Did you get an email from me saying that your email address have been unsubscribed from the Digital Inspiration newsletter? Here's what happened. →I ran a little clean up script yesterday night to remove all inactive subscribers from the list that have not opened any newsletter issue for more than a year.The problem is that tracking email activity, particularly clicks and opens, is not always foolproof and hence the script removes some "active" subscribers as well.I am really sorry about that but if you have been erroneously removed from the list, please click here to re-subscribe. Thanks!The Digital Inspiration email newsletter is sent on most weekdays and you an unsubscribe anytime anytime with a click.

A Simple Way to See your Passwords Hidden Under Asterisks

Web browser hide passwords under asterisk characters for improved security.Say you are on the Gmail login page and the web browser, as always, has auto-filled the username and passwords fields for you. →This is convenient because you can sign-in to your account with a click but because you have not been typing these saved passwords for a while now, you don't even remember the Gmail password anymore.All web browsers, for security reasons, mask the password fields in login forms behind asterisk characters thus making it impossible for passersby to see your secret string.There's however an easy workaround that will let you convert those asterisks into the actual password and you don't need any external utilities or bookmarklets for this. Here's how:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoAndiV4QEReveal the Hidden PasswordRight-click the password field and then choose "Inspect Element." This will open the document inspector window and all you have to do is replace the word "password" with "text" as shown in the video above.What we have done is changed the type of the <input> field from "password" to "text" and hence the password is revealed as the text input fields are never masked.Also, the above demo was created in Google Chrome but you can use it across all browsers including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. In the case of IE, press F12 to open the Developer Tools window and then press Ctrl+B to activate the element selection mode.

Digital Inspiration Technology Blog: Remove the Ghost Profiles from your Facebook Friends List

Remove the Ghost Profiles from your Facebook Friends List
http://www.labnol.org/internet/ghost-facebook-profiles/25579/
Sep 25th 2012, 19:51
Do you have an account on Facebook? Try this. →Go to facebook.com/me/friends and note the number of friends that you have as calculated by Facebook. Now count the number of profiles listed on the page as that is actual number of friends you have on Facebook. The two numbers may not always match with each other.Why would that happen?The reason is simple. If you are friends with John Q Public on Facebook and he later decides to delete or deactivate his Facebook account, that "ghost" profile will still remain a part of your Facebook friends circle. You need to manually "unfriend" all these deactivated profiles for Facebook to reflect the correct friend count.The other problem is these deactivated "ghost" profiles won't show up in your Facebook friends list so how do you break the connection with them? Here's a workaround:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uztqSAftmWADeactivated Facebook Profiles in your Friends ListHit the search box on the page and type a letter. Facebook will now show all friends that have that letter anywhere in the name and the one difference is that Facebook will now list even the deactivated profiles in the search results.You can easily recognize the deactivated profiles as they will have the default Facebook silhouette for their profile picture. Unfriend these non-existent profiles one by one and repeat the search with another alphabet.
