Top 50 Bing Hacks and Tips

Aug 26, 2009


I am not here to show you how to exploit bing search but to make a better use of Bing, this is what i call the Magic of Bing while some call it as HACKS. Whatever you say here are some tips n tricks that might be useful for you.

Finding Information

From doing math without a calculator to getting definitions, use Bing to find this information quickly and easily.

  1. Use the background image. Hovering over different locations on the background image provides an opportunity to learn facts about the image or related topics.
  2. Do math. Enter a math calculation directly into the search box to compute anything from simple math to trig functions.
  3. Ask questions directly. Type a question into the search box and if the answer is located in Encarta encyclopedia, you will get an answer directly.
  4. Get definitions. Enter "define" or "definition" along with a word to find a definition of that word.
  5. Look up IP addresses. Type in IP: [IP address] (substituting [IP address] with the actual IP address) to find a list of domains associated with that IP address.

Ever wondered what all NEW Firefox offers You

Aug 18, 2009


See what’s new, what’s been improved and what’s just as awesome as ever. This is all you are having to read in this post.

Lets begin with the features I liked the most

Security & Privacy

Instant Web Site ID
Want to be extra sure about a site’s legitimacy before you make a purchase? Click on a site favicon for an instant identity overview. Another click digs deeper: how many times have you visited? Are your passwords saved? Check up on suspicious sites, avoid Web forgeries and make sure a site is what it claims to be.

Forget This Site *new*
Having second thoughts about having visited a certain Web site? With this feature, you can remove every trace of that site from your browser—no questions asked!

Anti-Malware *improved*
Firefox protects you from viruses, worms, trojan horses and spyware. If you accidentally access an attack site, it will warn you away from the site and tell you why it isn’t safe to use. Firefox checks every part of a Web page before loading it to make sure nothing harmful is sneaking in the back door.

Clear Recent History *improved*
Clear all your private data or just your activity over the past few hours with a few quick clicks. You have full control over what to delete, and then your info is gone for good—on your own computer or the one at your local library. It’s that easy.

Anti-Virus Software
Firefox integrates elegantly with your antivirus software. When you download a file, your computer’s antivirus program automatically checks it to protect you against viruses and other malware, which could otherwise attack your computer.

Private Browsing
new Sometimes it’s nice to go undercover. When this feature is enabled, you won’t leave a single browsing fingerprint behind for others to discover. You can slip in and out of private browsing mode quickly, so it’s easy to return to what you were doing before as if nothing ever happened (you can also browse privately all the time).

looking for more here is a complete list

How To: Cross check your Antivirus

I just came across this tutorial on one of my friend Vicky's blog. He just wrote a tut on how to see whether your antivirus is working properly or not.



Here's how:

1. Open Notepad
2. Now copy the below code in the notepad :

X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Save the file as "virus.exe" with cotes
Now here goes the actual stuff, if your Anti Virus just delete this file immediately as soon as it is created than that means your AV is working properly.

But all of you will are not as Lucky as that, so better scan this file with your AV if it still not delete it than its time to update you AV.

Now the GEEK stuff

The file (in our case virus.exe) that we have created is known as The EICAR test file (official name: EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File) is a file, developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research, to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs.

The idea behind this is to allow people, companies, and AV programmers to test their software without having to use a real computer virus that could cause actual damage should the AV not respond correctly. - WikiPedia

Oh so that is for AntiVirus, so is there any such Geeky-Tricky stuff for AntiSpammers too?

Oh you are too curious and a real GEEKY guy if you are still reading till here, so for you, the answer is YES, like the above file you can also check you anti spammer by writing the following piece of code in notepad and saving it as Spam.exe

XJS*C4JDBQADN1.NSBN3*2IDNEN*GTUBE-STANDARD-ANTI-UBE-TEST-EMAIL*C.34X

If your Anti-Spammer immediately detects and delete it than it is working correctly and if not than you know what you have to do!

Now you must be curious to know what's this file called, OK it is The GTUBE (Generic Test for Unsolicited Bulk Email) is a 68-byte test string used to test anti-spam solutions, notably those based on SpamAssassin.

In SpamAssassin, it carries an antispam score of 1000 by default, which would be sufficient to trigger any installation. - WikiPedia

Bing Celebrates Independance Day with Us!

Today, 15th Aug. is India’s Independence Day. India became free from British Rule on 15th Aug. 1947. Whole country is Celebrating the day and in a Patriotic mood and now Microsoft's Bing has also participated in celebrating this day by providing there Home Page in Indian COLOR



The most famous speech given by Jawaharlal Nehru....the "Tryst With Destiny" address to the Constituent Assembly of India in New Delhi on the night of August 14th and 15th, 1947.

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.


Wishing you all Happy Independence Day




Not only Bing but Vodafone also Celebrates the moment

Quick site search using Chrome's Omnibox

Before starting the tutorial lets first see what's an Omnibox is?
Omnibox is a prominent feature of Google’s Chrome Browser. Omnibox is Chrome’s combined search and address bar, which allows you to use the address bar as a search bar. All you have to do is to type a search term in the address box (Omnibox) and press enter to see results from your default search engine.

But other than this there is a reaaly cool feature which is hiding in it, lets reveal that.
You can use your address bar to search sites that you've previously visited.

Say you frequently go to YouTube to watch funny videos. The next time you need a good laugh, just start typing "youtube" in the address bar. After a few letters, the address bar will automatically offer you the option to search the site.



Now the cool trick: hit Tab on your keyboard to convert the address bar into a search box for the site.



Then type what you're looking for and press Enter. Google Chrome will immediately bring you to the search results page on that site. In this case, you'll see YouTube's search results page for "dog on skates":



Use this "tab to search" shortcut to save yourself a few clicks the next time you want to quickly search a site.

Here is a video from Google Chrome Channel

How To: Remove ads from GMail by using a single sentance

Here is a wonderful trick from Joe McKay, by just adding a single sentence at the end of your email you can now eliminate the Sponsored Links ads that show up on the top and right side of an email in your GMail inbox.

In his personal blog he has used the following sentence to disable ads "PS: Suicide death 9/11 murder".

He further explains says-
The solution is simple, when sending an email to a gmail user include a sentence or two that mentions catastrophic events or tragedies. Google does not use humans to read your email, only computers. These computers search for keywords that trigger the advertisements, however, if they happen to find a catastrophic event or tragedy Google errs on the side of good taste and removes the ads altogether.


Before
Before

After
After

I have developed my own sentence that will eliminate ads from GMail. Here is mine-
PS: This line is just meant to slaughter all ads from this email.


Now get your own line too or use the above one, if you got some more good phrases please share with us.
