Take care while reading E-Mail

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:54:00 +0000

Delete any e-mail message from an unknown source if it contains an attachment. The majority of malware contracted through e-mail comes in the form of attachments that the sender tries to get the recipient to open.

Just say no. The large majority of viruses are contracted from unsolicited e-mail, so use an e-mail application with a built-in spam checker, if at all possible. Sometimes viruses are carried in Word documents from friends or colleagues who are not aware that the files are protected.

In such cases, without an onboard antivirus tool, it makes sense to run the file through one of the free online scanners mentioned earlier. Do this before you open the file.

The payoff for all of this caution should be well-known to anyone who has watched with chagrin as an otherwise speedy and trouble-free computer was made to feel like yesterday's technology after the latest bloated antivirus software was installed. Less really is more, if you can get away with it. And for those intrepid computer users with a survival plan, doing without antivirus protection can be a giant step in the right direction.

Creating a bootable USB from an iso

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:32:00 +0000

Install the .iso contents non-destructively onto a USB partition. Leave out all the partitioning or formating stuff to prepare an existing and used USB drive for DSL booting:
Note: All path names are examples! Please adapt or you may corrupt existing partitions or files.

Mount USB drive, with e.g. mount /dev/sdx1 /flash – can be either FAT16 or FAT32!
Mount ISO image, with e.g. mount /tmp/dsl-3.2.iso /tmp/iso -o loop
Copy all contents from ISO to USB drive: cp -vr /tmp/iso/* /flash/
Rename and move syslinux files to root directory: mv /flash/boot/isolinux/* /flash/
Rename isolinux.cfg: mv /flash/isolinux.cfg /flash/syslinux.cfg
Unmount USB drive: umount /flash
Install syslinux: syslinux /dev/sdx1 and eventually set the MBR boot flag for this partition (with fdisk).

How to remove password from a PDF file

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:01:00 +0000

Pdf is one of the most common text formats online. From Ebooks to codes all the available.
Reason it’s easy to prevent privacy since once you password protect it no one can copy it.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is an open standard for document exchange. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents. Today, 3D drawings can be embedded in PDF documents with Acrobat 3D using U3D or PRC and various other data formats.

Just use any of these fully legal software to do it.None of these are free so if you want full version just do torrent(p2p) download. Let me warn you that cracking open these files is considered illegal so don’t do them unless you have by mistakenly locked your own file.

Real Media Player, The new era of Music!

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 14:58:00 +0000

Ten years ago, the Web was full of static content. The 1995 debut of RealPlayer changed all that. Streaming audio and video in a free media player was a bold step forward into making the Internet a viable entertainment platform, and RealNetworks was there. Today the software plays almost every media format, and the online music store sells tunes compatible with most MP3 players--even the iPod. RealPlayer hasn't always been at the head of the class, but it was there first, and it keeps adapting to the developing world of online media.

Internet Explorer 9 vs Google Chrome 6.0

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 14:38:00 +0000

IE9 annihilated Chrome. However, while it does sound great, author failed to mention that Google Chrome 6 does not really support hardware acceleration (still in early development stage). Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a big surprise!

Some tests prove that Opera is substantially faster that Chrome or Firefox.

Upcoming Firefox 3.7 & 4.0 build (that supports hardware acceleration) was also tested and it was able to keep up with IE9.

Shift To 3G Or Not 3G?

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 13:34:00 +0000

The other common belief is that 3G will spur the mobile internet revolution which will go a long way in bringing inclusive growth to underdeveloped areas. Just one problem there, underdeveloped regions have to equipped with the 3G capable network infrastructure for there to be any revolution. And our telecom policy is not one based on ‘Network Neutrality’ this job is largely down to the operators. But many expect them to go slow on this front until they recover some of the costs they have already incurred. Besides, how many users in rural/underdeveloped areas are likely to take to high end 3G services. Of course, throw in the fact that there is likely to be more room in 2G spectrum once 3G is rolled out. These areas could be the bottom of pyramid that telcos will keep an eye on. Until they see growth, they cannot afford high end 3G services, while others say that high end connectivity is vital to their growth. Quite a chicken and egg situation!

