    Use Google Chrome as Calculator,Metric Converter | Hidden Functions of Google Chrome Browser still widely unknown

    I was just casually browsing on the Internet, then instead of typing ‘.’ in an IP address i accidentally tped ‘*’ and to my astonishment,i was much shocked on the Result, Google Chrome quickly generated the Product of the two numbers for me 🙂 . On further trial and error experiments i found out Google Chrome could be used as a really quick Calculator and Metric Converter . which can be used to save and simplify our work , Let’s check it out how –

    Procedure to Use Google Chrome as a Calculator 

    • Its really quite simple, simply type in your desired expression using the normal ‘+’ , ‘*’ ,’-‘ etc operators in the address bar and it shall return you the results . I have tested the operators (+,-,/,*,%) you can try more of them and tell me the results.
    • Here’s an example operation( “85*48/8+6-2”) and with the result(“514”) it returned in the below image – 

    Similarly Google Chrome Browser can also be used as a Metric Converter too as follows

    • Simply type in your Unit in address bar as shown below – (I typed in “5 feet” in address bar and it showed me the equivalent metres in Output)
    • Also it supports conversions from one Metric to other metric Systems too as shown in the figure I typed (“5 feet in inches”) in address bar and it rightly returned me the Corresponding inches

    Thus , Google Chrome contains this awesome functionality of an inbuilt-calculator cum Metric converter which can be pretty much time saving,especially in cases such as analytics saving the time required to navigate from one window to other . Also this trick is also quite good to show-off or impress folks with your geeky knowledge 🙂 .

    And before i conclude, here’s one more –

    we have explored a widely unknown dimensioon of Google Chrome,if you know more of such dimensions, do let us know by the comments 🙂 . Thank you!

  • Prevent Google from tracking Search-Using non https Google Search [Non SSL Version]

    Prevent Google from tracking Search-Using non https Google Search [Non SSL Version]

    Many sites today track users without their consent and store data, hence privacy of users is a major concern. Google too does the same way and tracks our previous search queries,visited links to track our usage and improve the search results . But many times it can happen that we may want to hide our search query from google or stop it from tracking our usage. Also sometimes we may want to use the old non-https or non SSL version of Google Search to search our query especially in case of slower network connections. This post covers the very same on How to prevent Google from tracking our search without having to log out or make changes to our Google profile/Account settings , And using non https Google SSL encryption.

    The Method to use Google without https and without traceability is very easy , though there are many users using 3rd party services like ducduckgo or startpage.com but i won’t recommend them,as they themselves are slower and their server processing despite using google results make them even more slower..Let us now browse the methods to prevent google from recording the search results.

    Method I —– Using Google Server IP

    Yeps, this is the most simple Method to use Google and gain access to Google search results without letting google track and using SSL , you can get the Geo-Specific Google Server IP for your location too, The Process is very Simple as follows

    • Open Command Prompt [For Windows users] or Terminal [For Linux and Mac users] and simply type the command “ping google.com” and hit enter, you will get a message as “pinging google.com (google server ip) with xx data” check the below screenshot for information.
    • Here the IP contained in the brackets is the Google Server IP , now simply enter this IP in your browser and hit enter ! and voila !
    • You are now able to access Google without https and without traceability , you can yourself check that even if you are logged on/signed in on “google.com” you are logged off/signed out on the Google Server IP Page :). Thus preventing the Google Server from tracking you and your search 🙂
    • Also, you can check for previously searched queries, they always disappear 🙂 Check the below Screenshot for live demo of the same –>
    • As you can see in the above Screenshot i have used the Google IP from the ping command and using it for searching , The Google Server IP which i used was 173.194.36.38 , you can obtain yourself IP or can use anyone from the range 173.194.36.1 to 173.194.116.255 , tested by me i.e total 80*255 IPS but may be the number is even more  🙂 You can try urself and get your own Google Server IP  for personal use 😛

    Method 2 – Appending ?nord=1 at end of Google Search

    • This is yet another method for using non https version of Google Search but unlike the previous method it doesn’t completely prevent Google from tracking your results.
    • But this method is quite useful especially in slower network connections or restricted networks where https doesn’t work properly . You can visit the non-https version of ?nord by Visiting here – http://www.google.com/?nord=1

    So ,these are some tweaks of the World’s Number 1 Ranked site, which many and many of them might not know and which can be used to enjoy the Google Search experience 🙂 , If you have any doubts/queries/suggestions feel free to contact us or comment below 🙂

  • Bank Swift Code not available-Solution for receiving AdSense Payment in India | Adsense Payment Settings for Swift-BIC

    Recently, Google has launched Adsense payment by Wire transfer in India to Indian Adsense Publisher Accounts, and has completely ditched the old cheque payment system,thus now there’s no need to wait at homes waiting for cheques 🙂 . although the wire transfer or Electronic Fund Transer [EFT] guarantees quick and easy money transfer to publishers , it requires filling of SWIFT-BIC code which is not available for every Bank in India especially the Rural ones and small branches . Thus causing Payment Problems to the Publishers , but we at TechApple have come up with unique solution to the problem of Bank Swift Code Not Available .

