Welcome To Devils Workshop!!!

I have to say, this year is going to be the year of url shortners! With giants like google and facebook entering the url shortening business, now it’s the turn of youtube to join the caravan. Youtube has hit the internet with it’s new url shortner called [Youtu.be].

The only difference would be that the youtube url shortening service will exclusively be for the youtube videos. With the introduction of this new service, there will be more room for developers to show their imagination. The can now get custom urls for thumbnails, embedded videos and much more.

Now, to use this new url shortening service from youtube, take any youtube video url

“for example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx”

and replace the

“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=” part with "http://youtu.be/".

Your youtube urls will automatically be shortened and the new link will be redirected to the original video.

I wonder, if this will turn other video sites like metacafe etc. to launch their own url shortener! Only time will tell.

Recover all your google accounts passwords

Posted: 28 Dec 2009 01:36 AM PST

Can you imagine life without google talk, picassa or gmail notifier? In these times, a one minute outrage of google services results in panic all over the internet. People across the globe, rely on the google services for their day to day internet activities. Google has provided us with many useful utilities. But all these utilities work from a single encrypted system on your local computer so that you don’t have to enter your username and password everytime you login to any of the following services:

Google Talk
Google Picassa
Google Desktop Seach
Gmail Notifier
Internet Explorer (all versions from 4 to
Google Chrome

But, imagine the case, if you forget the password of your main account. All these services will be locked out and your life would definitely be miserable. To make you safe and happy, there is an application which recovers all your locally stored google account passwords for these services. The application is called GooglePasswordDecryptor, and can be downloaded from here

How it works:

GooglePasswordDecryptor works on the principle that all the google services use a central encrypted database on your computer to fetch your username and password everytime you sign in to these services. Now, it uses different techniques to decrypt these stored passwords to plain text and present them before you in a window

Following is a screenshot of GooglePasswordDecryptor in action:
