How to Makes Private and Disappearing Chatrooms in 5 Seconds
There is no dearth of instant messaging applications these days and people are addicted to Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, SnapChat, IM on Twitter, Hangouts and other apps for communicating to each other every moment. Recently, Facebook announced that now you don’t even need a Facebook account to use Messenger. But if you want to create your own DOS style chatroom right from your web browser that destroys itself when chat’s over, Hack.chat is the just the right thing for you.
When you use Hack.chat, there’s nothing to worry about privacy breach or sign-ins. Creating a chat room is dead simple and it could be disposed at any point after the completion of chat. I call it disposable as it doesn’t keep record of all unappropriated and private message you’ve ever sent.
How to create instant disposable chatrooms with Hack.chat?
Creating a private chatroom in Hack.chat is dead simple. All you need to do is go to the website URL and add ? and the name of your chatroom. This would make the URL looks like this: https://hack.chat/?private-chat and make a personal chat room with name “random-channel.”
After creating that URL, you can send this to anyone and start chatting in moments. Because the channel you created is private and its name or information isn’t stored anywhere, no random person can appear in your Hack.chat.
Hack.chat has also provided some pre-existing channels to try out. Just head to the home page, click on any of them and add your name to start.

How to See Facebook Hidden Friends
A week ago, a new Chrome extension came into the limelight and it claims to reveal the hidden friends list to your friends. I tried out this tool myself and the “Only Me” option to keep your friends list hidden from the world doesn’t work anymore.
How to use Facebook Friends Mapper extension for Chrome?
Step 1:
To see any friend’s hidden friends list, you need to download and install the Facebook Friend Mapper extension.
Step 2:
Now go to your friend’s profile whom you are wishing to see the hidden friends list. You will be seeing a new (Reveal Friends) option in the friends tab.
Step 3:
Click on the Reveal Friends option and you will be able to see all the friends whether they are your mutual friends or not.
Note: However to use this Facebook Friends Mapper Chrome extension, you must have one mutual friend with the target. It doesn’t matter of you are Facebook friends with that person or not.
Warning: These kinds of extension are not good for your web browser, I just installed them in order to make the tutorial and write about this flaw. So I won’t recommend you to use this on a permanent basis.

Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8.1 users
Microsoft's Windows 10 event is just getting started, and it sounds like the company is eager to make it as easy and cheap as possible for those running older versions of Windows to upgrade. Terry Myerson just announced on stage that, for the first year after Windows 10 launches, any device running Windows 7, Windows 8.1, or Windows Phone 8.1 will be able to upgrade to the latest version of MIcrosoft's OS — for free. How exactly this program will work isn't clear just yet — it'll certainly be subject to some hardware requirements, particularly for older machines running Windows 7. But a simplified upgrade path will likely do a lot to help Windows 10 adoption — rather than dealing with a number of different versions of Windows and different upgrade costs, most consumers will simply take this free update and enjoy running Microsoft's latest.
