Little Bondgiri is here!! this trick is seen long back posting lately. sorry for that.

Requirement :
1. text file (Somename.txt) containing your message.
2. Image file(somename.jpg) just your normal Picture file!!

Procedure :
well if you know little about DOS commands then this is nothing new for you!!

put both the file into some Empty Directory(JUst for sake of simplicity) on C drive
goto that directory path. and command

copy /b somename.jpg+somename.txt somenewname.jpg
hit enter.

Congratulation you have done it!!
now just open the new file(somenewname.jpg) in you image Viewer it will looks same as original no difference.
now just open the new file(somenewname.jpg) in Notepad(I know you will fill strange opening image in Text editor)
Well Lots cris cross letter simbols are there. don't Worry about them.
Simply go to end of file!! Did Bell will Rang your head!!
the Somename.txt content is available at the end of new file.

Explaination of above command:
well copy is copy command in DOS which copies two files in Binary mode. and creates new file.
here sequence of jpg+text is important to create new bmp file.

Thats all. your Love letter is pretty secure from your GF's Brother/ father. Well if she know how to read that message then you get some point.

Solution : Yahoo tracks you!!

As you all know, Yahoo! upgraded its features and the capacities of the mail accounts have grown to 1GB. That's good for sure, but the "monitoring" methods that we all have been far too familiar with in the last couple of years have been renewed with this move also. Yahoo! is now keeping track of which sites its members that are getting into groups or using Yahoo! services are visiting and storing this data with a method called "Web Beacons". The aim is to give these statistics to the partner companies arranged by agreement and to improve the "advertisement guiding" function.

However, those who are bothered by this and do not want to be kept track of have still a choice. Yahoo! has hidden this option way deep inside somewhere


1. Go to the address
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

and click the "Cookies" link under the "Special Topics" column.

2. Click the "Web Beacons" link under the "Reference Links" Column.

3. On this page, click the "click here to opt out" link toward the end of the third paragraph under the "Outside the Yahoo! Network" title.

4. After a while, a page that says you have been out of the monitoring program will load. Without doing anything, close that page or continue your usual surfing by typing another address in the address bar. (Do NOT click the "Cancel Opt-out" button, your action will be cancelled!)

5. You're done! Now Yahoo! will not record what you're doing during surfing.

You can let your friends that might be interested know about this; since no matter how "innocent" it may seem, it's still a violation of privacy

note:

Did you know that Yahoo now tracks every LINK or AD that a user MAY HAVE SEEN ON THE PAGE. They now accumulate 1 Terra byte of data every 1 days
