Micosoft Windows 8 Release Preview and Functionality

2012-06-01T00:39:00.002-07:00

Microsoft has lunched Next generation window software.final test of this version has been tested.Window ads window live department chairmen Steven Sinofsky said we are very happy to lunch of window 8

Window -8 software you can download from preview.window.com in 14 language . Last week in south korea Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said windows-8 series is less with cloud computing services. this operation system best as compare to previous version.

Windows users are one step closer to getting a major system facelift — and if today’s release of Microsoft’s latest OS build tells us anything, it’s that the company is putting the system’s strongest focus on home-grown software.

We’ve already spent a lot of quality time with Microsoft’s Windows 8 “Consumer Preview”, which was released last February, but today the company made its near-final Windows 8 “Release Preview” available to the public.

The Release Preview comes a bit earlier than originally announced, but there’s no shortage of new and improved features, most of which focus on lean-and-mean Metro apps. Just don’t expect anything astonishingly different in terms of system architecture, as the majority of changes in this latest Windows 8 iteration center around software additions and performance improvements.

While this is the last public preview before Windows 8′s final release (anticipated to arrive in October), that doesn’t mean the new build is completely bug-free. I’ve spent the last day and a half with the Release Preview — more technically termed build 8400 — on a Samsung Series 9 ultrabook provided by Microsoft. The new build works a lot smoother than the Consumer Preview, and there’s much to look forward to. But the Windows 8 team also has quite a bit of work ahead of it.

It’s All About the Apps

In our hands-on of Microsoft’s Consumer Preview, we declared that your familiar Windows desktop is all but dead. In the changes we’ve seen in the Release Preview, this still holds true. Microsoft is focused on improving and deepening the Metro experience, where the desktop is only a portion — or even an afterthought, for some users — of a larger, app-based system.

Right on the Start screen, you’ll see the new build’s most noticeable updates: Three new apps — Sports, Travel and News — are pinned directly on the screen, and come built into the OS. Each of the apps implements great Metro design, but caters to a very specific purpose that might not appeal to every user. Still, they’re all slick and highlight how much Microsoft wants its PC experience to more closely resemble an app-based mobile experience.

The News app aggregates the latest news stories in a way that’s reminiscent of Flipboard or Zite. But according to Jensen Harris, Director of Program Management for the Windows User Experience, it goes much deeper than that. A “Trends” section will show news stories that are trending across the Internet, a feature that’s powered by Microsoft’s Bing engine.

Because Bing has agreements with Twitter and Facebook — the world’s two biggest news-sharing social networks — the News app can pull what people are sharing across search, Facebook and Twitter, and present more accurate results for trending content. There’s also a “My News” section, where you can choose to pull news on very specific topics, such as ultrabooks or The Bachelorette.

“It’s different than a Zite or a Flipboard, where you’re getting a few articles that are being editorially put there, or put there by a small group of users,” Harris told Wired. “You have to look across the entire social graph to build this.”

The new Sports app is a dedicated hub for the latest news, schedules, and team and player stats. The app comes pre-loaded with information silos for a number of sports leagues, including the MLB, NFL, NBA, and even the NHL and Premier League (the top soccer league in the U.K.). The Travel app provides information on travel destinations, and helps users book hotel rooms and flights, view panoramas from various locales, and read articles on travel topics.

The new apps are very easy, and even fun, to use — at least when they work. Harris made clear that News, Sports and Travel are still in beta. “All of them are in the same state that Mail and Calendar were in the previous version,” he said. This was clearly evident during testing: The News and Travel apps crashed on several occasions until they just conked out, and no longer opened for me.

For Microsoft, however, the apps in their current form are less about functionality, and more about, well, proof-of-concept: “This is just an example of a personalized Metro-style app that’s unlike what you have on any other platform,” Harris said.

Beyond the three new apps, other apps we’ve already seen in the Consumer Preview — such as Mail, Calendar, Photos and Internet Explorer — have received noticeable updates. Mail has a new three-pane view that enables easier navigation when using the OS with two thumbs in tablet mode. Calendar has received improved week and month views. And Photos now works a lot faster, and can tap into information from other apps.

