Playing Blu-ray movies with VLC media player from your HDD
Was pleasantly surprised that you don't need to install any of the heavyweight media players to cope with a Blu-ray movie on your PC or a laptop. Solution is much simpler and VLC does it's job.
Open VLC. In VLC media player go to Media → Open Folder... (or CTRL+F). Choose movie from your hard disk drive. If you have many audio tracks in your movie, you need to go to Tools → Preferences (CTRL+P) and in Audio tab choose your Preferred audio language.
Wireless sharing of your Desktop PC internet connection
Problem: Ability to share Desktop PC internet connection to a laptop or your iphone/htc wirelessly.
Solution: First of all you need to purchase an USB Wireless Adaptor (since there is no wireless in a pc by default), in order to share your connection wirelessly (your laptop is a must have wireless already). I purchased it from eBay for 6$.
1.Open Network and Sharing Center
2.Under "Change your network settings" choose:
3.Next choose → Set up a wireless ad hoc network
4.Give your network a name, a password (example on picture) and save this network

Click save.
Windows 7 64-bit Skype 5.1 freeze-out
Problem
I have experienced a lot of shit with this new skype 5.1 and was wondering why is it so bad. It was working at most 3-4 minutes in video-mode then it froze. Then i found several solutions actually - only activating all of them helped me!
Solution
- Quit Skype
- Go to Control Panel → Sound → Speakers → Advanced! There uncheck "Give exclusive mode applications priority".
- Press Start and in search field type "%appdata% \Skype" find file shared.xml → Delete it!
- Press Start and this time type "%appdata% \Skype\YourSkypeName" (where yourskypename = your skype account name). Find file "config.xml" and "config.lck" → Delete both files.
- Reboot

Removing activation in Windows 7
Faced this problem few days ago, when one update ruined my Windows activation for some reason, and i needed to activate.
A very simple solution i have found on Youtube. Download this application: RemoveWAT (1,29mb) and just hit Remove WAT - it took me 20 seconds of HDD work, after that explorer restarted. Then you reboot, and wohoo no activation present at all.
Adding Favorites icon for your website
If you want to customize your visitors' experience, when visiting your website you would probably want to draw an icon. If so add this line inside <head></head> tags on every page of your website.
Add this line between head tags:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://yoursite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
For drawing a favicon i would probably recommend this site: Favicon.cc. Or use Adobe Photoshop.
If you would like to create your favicon.ico from the image the best solution would be: this solution.
