Music track not showing up in Google Talk status?

For those who were busy fighting the aliens while Google Talk added the cool feature to display your currently playing music track in the Google status, please be aware that you can simply do so just by changing the status to “Show current music track”.

Now, it so happened that I eagerly tried the feature when it was launched, but Gtalk did not show the status with Windows Media Player 10, 11 or Winamp on my laptop. I thought maybe Google was sending the update slowly globally, so waited for a week or two, but nothing.

On further research I discovered that Google Talk installs a plug-in in Windows Media Player which sends the current music track to Gtalk. Now if, for any reason, WMP detects some problem with a plug-in, it disables it. This was the problem in my case. So here is what I did to enable my Google Talk plug-in:

1. Ensure that you have the latest Google Talk installed
2. In Windows Media Player, press Alt+T to access the tools menu
3. Press ‘Options’
4. Click on the ‘Plug-ins’ tab
5. On the left hand ‘Category’ pane, click on the ‘Background’ item
6. On the right hand ‘Background’ pane, click on the Google Talk plugin to check and enable it
7. Save changes and change the status in Google Talk to “Show current music track”

This worked for me, hope it helps you too!

Oh and by the way, Google’s fascination with collecting information in order to show us meaningful results found its way in GTalk too. Google has a service called Google Trends. If you wish, then Google can log what you listen too, and hence show meaningful trends such as the current most popular song etc. I have opted in :)

Happy chitter chatting!

books for Dummies!!!!

I was in the Books Section once, i saw a pretty girl going over there so i naturally followed, in case you are wondering what i was doing in the BOOKS section.
Although i let go of the girl (read her boyfriend was muscular) there was something that caught my attention. i saw a title "Hacking for Dummies". For a moment there I was amused...this seems like a Joke Book...but it wasn't!!

Then like a dramatic scene from a hollywood flick, the camera went far from me and there were a LOT of books for Dummies!!!!

What particularly scared me was the thought that WHY are we trying to teach Dummies about Nuclear Bombs and Plastic Explosives!!! Doing some research i came to know the books were a big hit, especially in US and Canada!

Thats the good thing about China. They would never admit that they are Dumb. For most of the times they actually are NOT.

Pakistan went on a war with India. While India lacked in artillary capability, pakistanis were not able to fire any too. The manuals were all in Chinese!!

Anyway, the Books that caught my attention were -

Skydiving for Dummies -
Step one - Jumping from an airplane
Step two - Opening your parachute.....wait a minute.....Para who???
Thats the key of writing Dummies book....you just cant assume ANYTHING!!!

They even had a Dummies guide to Dummies guide!!! how Dumb!!
