Mac OSX: Changing Login Screen Desktop Picture
It would look odd whenever you lock your screen (showing Login Window) it will show the default desktop picture instead of your customized desktop picture. To change the default desktop picture, you will need to know where your picture is stored. Open the terminal from Application>Utilities and type the following:
- cd /System/Library/CoreServices
- sudo mv DefaultDesktop.jpg DefaultDesktop_original.jpg
- sudo cp Path/image.jpg DefaultDesktop.jpg

Facebook: Street Racing Script Tutorial
Okay, since some of you have been asking me how to install and I had to give a step-by-step instructions everytime, I present you a tutorial on how to install these scripts.
Well first you must install Greasemonkey for Firefox (if you can't then find in google). Once installed, you will see a new menu in the "Tools" part of Firefox which consist of Greasemonkey or you can simply have a look at the lower right part of the Firefox window (right side of the status bar).
Secondly, have my scripts ready at hand, extracted and viewable with any text editor.
Now right-click on it and select "New User Script..." (Repeat these steps 3 times for SRAutoXP, LoopAutoXP, SROutOfBounds) as shown below:
Now, a new script window will appear (for first time installs, usually it will ask for a preferred text editor, select notepad for pc or textedit for mac)
Enter these information accordingly to the scripts in the box:
SRAutoXP
- Name: SRAutoXP
- Namespace:*
- Description:
- Includes (One per line):
-http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/fight.php* - Excludes (One per line):
- Name: LoopAutoXP
- Namespace:*
- Description:
- Includes (One per line):
-http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php* - Excludes (One per line):
- Name: SROutOfBounds
- Namespace:*
- Description:
- Includes (One per line):
-http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/*
-http://* !!Warning: If you include this line, it means everytime you enter ANYTHING, it will redirect to SRAutoXP!! - Excludes (One per line):
-http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php*
-http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/fight.php*
Repeat the steps 3 times accordingly to each given script, then apply the update from my previous post here.Finally, to run the script, right click on the Greasemonkey icon and enable or click on the icon and ensure that it is colored (if it is grey, it means Greasemonkey is disabled) then refresh the page to let it roll.
Please do leave questions, comments and suggestions on the comment box. Now you can sleep and let the script race for you! Have fun!

By looking at the details RIM means Research In Motion so it is the actual Skype for BlackBerry. After successfully installed Skype on my 8310 Curve, I configured my account but failed to connect and a message appeared saying "Skype couldn't connect over your phone connection". Below are some screenshot of the application:




So if anyone of you feeling lucky and would give it a try download Skype Beta from here and post your results in the comments, thanks!

Blackberry: Remove IT Policy
Whenever you purchase a second hand Blackberry either from eBay or from a friend, some of them have IT policy still attached to them. IT policy can be a hassle since most of it won't allow installation of 3rd party applications and such. The following are the steps to remove an IT Policy easily (compilation of sources from the internet):
- Blackberry Desktop Manager (comes with the CD or download here)
- JL_Cmder, a compilation of batch scripts by d_fisher from Blackberry Forums for some cases. For 8110, 8120, 8130 and 8330 with 4.5 OS installed simply use JL_Cmder resetfactory option, restart device and you're done.
BlackBerry default blank IT Policy and save it into your BlackBerry installation directory (c:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry (for other than mentioned above).
- On Windows XP or Vista, go to regedit (Start>Run)
- Navigate to HKEY_Current_Users\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\PolicyManager and right-click your mouse and select New/String Value and name it as "Path". Then double click the "Path" and set Value Data to "c:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\policy.bin"
- Open the Desktop Manager
Connect the Device

Facebook: Street Racing Update
Continuing my previous post on Street Racing Cheat, by request of many users I will provide instructions on updating the script. Perhaps my uploaded script had some bugs in it. To fix the looping bug, fix the SROutOfBounds, ensure that the excluded pages includes both of these files (make sure you include the asterisks (*):
http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php*
http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/fight.php*
To update the script to include the new races, edit the last line of SRAutoXP replace:
window.location.href = "http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php?uid=" + user + "&jcode=24"
with
window.location.href = "http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php?uid=" + user + "&jcode=48"
Good Luck!

