System Requirements:

It's a flash game. So it will work with any running version of Windows. Whether you're using Windows 98, XP or 10 it doesn't matter.

  5. Hit on the new button to start playing.
  6. Move your bat through mouse and defend the computer.


Instruction

This game is really challenging and attractive as well. You must practice properly to beat the computer. And you should also follow the basic rules below:
  • Hit the ball by the right side of the bat to shot on the right.
  • Hit the ball by the left side of the bat to shot on the left.
  • Be patient, don't be hurry. Or you will lose points frequently.

How difficult it is?

Without sufficient practice, this game is quite difficult. I've been able to defeat the computer in easy and medium level. In hard level, I haven't got a single victory yet. But I'm trying hard. 

Look at my winning proof -

It was medium level difficulty. And in order to win, I had to score 22. Because when I was at 21, the computer was at 20. But according to rules, the winning side has to score 2 points more. That's why I had to score 22 to get the victory. 


Hope all of you will enjoy playing this game. Why do you late?? Download the game now and start playing . . .

Open Programs through Keyboard Shortcuts


Create Keyboard Shortcuts for Programs


To start a program quickly, you can create your own keyboard shortcut. After creating keyboard shortcut for a program, you just need to press the button/buttons to open that program. And it will open immediately. 


Applies to:

This trick applies to all running versions of Windows Operating System.


Precondition

To apply this trick, your desired program must have a shortcut on your Desktop. If that program have no shortcut icon on desktop then you must create one. 


To Create a Shortcut on Desktop - 
  1. Go to the folder that contains the program you want to create keyboard shortcut for. 
  2. Find the executable file for example - Photoshop.exe or any other program file. 
  3. Right click on it.
  4. Choose Send to > Desktop (Create Shortcut).
  5. Now the desktop shortcut for that program will be created. 


Creating Keyboard Shortcut

Now you're almost done. For better understanding, I'm using Photoshop as example. Complete the following steps only:
  1. Go to the Desktop (Windows + D). 
  2. Right click on Photoshop.exe - Shortcut and choose Properties.
  3. Move to the Shortcut tab.
  4. Click on the Shortcut key box.
  5. Enter your shortcut key in the box > Hit Apply > OK > Done!

How to Create Keyboard Shortcuts to Open a Program


Once the keyboard shortcut is created for a program, you just need to press that shortcut to run that program. To remove the shortcut key, follow the steps again, go to the shortcut box, hit on the Backspace key to clear it.


Note: If you press any letter, number or symbol in the shortcut box, it will automatically start with Ctrl + Alt + (Your Letter or Number). For example - Ctrl+Alt+P will open Adobe Photoshop.



Remember:
  • It works with programs/ applications only (Not with any other file or document).
  • Function Keys (F1 - F12) can be used as single shortcut key. They don't need to be used with Ctrl+Alt.
  • These keys can't be used as shortcuts - Esc, Enter, Tab, Spacebar, Shift, PrtScn, Backspace.
  • You must also check whether your shortcut doesn't affect the shortcut for other programs. 

Hopefully you will enjoy this trick. If you face any problem, then share with us . . .

Payoneer Support Center is Really Helpful . . .




Payoneer Customer Care


Every time when I need any help regarding my Payoneer account, I take the help of support center. And it's really helpful. When I request something, the support team try their best to do this. Today I would like to share my experience with you. After reading this post, you will understand how supportive the Payoneer team is. 



Available Support Options



You must have an account in Payoneer to get supports. And you must be signed in there. Live chat and phone call may not be active always. You will get the proper contact time in the support page.



Case 1: $65 has been Stolen from My Card (Recovered)!


For the first time, I met Payoneer Support Center when I lost $60 from my prepaid master card. In that time, I've little experience. I was not conscious about security measures. Actually it was my mistake. 


I just wrote a review on Payoneer Master Card and made the funniest mistake of my life. As specimen, I scanned my card and used it in my post. It was clearly showing my card number and expiry date! And the culprit (Sorry to mention that, maybe he is my blog reader) was so clever. Probably he understood that it is the picture of an active card. Though it was empty that time. 


I've no idea that in case of online transaction, PIN is not required. Only card number and expiry date is enough to pay the bills. When my card was loaded, I've lost $60 (30 + 30). In that time, I didn't understand what is this! Later I've lost $5 more. Then I've realized the fact. Someone has clarified me the issue and advised to contact Payoneer.


Recovering the money!

