None are working atm.

Follow me on twitter to get latest updates!  http://www.twitter.com/itisme1760

Guys, it seems as though some reader ratted this out on us and we are linked from major internet news websites. I will hope to find more codes in the future. But please, if you have any spare change, donate to itisme1760@gmail.com via Paypal or the donation jar on the top right.

Well hello again guys. I have another working Facebook Private Photos Code. It does not let you view all their pictures, but only the last album in which they tagged themselves in. Pretty much, it is the same as this code but you just need to take off one part of it.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1234567&id=[Person’s Friend’s ID]&op=1&view=all&subj=[Person’s ID]

Put that in first into your browser and then it will tell you “Cannot Find Page”. Facebook will automatically fill in the correct pid=###### for you of the person you want to view. Then you will delete the “subj=” part of the code in the URL with the correct pid #.

You can actually view lots of photos, one person I tested it on, I got 300+ pictures. So it is pretty good.

Please, if you like these codes, and wish to see more in the future, please donate towards the hosting costs as I pay for it out of my pocket. Paypal: itisme1760@gmail.com via the top right hand corner donation jar.

EDIT:
Reader, My Sister Touched Me said that this may work…

To view the last pics of a person they tagged themselves in, do the following:

Copy and paste the link below to a browser.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1234567&id=[someone's id]&op=1&view=user&

;subj=[someone's same id]

Now replace someone’s id and someone’s same id , with the user id of the user you want to view his/her last tagged photos.

Press enter.

Then try the same link but by deleting the last part &subj={someone’s same id} from the link.

Tadaaa !!

It works but not always I guess.

Think Green! Ways to help the environment.

February 26th, 2008  |  299 views | Published in How To's

While America and research companies are trying to push America into a more “green” society, there are many tips and ways you can do everyday to help contribute to the environment.  Many people travel to work by car and they only drive themselves.  It is sad to see many large SUVs and vans with only one person on it.  The first solution is to carpool.  If you carpooled everyday, you would save a gas and would spare the air.  Another tip is taking public transportation such as the city train or bus.  These vehicles really help the environment because they can move a mass amount of people in one trip, splitting the pollution per person ratio lower.  For saving energy, if you like to keep your computer on everyday, you should highly consider turning it off at night or when not in use.  This can greatly lower the amount of CO2 produced from the machine.  Also turn lights off when not in use.  Consider installing solar panels to produce your own electricity, ending the reliance on a third party energy source.  Buy Energy Star approved appliances because those machines or electronics were approved through testing to say that it consumes little energy and is ok to use.  Lastly, recycling your electronics at approved recycle areas because the last thing America wants to see is its rivers or landfills filling up with toxic chemicals.  These are a few easy ways in which you can help improve the environment.

Dubai is Nuts! What the Hell is Going On There!!!?!?!?

February 18th, 2008  |  6,405 views | Published in Cool Stuff

Dubai in 1990 prior to the craziness

The same street in 2003

Last year

The madness. Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world’s cranes.

The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world.

All of this was built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree.

The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.

Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon.

The World Islands. 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world. Each island will have an estimated cost of $25-30 million.

The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai. The worlds tallest hotel. Considered the only ‘7 star’ hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island in the sea.

Hydropolis, the world’s first underwater hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays.

The Burj Dubai. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to be complete by 2008. At an estimated height of over 800 meters, it will easily be world’s tallest building when finished. It will be almost 40% taller than the the current tallest building, the Taipei 101.

This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009. More than 140 stories of the Burj Dubai have already been completed. It is already the worlds tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year.

The Al Burj. This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront. Once completed it will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai.

Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters. That would make it more than 30% taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as the Empire State Building.

 

 

 

This is a city on crack.

 

 

 

 

The Burj al Alam, or The World Tower. Upon completion it will rank as the world’s highest hotel. It is expected to be finished by 2009. At 480 meters it will only be 28 meters shorter than the Taipei 101.

The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah.

Dubailand. Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with 58,000 employees. Dubailand will be twice the size.

Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles^2) at an estimated $20 billion price tag. The site will include a purported 45 mega projects and 200 hundred other smaller projects.

Dubai Sports City. A huge collection of sports arenas located in Dubailand.

Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is the #1 tourist destination in the world. Once fully completed, Dubailand will easily take over that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors daily.

The Dubai Marina is an entirely man made development that will contain over 200 highrise buildings when finished. It will be home to some of the tallest residential structures in the world. The completed first phase of the project is shown. Most of the other high rise buildings will be finished by 2009-2010.

The Dubai Mall will be the largest shopping mall in the world with over 9 million square feet of shopping and around 1000 stores. It will be completed in 2008.

Ski Dubai, which is already open, is the largest indoor skiing facility in the world. This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned.

Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower, which will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina.

The UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way. I’m not joking…

Some other other crazy stuff

  • The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world.

  • The Dubai World Central International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger volume.

  • There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER THERE?

Apple TV Take 2 (Macworld Update) Software v2

February 18th, 2008  |  296 views | Published in Apple, Comprehensive Review

Pros: An iTunes format movie and music player for high-definition televisions, capable of acquiring content on its own from the Internet or accessing a computer’s iTunes library. Supports playback of high-resolution (720p) rented or user-created videos, as well as streamed or synchronized YouTube, music, photo, and podcast content, using a relatively straightforward interface and 802.11b/g/n wireless networking gear. Runs quiet, consumes little space, and includes Apple Remote; works with iTunes software to let you move certain purchased content back and forth from the device. Now functions as an AirTunes client to stream audio content wirelessly from an iTunes-equipped computer, even simultaneously with other AirTunes devices. Available in 40GB or 160GB versions, more reasonably priced than prior models.

Cons: You’ll have to create, convert, or buy compatible content, based on Apple-limited video format support; YouTube, iPod-formatted, and previously purchased iTunes Store videos can look downright bad on larger HDTVs. Does not include video or audio cables of any sort, and may not be compatible with certain TVs that it can physically connect to. Wireless hard disk synchronization can take a very long time to fill over standard wireless connection, such that 802.11n is strongly recommended. Doesn’t connect wirelessly to other Apple TVs or network storage devices, and integrated USB port does not allow connection of useful accessories such as a keyboard or additional storage. Music playback and photo features are acceptable but not mindblowing; could still benefit from simple tweaks. Small glitches and omissions in certain Store, video and audio features detract from overall experience.

How To: Disable Downloading Delay from Filesharing Sites

February 5th, 2008  |  482 views | Published in How To's

megaupload

If you don’t want to wait to get the download link from free upload sites, read on how to bypass the download counters =)

Notes:

  • Please note this may not work on any server, even IF the script supports it.
  • You can’t bypass the hour limit (you need to change your IP each time you have exceeded your bandwidth limit), or the letter typing method.
  • Test succesfully on MegaUpload.com and Easy-share.com

This method only works in firefox. First install the Greasemonkey addon and enable it. To enable the Greasemonkey, after installation, restart Firefox and look in the right (down). Right click on monkey’s head and select enabled.

greasemonkey

Now click on this link and if you have enabled the Greasemonkey, you will see a popup window.

Select install.

nodelay

Now go to download the file you want without any file counter delays.