The answer is obvious – To 3G. We’re 4 years off track already. But will it really deliver all that it promises? Unfortunately, because we’ve been waiting for so long. We’re looking at 3G as an end. 3G/high speed connectivity is just a means to an end! The sooner we realize that and start putting together the remaining pieces in the puzzle of India’s Growth Story – the sooner we’ll get there.

Google Profiles Gets A Facelift, Is Google +1 Coming Soon? What's up?

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 12:52:00 +0000

After the revamp of Orkut, Google has turned its attention to its centralised Profiles feature. Google Profiles was launched in 2007 and allows Gmail users to establish their own public online profile with pictures and information about them. Don’t be surprised if you haven’t heard of them as most people haven’t. It wasn’t before April 2009 that users found these profiles of some use other than being an appendix of their Google Accounts — Google Profiles started showing up as search results. Soon the term, “Google me” became a reality. Google Profiles was also an important entity of Social Search which Google announced in October 2009. Recently, after Social Search got upgraded, the prominence of Profiles increased, yet there was something missing — Google Profiles looked hideous.

But, the fact that Google is making its profiles like Facebook is not major news. Most social networks are doing that, as users spend most time on Facebook and are comfortable using that design. The major news of out this announcement is Google +1, Google’s ultimate attempt social networking, is rearing to come soon.

Google +1, on its own, would be an answer to Facebook’s dominance. It is expected to have large scale video conferencing within Loops. Loops are expected to be the groups which a user is a part of in Google +1. Skype and others have made video conferencing a day to day affair but Google +1 is expected to take this to a whole new level by allowing dozens of users to join the conference. Although these are just speculations, the fact that Google is upgrading the “look and feel” of its social products makes me feel that something is coming.

Things to Remember - Buying a Java Mobile Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Its a helpful guide if your planning to buy a Java Mobile Phone. Java mobile phones are mostly used and popular in India and rest of the world. The reason is they’re cheap than other platforms like Symbian, Windows Mobile and easy to use and almost virus free. At the same time they offer all the necessary functionality to a general user. You can play music, video and games; use camera; gprs for net; offers large storage in GBs and you also install external Java applications like internet browsers or games. And all other basic operations like calender, alarm etc.
The Java OS mobiles you can got very advanced java phone which offers advanced features like 3G and touch screen. The general mobile user has always loved the versatility of what was once upon a time called the Chinese Mobile. They offered a few things that not even the biggest players in the game could, like Dual SIM functionality and touchscreen displays on normal candy-bar handsets at obscenely low prices. These handsets have now been refined to an extent and re-emerged under brands that keep cropping up almost on a weekly basis, I wish I were exaggerating about that. Considering their vast numbers, shapes and sizes, here are five generic points to keep in mind if you’re in the market for one of these java mobiles.

1. The Keypad of Phone:
Since the messaging and Social Networking site are very popular these days and than keypad is very important part of a phone. It’s really important to keep in mind that even though these handsets come in somewhat varied shapes, the core design is essentially the bar form. A very important factor to take into account before purchase is the keypad. With texting and social networking taking precedence over other handset features, it’s vital for the keypad to be comfortable for prolonged usage. Irrespective of whether it’s QWERTY, standard alphanumeric, or virtual (in touchscreen handsets) it must be well designed enough to facilitate easy as well as quick typing.

2. The Connectivity Ports:
These day ports a are very matter in a phone when it enable you to connect phone to PC for easy file transfer or 3.5mm music socket. It limits the availability of using alternative standardized cables or chargers. Look for mini or micro USB connectors for PC connectivity. It’s also a problem when manufacturers include just a single all-in-one port for charging, USB and handsfree connectivity. You should also bear in mind that a 3.5mm handsfree socket implies you’re free to use a better set of earphones if you desire and of course that also makes getting replacement’s easy.

