Apple iPad 3G

It’s no secret by now that Apples’ iOS devices will not play nice with flash and there is no hope for the future. However, with a little help using Javascript, you can play most flash videos that are usually just blank spaces when browsing a site on an iOS device. To do so, just follow the simple steps below and give it a try.

  1. Open up Safari and go to “http://iosflashvideo.fw.hu/” on your iOS device.
  2. Add this page as a bookmark by tapping the “+” button, then by “Add Bookmark” and hit “Save”.
  3. Now go to your bookmarks in Safari and hit the “Edit” button and select “iOSFlashVideo” to edit it.
  4. In the URL area, delete everything before “JavaScript” and hit Done.
  5. Now visit any web page the has a flash video, usually there will be a blank white space on the page, and select “iOSFlashVideo” from your bookmarks.
  6. If everything is done properly, your video should now load and you’ll be enjoying Flash videos without the need to Jailbreak your iOS device.

Windows 7 Box Art

So you bought an upgrade copy of Windows 7 to save money or you got it for $30 with a student account. However, an upgrade is not cutting it for you and a clean install is just the thing you need. While the upgrade disc allows a clean install, you hit a roadblock with activation. At the SuperSite, Paul Thurrott, with the help of Kevin Fisher, has come up with the solution to activate Windows 7.

  1. Ensure there are no Windows Updates pending. To check for this, look for an orange shield icon next to the Shutdown button in the Start Menu. If it’s there, reboot.
  2. Open ‘regedit.exe’ from the Start Menu
  3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/
  4. Change MediaBootInstall from ’1′ to ’0′
  5. Open the Start Menu again and type ‘cmd’ — use ctrl+shift+enter to run it as an administrator
  6. Type: slmgr /rearm – and press enter
  7. Reboot
  8. When Windows 7 reboots, run the Activate Windows utility and activate windows.