    Solution / Settings for receiving Adsense Payment in India even if SWIFT Code Not available —

    • First of all , Fill Up all the details in the Payment settings page except Swift code , it consists of simple fields such as Account holder Name , Account Number and IFSC Code, Make sure that you fill in only your branch’s IFSC Code and your Correct Account Number . The Payment settings will look like these —
    • You can use the site MyIFSCCode to find the IFSC Code of your Bank branch . Make sure you copy the correct IFSC Code as each Bank branch in India has its separate and distinct IFSC Code.
    • Now, regarding the SWIFT-BIC ,  First of all Please visit the site http://www.theswiftcodes.com/india/ and find out whether your Bank Branch has SWIFT Code or not , if its present simply enter the Obtained Swift Code , else
    • Simply fill in the Nearest Bigger Branch Swift Code of the Same Parent Bank as that of yours, if the SWIFT-Code of your Branch is not available .. e.g if your Account is in SBI , then look for the Swift Code of  nearest SBI branch only ..
    • Else if you still cannot find the Swift code of your nearest branch , you can use any of these default SWIFT-BIC codes as per your branch
    • Allahabad Bank- ALLAINBBTDM
    • Andhra Bank- ANDBINBB
    • Axis- AXISINBB002
    • Bank of Baroda- BARBINBBXXX
    • Bank of India- BKIDINBBNRI
    • Bank of Maharashtra- MAHBINBB
    • HSBC- HSBCINBB
    • ICICI- ICICINBBCTS
    • Oriental Bank of Commerce- ORBCINBBIBD
    • Punjab National Bank- PUNBINBBISB
    • State Bank of India- SBININBBFXD
    • United Bank of India- UTBIINBBXXX

    Now, some of you might think that using the above method is risky and like that, but in Indian Banking System SWIFT Code is used only to perform Foreign currency to Rupee conversion . and hence using any of the Parent branch SWIFT Code ensures the SWIFT Code bank branch being used as a bridge to convert and transfer money to our Local branch which uses the IFSC Code and then to our Accounts located in the IFSC Code branch , thus ensuring proper funds transfer of our hard earned Money through Adsense 🙂

    Here’s the proof of the same – My Payment received on my Bank Account 🙂

    If you have any doubts/queries feel free to ask us by comments 🙂 Happy Earning!

    4 ways to use Kindle Reader on PC both online as well as offline | Kindle for Linux/Windows/Chrome OS

    Hey guys, recently i started using Amazon Kindle and all the large collection of e-books which come with it, i found the experience very nice of being able to read my favorite books offline too, hence thought of sharing the 4 ways which i use personally for Kindle Reader online as well as offline .

    First Way ! – Google Chrome App / Kindle Cloud Reader Extension

    • Most of you users might be familiar with the Google Chrome Browser and the loads of apps available on the appstore, Kindle too has its own app on the Store which supports reading from the Cloud [online] as well as reading offline from local media/storage.
    • All the Features such as Bookmarks,highlighting,color changes,search,fontsize,etc work fabulously well and nice with the Google Chrome App
    • And to top of it Google Chrome being available for Windows/Linux/as well as Chrome OS , we can synchronise and use the Kindle Reader on Linux and Chrome OS too  as the native Kindle Reader/Client isn’t available for them.
    • Thus, the Kindle Reader Chrome extension which can be run offline too can be downloaded from here ->
      Click here to Download Kindle Cloud Reader Chrome Extension

    Second Way – Online Cloud Reader / URL – read.amazon.com

    • Like, the Google Chrome extension the Online Kindle Cloud Reader as its loaded in the browser itself, can be used on any OS – Windows/Linux/Chrome OS/Windows Phone/Symbian etc
    • The Most recently read book is automatically saved for offline use.
    • All features such as bookmarks and synchronisation , editing effects are supported!
    • Highly recommended if the Chrome app isn’t available.
    • Click here to go to Online Kindle Cloud Reader

    Third Way – Using the Kindle for PC App

    • Amazon had officially released the Kindle for PC app for Windows operating systems, but there’s no reason to why it abruptly stopped its development.
    • The Official Kindle for PC can still be downloaded and used on modern windows versions too such as Windows 7,Windows 8|8.1
    • For Running on Linux, Install the Kindle for PC app using WINE! and selecting the base OS as “Windows 98” in Winecfg.
    • The Official Kindle for PC App can be downloaded from here , Click here to Download Kindle for PC.

    Fourth Way – Using the Official Kindle Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 App

    • This is one of the most elegant way to use Kindle Reader on your PC/Tablet ., The Official Kindle App for Windows 8/8.1 Supports all the features of Kindle Reader.
    • Supports Bookmarking, Offline Reading, Cloud Sync, Editing the Font, Color,Shape , Size,Note taking and much more..
    • It simply makes reading your e-book more worthwhile and more pleasing and cool!

    So, these are the methods which i use personally, if you have any doubts/queries on setting upany method, feel free to comment , also if you have a different method do comment 🙂 so we all can share and  enjoy it 🙂
