Folder in Folder on iOS 5

NOTE: This is a trick and does not actually allow you to have folders in folders.


Newsstand can be considered a folder, so using this trick, you can put newsstand in a folder

In order to create the look of folder in folders, you will have to go through a very simple process.

  1. Make sure you have an iDevice running iOS 5.0 or higher (not tried on iOS 4 devices or lower)
  2. Have a folder that you would like to put inside another folder
  3. Have two other apps and create a folder with them
  4. As soon as you let go of the two apps to make the folder, quickly hold down on the folder that you want to place inside the newly created folder
  5. It might take a few tries
  6. Now press home
VERY IMPORTANT: If you now try to click on the folder inside a folder your device will reboot, to remove the folder from the folder simply treat it like an app and remove it from the folder and you will be good to go.

Below is a screenshot:


This was done using an iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 5.0.1 official

Fun Trick on Microsoft Word

This is a fun trick to show off to your friends, it will insert sample text to your document. You will simply have to type in an easy code in your document and hit enter for this to work.

If you are on Word 2007 or Word 2010:
You can insert sample text through =rand( ), =rand.old(), or =lorem( )
If you are on Word 2003:
You can insert sample text through =rand( )


In between the parentheses, you must specify how much sample text you want. To do this, simply type how many paragraphs you want first then type a comma followed by how many lines you would like in the paragraph. For example, if I want to have 5 paragraphs and 4 lines in each paragraph, I could type:
=rand(5,4)

Weebly?

Weebly is a free drag and drop editor you can use to create websites without any HTML knowledge. It is quite easy to use. It is also very safe. To transfer to your domain or other hosting while still using Weebly is also very easy. However, the only disadvantage is that there are some features that are for Pro Members only but you can get Pro by either paying, or by referring friends to use Weebly.
