Download Google Chrome with Pre Installed Games


It’s Chrome 10 dev. version that came bundled with two games Entanglement and Poppit, these apps appeared on New Tab Page since then we’ve not seen Google releasing Chrome with games preinstalled for their developer channel or any other channel, they may not release Chrome with games preinstalled for all users without users consent. There are many games available on Chrome Web Store to install and play, if you already have Chrome installed then you can try some games from Chrome web store, if you don’t have Chrome installed on your Computer and if you’re gamer Google made Google Chrome build that comes pre-installed with 17 games for you to download and install, we’re assuming it to be stable version.

Download Chrome with games like Angry Birds and Bejeweled Pre-installed Games in Chrome are Bejeweled, Angry Birds, Cut the rope and others.We did tried to install this build but ended up getting error message. You can try Chrome with 17 games pre-installed from here and let us know if it installed on your Computers.

Its easy for users to say pre-installed games Chrome version as bloat ware, rather than forcing users with this build Google perhaps made customized version for gamers.

Install Safari on Ubuntu


Ubuntu users lack the number of options available as compared to the PC or Mac users. Main browsers they can use are Firefox, Chromium, Google Chrome & Opera. In this post I will be writing a tutorial on how you can install Safari on Ubuntu. So, without any further ado we will start.

  • Install Wine
Wine is a known Windows emulator for Linux. It is used to run Windows programs on Linux. We will be installing Wine first in order to install Safari on Linux. To install wine you need to open up the Ubuntu Software center and search for Wine. Or, you can simply go to this website and follow the instructions.The install will take a while. Or, you can install it via the Terminal using the following apt syntax.

sudo apt-get install wine

After installing Wine you need to install core fonts and the flash (windows version) using winetricks. To do this input the following in the terminal.

winetricks corefonts flash

  • Install 7zip

Installing 7zip is our next step as this will be needed to run Play on Linux. Ignoring this will give you an error related to 7zip.

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

  • Install Play On Linux

Play on Linux will help us create an environment to run Safari easily. To install Play on Linux you need to download it from this website. Choose the Ubuntu version as we are doing this for Ubuntu.

After installing Play on Linux, open it. A new window will open up which will look like the screenshot below.

Now click Install. Click Internet and then click Safari. Click Install.

Now the package will download some required packages and start installing Safari on Ubuntu. Keep following the wizard and you will have Safari installed on Ubuntu.

So, we have successfully installed Safari on Ubuntu.

Episode Player Remembers What Episode Of A TV Show You Watched Last


Got numerous TV shows lined up on your PC and don’t know which one to start first? Forgot the last episode you watched of Game of Thrones? Well, Episode Player is here to help. This application keeps track of all your favorite downloaded shows and lets you know what was the last episode you were watching. Whether you like Dexter or Spartacus, House M.D or Lost, it will keep every show in order, so that you can easily check whether you have missed an episode or not. It automatically recognizes all the available media players on your computer and provides their shortcuts, allowing you to play the episode in your favorite media player. Not only does it automatically detect all built-in applications such as Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center etc., it also adds third-party players such as KMPlayer, VLC and MPC. Details to follow after the jump. When you launch the application, add the source directory of your TV shows. Click Open Folder at the bottom left and select the source directory. You will see that all the available episodes are listed in the left panel. Furthermore, the application will scan your PC for installed media players and place their shortcuts in the right sidebar. To begin, select the episode, followed by your preferred media player and click Play to start watching it. The application will let you know which episode you’ve already watched with a check mark.
Despite being an awesome episode tracker, the application does have a few hiccups. For instance, it would have been better if it allowed users to easily select already added folders instead of manually selecting them each time they want to switch to a different show. It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Both 32-bit and 64-bit OS editions are supported.

Sara- The Best Alternative to 'Siri'


Since the release of the iPhone 4S and its awesome intelligent voice assistant Siri, every older iPhone device owner has been trying to get Siri on his iPhone. As you know, developers have successfully managed to port Siri to older devices. However,it couldn’t be made public.

