HOW TO SEND .EXE FILES VIA MAIL???

There are times where you wanna send some important .exe files such as programs via mail. But you will be annoyed to see the message from gmail or other mail services which goes like this...

xxx.exe IS AN EXECUTABLE FILE. FOR SECURITY REASONS, GMAIL DOES NOT ALLOW YOU 

TO SEND THIS TYPE OF FILE.

Even if you compress the .exe file to .zip or .tar or .gz format and try to mail, gmail scans the file which is zipped to check for its extension and throws the same message. To override this nonsense message and send mails of such types of file, let me tell you a trick. ;-)

The main idea is to change the extension of the file from .exe to some other format say .jpg. To do so, follow the instructions...

1. Go to the place where the file is located.

2. Go to Tools -> Folder options.

3. Switch to View tab. 

4. Uncheck the HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES check box if it is checked and click apply.

5. Now rename the extension of the file to .jpg or .dll or whichever you like. But make sure that the new extension is allowed by the mail service. Now the mail can be sent!!! :-)

6. The recipient must also follow the same procedure to change the format of the received file to .exe and he/she can use the file.

This is one scenario. You can apply the same trick for different purposes. :-) 

Consider the situation where you wanna add your friend's photo in gmail contact which is in .exif or in .raw format. But gmail allows only  the photos of the format JPG, GIF and PNG. In such cases, this trick can be applied. :-)

FLUTTER APP (Control the music player by your hand)

Most of the time, we used to do multitasking with our system. We usually work with word file by referring to the web browser or we may surf or we may play high definition games. In most of these cases, we used to play music in background. (I usually do this!!!). In such case, if we wanna play or pause the music player, we have to minimize the active window or maximize the music player window from taskbar. This becomes more tedious when we play games like GTA, NFS etc... We can't simply pause or terminate our mission for play/pause the music player.

Using input devices to accept our command has started to sense its death :-D The hot research in image processing is to get input from user in the form of action or gesture and perform the desired operation in the system. Microsoft is working on this and 2 years back, Microsoft stated that it is impossible to use the ordinary webcam of the system to receive gesture of the user and make computer do the operation based on the gesture.

What makes this discussion interesting is that this is made possible by a very small company which actually has only 7 employees under it. That was really interesting. They made the webcam to sense our hand gesture to play/pause the music player. 

What you need to do to pause/play the music player is just raise your hand and show the STOP gesture before the webcam.

The pictorial explanation of how this app works is...

They developed an app called FLUTTERAPP to achieve this. Initially they introduced this app for Mac OS. Just 3 weeks back, they unveiled the Windows version of this app. Since this is their 1st initiative, they may extend this idea to get all kinds of inputs in future in this way so that just webcam can serve as an input device by accepting all sort of inputs eliminating the need for separate device for different mode of inputs...