Blackberry: A Word Regarding PIN and IMEI Clones
Derived from Kaskus - The Largest Indonesian Community
BlackBerry has been so popular nowadays that even refurbished to blackmarket units are sold like hot cakes. Due to its popularity, there are a lot of people trying to take advantage of this situation. Since BlackBerries are sensitive product (especially to RIM and cellular operators) there are 2 keys which you must really pay attention to which is the IMEI number and PIN number. These two are impeccable and neither could be changed to be kept valid.
A lot of sellers, especially blackmarket ones take advantage of used or even trashed BlackBerries and assemble it to re-sell it. Stolen or unregistered units are usually suspended by RIM and to allow users with suspended PINs there is a method called PIN cloning. This is very popular in the market so I advice you to beware of this. There are 2 procedures you must do to confirm this. It is advisable to perform these procedure before purchasing (or at least at a warranty period if the seller allows it)
The first procedure is to go here and check whether your IMEI is registered as the device you are using. At some cases, the IMEI registered is different from your device (for example you are checking your 8310 device IMEI while in the website, it indicated that the IMEI belongs to 8110) if thats the case then bummer! Return it to the seller or trash it since RIM will eventually block your PIN once it does a sweeping. But if it says that it is unknown, then there are 2 possibilities. The first is that it is unregistered or unlisted (since most US cellulars are not registered here). If thats the case then the second procedure only guarantees 50% that RIM won't block your PIN in the future.
The second procedure is to register to your operator (registration of BB service is required to do the procedure). Go to your operator BlackBerry site (usually http://operator.blackberry.com) and register the device by entering PIN and IMEI. If your device is successfully registered and the first procedure matches then your can relax, otherwise if it gives an error such as "Invalid PIN and IMEI format. Please retype your PIN and IMEI. The Information you provided is incorrect" while you are sure that you entered the correct PIN and IMEI then your out of luck. Good luck!

Mac OSX: Performing Maintenance
In Mac OSX, maintenance are performed regularly to keep your system always at its peak performance. Since these maintenance scripts are usually run at specific time, most of the time these maintenance are missed or skipped which leads to degradation of performance of your system. To perform the maintenance tasks (all daily, weekly and monthly routine at once) in case you missed some open the Terminal app, and type: sudo periodic daily weekly monthly and let the maintenance script run, it may take a while but the performance of your system may increase significantly for some whenever they miss the maintenance schedule. Below are some explanation of each maintenance script: (Taken from http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html) Each maintenance script — daily, weekly, and monthly — has a specific function. Their functions have varied over different versions of Mac OS X.

Mac OSX: Leopard 10.5 Enable Root User
For Mac users especially for UNIX savvy, enabling root user is essential. This will allow better management of your system and have a separate password whenever you run "sudo" in terminal or X11 app.
To enable root user in Leopard go to Application>Utilities>Directory Utility from there go to Edit>Enable Root User which will then prompt you with a new password to enter. Once completed, now running "sudo" or "su" will work only with the given password. Have fun!

Mac OSX: Personalize your login window
I've been a mac user since a very long time. Currently, my main machine is an aged Black MacBook 1st generation. For some, whenever you leave your mac, you will of course leave it to your login window (in Windows, it is known as lock user by pressing Window+L) so that your computer is safe from the wrong hands meaning that nobody can access your computer (your session at least) without your user authentication.
In mac, the only way to allow this is by enabling fast user switching first, from there you click on your fast user switching icon (usually on the top right) and select "Login Window...".
If you want to add more personalized message in the login window such as "This computer is mine", go to the terminal and type the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText "This computer is mine"
Then try to go to the login window and voila, you will see the text just above the user list. Have fun!