For example, when you’re in the Photos app, you can access images from your local drive as well as other apps you have on your Windows 8 PC. This means SkyDrive, Facebook, Flickr and other connected Windows 8 devices are all direct sources of gallery navigation. And while I wasn’t able to install third-party apps onto our test laptop, I did get to see a demo of how Photos can speak to non-native apps, like Photobucket.

“The cool thing about Windows 8 is the way apps work together to complete scenarios,” Harris said. “I liken this to the way that there was originally the web and then there’s Web 2.0. In the original web, every website was a silo. Then Web 2.0 comes and says, ‘Well, actually, websites can start to talk to one another.’ Windows 8 is the glue that binds any two apps together for a whole bunch of scenarios.”

Harris’ vision is all fine and dandy, but one of the new build’s most significant new features actually arrives via a very familiar app: Internet Explorer for Metro now supports Flash directly. Harris says it’s not a plug-in, but rather a native part of the Internet Explorer engine, and shouldn’t be such a resource hog as a result.

The upshot: You’ll be able to get as much Hulu video as you want on a Windows 8 tablet — even on Windows RT, the ARM-based Windows 8 tablet platform.

“We’ve taken Flash and integrated it into the rendering engine of IE. We’ve done the work to basically make Flash touchable, make it have great battery life, and to take out all of the bad parts of having plug-ins,” Harris said.

Multitasking

Trackpad Multitouch Magic

Ever since Microsoft introduced Windows 8, the conversation has focused on the operating system’s role on touch-based devices — tablets, notebooks and all-in-one PC with touchscreens. But most people’s first experiences with Windows 8 won’t be on new devices. They’ll be migrating from an older version of Windows on conventional, non-touch PCs.

With this in mind, Microsoft loaned us a non-touchscreen notebook so that we could test the new system’s multitouch gestures on a conventional touchpad.

So how did it work? Well, to premise, multitouch navigation is totally wonky in its current state. But Microsoft assures us that once we get the hang of the system’s multitouch trackpad gestures, we’ll always want to use them when a touch-sensitive screen isn’t available. “What we’ve tried to do is take the most important part of touch experience and move it into indirect touch,” Harris said.

On a tablet, you swipe from the right to view Metro’s Charms menu. You swipe left to switch through apps. You pinch for semantic zoom, and swipe in whatever direction you want to scroll through a page or screen. All of the same gestures apply to touchpad navigation, albeit on a smaller physical scale.

During real-world use, the first thing I noticed was the strangeness of reverse scrolling — when you move your fingers up on the trackpad, the page you’re viewing onscreen moves down. It’s an issue that was debated furiously by Mac users when OS X Lion was released. You won’t be able to turn off (or flip) reverse-scrolling in the Release Preview build, so get used to it for now.

Technically, you’re supposed to be able to use two-finger scrolling vertically and horizontally. Horizontal scrolling still needs some work, but again, we weren’t using the system’s final build. Thankfully, the other gestures are working pretty well, even in this beta iteration. When you swipe one finger from right to left, the Charms menu quickly appears. Swipe one finger from left to right, and you’ll quickly cycle through open apps. And pinch-to-zoom works just fine.

As someone who’s come to love Mac OS X’s MultiTouch gestures, the Windows 8 multitouch touchpad experience comes as a welcome addition

Where the Desktop Stands

“The way that we think about the desktop is as this wonderful additional app that you have on your PC,” Harris said. “It’s not something that we shy away from at all. We love the desktop. We think it works really well with Metro. We think it’s a huge part of a complete Windows PC.”

In a nutshell, that says it all. The desktop, as we know it, is dead. Now it functions as an app within Windows 8, just as Mail and News is an app. But, of course, the desktop is Windows’ most powerful app, and in that sense, it has a very meaningful place in Windows 8.

