Using an iPhone as an iPod touch

Ok this post is a legal thing to do with your iPhone once you're unable to use it as a phone (again, legally). So in case you have an iPhone in the US and move to another country where it cannot be used as in the US, then you can at least use it as an iPod touch rather than giving it to the baby to play around as a toy (well since i dont have an iPhone, i feel the freedom to write silly things like this ;) ).
So here's how you can do this.
(from apple.com/support)

To continue using your original iPhone without active cellular service, leave the inactive SIM card in place. You will be able to use the iPhone as you would an iPod touch (Wi-Fi only, no cellular service) as long as you keep the SIM with which it was last used, even if you update or restore the operating system of the original iPhone.

Activation for an original iPhone requires that its SIM card stays with that iPhone. If the original iPhone displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen, you can use that SIM card to re-activate the iPhone, regardless of whether that SIM has a wireless service account/tariff still associated with it.

To re-activate an original iPhone that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:

Reinsert the SIM card used when the original iPhone was activated and had a valid wireless service account/tariff.
Connect the original iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
If that SIM was previously valid and used with that original iPhone, iTunes will re-activate the iPhone, but without any cellular service.

Additional Information

If you no longer have the SIM that was used with the original iPhone, and the original iPhone displays the "Connect To iTunes" screen, contact your carrier to get a replacement SIM.
If you don't already have a wireless service account/tariff with that carrier, iTunes will help you create one.

For iPhone 3g/3gs :
You can use any SIM card associated with the carrier that your device supports to activate the phone. Simply place a SIM card from the last carrier with which you used your iPhone into the device, and activate it. Then remove the SIM card. You can now use the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS as you would an iPod touch (Wi-Fi only, no cellular service).

Note: You can use the activated SIM card from your new iPhone to do this.

To re-activate an iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS that displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen:

Insert a SIM card from the carrier with which you used your phone. Note: If you are using the same carrier, you can use the activated SIM card from your new device to do this. If your device is unlocked by your carrier, you can use any SIM card.
Connect the iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
iTunes will then activate the device. You can remove the SIM card at this point and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

[For iPhone 4 :

Now i just learnt that the iPhone 4 has a microsim inside it, which cannot be replaced or removed from the iPhone. So i will post the details on this when i get the info on how to go about iPodding your iPhone 4.]

Cheers! happy ipodding.

Why teams play cricket

India - sachin tendulkar (cos god chose to be in the Indian team. and he'll be retiring on dec 12 2012)
Pakistan - fix games, get money, make bombs back at home.
Bnagladesh - they want to win a test match. and after that they all retire.
Australia - well, the world cup happens, and someone has to win it...
Newzealand - the 'monkey' has a tail.... ;)
England - The poor bastards founded the sport at some wrong time and pride's at stake.
South Africa - Hot cheerleaders!
SriLanka - To play against India twice a month (or whenever the latter feels like making some money)
West Indies - cool afro hairdo,insane goggles and weird celebrations whenever (or if at all) they pick wickets.
Zimbabwe - probably the only team with some intentions of playing cricket. but the poor chaps don't know cricket is not a game thats played with any intentions of playing it.
Afghanistan - whenever pakistan runs out of funds (or supplies).
Netherlands - To wear the horrible orange colour and make the people watching them blind.
Canada/USA/Ireland/Scotland/Bermuda - just to make the list of playing nations longer.

Rapidshare : a better way to download movies

I've been wanting to write this blog/tutorial since a very long time and finally i got the time now to do so... I've also included snapshots of the softwares and sites. click on the image to enlarge.

A lot of people have asked me where i download all the tons of movies, apps and music from and how i do that. simple and straight, its from rapidshare.com

Now many of you must be using various torrents to download files which is indeed a great place to do that. I've once been a great fan of torrents and used quite a lot of it but torrents come with their own problem. One big problem with the torrents is that they are virus prone. Most of the times you can end up downloading virus and other malicious files hidden with the movies. since the torrents are basically 'peer-to-peer' processes, they are dependent on the people serving the files and speed of download often vary. Another problem that i once faced was that i downloaded one movie and when i opened the file it was another movie altogether.



It has been quite some time since i started using rapidshare and another 'magical' software called 'Universal Share downloader' (US downloader) and I'm totally satisfied by it. I've downloaded over 500 movies and not once i had a problem of any sorts mentioned above.

Since many of my friends asked me how to use these sites and softwares, i thought of sharing the information here so that its much easier to convey.

You need four programs for this process.
1.RS links serving site
2.RS links
3.US downloader
4.Winrar for extracting the downloaded files

Rapidshare is one of the largest file-hosting site and according to their claims, users have uploaded upto 10 petabytes of data! what this means is virtually everything you need is available in RS.Most of the data are split and uploaded in parts and the number of parts depend on the size of the file to be downloaded.There are two types of accounts you can download files from. A paid account,which offers you with unlimited and multiple simultaneous downloads and uploads. Another is the free account,which most of use , allows a single download at a lower transfer speed.



So now we know about RS. but where do we get RS links? Here's how. There's a wonderful site called http://www.warez-bb.org/ . This site contains a huge collection of links for millions of movies,songs,softwares,games,e-books,TV shows,scripts and templates. All you need to do is join the website, search for the file you are looking for and get its RS links. The best part of this site is that you can see the screenshots of the movies you want to download and check their quality even before you download. Plus you get a wide range of file formats.From a 300mb '.mkv' file to a 3GB+ blue ray or HD format you get everything. So all that is left is to search for the best print and get its links (preferably rapidshare links). and make sure you make a note of the 'passwords' if any are mentioned below the links.you need them during extracting the file.






One problem with downloading from rapidshare with a free account is that once a part has been downloaded you have to manually enter the subsequent link and wait for about a minute and press 'download' for the download to start. now this is something thats not very comfortable to do. This problem is solved by using the US downloader. I came across this light and brilliant application when a friend of mine told me about this. It's very easy to use this software and its very effective at the same time. Once you have the RS links (copy them all from warez) for a movie or an application, paste them in the US downloader and forget about it. It does everything by itself. It waits for the time RS tells, downloads, and even switches off your computer if you wish to once all the download is complete!Go to the scheduler in the settings and adjust the settings so that the computer switches off after all downloads are complete. you can even set an alarm if you want...It's a pretty software indeed.



The screenshot below shows some of the initial settings that you have to change. Give the values as in the picture and you are good to go!




One last thing you need after downloading you file is winrar to extract the files that have been compressed.If it prompts for a password, just paste the password you copied from the warez site and press enter.

And thats about it. This method is very easy and very safe to use. hope you've understood what i've told. If you get any problem anywhere in the process you can get to me anytime. drop me an email and i'll retort asap. And meanwhile please let me know what you think about this tutorial. any comments and suggestions are welcome.
