What's Up With Samsung?

I have been using Samsung smartphones for more than five years now and the smartphones I've been using have really pissed me off. I don't know about the latest smartphones released by Samsung but the old ones like S Advance and Ace Plus somehow bring me lots of trouble than good. I know they are really old models but truth is sometimes suck.

My S Advance is just like any other typical S Advance smartphones owned by many. its SIM Card slot and memory card slot are not functioning at all. No SIM Cards could be detected nor any memory cards.

My Ace Plus- I don't know, is nonchargeable. At first, I thought there was a faulty in the power socket or the cable so I even tried to change those. Man, my method wasn't working at all.

Not to name their other models though.

Perhaps it is true as what many people have claimed, Samsung sells their products for their looks not their performances.

(I'm still figuring out what smartphone should I buy now. The brand new Nokia 3,5.6 and 3310 are expected to be released and available in Malaysia's market in June. Can't wait to know what users and experts think of them)

How To Install .apk File or .ipa File On Your Electronic Device.

Before we start this piece of cake tutorial today, let me write down the explanation on what is the .apk file extension and .ipa file extension.

• Brief introduction on the extensions.
• .apk file extension

Android application package (APK) is the package file format used by the Android operating system for distribution and installation of mobile apps and middleware. 

APK files can be installed on Android powered devices just like installing software on PC. When a user downloads and installs an Android application from either an official source (such as Google Play), or from some other (unofficial) site, they are installing an APK file on their device. 

A user or developer can also install an APK file directly to a device (that is, not via download from the network) from a desktop computer, using a communication program such as adb, or from within a file manager app in a process known as "sideloading". 

By default, the ability to install from unofficial sites or directly from a desktop or file manager is disabled for security reasons on most Android devices. Users can enable it by changing the setting "Unknown sources" in the Settings menu.

• .ipa file extension

An .ipa file (iPhone Application archive) is an iOS application archive file which stores an iOS app. Each .ipa file includes a binary for the ARM architecture and can only be installed on an iOS-device. Files with the .ipa extension can be uncompressed by changing the extension to .zip and unzipping.

Source : Wikipedia

Come on, it's okay to not know the description of both extensions. The important thing to note is an .apk file is used by the Android OS meanwhile an .ipa file is for iOS. When we download an app from either Google Play or App Store, we are actually downloading these extensions. When the app is installed, the file is actually being compressed so that you can use the app, say, the Instagram, like right now ( a readable app for us the end the users).

• How to install an .apk file
•   Firstly, download the .apk file to your android device. Remember the location where the downloaded .apk file is stored on your device.
•  Go to your device setting > security > allow installation from sources other than the Play Store tab > tick the checkbox.

• 

  Disclaimer: this photo isn't mine. I'm just too lazy to screenshot
  the whole process and I found this on Google.
• Go to the location where the downloaded .apk file is stored. Click on the file. Start the installation process.
• When the process is done, you’re good to use the app as the .apk file is completely installed as an app.
• 
  
• How to install an .ipa file

I'm gonna explain the easiest method that I always use so far.

•  Firstly, download the .ipa file and remember the location where the downloaded .ipa file is stored. I would recommend you to download it directly from your PC and store it at any location you could easily access, i.e. save the .ipa file in the Download folder or Desktop.
• Connect your iOS device to the PC. Or you can do this step first followed by the step above.
• Open up the iFunBox. Follow the instructions as pictures shown below.

Go to the Managing App Data tab.

Then you'll see the Install App (*.ipa) - as circled above.
Click on it.

Once you click, a window will appear. Look for the downloaded
.ipa file on your PC and click Save to begin the installation.

Once the installation finished, you're good to use the app on your iOS device.

I would recommend you people to use the iFunBox because it is easy to use and a very user-friendly app.

I hope this article is helpful for any of you out there.

Instagram's latest version: Could it be the worst nightmare?

Just wasting my time painting the canvas lol

Today (or yesterday), Instagram has released the latest update of the app; available on google play and apps store. Apparently I haven’t update my devices to the latest version just yet.

