Copy Photos from your Friend's Profile in Orkut
Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Sunday, March 29, 2009
Recently Orkut disabled the right click on the photos of other person's profile and due to this we can't copy the photos. To copy the photos follow these steps for any web browser:
Step 1 - Click on the thumbnail of the photograph you want to download.
Step 2 - Once you get the enlarged version of the photograph, click on it and drag to the address bar i.e. keep pressing left-click and move the arrow to the address bar (where you type www.orkut.com)
Step 3 - On releasing left-click, the address bar should now have link for image.
Step 4 - Now browser window consist of image only. Save it as you normally do.
Shortcut of this method is to click on the photo and just drag on to the desktop or any folder.

Make Orkut Free From Google Ads
Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Friday, July 18, 2008
Internet is a vast place for people like us who like to surf from one site to another. Social networking sites are just one more place to surf. These sites such as Orkut, MySpace, Hi5 or FaceBook have penetrated so deep into our lives that the moment we start surfing, we logon to these sites first.

Orkut is one of social networking sites owned by Google. Though it's only popular in Brazil and India, but for some reason, Alexa says Orkut is the 9th most visited site in Ireland.
One thing which I have been annoyed of lately is the Google Ads shown by Google in the community homepage as this one.
But applying this trick you can free yourself from these ads in a cool place like Orkut.
Trick:
First and foremost requirement of this trick is that you should be using Mozilla Firefox. This Open Source piece of software is best software I've ever came across.
Fire your Firefox and proceed to this addon link -> AdBlock Plus. According to their developers
"Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install Adblock Plus now and get rid of them."
Click "Add to Firefox" and install the addon for your browser. Next step is restart your browser. Now everyone must be thinking how this can be called a trick when it comes to just installing a simple addon. Wait!!!

Whenever you want to block an ad, just right click it and click "AdBlock Image". But clicking all the ads inside Orkut is an impossible task because for that you have to search each and every community. But ever noticed that what is common with all these ads, their command format is
http://www.orkut.com/AdsIframe.aspx?xxxxxxx
This page is responsible for generating the Adsense code and placement of ads on pages.
Follow the next step and block all the Google ads. Right click any Google ads and click "Adblock Image". A box will popup and just enter "http://www.orkut.co.in/AdsIframe.aspx" . Bingo !!! You will blocked that main page which generates the ads.
This way you can block all the ads in Orkut. Liked the trick, I'll be waiting for your precious comments.

Login with multiple ids in google, yahoo, orkut
Posted by Gautam Aggarwal on Tuesday, June 03, 2008
Do you maintain multiple Google Accounts? Solve that headache of logging in and out different accounts in Firefox by this trick. I feel life can get complicated if you operate more than one Google Account and have associated different Google services with different accounts.
For example I have two Gmail ID's. One tamag[at]gmail for my work and another gautam[at]gmail for personal use. I am a big fan of Firefox and each time I need to read mails, I am annoyed of logging in and out for different id's.
Well this trick has done wonders for me, Hope it works for you to.
step 0 :
- Download Firefox for more efficiency(optional).
Step 1:
- Open system "properties"(by right clicking my computer).
- Choose tab "advanced", click to "environment variables" button.
- In "system variables" section, click "new".
- Type this information to each textbox.
Step 2:
variable name: moz_no_remote (should be all small letter).
variable value: 1
Step 3:
- Open firefox icon’s properties (from desktop and quick launch).
- Add extension -p to command line(like “c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe” -p).
- Press ok.
When you will open firefox it will prompt for profile selection create a profile,open firefox login to orkut open once more use another profile login.
