vlc4iphone:One of the most trusted media player now comes to ipod & iphone

November 12th, 2008

We all know VLC as one of the most simple and yet effective video and audio player for a wide variety of systems. After its latest updated for PC this is vlc4iphone. It almost plays anything which you through at it and is a great solution for playing XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP etc. But still lacks some punch and has many technical issues with video playback and sound, i personally found the latest version (vlc4iphone0.9.9) much more stable. Although it looks the same it is much improved from its previous versions. It now plays XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2, AVI, and more!

Polygamy:Run Multiple MSN Messenger Instances

November 10th, 2008

I get pretty annoyed by the fact that MSN Messenger prevents user from starting multiple instances of the application. Running multiple instances might be useful for users like me who want to use different accounts one for business and the other for private contacts or simply two separate businesses or private contacts.

Polygamy:Run Multiple MSN Messenger Instances

Although it is possible to use two different clients, for example MSN Messenger and Meebo to connect with two different user IDs but that means you need to cope with two different applications. A more straightforward and simple way is to use Polygamy which patches MSN Messenger so that it can be run multiple instances.

This software can patch various versions of MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger including the latest official releases and several beta versions.

  2. Install Windows 7 Pre-beta using the DVD and while installation make sure to not put any activation key.

  4. Type any of the following three commands.