A while after, Spire was released promising Siri port to older devices, iPhone 4, 3GS.iPod touch 4G,3G but it required a Siri proxy and iPhone 4S authentication keys which is not an easy task for many users. A Vietnamese team has developed a new Siri more advanced alternative named “Sara”. In addition to the normal Siri capabilities like setting reminders making calls, Sara allows users to train it to accept commands. Sara is described as having an “open” brain allowing developers to create plug-ins for special commands. If Sara proves success,it won`t be long before we see a lot of plugins released. Another cool feature about Sara is that it works in a number of countries other than the US and it is available in 37 languages in only a month’s development.That is something that Siri lacks. We are not sure if Sara can indeed beat the almighty Siri,but we will have to wait and see in a couple of month how it would turn out. To get Sara, just add this repository to Cydia http://isoftjsc.com and download the version supporting your device.

Send Files From Your iPhone To Any Device Via Bluetooth Using AirBlue For iOS 5


We have been noticing many Cydia Tweaks since the iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak is available. Some are free and some paid, but all of them are of course very useful. But today we have a very useful Cydia Tweak called AirBlue Sharing which allows iPhone, iPod and iPad users running iOS 4.0 and above to send and receive files from any devices, even Android. Yes this Cydia tweak actually does that. AirBlue Sharing for iPhone, iPod and iPad eliminates one of the main disadvantages which they have till now. Users now can share and receive files from any non iOS devices including Symbian, Windows Phone, and Blackberry, Android or any other device.

AirBlue Sharing allows you to share/receive any Video, Picture, Music, Contacts, Notes or any other file on your iDevice. The transfer takes place at a very high speed which is up to 1.7MB/s. Since files can be transferred using Bluetooth and WiFi to any device, you can also include your Windows, Linux or Mac PC in the list. AirBlue Sharing has this capability which can automatically detect the best way to transfer the files. One of the main features of AirBlue Sharing which I would like to mention is, it allows you to send/receive multiple files at the same time. Which means you does not need to be in a queue.

No, you have to pay the amount which is $4.99 and I think that’s worth paying because it works perfectly fine and is the best solution available for Bluetooth/WiFi sharing. To buy you can simply go to the BigBoss repository and make a purchase.

Dual Boot even after installing earlier versions of Windows later

One can have dual boot option on PC to boot multiple operating system on single computer. 
For example, you can have Windows XP, Linux, Vista, Windows 7 etc on single PC by installing them in different partitions. But to have that dual configuration, you will have to install the latest version after the earlier ones. For example, you can have dual boot option if you have installed Windows 7 in different partition on a PC with already installed XP. But if you will install XP after Windows 7, boot screen will not see any option to start Windows 7. But there may be a situation where you need to install Windows XP on your pre-installed Windows 7 PC.

Have you encountered a problem in which all the content of your pen drive has been replaced by merely some shortcut icons? Then beware, your pen drive has been infected by virus. But still you can recover all your content (Thanks to command prompt). Here is the procedure:If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in hidden mode.
Click on “Start” –>Run–>type cmd and click on OK. Here I assume your pendrive as G:
Enter this command – “attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* ” without quotes

Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Now check for your files in Pen Drive.

Play Videos and Music in Google Chrome

A few days back I was surfing in Google Chrome(one of my favourite browsers these days). And it accidentally happened that instead of dragging a video file I dragged it into Google Chrome and Voila! It started playing and the only thing I could say was Eureka! Eureka! (sorry for the PJ)..
So lets get back into discussion. To play a video file open a new tab in Google drag it into the new tab and it will start playing. The best part is that you can still forward and rewind,play and pause just like a media player and guess what?? You can play mp3 files also.
I would recommend everybody of you to try it.It's fun ! Happy Browsing :)

Clicking on the button while playing a movie or video will start recording. Clicking again will stop recording.
3]- Play RAR files: Do you know VLC can play videos zipped inside RAR files? They play like normal video files and you can even use the seek bar. If the RAR file is split into several files, no problem. Just load the first part (.part001.rar ) and it will automatically take the rest of the parts and play the whole file.
4]- Play in ASCII mode: VLC media player has an amusing ability, to playback movies in ASCII art. To enable ASCII mode, open VLC media player and click on Tools>Preferences.
