Easily Make Google Chrome Canary the Default Web Browser

How to Make the Default Browser Chrome Canary

As the web evolves so do our web browsers. Being a technical individual and always keeping up with the latest technologies I decided to move on from Firefox as Google Chrome has finally left a mark with the Chrome Web Store. This means that almost all the same plugins/addons that are available for Firefox are now available for Chrome.

The speed of Chrome Canary is really swift and it's hardly surpassed with it's quick functionality and synchronized browsing. Knowing all of these facts, I wanted to make Google Chrome Canary my default web browser, so I went into Canary's settings and this is what I saw...

As an experienced user, I looked this up on Google's support forums and the engineers at Google said they will not be fixing this, so since Google won't do it, I decided to. Download and run the file below and on your Windows OS to set Google Chrome Canary as the default web browser system wide for your user account. There are no further steps to take after executing the application, it will do all the magic, you can always change your default browser later on if you'd like.

Note: This application will only work on Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.

Purple and green color, resolution fix for old school games

How to fix old games running on Windows 7 from schowing up in purple and green colors, Age of Empires, StarCraft, etc.

StarCraft Classic with the blotchy purple and green resolution problems.

Having a newer computer is always a nice asset for gaming, so we like to think, right? There's just one problem... being a cool hipster and all, you want to play some of those retro and old school games you used to play as a kid, the only thing is the game companies do not update those games anymore and you are in a completely upgraded hardware era.

This is for those games that have purple, green or even blue blotchy areas and seem to be distorted due to resolution or graphics problems.

Now, there are probably a few different ways to fix these types of display issues with older games, but the one I am writing about isn't one of those difficult registry tweaks or the kill explorer trick, those are really tedious fixes and require in-depth computer knowledge, which we do not always have the time to research. As much as I'd love to make things difficult, I am not going that route.

The fix is a neat little tool dubbed "DirectDraw Compatibility Tool" created by a Russian programmer named Лёха Galogen, it applies a one time registry entry for the game you want to fix. All you have to do is download the program and run it, it's pretty simple to use, just find the executable of the game...

Example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft\StarCraft.exe

Then, click apply, all done. No more blotchy colors or resolution errors, play the game with nice DirectDraw support. This tool works on both 64 bit and 32bit operating systems, the latest version as of 04/03/2012 is 1.01.

Requirements
DirectDraw Compatibility Tool (Software)

How to Enable a Bluetooth Headset on your PC

How to get a mobile Bluetooth Headset to work on your computer even if it's not supported.

Enable Bluetooth capability on your computer.

Have you ordered an expensive Bluetooth Headset only to realize it wasn't going to work on your device? Well I did, I purchased a Bluetooth Jabra Sport headset, it was $99. When the headset arrived I used it for a while outdoors and at the gym, it came time where I wanted to use Skype to call a friend in England, but the problem was my Bluetooth headset that I just bought for a pretty penny did not have drivers for Windows. So I decided to find a way to fix this issue so that I can use my headset on my pc without a problem.

The solution I came across was a simple one, all you need to do is download a Bluetooth driver stack by Toshiba, they have discontinued the download for end users for an unknown reason, but you are still able to obtain it elsewhere on the Internet. This one is pretty self explanatory, it will work on 32bit or 64bit systems, the only catch is you need a Bluetooth adapter chip installed on your computer or laptop. Make sure to download the correct version, the last version available is 8.00.12.

Requirements
Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Software)
Bluetooth Headset (Hardware)
Bluetooth Adapter (Hardware)

Free iPhone WiFi Calls

How to setup free Wifi Calling on your iPhone with Vonage & Google Voice

Free iPhone Calls through Wifi with Vonage® Mobile and Google Voice™ apps.

Ever wondered how to make and receive free calls on your iPhone? I did. I wondered about how I could possibly get away with making free WiFi calls and receiving them. I found a nice solution to my question and my curiosity, the following will explain how this works and what you must do to be able to make free WiFi calls.

There have been many methods brewed up by random people online here and there in the past, such as using a Gizmo5™ account or more advanced SIP numbers. Those methods are now outdated, Google™ bought Gizmo5™, you can no longer register for a Gizmo5™ account. The SIP numbers come with a price tag now and it just doesn't feel right.

This new method uses the Vonage™ and Google Voice™ apps to make and receive free WiFi calls. This only works in the United States, since Google Voice™ is only available to US Residents, Vonage™ only allows free WiFi calls to numbers in the US as well.

