Insert Special Characters like heart and music symbol in chat and facebook

Click the above image to see the text clearly

To obtain an ALT Character:

1. Make certain that the Num Lock key has been pressed to activate the numeric key section of the keyboard.
2. Depress the Alt key.
3. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad) of the ALT code from the table above.
4. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.
5. On a laptop computer, there usually is no numeric keypad. So, instead, depress the Fn (function) key, then the Alt key, then the numerical code sequence. The numbers are on the fronts of certain keyboard keys: M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3, U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, and 9=9.

It is very simple to add the various special characters like these into status updates on orkut or facebook and also to chat messages and stuff.

Just press the [Alt] key on your keyboard and tap out the number sequence, then release the "Alt" key. The special character would come up in the place where the text cursor was.

How to add my Orkut friends to Facebook - bonus fb emoticons

Orkut was THE popular social-network in India till a few weeks back. Everybody in school and college had to have an orkut profile to be cool till a year back.

Now that status has been taken over by facebook. And rightly so, because facebook, though riddled with privacy problems, is much more entertaining than orkut. This is not only because of the hugely popular and infamous games like Mafia Wars, Farmville, Fishville, Youville, Cafe World, and other Zynga creations, but also by the status updates and the comments and like and pokes and all sorts of TMI (Too Much Information) being highly entertaining by itself.

Earlier, it was very easy to add your orkut freinds to facebook, but just choosing the import orkut friends feature on facebbok, or the CSV file list of freinds downloaded from Orkut.

But Google knowingly or unknowingly(yeah, right) blocked this feature.

So right now, here is how you can import your orkut friends to facebook.

Connect Orkut with Facebook

Step 1: Drag the Facebook bookmarklet ( <-- this link) on to the favorites/bookmarks bar of your browser.

Step 2: Login to your Orkut account and click the bookmarklet button. OR you can click here.

Then Facebook Friend Finder tool will start scanning your Orkut contacts list and it will show you a subset who are also on Facebook. Then Click “Add Friends”. All it is done.

Also, you can use this same friend finder bookmarklet for connecting Rediff contacts.

As a bonus :

Here is the list of all Facebook Emoticons and their shortcuts:

	Emoticon	Name	Shortcut
		smile	:-) :) :] =)
		tongue	:-P :P :-p :p =P

Stage 1 – the participant needs to be a member / fan / follower of the official Tata DOCOMO identity on the social networking platforms (as the case may be for Orkut, Facebook and Twitter, respectively).
Stage 2 – In this stage, the participant is provided with a set of 10 multiple choice questions, each with varying levels of difficulty.

1. The incremental points that these questions carry are directly proportional to their level of difficulty. Thus the easiest one has the lowest marks and the most difficult one has the highest marks
2. Each participant is given 90 seconds in all to attempt to answer these questions
3. However each ‘wrong answer’ would mean that the ‘marks’ of the question, which has been responded wrongly would be deducted from the total score of the respondent
4. At the end of 90 seconds, basis the number of questions responded to rightly (as well as wrongly) a net score of the respondent would be calculated which will be the total marks of the questions answered correctly subtracted by total marks of the questions responded wrongly). This score would be called the ‘Geek Score’

Pranav Mistry's Sixth Sense to go Open Source - Hurray !!!!!!

If Pranav Mistry has his way, people around the world can build their own wearable 'SixthSense' --which uses a camera that understands human gestures -- at a cost of less than Rs 15,000 ($300) by obtaining the software he developed for free in the next few months.

Mistry, a PhD student in Pattie Maes' Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT's Media Lab, is the genius behind SixthSense, a wearable device that enables new interactions between the real world and the world of data.

"I notice that it's hard to for these kind of things to market in some sense. . . because I don't want this to comply with some of kind of corporate policy," he told PTI in Mysore on Friday on the sidelines of TED conference being held in India for the first time.

"Rather than waiting for that time to come, I want people to make their own system. Why not?"

"People will be able to make their own hardware. I will give them instructions how to make it. And also provide them key software...give them basic key software layers. . . they will be able to build their own applications. They will be able to modify base level and do anything".

MIT Media Lab’s Pranab Mistry demonstrated the latest version of his Sixth-Sense wearable gesture interface at the TEDIndia conference

on Thursday, where he showed how it could be used to compute using just a piece of paper. Sixthsense was first presented by Mistry at a TED conference in February 2009.

In his latest demo, he attached a microphone to the paper and was able to use it as a touch interface, play 3D games, watch movies, and seamlessly transition work between a PC and his interface.

The demo received a huge round of applause from the audience at TED, but he saved the best for last.”I am trying to make this tech available to people, and I will provide all the open source software for Sixth sense starting next month.” said Pranav Mistry when talking to the host Chris Anderson.

How to fix "NTLDR missing" error when Windows is starting up (booting)

How to fix "NTLDR missing" error when Windows is starting up (booting)

Using the Windows Recovery Console

The Windows 2000 and Windows XP CDs supplied by Microsoft has a tool called the Recovery Console which can be used to repair errors that prevent Windows XP from starting using the command line. OEM versions of Windows XP, including computers that were supplied with Windows XP preinstalled, may not have this utility.

• Insert the Windows CD and start the computer.
• When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R.
• Type a number corresponding to the Windows installation you wish to repair (usually 1) and press Enter.
• When prompted, type the administrator password and press Enter.
• From the command prompt, copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM from the i386 folder of the CD to the root folder of the hard drive. In the example commands given below, C: is the hard drive and D: is the CD-ROM drive. You will need to change the drive letters if appropriate:
  COPY D:\I386\NTLDR C:\
  COPY D:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\
• Remove the Windows XP CD from the drive and restart the computer.
