How to get a free EDU email address

2. Create a new identity and copy the information down somewhere.

4. Next, check the box that says "I am a new student and have never attended any Maricopa Community College or Skill Centers.". Enter the validation code and press "Next".
5. 
   
6. From the name generator, enter in the SSN, name, and other information, and click "Next".
7. Click "Ok" if all the information is how you want.
8. Again, you will have to enter all of the required information in from the name generator. At the bottom of the page, you will have to enter a current email address and a password for your new account.
9. Now, you will have to enter a secutity question. Then, click next.
10. After you have done that, you will see a screen with information on it. THIS IS IMPORTANT. COPY YOUR MEID AND YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS DOWN.
11. Now, to log in, you will have to go here to log in,, enter your MEID and password, and you can log in and use your new EDU email account!

Get Netflix on a modded PlayStation 2

UPDATE: As of March 2012, Netflix has discontinued Netflix For PS2, so this will not work anymore.

Netflix, the standard in streaming video, has set up console streaming from everything from Blu-ray to the Xbox, but there is still no support for the PS2, until now. In order to do this, you must have a modded PS2, either with FreeMcBoot or a modchip. I will show you with FMCB.

NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE A WORKING NETWORK ADAPTER.

1. First, you need to download the iso. You can get it here.

2. Insert your USB drive into your computer. It must be at least 2 GB.  You may need to format your drive to have enough space. Formatting will delete all data on the drive. THE DRIVE MUST BE FAT32 file system.

3. Open your flash drive and create two folders in it, one called "DVD", and one called "CD". These must be all caps. Open the RAR file you downloaded earlier and extract it to the DVD folder on your flash drive. You can use WinRAR, or the free 7-zip.

4. Open My Computer and navigate to your flash drive. Right click on the .iso file, click rename, and rename it to "SLUS_219.49.Netflix.iso". For more information about naming games, see this page.

5. If you do not already have OPL, you will have to get it. Download it here, then extract the zip file onto the root of your flash drive.

6. Unplug the flash drive from your computer, and connect it to your PS2 using one of the USB ports on the front of your console.

7. Turn on your console with your FMCB memory card in one of the two slots. See my other posts if you dont have a FMCB mc.

8. Scroll down to uLaunchELF.

9. Press O for the file system, and then use the arrow keys to navigate to "mass:" then press O again.

10. Scroll down until you see OPNPS2LD.ELF and press O to open it.

11. You should now see the OPL screen. If this is the first time you have run OPL, then you will have to set up the settings. To do this, highlight settings,and press X.

12. Scroll to highlight "USB", press X, then use the up and down arrows to where it shows Auto.

13. Press triangle to exit, then scroll to "Save changes", then press X.

14. Once it has saved, press O to return to the settings menu, and press Start to go to the USB menu. If all goes well, you should Netflix as one of the game choices. Before you start the game, you will have to enable mode 3 for sound.

15. To do this, press triangle for game settings, and scroll to mode 3. Press X, and make sure it says "Mode 3: ON".

16. Scroll to save changes, then press X to save. Once done, you can press X to start Netflix!


If it works, you should see colorful colors, then Netflix loading, then it should ask you for your Netflix account. If you can to that, than you are good!

Troubleshooting:
If you are stuck at Netflix infinately loading, you can try two things.
 One, your memory card in slot one is full or not inserted.
Two, you may need to set up network settings. See this OPL Page for info.

How To Get Pattern Unlock on the Kindle Fire With Root

 This will allow you to get a custom lock screen, the GoLocker, onto the kindle fire and working so that you can have pattern unlock and different themes. Here is how you do this: Note that you must have root.

1. Download NoLock
2. Disable stock lock screen security
3. Using Es File Explorer or root explorer, copy org.jraf.android.nolock.apk from /data/app/ to /system/app/.
4. Restart
5. Install Go Launcher from the market.
6. Open Go Launcher, then go to menu - preferences - visual settings - go locker - then select go locker enabled.
7. Configure go locker security under security lock
8. Use go launcher and open No Lock, then click the big disable button.

Another way to install no lock is to use titanium backup and change no lock to system app.

The problem with that is, on restart, there is no notification or menu bar. To work around this:

1. Install SwipePad from the market
2. configure one of swipepads slots for no lock
3. On reboot, drag swipepads hotspot to the center, select no lock, then enable and disable locking.

Hope it helps!

Buy a PS2 Memory Card modded with Free McBoot

Earlier, I did a post about how you can mod your PS2 using the game swap trick. Some people (like myself) dont want to go to all of that trouble (like I dont have a dvd burner).

Here at a cool site called The ISO Zone, they have lots of cool tricks, things like netflix and emulators, for you to download for your XBox, PS2, whatever. Here at their marketplace,  a seller called VGA is selling pre-modded official PS2 memory card with a cool guide and software for only $15! It ships to your house in 2-3 days (besides me, because I ordered on a Saturday, and Lucky Me, the USPS doesnt work on Sunday.) It truly is a good value.

You can purchase this from The ISO Zone here.

NOTE: As someone commented below, there is another site that sells these for £12.95. You can find this here.

UPDATE: Version 2 kits are now shipping. These new kits include: More Tutorials, More Tools on the Apps CD, and a Free PS2 Game!
