How to Auto-login your Facbook Account using Google account(Gmail), Yahoo and OpenID's

I really wanted to write this post from a long time. But with lack of Blogging time i can’t post. Most major Web companies – Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc. – have announced support for OpenID, meaning that you can use your credentials from any one of those services to register and login to third-party websites that support OpenID. But Facebook is taking a big leap beyond all of these companies today by enabling you to login to its own site using either Gmail or OpenID. That means You can now link both your Google Account (including Gmail), MySpace, Yahoo ID and OpenID with your Facebook profile. ADVANTAGES The advantage of linking you other online accounts with Facebook is that if you are signed-in into any of the above services, you'll automatically be logged into Facebook as well. So for example, if you working in Google Docs or writing scraps in Orkut and then decide to open Facebook in another tab, you won't see the Facebook sign-in screen anymore. How To Link   ...

How To Create A Manual System Restore Point In Windows 7

Setting a system restore point was often agonizingly slow, and when it came time to actually attempt a system restore, it rarely did what you wanted it to do. But if you've upgraded to Vista or Windows 7, you should really give System Restore another chance.   Back in the XP days, system restore simply used a file filter and copied files around, but since Vista, it uses the Shadow Copy features built into Windows—essentially, Windows can create a snapshot of your drive as of a certain point in time, which can then be used la...

Setup Free Home Security Camera Using Skype.

This is not a new idea by any means. I first read about this concept on a blog a year or two ago But i cant find this again ! I really like this concept, I want to talk about it again. I have done this before when I was away from home and it worked perfectly. It basically involves using Skype as a security camera to check your home from another location. Home security systems are extremely expensive these days but a fairly rudimentary cheap but effective system can be set up using Skype and a webcam. It involves keeping your computer on so this may not work if you are away from home for an extended period of time (imagine the electricity bill!) but if you are just going to work for example, this would be a good solution to “do an E.T and call home”. You can also use this to check up on the kids while you are out. And if you have iphone or ipad then you can use your iOS Device to get a video view of your home when you are outside the home. You can use your iPhone, or iPad...