While Windows 7 fans are upset they can’t launch directly into the Windows 8 desktop, Metro supporters are confused about why the desktop remains without full-fledged Metro styling. For what it’s worth, Microsoft did recently announce that it’s ditching translucent window borders on the desktop for more a more flat, Metro look.

But Microsoft isn’t worried about criticism on either side.

“There’s a lot of semantic arguments on the web right now, like can people handle two interfaces?” Harris said. “Every app is its own interface, every website is its own interface. There’s not a single person in the world who will come here and click on the desktop app and be like ‘Oh my god, I don’t know what this is, what am I supposed to do?’ Everyone knows how to use this.”

And in this respect, Microsoft is right. People should be able to handle both a Metro and desktop interface in a single PC system. In my time using the Release Preview on a non-touchscreen laptop, I actually enjoyed the dual experience — bugs notwithstanding — especially with the multitasking split-view feature. And I imagine the experience will only get better as Windows 8 is polished further.

In the end, we can all get what we want in Windows 8. Desktop diehards can still opt to spend all of their time in the desktop app (though I don’t recommend it). And those who want Metro through and through can unpin the desktop from their Start Screens to forget the past.

And the rest of us can do both.

Zuckerberg patents aim to simplify Facebook messages

2012-05-21T13:06:00.000-07:00

The world's attention may be focused on Facebook's initial public offering and the outsize valuation of the company - but the business of innovation continues in the background for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. He's been named as a co-inventor on four Facebook patent applications (the top four) published yesterday by the US patent office.

The filings show Facebook is planning a heap of ways to make more sense of the multitude of different message types that users send and receive on the social network. Why? "It is easy for a user to become overwhelmed with the constant stream of incoming messages," Zuckerberg and colleagues admit in the preamble to patent application US 2012/0124483.

This firehose includes updates from pals, inbox mails, event notifiers, apps, web-chat clients and photosharing sites - like recently-acquired Instagram. The idea seems to be to try to make sending and receiving messages a more coherent, less distracting, process.

In patent application US 2012/0124146, for instance, one idea is that the network can learn how you usually communicate with a recipient. So if you normally send Facebook updates to Joe Soap, and then suddenly you begin texting him, the system will ensure your texts arrive in his Facebook inbox, rather than his phone alone.

Another of the patents, US 2012/0124147, suggests Facebook's servers automatically organise messages into related conversation subject threads. Still another, US 2012/0124148 seeks out contextual information related to messages (such as a link to a profile, or a profile picture) of someone who has provided key information in a thread.

None of this is startlingly innovative - but there's a landgrab going on in the computer-implemented invention field as patent lawsuits proliferate - and firms worry they may be the next target of a patent troll or a floundering rival out to make a buck.

For my money, the best Facebook invention revealed this week was this one: the bizarrely jury-rigged smartphone that allowed Zuckerberg to post to Facebook the moment he hit a button to ring the trading bell at NASDAQ as the IPO kicked off.

New Google Street View helps you explore hidden treasures of the world

2012-04-20T13:35:00.002-07:00

who are struck with wanderlust can now explore the globe from the comfort of their homes, as long as they have access to the internet.

Google's Street View is heading down the Amazon to capture pictures of "some of the most remote and biodiverse areas in the world", according to its official blog.

According to the Sunday Times newspaper, the Street View has so far filmed a 30-mile stretch of from the town of Tumbira along the Rio Negro, the world's second-longest river from northeast Brazil, Moon Bay in the South Shetland Islands of western Antarctica and, reports the Daily Mail.

The cameras can shoot in 360 degrees, motion sensors and lasers to capture 3-D images and distances.

Armchair adventurers will not only be to able to gaze at the Amazon, they'll be able to peek inside buildings as the camera has filmed some villages and paths that lead into the thick jungle.

Named Amazon Street View, the images will be available from November.

But those who have been lucky enough to explore the depths of the Brazilian rainforest say the online pictures simply cannot compare to the real thing.

Speaking to paper, Matt Brandon, a TV producer who filmed with presenter Bruce Parry in the Amazon, said: "I think it's great for everyone to be able to see the Amazon in this way.

