). Select the code depending upon which country the victim’s cellphone belongs to:
If desired country is not listed then the activation code would be: 32665
(To verify whether or not these codes valid, check with )
Now since we have collected our resources, lets move to nail our victim.
This picture should help you in understanding the above mentioned steps:

Tired of Spam in your Gmail? Spam annoy anyone especially when they are repetitive. One of my gmail account was constantly spammed by some online shopping website which I had used once. More frustrating was that email had no option to subscribe. Another major spammer was an online Casino sale which I had never used as far my memory goes.
In this tutorial we will see how to use “filters” to combat spam. We will apply filters to the spam which are repetitive and come on a regular basis. [Read more…]
Coders knew Vim for the last twenty years for its unmatched efficiency in editing source code. Vim wasn’ t too popular in the Rails community until lately when Tim Pope published his plug-in: Rails.vim. This plug-in and Vims legendary extendibility made it the editor of choice of many programmers who used some proprietary applications in the past. The plug-in offers shortcuts for easy navigation between files, makes it possible to run scripts, generate controllers, views, do some refactoring, and do auto completion , all of these from Vims cosy interface. Some people say that it is the least user friendly text editor ever. While these accusations might be partly true, because of the rather steep learning curve, many programmers just liked the way Vim helped them do their work quickly and efficiently.
Enough said lets see how to create a very simple blog in Rails from Vim. [Read more…]

One always wonders which Linux distribution is best. Answer to this question is really very different as it depends upon the likes of person. Some people like core Linux which is more command line oriented while some want Linux to be usable by humans
Ubuntu and Linux Mint fall in the category of easy to use and ideal for beginners to learn Linux. Since these are preferred by beginner level user, these are very popular. But who is popular them all? Well, till now Ubuntu used to be the most popular Linux distribution but it seems that Linux Mint have taken the top position from Ubuntu.
According to distrowatch.com (a website keeping a tab on different Linux distribution) Linux Mint took the first position this week. The data are calculated by page visit of the related distribution website which (some reader) might not take for granted as the measure of popularity but one should remember that distrowatch.com is a respected website and is considered as a reliable source on the distribution measurement.
Here is what was shown on the distrowatch.com
It would be interesting to see that how long Mint stays at the top position.
It is not a secret that Ubuntu’s decision to stick with Unity has irked its loyal user and Unity, not being the typical desktop environment, has also scared off the new Linux users. Now when Ubuntu has added the option of Gnome shell, in my opinion, it should get back its lost glory.
Which Linux distribution in your opinion is the best?
With the ongoing changes in Google products (top bar in Google search page, new Google Docs look, new You Tube look etc) Google finally released the new look of Gmail to public. The new look is (surprisingly) available to everyone unlike the regular habit of releasing the new features to a few chosen beta users. [Read more…]