You see here, I got a habit of delaying the updating activities for any apps installed on my electronic devices. The reasons might be, yes, I don’t like spending my internet quota on these activities, and b because I usually spend my time reading reviews written by those immediate-updaters (I named them as such to refer to those who are the first one to update the apps to the latest version) before I start thinking whether to update any particular applications or otherwise.

*Note how many times I used the word 'update' in one single paragraph LOL.

Okay now let’s go back to the purpose of why I’m writing this entry. Last night, while I was scrolling down my Instagram feed, I saw a photo uploaded by Instagram itself. What actually caught my attention wasn’t the photo's caption but rather the comments posted by users. Lots of people riled up to criticize or give out their feedback on the latest version of the apps. Most common comments I’ve read are 

• The logout button is missing! Put it back on!
• Where’s the switch account feature?
• Help I cannot switch between accounts!
• I have like more than 13k followers in my other account. Now that the switch and logout are missing, thanks to you, feel like I cannot update the account no more!
• The update is suck! If you think this has made you a better social media platform, then I think you are very wrong! In any ways!
• I really really hate this whole showing the best posts on your timeline thing. Like, seriously??
• Do you really have to do that??

To be honest, I really don’t like the new Instagram’s feature of having our timeline no longer sorted chronologically as it should have been because that’s what a timeline is all about. I mean, come on! It maybe the best posts on my timeline but perhaps not according to my preference. The idea of turning on any users’ notifications is somehow dissed me. I’m sorry Instagram.

But thanks to them (the updaters) for providing such helpful and thoughtful comments or reviews regarding the apps because 

• The apps developers would love their feedback as these hardworking developers would immediately go all out and in to fix the glitches found in the latest version of the application, thus the known glitches would be disappear forever when the next update/version is released in the nearest future. See that’s why the feedback section on Apps Store and Google Play is important.
• The other users should aware if there are any problems with the apps before updating the apps on their devices. It is each user’s responsibility when it comes to self-awareness, thus the ‘SELF’ there. Users should not be a lazy bum to read the reviews because this is a healthy trick for them to make a wise decision; should or shouldn’t I update the apps or not just yet?

It is important to note that an update doesn’t necessarily mean that every glitch or bug found in the previous version of a particular apps is ‘gone’ gone, forever disappear or whatever the term you’re using. Basically an update means the apps has been tweaked in any ways to suit and satisfy users’ needs. That’s the reason why for an apps/ software, the version number comes after their name

 eg: Instagram v7.19.0 < the latest version of Instagram.

My friend texted me about the disappearance of Clear Search History button on Instagram. She updated the apps this afternoon and somehow couldn’t find the named button. A few buttons are missing and I hope everyone’s handling this kind of situation very well and wisely.

But hey, there’s always a trick to get the previous version of any apps back installed on your devices. If your device is running on Android platform, try to google  'instagram’s version (ie: instagram version 17) .apk file free download', download the file to your device and install it but make sure to allow the installation of apps from sources other than the Google Play Store on your device. (in the device setting)

If your device is running on iOS platform, replace the .apk file with .ipa file instead before googling them. To install any .ipa file on your iOS devices, I would recommend you to use iFunBox (a software available for PCs) and be sure that your device is connected to your PC to do so.

Then you’re good to go!

(I explained this here)

Anyway, how do you find the latest version of  Instagram? Me favor the previous one rather than this one. It's up to you people to get the latest version or not. There're always these two stores:

Change Default Guest Account Picture on Windows.

Hello my fellow tech-savvies. Today I'm gonna write about how to change the default gray guest account picture on Windows 8 (practically the method is the same for other version of Windows).

Have you ever felt bored of seeing this gray dude?

 This entry was actually written a few months back but I kept it as a draft. Now I got some time post it online.

This is an old trick but I never disclose it on my blog. Perhaps you people have known this trick.

Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\User Account Pictures

• As you can see, the selected guest image is in bitmap format (.bmp). The picture is correlated to the guest picture shown on startup.

Now is the trick.

• Delete or move out the selected guest.bmp picture off the folder and replace it with a new picture which is saved as guest.bmp

How to save your picture as such?

