Premium Click Stats, BudURL’s service – which is supposed to give IP address, referrer etc. of the visitors, the number of clicks this advanced information is showed for is VERY limited i.e. starting from 500 for 8 US$ / month. Now, when I signed up, I knew very well what this meant, the advanced stats only show for 500 visitors but I was under the impression that after the 500 clicks, it WILL be showing the basic information which all redirect services are offering i.e. basic details of the clickers like country they visited from – which is a standard with all free URL shortening services but to my surprise, they do not offer this. Only the following information is shown after your Clickstream quota runs out.

As you can see from the above screenshot, once your Clickstream/Premium Clicks quota runs out, you won’t get any information at all except the number of clicks! My clicks ran out on the very first day and I knew that would happen but after that day (12th March) there is virtually no information given about the clicks except vague numbers about the clicks.

If you are looking for a simple URL shortener that gives you extra information like IP address, Referrer etc. It’s just better to use a URL shortener service on your own hosting account/domain name, something like YOURLS should do. A reliable shared hosting with unlimited domains, bandwidth and good up-time should cost you less than 4 US$ per month so why spend 8 US$/500 clicks, 12 US$/2000 clicks and 49 US$/50000 clicks.

You CAN get the advance information of IP addresses/referrer etc. from your RAW logs or the stats service which will come with your hosting account.

How to load and add funds to Payoneer by Paypal?!

They have introduced a NEW load to page on their website which can be seen here. When the checkout page loads, Paypal and ACH options appear for a very short time and then they disappear. However, these can be seen under source code.

I should point out that my Payoneer card is not activated yet so it is possible that adding funds/loading funds to your Payoneer card by Paypal and ACH is showing up for users with already activated cards. What this means? Users will be able to receive Paypal funds anywhere in the world, this is specially good for users that Paypal keeps ignoring and their services are not available.

This could mean a simple and a cost effective way for webmasters/freelancers to accept Paypal payments without having a Paypal account. A good way to receive Paypal in countries where Paypal is not available. If their fees are good enough, this could mean trouble for Paypal too since the users even in Paypal supported countries will move to Payoneer.

You no longer have to do searches like receive Paypal in unsupported countries OR having to create a fake Paypal account and searching for ways to activate Paypal by virtual credit cards :).

Anyway, returning to the original topic now. See below:

Zack created a modified version of the microcontroller firmware used for the audio port modem, expanded to detect an infrared signal or read from a USB host controller, then read the data transmitted by an attached keyboard and convert it to an FSK signal for transmission to an iPhone.

George then modified the iPhone application to interpret the keyboard data and display the appropriate characters on-screen.

The detailed How to are not released yet. They’ll be listed in their Book when released. Check the source for Video!

Do leave a comment if this is what you were looking for and tell why do you like a standalone installer.

NOD32 went kahoots sometime ago with me as soon as it updated to 3918. It detected some critical system files as Win32/Kryptik.JX, started deleting them and putting them in quarantine. I was under the impression that my system has been infected with the trojan but after looking at the topics to which I am linking below, it turned out to be a big blunder on NOD32′s part.

NOD32 was deleting very critical and required Windows files and Windows Files Security prompt popped up as well telling me that some files have been overwritten or missing and that they need to be restored. Eset – maker of NOD32′s take on all this is here for everyone to see:

a problem was found in the recent update of the advanced heuristics module which, in combination with the generic signature for Win32/Kryptik.JX caused certain system files to be flagged as infected. The problematic update was withdrawn from the update servers in 10 minutes after the release. Those who have come across this false positive can restore the original files from quarantine. A fix has already been issued – you can verify this by right-clicking the program tray icon and selecting About. The version of the Advanced heuristics module containing the fix is 1092.

I guess I was among several several other people whose NOD32 was updated within 10 minutes after the release of update by NOD32. I think several other people will include pretty much everyone who was online at that time since NOD32 updates automatically as soon as an update is available provided you are online. So the lucky ones will be those who were offline during this blunder.

Well, if you fell victim to this then just run NOD32 update again and check your “Advanced heuristics module: 1092 (20090309)” is 1092 – just right click NOD32 icon in tray and click About. It’s 4th in the list. Make sure its 1092 – then restore the Windows files either from Quarantine or run the files recovery software, which I guess will pop up to you when NOD32 goes mad.

Eset’s clarification:

A serious blunder on Eset’s part. Home users I can imagine fixing this problem but there are people managing company networks with 100′s of computers and whose Windows files are most probably deleted, fixing a problem like this on such a large scale is a pain…

Latest update from Eset:

A fix has already been issued – you can verify this by right-clicking the program tray icon and selecting About. The version of the Advanced heuristics module containing the fix is 1092 for v3/v4 users and 1091 for v2 users.

Update: a newer update is being released which will restore false positives from quarantine to their original locations without user intervention. V2 users will either need to restore the affected files from quarantine manually or wait for a command tool that can be used in a network environment.

Good thing – restoration will be automatic for V2+ versions.

A little while back Asus was toying with the idea of fitting a home theater PC inside a keyboard, and now we can happily say that this product is finally on its way.

The Eee Keyboard will come with wireless HDMI and a small touchscreen, and is expected to arrive in May or June, costing only $400-$600. Jerry Shen, Asus’ CEO, says that there are two models being worked on, a wired and a wireless version. It’s reported that the wireless capability is the difference between the $400 and $600 machines.

Underneath the hood it will have a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB RAM, a 16 or 32GB SSD, WiFi and Bluetooth built in. It will also feature wireless HDMI, 2 USB 2.0, VGA, HDMI and audio in/out ports.
