SHALLOW HACKER ㋡

I decided to post all the emoji from the iphone emoji keyboard on my Facebook status to see which ones would be displayed in the iphone App. Even though you can type in any iphone emoji you want when updating your status and can even actually post your status with any iphone emoji in it without getting an error, many of the emoji don't actually display in the iphone app when you refresh it to see what you posted. The image in this post shows all the emoji that I was able to see in the Facebook iphone app after submitting my status. NOTE: Unfortunately, what emoji you can see depends on what you are viewing Facebook with. Below is what you can see in the iphone App, but when I checked it with the Google Chrome desktop browser, very few emoji were displayed :-(

If you are not yet signed up for Dropbox, but plan to sign up for it soon. Please sign up for it via this special referral link: http://db.tt/CFJPmGeP .

For those who don't know what Dropbox is, it's a really user-friendly online storage service. Highly recommended!

When trying to sync offline files in Windows you may sometimes get an error “parameter is incorrect”. Before I show you how to fix it, I'll tell you what's most probably gone wrong. This quote is a post I found in the digitalspy forum (see my sources) and explains it beautifully. "The simplest explanation is that you've exceeded the maximum path and/or file lengths. On Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters. 'Path' includes all the nested folder names, eg "C:\MyPrograms\Microsoft Office". 'File Names' include the extension ." Now here's a great way to identify which path or file is causing the problem. Get the Path Scan app from here  http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Path-Scan.shtml  (This is an older version of Path Scanner but you need it because it works with UNC paths - i.e. paths that start with double-slash '\\' - wherea...

After I upgraded my Macbook to OSX Lion, my NTFS-formatted USB drive would no longer mount... GREAT! %$#@ I use an free open source NTFS driver for Mac called NTFS-3G ( You can get it from SourceForge here - grab the dmg file). However NTFS-3G is built on top of a piece of software called MacFuse (part of the NTFS-3G installation)  and unfortunately MacFuse only provides a 32-bit interface, whereas OSX Lion has a 64-bit kernel. I found the explanation of the problem here . I was able to solve the problem when I came across a little gem on this site: http://www.fatframe.com/2011/07/25/macfuse-issues-mac-os-10-7-lion This guy has posted a custom compiled version of MacFuse, compiled for 64-bit. I downloaded this guy's custom compiled version (look for the link to the zip file half way down the page) and just installed it straight on top of my existing MacFuse version. Then rebooted. It solved my problem! I can now mount my NTFS USB drive and I have read/writ...