Requirements
iPhone (Hardware)
Computer Headset (Hardware)
Vonage Mobile (App)
Google Voice (App)
Google Chrome (Software)
Google Voice & Video Chat plug-in (Software)
Gmail account (Service)
Google Voice account (Service)

Instructions
1. Make sure you have the requirements installed, setup and ready to use, also plug your headset into the computer.
2. From this point on, you should only be using the Chrome browser to do any Google related activities.
3. Login to your Google Voice account, go to settings and enable "Google Chat" as a forwarding phone for calls. (If you do not see Google Chat followed by your Gmail e-mail, login to Gmail and place a brief call to your number, then refresh the Google Voice page, it should now be listed) 1
4. Now make sure you have an open Gmail page with your account logged in. Make sure your settings resemble the ones on for this step's image. 2
5. Open Vonage Mobile on your iPhone and setup an account using your Google Voice number as the phone you will use to verify the account.
6. Vonage Mobile will place an automated call to your Google Voice number now and will require you to input a few digits to verify the number is yours, make sure your speakers are on and your Gmail account is open and ready for a call.
7. Now that your Vonage Mobile account is verified and registered, you will be given a pop-up to purchase a Vonage Rate Plan, click Ok and exit the link it opens. (You do not need to purchase anything to make calls within the United States)
8. Make sure you're on a WiFi network and place a call using Vonage Mobile, the party you are calling should see your Google Voice number as the caller I.D.
9. You can now use the Google Voice app on your iPhone to send and recieve texts, get voicemails, view your Google contacts and check call logs, all through WiFi. (You must use Vonage Mobile to place calls through WiFi as the Google Voice app is not a VOIP client)
10. Feel free to setup your Google Voice account to ring your iPhone's actual number in case you want to receive live calls. (Otherwise you'll just have to check your voicemails or missed calls through the Google Voice app)
11. You have successfully configured your iPhone to place free WiFi calls and somewhat incoming calls, plus completely free texting and free voicemail with additional features all for free.

Convert PAL to NTSC

Patching a PAL DVD to NTSC on Windows 7

Television encoding systems by nation.

Have you ever wondered how you could convert a PAL DVD to an NTSC version? The reason you are most likely interested in accomplishing this is because you either have a DVD or a Disc Image file created for another region other than your own, such as Europe or China if you're from North America. Following these steps will teach you how to patch a PAL DVD (or image file) to NTSC and burn it.

This guide will only work for DVD Movies, you must have either the actual DVD disc or a disc image file (.ISO, .IMG, .UDF, etc). You may also want to note that this process does not mean you will have to re-encode the actual movie, it is just a patch that fools the DVD player into thinking it is NTSC in order to play it, this fix should work with a majority of DVD players in the market today.

Did you know? DVD region codes are a digital-rights management technique designed to allow film distributors to control aspects of a release, including content, release date, and price, according to the region. DVD video discs may be encoded with a region code restricting the area of the world in which they can be played.

Requirements
Slysoft Virtual CloneDrive (Freeware)
IfoEdit 0.971 (Freeware)
Windows Disc Image Burner (Windows 7 feature)

Instructions
1. Mount your PAL disc into your DVD drive, if you do not have a disc, mount the disc image file with Virtual CloneDrive. (If the movie automatically plays, close it)
2. Open "Computer" from the Start Menu and right click on the device which has the DVD mounted and select "Open". 1
3. You will now see a "VIDEO_TS" folder, copy this folder onto your desktop. 2, 3
4. Run IfoEdit, select "Open" on the bottom left side of the window.
5. Browse to your VIDEO_TS folder and select the "VIDEO_TS.IFO" file. (If you have multiple VIDEO_TS_XX.IFO files, you will have to do this for all of them each, individually) 4
6. You will now see the file you selected, click the first line in the top area. (The one with your username) 5
7. Now look towards the bottom area, you will see references to PAL, double click the line with the first reference to PAL.
8. A "Video attributes" window will appear, switch PAL to NTSC first, then uncheck Automatic Pan&Scan and check Automatic Letterbox, now make sure the resolution is "720 x 480", then click "OK". 6
9. Continue scrolling the bottom area, doing the above step for every line which references "PAL".
10. Afterward click "Region Free" and click "OK". 7
11. Click "Save", you should be prompted to save the BUP file as well, do so. (After this you can either close and re-open IfoEdit and reload the "VIDEO_TS.IFO" file to verify changes or not)
12. Now click "Disc Image" near the bottom right area of the window, click "Create Image" after choosing a location to save it to. 8
13. After the image file has been generated, right click the .img file and Open with "Windows Disc Image Burner", then select "Burn", make sure you have a DVD+R Burner and DVD+R disc to burn the image onto. 9
14. You've completed the patching process and burned an NTSC version of your disc, feel free to watch it on your DVD Player now.

Porn Folder for Windows 7

Lock your Windows folders natively!

If you like to keep your personal things private, then this is for you.
I've created a batch file (.bat) that will change access permissions of a folder of your choosing.

Simply run an installer, edit 2 lines and execute the script, couldn't be easier than that could it?

The neat thing about this is it doesn't hide your folder and you don't have to rely on some pesky program to load and lock and unlock things because this script takes advantage of Windows 7's built-in security and permission editing on the fly, unless you live in a household full of computer geniuses or something, you won't have to worry about anyone getting access to the folder.

Instructions
1. Download the provided archive (.zip file)
2. Run subinacl.msi and install it.
3. Update directory path on lines 206 and 215 of runthis.bat.
4. Execute runthis.bat.

Note: I have included two registry keys which activate or deactivate the security tab on the properties of an object, disabling the security tab adds much more security and will make it nearly impossible to regain rights to that folder without technical know-how, these of course are optional.
