Google Search Hack: Free eBooks, Comics, Music, Videos, MP3

September 19, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · Comment 

Free eBooks, Comics, Music, Videos, MP3

The term Google Hack means to utilize Google’s powerful search feature and indexes to narrow down the results to your advantage, in short, you are able to Google for free ebooks, read paid articles with Google cache, download mp3 and many more.

We’re not too sure if this is illegal, but if it is, why would Google allows such search strings to exist?

Search MP3

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Michael Jackson” mp3

Using this string we are using the “index of” and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The mp3 tag on the end tells google to look for mp3s in these open directories. You can change this to wma or ogg if you wish.

Alternative:

Search eBooks

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” +(”/ebooks”|”/book”) +(chm|pdf|zip)

What does all of these weird strings mean? The -inurl htm and -inul html is attempting to filter out the regular html webpages and to display just the index pages. Searching for index of in the title is doing the same. Using the pipe ( | ) tells google to look for something OR something else. The search string is sending a query to google to search for book or ebook directories, several common ebook formats are zip, pdf, and chf.

Alternative:

Search Comics

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbr
or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbz

A large number of comics on the internet comes with a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader software such as CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). However you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer such as ACDsee. Simply rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.

How to Send Free Unlimited Online SMS Text Messages

Gone are the good old days when sending SMS online was free. I used to be a heavy user of ICQ unlimited web sms service, I was addicted and I have to admit it got me hooked, and if it wasn’t for the free online sms service, I would have abandon ICQ years ago for MSN messenger due to the usability of MSN, it was for the afford ability of sms as they lowered the price of each sms each year that I decided to abandon sending sms online.

However, sms text messages is still an expensive communication service for users in third world countries such as Brazil, India, the Philippines, Mexico, Indonesia, Africa and many more. Moreover, internet is relatively out of reach for the hardcore poor in these countries.

How to Detect Lies and Spot a Liar Without a Lie Detector

September 7, 2008 · Filed Under How To and Online Tutorials · 1 Comment 

How to detect a liar? How to catch a liar without high tech equipment such as a lie detector? You need a good eye, good ear and a healthy skepticism.

  • People tend to touch their nose and scratch their face when they lie.
  • Follow their eyes, liar then to blink a lot and cannot maintain eye contact.
  • Check their smile, people who are telling the truth tend to use many facial muscle but liar just smile with their mouth.
  • Pay attention to details, liar tend to provide more information that necessary, they are being overly specific when they are making things up.
  • Change conversation subject, if they are over relief then it is a sign of lying.

Watch the video for more tips, high recommended by me. Liars are everywhere and the information gained might be useful in our daily conversation with friends and strangers. According to JuriSense on touching the nose:

When Bill Clinton testified about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, he touched his nose every four minutes when lying, but rarely touches his nose when telling the truth. Blood pressure goes up when a person lies and otherwise feels anxious, angry or upset, which causes a tingling in the nose. People will often lightly touch the underside of their nose, by the nostrils, to satisfy this itch. This touching is quicker and gentler than the more deliberate, vigorous, repetitive rub to satisfy a typical itchy nose. It may occur several minutes after the lie, when the attorney is speaking with another juror.