• You can always go to Paint or any other Photo Editor software and save as .bmp. There is always the option there.
• Please make sure to set the dimension of the replaced photo exactly the same as the old guest photo; which is 448x448px.

And below is how it looks like on my PC.

Voila, you’re good to go.

I'm feeling Googly

Howdy!
On the 1st of September, 2015, Google had released their new Logo. But that's not what I'm going to write about on this blog.

Apparently if you try to type these phrases in the search box, something nice is coming on your way. hahaha. nah, Google'd made it automatically directed to some specific pages. Below are some examples.

#1. I'm feeling puzzled

a Google a day page would appear and you're good to play the provided puzzles.

#2 I'm feeling generous

Be generous by giving away some amounts of money to needy people.

#3 I'm feeling curious

I know lots of people around the world use Google everyday to google up on something blablabla...

If, in case, you've nothing to do but your feeling of googling is in the air, why don't you 'I'm feeling curious'-ing on Google. Perhaps, a random answer out of a curiosity will make its way to you.

Then, I tried to google 'I'm feeling pissed off' and guess what did appear?

yeah, the search ended up to nothing but these.-_-*

There are lot more than these tricks when it comes to Google.You just have to google the tricks up to know more.

And how do you find this article?

How To: Install WhatsApp Messenger on a Tablet

Howdy! As so you know, Whatsapp Messenger Application is no longer supported and available on tablet devices. Despite the non-existence, do you know that you still can install and use the application right from your tablet?

THIS TRICK DOESN'T NEED YOU TO ROOT YOUR ANDROID DEVICE

Below are the information on device that I'm going to use to do this trick.
Device Name: Samsung Tablet SM-T211
Android Version: 4.4.2

As per mentioned previously, the Whatsapp Messenger is no longer supported and available on tablet devices thus, searching for the app on Google Play Store is not going to help you at all because you'll never find one. Hence, steps below:

1. Open up your browser on your tablet or your PC. If you use your browser on your tablet device, make sure to request for desktop site by ticking the small box there. 
2. Go to Whatsapp Messenger Download Page. You can just click on the link provided, I've made it to automatically open in a new tab.
   
   
   
   Click on the Download for android from our site link or just click this link, it'll bring you directly to the Whatsapp for Android page. 
3. Click on the Download Now link. You now are downloading a WhatsApp.apk file (non-auto-install version of WhatsApp Messenger application). 

Bypass A Proxy Server by ZenMate

Previously on this blog, I talked about how you can view any blocked sites by using Tor Browser. Tor Browser enables us to do so because it has this feature to bypass the proxy server, faking your IP Address. But, it has some drawbacks such that you're now online like an anonymous and the possibility for a particular site, i.e Facebook to  detect this vigorous activity of always changing the IP Address might cause you to appear as being hacked by someone from weird locations is high.

Thus, I crossed out the Tor Browser thingy from my web server list.

The most annoying message ever, is it not?

It happens that people are known for the existence of other sites, i.e Hola, TunnelBear, Hide My Ass Web Proxy, Proxmate, that service to bypass the proxy server by faking your IP Address and so forth. You can even use Google Translate as your web server. For this entry, I'll be focusing on ZenMate, the one that I am currently using.

I believe you guys must have heard about Hola VPN being discovered to be used to perform DDoS attacks and violate user privacy, thus my list of web servers is crossed out again. Since I don't really use Hola that often, I wasn't being a all sucked-up folk for this to happen. Me before this tried Media Hint, TunnelBear and those listed above is now sticking up with ZenMate, (so far).

Here's the reasons of me staying faithful with ZenMate.