As advised, I've contacted the Payoneer Support Team through Live Chat. I've clarified the fact to them and requested to block the card immediately. They suggest me to file a case reporting the issue through proper form. They also informed that I can't apply for an amount which is less than $20. So I just applied for $60. And within few weeks, they returned me the money in my card!

I was just surprised! How did they manage it?!




Case 2: Two Replacement Cards (One Blocked)


After blocking the first one, I applied for a replacement card. Don't know why it was taking more than 4 weeks. I thought, something was wrong that's why the card may not reach my post office. Then I applied for another card.


Just two days after applying for the second replacement card, the first one reached my post office. And by this time, it was blocked by Payoneer support team for issuing me the second one! What should I do now?


Again I took help from support team. I've told them details. Then they unblocked the first replacement card and blocked the second one.


And I just had to pay the replacement fee for one card - $12.95.   




Case 3: Money Sent to the Wrong Person (Recovered)!!!

Believe it or not, only few days ago, 360 Advertisement, paid me $214 via Payoneer. Unfortunately I didn't get the money. Know why? Because the sender (+Anzaq ali)  sent the money to the wrong person. In the list, he just selected the wrong account. And $214 went to the wrong person who was not supposed to get a single dollar!


When I informed Anzaq Ali that I haven't got the money yet, then he checked and found that the money has been sent to the wrong person. Immediately he contacted the Payoneer Support Team. Anzaq Ali also requested that person to send the money back but he denied. 


I must say, Anzaq is lucky enough. The person who got the money by mistake, he made another mistake. He didn't withdraw the money thinking that it's now in my account - nobody can take it back. 


But Payoneer has returned the money to Anzaq within 2/3 days! 


What can I say more? I'm really satisfied with their service. If you have anything to share about Payoneer, just leave a message in the comment box . . .

Google Talk is Terminated . . .




As declared earlier, finally, Google Talk has been terminated by Google. It's no longer supported on Windows. Google is trying to force the users to use its Hangouts app. But I've found no logical reason behind shutting down this lovely app!


In last November, I published a post - Google Talk is Gonna be Shut Down. Google said it will stop working within few months. Couple of weeks ago, I just signed in to Google Talk and got the following message - 



I was just waiting to see the end of Google Talk on February 16, 2015. But even after February 16, Google Talk was working fine. From another source, I came to know that it will be stopped on February 23. But it was working after February 23. 

At that point, I thought, Google Talk will be working in this way. Finally, on February 26, when I was trying to sign in to Google Talk, it shows - 


Username or password is incorrect. 

Though I was sure about username and password, I entered them again. Still it was showing the same error. Then I signed in to Gmail and got a message from Google - 


Hi Abdur,
We noticed that you recently tried using the Google Talk app for Windows. We wanted to let you know that this was discontinued on 23 February 2015. We recommend giving Hangouts a try so that you can chat with all of your Google contacts. Hangouts supports people’s favourite features from Google Talk, including text chat, presence, contact lists and status messages. In addition, Hangouts lets you have group video chats, make phone calls, express yourself with emojis and keep your conversations going across AndroidiOS and your computer.
If messaging right from your desktop is important to you, try the Hangouts Chrome app or Hangouts in Gmail. If you’re not ready to make the switch to Hangouts quite yet, you can continue using Google Talk on Windows with a range of compatible third-party chat apps. (Please bear in mind that these aren’t Google products, so exercise caution when signing in with your Google account.)
As a loyal Google Talk user, we thank you for your support and we hope that you give us the opportunity to provide an even better communications experience with Google Hangouts.
If this sign-in attempt was not made by you, please check details on your Devices and Activity page 

Check details 
Sincerely, The Google Talk and Hangouts team

I think many other Google Talk users have got the same message from Google. But don't know how many of them are real user of it. In most cases, I used to contact my friends, visitors, classmates and other people through Google Talk. But now I have to keep my Gmail window open to chat with them. 



What to Say about Hangouts . . . 










My experience with Hangouts is not good at all. In my 150 kbps connection speed, I had never been able to connect Hangouts through Chrome. It needs at least 300 kbps speed to connect to the service! 


But I have to say that Hangouts looks better than Google Talk. Google Talk was simply an instant messaging service. It was simply 1 MB in size with very simple messaging options. But with hangout, you can do lots of things. 


You can share photos and emoticons in Hangouts, make audio and video calls etc. You can also draw something there. But it doesn't allow to share files like Google Talk.  




Maybe Google wants the users to communicate through single app - Hangouts. That's why Google has finally turned off Google Talk through a long process . . .
