Access blocked sites by ISP's

Some time back some Indian service providers such as Airtel blocked some sites like thepiratebay.se claiming that their action was based on court orders.
Message showning that thepiratebay.se has been blocked on the basis of court orders
Message shown when tried accessing thepiratebay.se
There is a workaround existing to access these 'blocked' sites. All you have to do is to enter the address as https://thepiratebay.se rather than http://the piratebay.se , i.e. access the SSL version of the site.
Thepiratebay accessible after using https://thepiratebay.se
Thepiratebay accessible after using https://thepiratebay.se

This is applicable for other sites as well.

Enjoy!!!

Post Blank Status on Facebook

Today I found this amazing trick by which you can update your status to blank as shown in the picture.

Status Update without any content


 Recently, facebook added a new feature by which you can tag people, posts, pages and groups using their unique id or username. For example, if the page has a username funstartshereblog you can tag the page simply by adding @[funstartshereblog:0] as a part of your status.

Now Facebook has not registered anyone with id = 0, so if you post @[0:0], facebook will consider that your post has content but when posted there will be no content in your post and your status will be blank. Please note that this trick does not work while commenting.