1. This web server is very easy to use. You can just google it up or if you're using Chrome browser, you can simply download the extension from the browser itself.
2. The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera browser.
3. It also available on iOS, Android OS, Windows OS. With the same account registered beforehand, you can use the web server on your PCs and your smartphones simultaneously, which I believe most of the web servers have this feature though.
4. Unlimited data usage and it's free. Well, if you want some additional features, i.e malware protection, more locations, tracking protection, speedy browsing obviously you need to upgrade to premium account.
5. ZenMate is a very user-friendly web server and a safe solution if you want to hide your IP address

As so you know, these web servers are privileges for you to view the content of sites restricted to several regions. I would like to recommend ZenMate to my friends and users all over the world, no matter how tech-savvy they are. If you're looking for a safe solution in hiding your IP Address but keeping your privacy protected, ZenMate is the answer.

Life unexpected

Salam mates!

People say 'Life's an unexpected journey' and you'll basically wouldn't just believe that straight away. At least not until the 'unexpected' thing or journey happens on your way. 

-anonymous

Aku semangat nak cerita dekat korang pasal my 'life unexpected' ni dekat sini. Yelah, nak post kat facebook status kang orang kata buat tabiat mengarang panjang-panjang. So, senang cerita,meh aku cerita dekat sini aje/

Hari Rabu lepas, 11 Mac 2015, ky ada buat Aussie Unis Exhibition Day sort of dari pukul 4.20 pm - 6.00 pm. Berkaitan dengan exhibition ni, those yang berminat untuk apply ke Aussie Unis dipersilakan untuk pergi menjengah. Nak mengusha sesaje buang masa pun dipersilakan.

Habis aje kelas Maths petang tu around 4.15pm, aku dan kawan-kawan aku terus cabut ke Great Hall. masuk aje GH, oraganiser suruh kami isi form untuk  lucky draw pada pukul 4.45pm, 5.30pm dan 6.00 pm. Aku yang terpinga-pinga ni isi aje apa yang patut then terus menggerakkan kaki melangkah dari booth ke booth tanpa ada tujuan saje nak dengar mereka membebel tapi sempat la jugak apply 2 Unis (RMIT dan Queensland University of Technology). Quite fun actually the event.

Pada pukul 4.45pm, cabutan pertama dibuat dan sorang girl dapat. Well, nothing much nak cerita pun. Oh ya, the prizes were the brand new iPod Touch (1 for each draw). barang dalam kotak dari kilang lagi kau.

Pukul 5.30pm, cabutan kedua dibuat. Nama first dipanggil tapi the draw was cancelled sebab the guy dah balik dari exhibition tu. I was very lucky back then sebab my name was called after the second draw dibuat dan OMG, semua orang macam serius nama kau ke Akmal???!!!! hahahahaah.
the third draw was my friend's and she was standing just next to me when her name was announced by the emcee. member aku yang lain cakap nyesal dorang tak berdiri tepi aku hahahahahahaah.

to wrap, tuah ayam nampak dikaki, tuah manusia siapa yang tahu.

Where To Download Movie

Selama aku hidup di KY dekat 2 tahun ni, aku sering diserang dengan soalan merangkap pernyataan cenggini;

"Akmal! nak pegi bilik kau malam ni!nak copy Running Man!!!"

"Eh nak copy Hindustan weh! ada yang baru-baru tak?!!"

" Akmal, nanti tolong download-kan K-Drama tajuk blablablabla..."

obviously kami tak sebut terma K-Drama tuh

takpun;

"Kalau kau dah download  movie Siakap Senohong Gelama Ikan Duri tu habaq aku dowh.nanti kita buat tayangan weekend nih ye!"

sila baca setiap dialog dengan intonasi yang betul. bila part ada tanda seru (!) sila baca dengan jeritan yang kuat sehinggakan roommate hangpa boleh dengar dan dijerit dengan tegas.

well, basically begitulah perangai kawan-kawan aku. yang layan Running Man akan mintak stock RM dari aku saban minggu dan macam-macam lagilah. sampai kadang-kadang aku rasa macam aku telah menginovasi suatu kerjaya baharu di abad ini yakni Downloading Engineer. okeh merapu!

seperti yang sedia maklum mahupun yang belum maklum, WiFi KY ni amatlah nazak taraf kesihatannya.macam biskut pun ada gak. kalau tak percaya, tanya saya.

so bila bebudak ni tanya;

