There is a very easy way of capturing a screenshot in the HTC one x without installing any other app.

1. Hold down the POWER button
2. Then press the HOME button. That’s it! Yes, it’s that easy.

You’ll see a message on the screen saying “Screenshot saved to Camera shots”. You can now go to your Gallery app to see the screenshot that you have just captured.

I had an ASP.Net 4 website in Web Forms it was working fine on local machine and on one of our Windows 2008 R2 server which had Framework 4.0. But when we moved to production machine which also had Windows 2008 R2 server, website started to generate Ajax client-side framework failed to load error on pages which had UpdatePanels. After searching for some time, found the solution. This was actually caused by the fact that the website had an application pool set to .NET 4.0 but the [Handler Mappings] for the *.axd files where not registered. I had to add following handlers in my Web.Config file.

<handlers>
<remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>
<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory"/>
<remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices"/>
<remove name="ScriptResource"/>
<add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</handlers>

After adding this its working perfectly. But I am still not sure, why these handlers are already added in our testing server and not on production.

I have seen many people who use sims of different networks and keep forgetting short-codes for checking balance and recharging their phones using scratch cards. So here I am collecting different short codes for all five mobile companies.

Earlier I told you an example where GEO news copied news content from AAJ News. Now I found another example where GEO has copied news contents from India Times’ sports news. See the images below. Click on photos to see large version.

I subscribed for the daily SMS bundle offer from zong by sending “sub” to 700. I received the following replies from zong.

1) “You have ordered package Daily SMS 500 for SMS_Bundle successful.”

2) “You have ordered package Daily SMS 500 For SMS Bundle successfully. The package is activated now. Keep enjoy with ZoNG.”

You see the simple English language mistakes in these replies? “successful” is used instead of “successfully” and in next message “Keep enjoy” is used instead of “Keep enjoying”
Should big companies like Zong, ignore such things?

We all know that people on internet are legitimately earning thousands of dollars per month through Adsense – of course this is nothing new to you and we have discussed many case studies before on this topic.

But today, I am going to reveal those individuals and teams which are exploiting youngsters to earn illegally through Adsense. These teams are formally working in an organized manner, through which they prepare a team of around 1000 members -  where every member cross clicks other’s website and ultimately everyone earns money.

For the purpose, two investigative teams visited such so-called companies separately, and findings were really shocking for me at-least.
