    Posted on July 31st, 2008 admin 2 comments

    Google is our favorite search engine and it continues to help us everyday in searching through the internet. And if you ask Google for some fun, it won’t disappoint you either. Here are 5 weird and hilarious Google search results which I am sure you’re gonna enjoy !!

    Note: The searches were performed on the google.com domain and not on regional Google domains like google.co.in

    1. Who is a failure ?

    Just type in ” who is a failure ? ” in the Google search box and hit enter. And the first result is…well..see it for yourself. :)

    2. Search

    If you type the word ‘ search ‘ in the Google search box and hit enter, the weird thing is that Google itself shows up probably in page 2 or 3. And the first result is Microsoft’s Live Search !! I know that the algorithm has to do something with it, but still Google should be the first result because that’s what people associate the word ‘ search ‘ with.

    3. Achieving

    This one is really hilarious and probably the most desired one too. Type the word ‘ achieving ‘ in Google search box and see the first result. LOL !

    4. What to do if….

    Ask Google what to do if inside of the grill goes wet. Well, I think Google is pretty good at assuming things too…spot on ! :)

  • How to Shutdown Xp Faster

    Posted on July 31st, 2008 admin No comments

    Windows XP is a line of proprietary operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers.

    The Reason Why XP Takes Long To Shut Down, It Takes Long To Kill Apps

    To shut down Windows XP faster you need to do some changes in your registry.

    1. Click Start menu button -> Run…
    2. Type in regedit and hit Enter.

    Shut Down XP Faster

    3. Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] -> [Control Panel] -> [Desktop].

    4. Now you must look for [HungAppTimeout] and [WaitToKillAppTimeout]. Make sure that [HungAppTimeout] is set to 5000.

    5. Double click [WaitToKillAppTimeout] and set its value to 4000.

    Click OK.
    5. Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control.

    Shut Down XP Faster

    6. Double click WaitToKillServiceTimeout and set its value to 4000.

    Shut Down XP Faster

    Click OK.
    7. Restart your computer and next time you shut down it will be a lot faster.

  • Create Folders And Files With NO! Name

    Posted on July 31st, 2008 admin 1 comment

    This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.

    Just follow the following steps:
    1.Select any file or folder.
    2.Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.
    3.Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad.

    Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don’t type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys.

    4.Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.

    Reason: The file or folder that seems nameless is actually named with a single space.

    But what if you want to create another nameless file or folder in the same directory ?

    For this you will have to rename the file with 2 spaces. Just follow these steps below:

    1.Select file, press F2.
    2.Hold alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.
    3.Release the alt key. Now without doing anything else, again hold alt key and press 0160.
    4.Press enter and you will have second nameless file in the same directory.
    5.Repeat step 3 to create as many nameless files or folders in the same directory.

    (we’ve had a problem with deleting these folders, to do so, start your computer in safe mode and delete it from there.)