"Akmal!Kau download movie 'Kau Mulut Bau Longkang' tu kat mana dowh?? mesti best gila quota Pelan Internet kau besar macam lori.sedap jerr download movie."

lalu aku membalas pertanyaan berbaur pernyataan mereka:

"memang taklah kalau nak download movie pakai data sendiri. KY kan ada WiFi.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

keterbahakan gelak aku jelas didengari umpama gelak yang nak makan penampar aje.

dorang bila dah tahu rahsia aku, maka teruslah:

"OOOOO.KAU LA PUNCA INTERNET SLOW MACAM ARNAB YE!!!!TAPI AKU NAK COPY JUGAK RUNNING MAN DARI KAU!!"

*70% dari dialog adalah rekaan dan telah diubah oleh penulis tanpa mengubah maksud asal perbualan

aku memang pengguna WiFi KY yang tersabar di abad ini despite kelajuannya mengalahi kelajuan cahaya yang jika dibandingkan dengan kura-kura yang berlari, nescaya arnab akan menang perlumbaan tersebut.

okay, gila panjang mukadimah dia. tapi pengenalan tu memainkan peranan penting terutama kepada mereka yang nak tahu keadaan KY macam mana sebenarnya.

maka aku akan terus straight to the point .Aku boleh dikategorikan sebagai pengunjung websites berikut yang tetap dan setia. tapi sebab aku baik hati hari ini, aku rasa macam nak share dekat engkorang kat mana nak download movie dengan kualiti SD at least.

How To Use WhatsApp Web

On January 25,2015, WhatsApp, via their blog, had announced a new feature of the messenger application in which their clients are now able to remotely use WhatsApp Messenger from the desktop of their PCs.

Before the WhatsApp Web launched, we all have came to know the fact that there's always BlueStacks App Player which can be installed on PC and the app allows user to install the WhatsApp Messenger and use it from the desktop. The drawback is that only a device is permitted to content a particular WhatsApp Messenger account (one device one account principle).

To use WhatsApp Messenger on desktop, all you need to have is the WhatsApp Messenger itself, already installed on your phone and please be sure to have your WhatsApp up-to-date because the next step only can be done with an up-to-date WhatsApp (as it has WhatsApp Web preference)

Read instruction below to get to WhatsApp Web button. Steps may vary accordingly:

Girls and Selfie

Girls and cameras, they just can't help each other. Girls get distracted by cameras, so it does the cameras. I mean, not all girls are like that, but mostly yeah, I mean it.

I have like, tons, of girl friends who love to selfie or selca. For God's sake, there is not even a single day (okay, that's a bit ridiculous), I mean, not a single week they've gone through without a selfie or two. And when they selfied, uploading to Instagram, Twitter or Facebook is a must.

And all of above, too, count me in. I admit that I'm a typical girl who take selfie, too. But what I normally do is, when I take tons of pictures or selfie, I'll keep the best and delete the rest. But, I'm a keeper. I keep stuff until I acknowledge how my laptop's memories are running out of space and I have to delete the usefulness stuff like, say the old selfie(s)?

I actually have no idea why we girls (most of us) love to selfie besides to make use of our leisure time and to create and keep memories (ah, cliche), and I have no desire to know the reasons behind this matter.
But, one thing for sure, we girls just love this healthy kind of activity. We probably want to make use of the selfies when we're in silence mode with our buddy, and by looking at those selfies taken before, we may end up with 'hey, she's my buddy. There's no use of this fight. we took selfie together. maybe we can be friend again if we selfie again'

erkk.. is there such thing like above??

basically, boys, too, love selfies. They just didn't show it publicly like girls often do. But when they do, I found it terribly hilarious.

The point of selfie here is to make a memory.

Choosing A Power Bank

It's no longer a surprise when we are introduced with brand new technologies, innovations and gadgets in each single day we pass through. So that was happened when we were getting to know about an unique and small piece of gadget known as Power Bank, comes in various shapes and sizes with one main purpose; to ease each of the users who encounter a crucial situation, such that almost-dying-battery and I-don't-have-any-backup-to-keep-my-gadget-alive.

