DOWNLOAD COMPLETE MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5 SETUP
Many new Windows applications requires latest version of Microsoft .NET framework which is version 3.5 at the time of of writing of this post.
If you go to Microsoft download center, then by default you will get live installer of approximately 2-3 MB’s while complete .NET framework requires 50-200 MB. Actually on the same page there are links to complete setup but they are placed in a way that anyone can hardly notice them. Seems like Microsoft wants you to download live installer but there are problems with live installer…
- It may hang forever if you have slow internet connection like dial-up, GPRS, etc.
- You can not use it at all if your computer is not connected to internet
- Also if you are running pirated Windows better not to use any software/installer from Microsoft which connects to Internet.
Here I am giving you links to complete Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 & 3.5 setups which are gathered from Microsoft pages (links: v3.5 & v3.0)
# Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Setup
- 32bit version (size:-200mb)(Recommended)
# Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Setup
- 32bit version(size:-50mb)
- 64bit version(size:-90mb)
Do not worry about authenticity of above links as they are from Microsoft’s server!

VLC media player for Android
VLC media player for Android beta is now
available for download
Naturally being in beta, the app might be unstable at times, although most of the early
feedback is positive.Mind you, it’ll run only on devices with an ARMv7 processor,
which supports the NEON engine. The player comes with a nice widget that allows you to
play, pause and stop any music track you might be playing with it.At this stage all but the
cheapest Droids have a qualifying CPU,but if yours isn’t on the list you’d be glad to know that
an ARMv6-loving
version is also in the works. There’s also going to be a tablet-friendly
release of the VLC player for Android. Follow the source link below to get the VLC player beta
and don’t forget to share your first impressions on it with the rest
of us in the comments section below.

Try these notepad tricks yourself to know the results.
On a serious note, none of the flight that attacked World Trade Center had the flight number Q33N. It is just a rumor which became popular due to its peculiar nature. Moreover, did you notice some similarity in trick 2 and 3? Yes, you figured it out correctly, both of the statements have the word length pattern of 4,3,3,5 which seems to cause the bug. It is not that Microsoft is that much 'worried' about their reputation or the U.S. President have absolute control over Microsoft.
Note: The last two tricks work on all versions of Windows but these tricks are computer specific and might or might not work on some systems running later versions of Windows after XP.
