Google is everyone’s favourite, and the most popular search engine. People from all over the globe use it. Mainly because, it is fast, simple and always gives relevant results. But how about adding a little more in search results? Would you like if you could refine those results to match even more personal criteria?
Google Hacks is such application that allows you to filter search results by showing you exactly what you are looking for: applications, videos, books, song lyrics, torrents and other file types and applications. This is a complete tool to perform specific kinds of searches. The word “hack” is not what we really think. This word is usually taken as to cause harm to other computers and applications. According to Wikipedia:
“A Hack is a modification of a program or device to give the user access to features otherwise were unavailable to them.”
Who in the world has time to memorize all the search modifiers like “-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(.mp3|.wma|.ogg)”? This is where this little magic applications comes in. You can use it to find exactly the kind of files you’re looking for on Google.
Simply select the desired format, type your search query and (pressing Enter does not work) click the Search button. The results will open in a new window.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Egged By A Student
Now here’s something that all my readers would love to watch. While Ballmer spoke at the Hungarian University of Economy yesterday, a student started throwing eggs at the Microsoft CEO. This act was meant to protest the millions of dollars Hungary’s government spends to license Microsoft software at universities.

Recently I saw a similar post on TechZilo, one of the blogs I regularly read, and thought is a very nice idea to socialize with our readers. I’ve always been active on Facebook, Orkut, StumbleUpon, Digg etc.
I’ve never been active on Twitter, but since many people are ‘following’ more and more people on Twitter and it has been one of the fastest growing social networks, I’ve also started using it. I’m looking forward to expanding my friends network, and know my readers better.