A power bank is definitely an answer or a life savior when your are in such dying-dreadful situation. There are several factors in which we shouldn't neglect when choosing a power bank.

Knowing what is power bank

Power bank is a gadget usually in small size and shape, acts as a substitute battery charger and power adapter. Implemented by a capacitor-like concept, a power bank works when there are charges stored within. Portable power banks can be a great option for a quick and convenient way to keep electronic devices charged when it’s needed

Shape and size

A bear-shaped power bank

There are various shapes and sizes available. For a satisfaction, one should be really careful and can be really picky in choosing those. There are even power banks that come out with mp3-like shape, an external hard drive shape, a cat-like an even a mango shape. Choose what favors you the most.
Let's move on to their sizes. It is just like when you are choosing a t-shirt, shirt or even a blouse. There are small-size power bank, a large one and even a largy-small (medium size). Once again, it's yours to choose. The size and shape does not really affect your gadgets' charging rate really. It is totally a different thing that need to be taken care of.

Capacity

"the bigger the better"

As the saying goes, the bigger the capacity of a power bank, the better it will be, given the fact on how it will affect the entire charging process.
Most of power banks are available in capacity of 2800 mAh, 4000 mAh, 5600 mAh, 6000 mAh and even 1200 mAh. There are also power banks that come along with 20 000 mAh which is totally big. 

Q: what is mAh?A: milliAmpere/hours . It's a measurement 

The capacity provided also hinted us on how many times one can charge his or her gadget, given that the power required to fill up the battery content of the gadgets.

The power requirement of each gadget (especially a smartphone) can be found at the box that come along when you buy the gadget; the box that keeps your gadget within it. You also can find the requirement by visiting the products' official website like SAMSUNG, Apple Inc. , HTC.

Tricks To Speed Up The Charging In Smartphones

One common thing about smartphones is that they all are easily to be discharged no matter how frequent you use your smartphone. Sometimes it feels like smartphones are no longer that smart since it takes forever for it to fully recharge but takes no time for the battery to be emptied.

This entry will cover a few tricks that should be done in order to consume less time in charging the smartphones.

Switch Off Your Smartphone

This often can be heard from any other people. In addition, if you were charging your smartphone without shutting it down it only will cause more harm to the smartphone especially its battery. There even a case in which the battery melted after the user refused to switch it off while charging and kept using his smartphone making calls and texts.


Switch On The Airplane/Flight Mode

by enabling Flight Mode, you are actually disabling every single application from being connected to any network. All connections such as bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot and including mobile data will all be disabled when you turn Flight Mode on. In this way, time taken for your smartphone to be fully charged will decrease

Use The Right Power Adapter and Cable

Trick To Unblock My Blocked Instagram Account [Updated]

Are you an avid instagrammer? Had been blocked by Instagram from accessing your own account? been blocked from commenting or liking pictures?
supposed that we have a trick that may work, (depends on warning they gave)

Why action blocked?
basically, it comes when you do all the liking for too many pictures in a short period of time. sometimes it sounds doesn't make sense at all but yeah, instagram just doing their job for security 

How long does it takes to getting unblock?
I'd say,according to the instagram itself, it will cost around 24 hours to get back to comment or like pictures once you have been blocked. that is what they say but for some people, it takes longer than that.  And even some people are prone from not getting unblock by the instagram. this may due to their comments beforehand were kinda spam ,according to their commenting protocol or whatsoever version are they've been called of.

Getting blocked for the first time?
based on my experiment aka experience before, they prone to block my account within 24 hours and NOT more than that period of time. so, be calm. still, within that 24 hours, I can like and comment some pictures by using Instagram for desktop. you know that instagram also has this feature to view your timeline on desktop, but no uploading pictures in their feature.
my advice to those who got blocked for the first time, just wait for another 24 hours. rest and take a nap perhaps.

