I suppose that Gtlak is the most popular chat application used these days. Most of us must be chating to atleast one person everyday in Gtalk. Once a friend told "Rony, I wish we could be unique while chatting in Gtalk". Atlast I have found a trick by which you could be really unique from others while chatting in Gtalk.
Here are some text formatting tips for Gtalk:
Bold Text- To make a text bold, place it between two asterisks. for example *This text will be bold*

Now you needn't have to spend time searching every site for your preferred username
We all know that Orkut has now changed its code and restricted some of its features like saving anyone else's photo from his album to your computer. The new feature is good to save your own photos from any misuse. But you would be little worried if sometime you need to download a party or get together photo from your firends album and the blunder wont let you do it.
To help you in this issue I have again came up with a simple trick using firefox browser.
Follow the steps:
Step-1- Open Orkut in firefox browser and login with your username and password
Step-2- Go to the desired photo page in your friend's album which you want to download
Step-3- In firefox menu bar (see photo below) go to tools >> select Page Info >> select Media >> scroll Up/Down to get protected photos address >> select save as >> you are done , the image will be saved in your computer.
You may repeat the above steps to save multiple photos from same or different albums.
Enjoy !!!
