Domain name business is a huge industry and every year, we see sales worth overs hundreds of millions. Only recently, the market was buzzed with the news of Vodka.com being sold for $3,000,000 on sedo.com. So, if you have some good domain names, who knows you can be a millionaire too.

So, why is the title of this article “White Reviews”? Because, I am talking about WhiteReviews.com here. The domain name WhiteReviews.com is for sale at present and I think this is a good name if you are planning to start a products or services reviews website. This is a keyword domain and you will find many results for these keywords on google too. You can check it here. And for those searching for nice LLLL.com, here is a good one.

Some guys here are really pissed off by a message that popped up each time they tried to access orkut, youtube or even myspace through their browsers. These guys started asking “if the Orkut is banned?” or “is Youtube banned?” and other such types of questions on forums, discussion boards, yahoo answers, etc. Now, is orkut really banned?

The pop up message which exactly looks something like “Orkut is banned you fool, The administrators didn’t write this program guess who did?? MUHAHAHA!!” or something like “Youtube is banned you fool, The administrators didn’t write this program guess who did?? MUHAHAHA!!” Technically, this message is caused by a computer worm called W32.USBWorm (or a few variants of the same). This worm mostly spread from one computer to another when you insert a USB drive, like a pen drive, a flash drive or even a cell phone memory card.

Now, how can you remove this worm?

This Orkut or Youtube worm generally places itself in a hidden folder named heap41a in your C drive (or your Windows drive). You can directly access this folder by typing C:\heap41a into your Run command box. You will see a variety of files, including Svchost, Script1, Reproduce, etc.

To remove the worm, select all these files (except one file named Svchost); and delete them (Shift + Del). Now go to your registry editor (Run > regedit) and Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > policies > Explorer > Run. On the right hand side, you should see winlogon key value set. Right click on it and delete it. (Note: In some computers, you may find the same at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Run).

Now, restart your computer. Once you have restarted, go to Run and type C:\heap41a. You will see the svchost file. If you see any other files, select all and delete them. Remove it from the recycle bin as well (Ctrl + Del).

Now, open your browser and log on to www.orkut.com or www.youtube.com. Voila! you got it right!

Note: The same USB worm also causes a peculiar firefox problem. When you try to install a new version of firefox or when you try to open it up, you will get an error message something like “I DNT HATE MOZILLA BUT USE IE OR ELSE…“. This maybe called a “Use Internet Explorer you dope” problem. So, you have just solved this problem as well. Enjoy.

Well, the 50th Golden Jubilee NASA Convention (NASA07) started today morning in MANIT Bhopal and you can see guys and girls all over the college campus. About 3000 (as told by a friend of mine here) students from different Architectural Colleges from across the country are participating in the convention. It’s a big time here in our colleges and I hope things will go great.

And for those hostellers whose rooms locks has been removed without their knowledge, in order to accommodate the NASA team, I still wonder if things will still go great for them, when they return back hostel.

For those of you who are still wondering if the results came out or not, yes the results are out and by now, some of the result sheets are even gone from the main notice board! I just check the MANIT website for the results but seems like it has not been updated yet to include the results. The results should be up on the MANIT website soon. So, check back often.

For the Vth Semester public, I heard someone uploaded the result onto a blog. So, you can look for the results on the web, other than the MANIT Official Website. And BTW, there is a short term course on Information Security being organized by the Computer Science and Information Technology faculty PLUS some guest lecturers. And you can read more on this here.

Seems like some guys are having problem with Simon mall gift cards. Such problems seem to be common with mall credit cards. So, check them out.

There are other gift cards out there if you want to take a look. Like the Combo Gift Cards from Holiday Ornaments and Gifts. It’s a paid one but seems like it’s very popular as of now. If you want to win free Abercrombie & Fitch Gift Card, then you should check out this offer. I think this offer works only for US.

Because there are many gift card company which cut off a percentage, if the card is not used as time goes on.

Well, I wrote about how one of my site suddenly went down in the SERPs in my previous post. Now, that site has again come up and it’s now in the first page of many search keyword phrases. Seems like it was a random “Google Joke” and many people seem to face similar problems. I did a little bit of search about this problem and seems like the only solution is to wait for a while and see if your site comes up again in the SERP.

The worst thing is, I made some critical changes to my site content while my site was still down in the SERP thinking that might improve the ranking. But now, I am really worried how my rank will be when Google update my site cache again. Big G is still having my old content in their cache and my site rank very well for some keyword phrases I am promoting my site for. Well, seems like I will have to wait and watch again.