Getting blocked for several times already?
not really for the second timer and above as this feature too, for the first timer. try to comment or like on any pictures. usually this will appear right after your trial.

just follow the instruction given as this will bring you to be unblocked from accessing your own account later.

this is how it will look alike. and I was using Instagram for desktop at that time because my phone won't work to show this kind of feature. yeah, quite an internet connection problem at that time.
as you know, if your Instagram on phone doesn't work, you can try on the desktop version. just enter the code/number, then you can enjoy your instagram again.

Is there any type of instagram block?
I'd say yes to this question because we, instagrammer too can block certain users from accessing our account or for whatever reasons it is. sometimes you only can like picture but not to comment on that particular picture and vice versa.

this trick work for me though. it may work for you too and may not work for you. if anything, just refer to Instagram technical support team back.thanks for reading and feel free to drop some comments!

POINT TO NOTE : THIS POST WAS POSTED NEARLY A YEAR AGO SO THE TRICK MAY NO LONGER WORK.

One point to note: Instagram only allows you to insert/put up to 20-25 hashtags in your caption or/and comment. Otherwise, an error message will pop up.

How to unauthorized any unwanted apps from accessing your twitter account

Assalamualaikum wbt and greets to all of you, especially you, twitter-maniac and other social media craze.

yeah, I'm blogging again despite of the exam that I currently sitting for. but, if you have anything good to share, to further ado is ain't a good thing after all.
this time, I would like to share on how to unauthorized any apps connected your twitter account, especially the one that will tank your account up.SPAM, I supposed.

well, basically,the newbies especially are more likely to be trapped into any tweets that will bring them more and more followers in just one single click, either you need to pay the followers or the free of charge thingy.
trust me, I'd done that before.

the good thing after you follow all the instructions up, more and more followers will you get until some times, you will realize that you,too, are following them, which I believe not all of us want that to be happened, righto?because following people randomly or anonymously is way too mainstream.until at a point, you keen to look up for ways to redo your actions beforehand.

frankly saying, I've been down that road before. there's a way for that thing, and yes, it's free.
(basically, I love sharing free things or info freely).

so, below are the ways that you need to follow, just a few steps, bear with it for your own good,will you?

Step 1 : move the cursor to the setting, and click on the "setting" tab

or just click the link below.
setting




Step 2 : on the left side tab, there are list of several things that you can change. just click on the "apps" tab

Step 3 : then it will bring you to this. as you can see, these are the apps that linked to your twitter account, including the one that you want to unauthorized to. just simply click on "revoke access" button and it will be like this. say, I want to revoke access on whatever the name 'ereyicesolorza' is, then I simply click on the button.

Now that, I've unauthorized the apps from accessing my twitter account /profile or whatsoever they had done before.Now that you're done, you can just go back to your timeline or whatever you were doing beforehand, continue your tweeting activities.

Tor Browser : Now everyone can open up any blocked website(s)

Assalamualaikum wbt. Howdy!!

(cracking my fingers) and yeah.the title tells it all. again.
(how I realize my cliche lines in each of my post.)

are you a student? or a worker in a company, where the internet usage is restricted,for most of the time even tho you'd call it a day alr.
there's ones said,

for every problem there is a solution

basically, this time, my post is about how to open up any blocked website(s) or URL freely. why I said 'freely' ,because this method cost you nothing but the internet connection and of course your device(s). eg; laptop, tablet, iPad etc.
I believe, if you're a student like me, then you must've encountered this problem or I'd say, an obstruction which failed you from getting into any forbidden website(s). take it from positive side, I believe the school admin or company admin have several reasons for them to block those website, to follow the protocol I'd rather say.

as I quoted before, there's a solution for each problem we've encountered,and hell yeah,it's true.

look, I'll make it simple and am going to provide you guys with the simplest solution ever to that problem.

me too, having the some problem to open up my blog and several websites weeks ago. but then I found this thing, named 'Tor Project (Tor Browser), which very useful for you guys to open up any websites without having to hack or crack down the server /admin/ system and else, and yeah, there's no need of cmd this time.

the story of Emoji

History

in the year of 1999, the number of cellphone users in Japan had increased when it came to the use of picture message as a way to communicate. the problem was, the size of a single picture message is times bigger than the text message. at that time, the mobile operators were already struggling to provide and support the needs of 80 mil. users as the technology's growing rapidly.
the engineers were told to fix this problem and they came out with a solution,named Emoji.

