Secretly Hide Any File Inside JPG Image File

Here’s the full trick:

Step 1: You will need two files – the file you want to hide and one jpg image – it

can be of any size or dimensions. [If you want to hide multiple files in one jpeg

image, just zip them into one file]

Step 2: Copy the above two files to the C: folder and open the command prompt

window.

Step 3: Move to the c: root by typing cd \ [if the files are in another folder,

you'll have to change the prompt to that folder]

Step 4: The most important step – type the following command:

copy /b myimage.jpg + filetohide.pdf my_new_image.jpg

To recover the original PDF file, just rename my_new_image.jpg to filename.pdf.

Here we illustrated with an pdf file as that works with simple renaming. If you

want to apply this technique to other file formats like XLS, DOC, PPT, AVI, WMV,

WAV, SWF, etc, you may have to first compress them in RAR format before executing

the copy /b DOS command.

To restore the original file, rename the .jpg file to .rar and extract it using

7-zip or Winrar.

It happens on regular basis that you switch off your phone daily at the same time of even at fixed times in a day. But if you have switch off installed on your phone you don’t have to worry about switching it off, it will automatically get switched off at the preset time determined by you.

The basic functionality of switch off:

1. The time at which you want to switch off your cell phone just enter the time and enable the auto shut down option.

2. After you have enabled the option, just let the application work in the background and as soon as the preset time is reached the phone gets auto shutdown.

3. Switch off as the name indicates only has the feature to switch off the mobile phone but there is no way you can switch on your phone at pre determined time. This particular thing makes switch off just another ordinaryapplication.

How to Get Your Twitter Account Verified

Twitter started verifying user accounts back in June to reduce cases of celebrity impersonation and mistaken identities . If you are a Twitter user and want to get your account verified, there is this User Verification form you can fill, but the chances that you will get a Verified Account badge are very low unless you are a famous personality or work at Twitter.

Anyways, it is worth a try, you might just get lucky. To improve your chances, you can add a Twitter badge linking to your Twitter profile on your website.

How to Verify your Twitter Account

To get your Twitter account Verified, just log in to your Twitter account, fill the Account Verification Request form and submit it.

While you are at it, also follow me on Twitter. :D

Private Torrent Trackers:

A private tracker is a tracker which allows only registered users to download torrents. The registered users are required to maintain a certain upload-to-download ratio and are banned if the ratio is too low. This ensures that the users don’t just leech the files but also seed them after downloading it completely, which in turn ensures that you get very fast download speeds.
