A few days ago Google changed the appearance of Google Reader in line with its other services, they also removed some of the social elements while at the same time integrating it more tightly with Google+. I was hoping that they would add some features as well but sadly they didn't. And of all the Google services including search and Gmail, Reader is the one I spend most of my time.
So here are my wish list from Google developers for Google Reader:
What are your wishes?
YouTube is not just a regular video sharing platform but it also hosts enormous number of songs in these videos. You can almost find any song you are looking for from the very old ones to very latest ones. So how can you save these songs as mp3 to your machine? There are lots of applications for that. I will list the best ones I could find so far.
SnipMp3 is a specialized tool saving YouTube videos as mp3. After you entered the YouTube link to search area you will be presented with download mp3 link.
Similar to SnipMp3. Just enter the YouTube link and you will get your download link.
This site will also give you the option to download in high quality.
Greasemonkey userscript of Video2mp3
After you install the script there will be two download buttons on every video on YouTube. Just click them to download the music in video as mp3.
I have decided to try a couple of AdobeAir applications but had no success installing the framework. It got stacked just after I accepted the EULA in the actual installation part without any progression for a long time. Then I tried to install it on a virtual machine and this time it went fine. While digging the problem I looked at the temp folder to see what files it extracted (You can also see and extract these files using a file manager such as 7zip). In Adobe Air folder it got the same files with the same folder structure which should have it copied to C:\Program Files\Common Files, but just copying the necessary files to this folder was not enough, I think it also required the registry settings. I tried to install it with setup.msi found in the temp folder but I got "Could not access network location (computed)" error.
While searching for this error I found this forum post. There is a workaround for this problem there by modifying the msi file.
You need a installer modifier like Orca from Microsoft. I used 
InstEd instead but they work the same. Install any of these two and then open the AdobeAir msi installer by right clicking on it and clicking InstEd It! (or "Edit with Orca").
In the left pane under the Tables select Property and then you will see SHAREDADDINFOLDER item on the right pane, right click on it and then click Delete Row. Save the modified msi file and exit the program. Now instead of AdobeAirInstaller.exe install it using the setup.msi file.
Most of the ebooks on internet are of pdf, however we encounter some as chm format as well. CHM format is usually used for help files as can be understood from its name “Compiled HTML Help”. But sometimes it is used for regular ebooks.
Occasionally we may encounter a problem with this type of books. When we open it, we may see an error message similar to ones in Internet Explorer when we cannot access a website. This is usually caused by a security restriction from Windows. If this is your problem its solution is very easy; just right click the file, go to its properties and look for the lowest part where it says security, if there is an unblock button there just click it to remove restrictions on that particular file.
Afterwards you can see the contents of the file without any problem.
After over 3 years I decided to make this blog a little more professional and bought the domain name ezhex.com. Although I must admit it was mostly because of the extremely inviting price of $ 0.99 a year for a .com domain from 1&1 .
Here are the settings to linking a new domain name with your blogger account:
After you logged on to your account, click domains link shown below.
Click new / create subdomain
Enter www as address and choose your domain name from pull down menu. Click OK.
Tick the checkbox next to your subdomain name.
From the DNS menu, select Edit DNS Settings.
Click the radio button next to CNAME.
Enter ghs.google.com as Alias. Click OK.
If you don’t do this you can only access your site with http://example.com address and not http://www.example.com address.
Now check your main domain name, from destination select edit destination. From pull down menu select Forward your Domain, as your forwarding destination write your full url address beginning with http://www and as forwarding type select http redirect. Do the same with your subdomain.
You should see a dashboard similar to the one below after you have done all the settings described.
Wait for some time until your domain statuses change to ready.
Then logged on to your blogger account, go to settings, publishing, enter your new address click save and you are done.
Go grab your domain name before limited period offer expires. I don’t think there will be a cheaper option than this 
As you can see from the picture above (don’t mind the language its Turkish, but you can understand there are updates for my Windows) there are 6 important and 5 optional updates.
But when I click to updates to select them individually it goes blank, I can see there are updates but can’t see what are they about.
So how do we solve this?
First open your task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), then find explorer.exe then kill the process.
Then go to file / open new process (run) / type “explorer.exe” (without the quotation marks) to restart it. Open Windows Update again. As you can see from the screenshot below our problem is solved and we can see all the updates individually.
I'm sure you've already read lots of articles about Google+ but no harm in reading another one, right?
Before going to my impressions it is necessary to note some important facts:
Google+ is available only on an invitation basis. For now you can create a Google Profile even if you don't have a Google+ account because this profile will be your "about" page in G+.
It is currently a field trial and not a complete product, so the current features are not final and they can change and other features may come as well.
Assuming you already filled out all the information for your Google profile, one of the first things you will be asked is creating circles of your friends. This feature is like an upgraded form of Facebook's friends lists. Although it is easier here to organize them and you can add people in your circles even if they are not on G+. An important implication of this is that you don't have to add people to your circles just because they added you. For that aspect it is similar to following people on Twitter. Its difference with Twitter is that you can set your each individual status update or share, to be visible publicly or to only specific circles.
Here are some notable features of G+ Stream:
One important feature missing from G+ is that you can not exclude a circle from viewing a post. You may need this feature when you share post in a language that some people in your circles may not know, or if you want to make a public post which will be totally uninterested for some of your circles. This feature exists in Facebook.
Hangouts
- I haven't tried this feature yet, but basically it is a group video chat.
Sparks
- My first thought about this feature is that it is a very primitive form of news feeds yet.
This is not just a social network, it is unification of all Google services with a social aspect on top. For this reason it is in direct contrast with Facebook. Because FB is a social network with third party apps on top of the platform, while G+ is built on top of other Google services.
One of the most important features of G+ is that you can take and delete all your data from all Google services if you like with using Google Takeout. This feature will be very attractive for people concerned with privacy issues.
We may see some changes and new features in the next few weeks.
