How to Block/Disable Advertisements on Webmail
I assume that most of you (if not all) are not very please with the advertisements running along with your favorite webmail, like it be Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.
Get along this post and I’ll show you how easily it is to block or disable those ads. You might have read this post – How To Remove Ads (AdSense) From Gmail posted sometime back in April, that is a little hack and just for Gmail. Now I found this super brilliant Firefox add-on, WebMail Ad Blocker that can do more than that.

Free Tools to Make Your Window Always Stay On Top, and More
Sometimes is useful to have this – make a window/application always stay on top. For example, you want to refer to a particular web page while typing in Microsoft Office or maybe you are watching a movie and you want your media player to stay visible all the time no matter what.
By default, Windows has no build in feature that let you make a window to stay on top. But, there are several ways (tools) to accomplish this – free and paid. I’ll go for the free way…

How to Prevent Google.com from Redirecting to Local Google Homepage
By default Google redirects all search request and direct Google.com access to your local (country-specific) Google homepage; for my case, it is Google Malaysia (Google.com.my).
Google Web Search is customized for a number of countries and regions across the world. For example, Google.fr provides search results that are most relevant for users in France; Google.co.jp is the Google domain for Japan. We try to direct users to the site that will give them the most relevant results.
Sometimes you don’t want this. The reason is because your search will be more relevant if using Google.com rather than your local Google search.

How To Remove Ads (AdSense) From Gmail
NOTE: Removing ads from Gmail is illegal! Do it at your own risk. Below is just for education purposes.
Gmail without doubt is one of the best if not the best free email service ever. You get a clean interface, tons of storages, fantastic email search (powered by Google of course), Google Docs integrations, Gmail Labs and many more. It is a true gem for me and I have been using it since its initial roll out (that is about 6 years ago).
Well, the only complain is of course the ads (AdSense) that stick to the top (sometimes) and right panel of Gmail. Those ads are not obstructive as they are not embedded directly into the email content but sometimes, they look a little bit irritating to the eyes and quite annoying.

Another Cool Digg-Like Theme for Blogger
Well, in case you guys missed this, check it out — Digg-like theme for WordPress. This post features another Digg-like theme/template, but for Blogger.com (BlogSpot) by GoogleBoy.
Although it is not as comprehensive as the WordPress one, this theme is pretty much using the same concept — digg icon as date, entry as post, etc. The only obvious different is that it is a 3–column theme.

Update Your NOD32 Virus Signature Without Username & Password
NOD32 users? Read on!
The main (official) NOD32 update server sometimes is just too slow and the worst part is, it requires an username and password. So, if you accidentally misplace/miss-configure your username and password, you are potentially exposed to threats because you can’t update your virus signature database.
Solution?

So, to your rescue, here is a list of NOD32 mirror update servers which required no username and password.

Cool Digg-Like WordPress Theme!
There are many Digg-like WordPress themes like this and this. None of them are really like Digg (Digg layout and styles) but this one, made by VCARS is damn real!
Digg items are posts. The Digg top right ad is replaced with Youtube video. Digg icon become post date, the thumbnail become post’s thumbnail. It is integrated with Flickr photo stream and much more with the help of additional plugins.

When Obama’s Web 2.0 Mashup Went Wrong With Addict-o-matic
I bumped onto this site — Addict-o-matic that lets users create their own mashup (news, blog posts, videos, images, tweets, etc) based on certain keywords/topics.
The Test Drive
So, instead of using my own topics I try it out with out of the hot topics — Obama. Everything looks normal from Google News to Twitter’s tweets but… I noticed something weird when I look at the images retrieved from Flickr.