3. User Interface (UI) must be User-Friendly:
User interface is a very important part of a phone. Even there’s nothing much you can do about the operating system as it’s pretty much identical across the bar. However each company tends to design a user interface over this Java OS to try and make the handset a little more appealing. You’ll have to look past the fancy colors and icons to figure out just how easy it is to use on a regular basis. It’s usually just the desktops and music player skins that are customized. Some of the touchscreen devices provide for access to plenty of functions directly from the desktop making some features single click access.

4. GPRS, Connectivity, Social Networking and Email:
In the era of SNS (social networking sites), you can’t expect too much in the way of connectivity with most of these budget handsets but still many low cost mobiles offer easy connectivity with SNSs. As a standard most of them support basic WAP for internet and some offer GPRS support. When it comes to Bluetooth connectivity, quite a wide range support A2DP or stereo Bluetooth. With social networking being so popular these days look for apps like Nimbuzz or dedicated Facebook, Twitter or Orkut apps that come preloaded with many devices. Some devices also come with additional IM Chat applications as well. Quite a few (not all) of these handsets that support GPRS will come with IMAP and POP email support.
To know about using internet in phone by downloading a third party browser visit here:Mobile Internet Browsing Guide. For downloading free application for your mobile visit here: Free Mobile Applications.

5. The Multimedia Features:
Multimedia is definitely a great feature and available in good quality even in lower range mobiles. In this category one should look for a music player that preferably comes with EQ presets to help enhance audio. An even better option would be to have a customizable graphic EQ setting as well. In a majority of cases, handsets with this particular feature have fared much better in terms of total audio output. The FM radio should have a recording option and the video player should be capable of playing standard 3GP and MPEG 4 files in a 320 x 240 pixel resolution without framing. That’s hard to find but the handsets that do support that are worth considering. Don’t worry too much about the camera, most of these 2MP, 1.3MP or VGA cameras aren’t all that great but most are provisioned to be used as a Webcam when connected via USB to your PC so look for that feature.
If you keep all above points in mind when going for low budget mobile phone, you should end up with one that will fulfil all your needs from listening music to updating your SNS status. The price may be differ accordingly the feature and brand you go for, but to get the best out of even that low a price look for the ones that offer additional accessories like extra batteries, a memory card etc.

noreply@blogger.com (Satvik) — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 03:52:00 +0000

Nokia finally revealed its strategy, by joining hand with Microsoft. Now Nokia will use Windows Phone, as the primary operating system for its Smartphone; but that doesn’t mean that Nokia will stop the production for its home made OS, Symbian and Linux based OS, Meego.

Till now, Nokia has managed to sell more than 150 million Symbian devices in the coming year. Nokia, also said that it will launch Meego based Smartphone very soon in the market. In the meantime, Nokia is also planning to manufacture Windows and Meego based Tablets.
The deal made between Microsoft and Nokia includes following points:

Nokia would adopt Windows Phone as its principal Smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader.
Nokia would help drive the future of Windows Phone. Nokia would contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.
Nokia and Microsoft would closely collaborate on joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products.
Bing would power Nokia’s search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing’s next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter would provide search advertising services on Nokia’s line of devices and services.
Nokia Maps would be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience
Microsoft development tools would be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones, allowing developers to easily leverage the ecosystem’s global reach.
Nokia’s content and application store would be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience.

“Today, developers, operators and consumers want compelling mobile products, which include not only the device, but the software, services, applications and customer support that make a great experience,” Stephen Elop, Nokia President and CEO, said at a joint news conference in London. “Nokia and Microsoft will combine our strengths to deliver an ecosystem with unrivalled global reach and scale. It’s now a three-horse race.”
“I am excited about this partnership with Nokia,” said Steven A. Ballmer, Microsoft CEO. “Ecosystems thrive when fueled by speed, innovation and scale. The partnership announced today provides incredible scale, vast expertise in hardware and software innovation and a proven ability to execute.”
Nokia also announced services called extensive operator billing agreements, which will allow consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Service phone services in countries where credit card use is very low.