Facebook: Street Racing
Facebook Street Racing Game by Zynga is addictive, people from all around the world joins the fun in this game which includes me. This text-based click game is a real treat to kill time or even working hours hehe... . This very popular game is without glitches. I found out several glitches and you may also call it cheats. Well first off, you need to sign in and allow the Street Racing Game to access your Facebook account, from there on be careful don't rush to play just yet.
Here i present you some of the glitches:Extra Stats This glitch has been recently fixed.
In your home screen you will see a box allowing you to take quiz for a free 5 point stat, take it! once completed (you can skip the publishing etc) at the end you will find a "race" button. Click there and you will be directed back to the home screen. See the stat on the top-right of the home screen you will see a little +5 stat. Don't click anywhere just yet, click on the "Race" menu. Now see your stat, voila! +26 points.Extra 5 Favor Points This glitch has been recently fixed.
Secondly, type the url http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/index.php?action=newbreward and you are granted 5 free favor points other than your first one once you begin.Extra Stat and Extra 5 Favor Points can be repeated once the server resets (Zynga regularly updates the server, so make sure you check the "take quiz" part, if it tells you to take a quiz for free 5 point stat then be sure to follow both of the above steps. This glitch has been recently fixed.
Directly Recruit Facebook Friends
Some properties, bonus cars and even some races (for new players) requires a certain number of crews you have. This works only on players which is also your facebook friends. Go to the "Friends" menu, from there you can race your friends which may or may not be on your crew. Right click on their name and you will see a link something like http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/stats.php?user=655041xxxx which means that this is a player although he is not in your crew. To recruit them officially, you must first add them to your invitation list and they are to approve your request. Well to save time, type this into your url http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/index.php?action=statusrecruit&from=655041xxx and your friend will automatically be added in your crew. Neat eh?
Free XP without Gas
Now here's another trick to get you some free XP without spending your gas. Through this you are "supposedly" helping your friend in completing certain races. There are 24 races to complete in Street Racing in which you are allowed to help 1 friend to complete 1 race. Type in url http://apps.facebook.com/streetracinggame/jobs.php?uid=655041xxxx&jcode=1 in which 655041xxxx is any user id number (which can be retrieved from the above way but is not limited to your friends, so it can be anyone's id but do make sure the id is from a valid player otherwise an error will occur). For the last digit (from jcode=1) you can type in the race number valid from 1-24. So 1 user id can get you 24 races which gets you up to 5 free XP without sacrificing any gas.
Quick Race/Challenge
To repeatedly race or challenge a person or event, click on the even button (for example 1v1 or race) repeatedly allowing you to save wait time for the loading.
Autoplay Script
Well smart people are lazy people. If you play Street Racing using Firefox or any other browser supporting the Greasemonkey plug-in which can be downloaded here can download StreetRacing for Greasemonkey script from here. Once installed, refresh your browser and go directly to Street Racing app for Facebook. Ensure that the monkey face on the bottom-right of your browser is on. A hidden menu just under the top banner can be clicked and configure. From here you can configure it to auto-fuel, auto-race, auto-challenge and set numerous parameters. The current version 1.7.0 is still buggy but working and saves you a lot of time but do check it from time-to-time as it sometimes stops working.
Free XP without Gas Script
Well for those feeling lazy to repetetively on getting free XPs, I created my own script which you can use. There are 2 scripts in total, the srautoxp.user.js allows the script to get user id automatically from challenges. Another script loopautoxp.user.js is to loop the race once the id is obtained. The last script loopautoxp.user.js is optional which allows redirection the the challenge page if anything goes wrong. Download your scripts here. Please note that only one type of script is supported at a time. So either you choose the Autoplay Script or Free XP without Gas Script.
Before running the scripts it would be wise if you save your username and password of your facebook.
Please do post any other findings you found and let me know how this article helped you in the comments! I came from level 22 to 53 by just leaving the Free XP without Gas Script overnight. Thanks and happy racing!

Blackberry: Pip-Boy Theme for Pearl
The recent Pip-Boy 3000 theme created by crackberry forum member sadosdemetrios was a hit, broadcasted on numerous blogs and dubbed as the most unique theme created made lots of user are demanding the theme ported for their specific devices.
While I personally never actually tried the theme as the pearl version of the theme is unavailable (I highly doubt that it will be available), I decided to create a version for pearl 81xx. What I plan to do is to create a community-created pipboy theme and to prove that I am perhaps capable of creating, I attached a draft version of the theme which can be installed on your 81xx version 4.5. Special thanks to sadosdemetrios for his fantastic idea and design. This draft was created by screenshots of sadosdemetrios' version for curve and storm so it may appear a little rough on the edges. Feel free to give thoughts and comments on the theme and suggestions are most welcomed.
Below are some sample screenshots of the draft theme:.jpg)
.jpg)
.jpg)
What I would appreciate most is your submitted graphics, mock ups or especially icons which if possible in an editable psd file (upload to any free or paid image host and post the link in the comments) and I will try to create our dream pip-boy theme from the best submitted image free for the community. Oh, and the usual donations are most welcomed, Thanks and stay tuned!
Download the theme here (contains .alx and .cod for desktop install) I don't know how to create and OTA link and I also lack of resource for it so if you could create one for me and host it, I would really appreciate it.
EDIT: The theme is actually available. Well lets just keep this as an alternative version.