Emoji was born in a Japanese research facility.

a mobile hone provider in Japan, DoCoMo i-mode, became the first entity to allow users to add pictures of commonly used emoticons to their text message(s).
Basically, emoji is not all about the pictures that you add on to your text. I'd rather say emoji can be pictures, or codes

Impact

Users rejoiced at having emoticons in their text message(s) such that their existence had made the text message(s) became alive. In a time of text message(s) with up to 160 characters limits, while emoji being a character, it could go a long way.

Emoji is codes

Emoji (絵文字 or えもじ; Japanese pronunciation: [emodʑi]) are the ideograms or smileys used in Japanese electronic messages and webpages, whose use is spreading outside Japan. Originally meaning pictograph, the word emoji literally means "picture" (e) + "character" (moji). The characters are used much like ASCII emoticons or kaomoji, but a wider range is provided, and the icons are standardized and built into the handsets.

-wikipedia 

roughly translated, Emoji is a standardized icon with its meaning which commonly used by Japanese cellphone users (at that time) and widely spread all over the world

Dilema : Laptop

Assalamualaikum wbt.

aku sebenarnya nak berkongsi masalah aku. kakak aku telah meminta jasa baik aku untuk merekomenkan laptop untuk dibelinya memandangkan laptopnya yang dulu tunggu masa wreck off.

tapi sebelum itu, aku nak kongsikan kriteria yang penting dalam pemilihan sebuah laptop. antaranya;

• harga
• kualiti
• jenama (memainkan peranan penting bagi kualiti ketahanan sesebuah laptop)
• tujuan atau kegunaan laptop yang ingin dibeli
• spesifikasi lain (sebagai contoh hard drive, processor, berat, operating system dan lain-lain)

harga

harga memainkan peranan yang penting juga. kita perlulah spesifikkan range harga laptop yang ingin dibeli. harga murah tak bermakna kualiti dia murah jugak. sebab biasanya harga bergantung kepada kualiti laptop tersebut, binaan laptop tersebut. ada sesetengah laptop memang baru nak up, dia jual dengan harga yang murah. 

kes kakak aku ini, dia nakkan range dari RM2000- RM3000. biasanya harga yang ditawarkan berbeza mengikut kedai, depends jenama apa yang kita nak beli. kalau untuk SONY, harga dia memang tetap dimana-mana SONY centre. mungkin lebih murah jika dibeli di kedai-kedai SONY tidak centre seperti COURTS, masa aku buat survey dulu, harganya jauh lebih murah dari harga di centre. tapi aku tak berapa nak yakin, sebab bukan barang origin COURTS, even warranty lagi lama, tapi orang kata lebih terjamin jika barang tersebut memang dari SONY centre.

kualiti dan jenama

kualiti atau ketahanan. bagi aku, jangan bear in mind sekali kau pakai satu brand laptop tersebut dan rosak, kau terus cop semua jenis laptop dari brand tersebut memang tak boleh diguna pakai. kualiti ini turut bergantung dengan cara kita jaga laptop tersebut. kalau laptop tersebut memang jenis nak kena ulit manja seperti MacBook, janganlah dibuat seperti NOKIA 3310. 

bagi aku, semua kualiti lebih kurang sahaja, asalkan kita handle it with care antara jenam laptop yang terkemuka ialah Acer, Dell, HP, SONY, lenovo, ms, TOSHIBA, Apple (MacBook). kualiti turut bergantung dengan tujuan laptop tersebut digunakan. tapi biasanya mesin/ robot memang dicipta untuk rosak dikemudian hari. kalau tak, rugilah syarikat-syarikat mereka yang mengeluarkan sejumlah laptop dalam satu masa. sebab itulah, kalau dah wreck off tu, dah boleh nak tolong. daripada hantar kedai untuk baiki, lebih baik beli baru. inilah cara mereka yang berkecimpung dalam bidang-bidang sebegini mencari makan. life cycle.
