Try and run Software Applications without actually installing them

Posted: 07 Oct 2009 11:37 AM PDT

I am fan of testing new applications and enthusiastic about experiencing new features in various softwares. Many a times, there are some unstable releases which can put you in trouble on installation. So, how about skipping installation and making it portable?

Yes, you can make a Portable app out of any installation setup file. This is made possible by extracting the files inside installer. Any software setup or installer is nothing but an archive of files which is programmed to extract at specified locations already.

Universal Extractor is a tool which can extract most of Setups locally inside a folder and you can start using any application without actually installing it.

Why Avoid Installation?

Conventional Installation allows the files to be write on system folders. Yes, you can uninstall but it creates unnecessary registry edits and heaps of garbage files in cache. Moreover, it increases number of System Restore points (if created one) by various installers.

How it Works?

Just drag the setup file you want to extract and click OK. Within seconds you have all the files in archive extracted at the directory location.

Now hunt for the application starter which is generally an exe file (like for Firefox, its firefox.exe inside nonlocalized directory).

My Verdict : Works for most of the softwares and easy to use utility. Great time saver for testers like me and helps you in keeping PC clean.

Make Free unlimited calls from PC to Mobile anywhere in the World

Posted: 07 Oct 2009 08:40 AM PDT

Every Internet User’s dream! Infact, there are various services promising free local and international calls but sadly, only handful of them works. Here is something using Yahoo Messenger which can be used to make unlimited PC to mobile calls.

Yes, there are some services working fine but just for US but this one can be used to make free local calls to India and other nations. I read this on Renjus Blog and tried and voila! it worked for me. I couldn’t resist myself to share this trick with my readers. Here we go-

How to make PC to Phone calls for free anywhere in the World?

What I need? 1. Latest Yahoo Messenger version 9.0 which supports Voice protocols. 2. Microphones

How do I start? After installing Yahoo Messenger, Sign and configure Mic and Headsets. Dial +18003733411 and hit Enter.

1. Enter Number

Now, you can see a small window calling to that number with the message : There is no charge to call this number.

2. Calling

You will be connected to Free Call and operator welcomes you. You will be given options to choose from various services from free411 and last one is Free Call. Now Say FREE CALL loudly in you microphone.

There will be short advertisement. Wait till they say -"Please dial the phone number country code first,don't forget to dial 1 for north America"

Start dialing the desired phone number you want to call. Include Country code (eg. 91 for India) followed by the mobile / landline number.

3. Dial Phone Number to call

Start talking to the person you have called. It will last for 5 minutes (not too less) and you can repeat same procedure to reconnect.

Why Free? FREE411 service toll-free number is based in USA. This company gets paid for the advertisements from sponsors.

Any Limits or Restrictions? Not actually, you can use this service limitless.

My Verdict : Indeed a great service as I always like FREE ones. I faced problems like while dialing number of desired person- Sometimes they say “Servers are Busy,Try again” but that has to be compromised as its a free service.
