How To Get A Free Dot Com?

by Leave a Comment

HyperWebEnable.com

Allakhazam! and your wish has been fulfilled! Do you know that you can get a free individual domain with a Dot Com? It’s a dream come true for all who can’t or don’t prefer to spend some money periodically on a hosting service. And some of you bloggers might have noticed that your posts were/are getting comments like,
“HI ,

Increase your revenue 100% of your blog by converting into free website. Convert your blog yourname.blogspot.com to www.yourname.com completely free. Become proud owner of the (.com) own site.”
Yup..thats right, whoever commented wasn’t kidding nor was he a spammer :). The amazing revolutionary concept of “free Dot Com” is provided by HyperWebEnable.

To be honest even i as one of the people who misunderstood the service to be a scam but, soon the truth hit me with sweetness. I requested for a free website and soon i was thrilled with a reply that the domain has been registered with the domain name of my choice! and the Admin details of my new hosted blog was mailed to me. They only have a small requirement that your website must be active and must have some traffic, which is good thing for them as it would keep their portal crap free. So go ahead, send in a request at HyperWebEnable and see the magic happen!

Trick to grab the online streaming media without any link grabber!

by 2 Comments

A manual method

Just grab 'em!
Grab ’em!

The most common way to grab your favourite video from Youtube, Metacafe, and any video streaming network is to go to a link grabbing website or to use a link grabbing software. I agree with that, as it’s pretty easy and just a click away. But what can you do if you have already streamed a video online and you want to download it with ‘not’ wasting your time?

Ok. I have a simple trick that anyone can use to grab any kind of streaming media. When you play a online media, it actually gets downloaded in your ‘temporary internet files folder’. Finding it in the ‘temporary internet files’ folder could be a little work for you, depending on the browser you.used as the file may be downloaded with a blank extention i.e ‘video’ and ‘music’ and not ‘video.flv’ or ‘music.mp3’. Anyway, you ‘can’ distinguish the cached files by selecting the ‘Detailed view’ and arranging the icons by ‘Modified’ in the internet cache folder and with this you can find the most recent cache with the largest size. Now, try playing the file with the largest size on your FLV format supported player. If it plays, then you are done and copy the file to a safe destination! If not, then try playing the next largest file and you will surely get what you are looking for. The trick might sound complicated, but it’s not at all!

Following are the steps for Firefox and Internet Explorer:

Firefox users (Windows XP):After streaming the online video, go to

  • My Computer>
  • Your Windows Destination Drive>
  • Documents and settings>
  • Unhide the hidden folders>
  • Open the user folder (if you are logged in to windows with name “Blahblah” then open the “Blahblah” folder)>
  • Local Settings>
  • Application Data>
  • Mozilla>
  • Firefox>
  • Profiles>
  • Select the recently created folder, mostly located on the extreme right >