"If you're fortunate enough to able to actually go there, then you should grab it with both hands," he added. (ANI)

Coming soon: Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Arc S that can take 3D pictures

2012-04-20T13:32:00.003-07:00

London, Sept 5 : Sony Ericsson has announced its new line of smartphones, which can take 3D panoramic images on a standard 2D camera - the first of its kind on the mobile phone market.

Pictures taken on the new, top-of-the-range Xperia Arc S can be viewed on any compatible television set.

The phone, however, will display them only in two dimensions. Nor will it be able to produce 3D video output, reports the Daily Mail.

The camera works by taking several simultaneous images and `stitching' them together.

The phone, which runs Google's Android operating system, has a 4.2" screen and the camera definition is 8.1 megapixels, according to the Sunday Telegraph.

Any 3D images are viewed by connecting the phone to a 3D TV using the HDMI output.

The company said the Arc S will come in five colours - white, blue, silver, black and pink.

The device was unveiled at the IFA technology fair in Berlin. (ANI)

YouTube working to release blurring tool for videos

2012-04-03T12:22:00.002-07:00

YouTube is developing a device for movie creators to simply unknown the encounters of individuals presented in their movie in a quote to deal with comfort issues. This new device should be available within a few months, says Victoria Huge,YouTube administrator of international devices and plan.

As unveiled on Information Week, the clouding technological innovation was described at a segment discussion at the The search engines (NASDAQ: GOOG) Big Outdoor tents occurrence presented the other day.

According to Huge, though clouding the encounters of individuals in movie is not difficult, many customers do not perform any modifying on their video clips previous to posting, or don't succeed to search for the acceptance of everyone presented in the movie. This results in unavoidable problems followed by the treatment of the problem movie if no changes were made to deal with them.YouTube wishes to make things easier by including a clouding device in its movie modifying tool set.This will allow movie designers to modify a movie to cloud out a complainant’s face and deal with the issue, without having to remove it.

Windows 8 and the Perception Game

2012-03-21T09:22:00.001-07:00

Windows 8 is likely the most ambitious UI project for Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) since Microsoft Bob, and we all know how that ended up. What was kind of sad about Microsoft Bob was that for what it was intended to do, it was both cutting-edge and very successful. However, because it was positioned as the follow-on to Windows, the bar was set too high and the product failed spectacularly.

We've since seen products like the RIM PlayBook -- which was a brilliant BlackBerry accessory but not designed to be a standalone product like the iPad -- fail for similar reasons.

I could argue that if folks initially saw the iPod as a heavy, expensive device with poor content access (remember it launched without either Windows support or iTunes), or the iPhone as crappy, expensive, fragile phone with slow connectivity (2.5G in a 3G time frame, no screen protection, based on the failed LG Prada), or the iPad as an expensive netbook without a keyboard (which is kind of what it is), they would have failed too.

But Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) got us to see those products for what they could do, and instead of turning into door stops -- which most similar devices became -- they were massive successes.

What people, particularly engineers, don't seem to get is that the success of a product is dependent more on the perceptions that surround it than on reality. That is why the iPad is a magical, successful device, and the PlayBook is a failure. People saw the iPad for what it could do and the PlayBook for what it couldn't.

For Windows 8 to succeed, buyers will have to see it as the best blend of the iPad and the MacBook Air, which is a compelling value. If they see it as an overly complex mess, it will be the next Vista. My peers are split on how this is likely to turn out.

I'll close with my product of the week: an amazing camera that makes focusing obsolete.
Playing to Perceptions

We are all biased. What is amazing is how many of us try to argue that we aren't. We can watch MSNBC or Fox and actually think one is balanced and the other isn't. If we stood back, we should be able to determine that both services play to their own unique audiences and tailor very different positions to appeal to broadly different biases. In short, it is likely both services are intentionally leaving out key information to further their particular biases.

I was reminded of this when I was sent a story by Fox news that referenced a liberal site speaking from Democratic talking points, suggesting that such behavior was objectionable. This came within a few days of "The Daily Show" playing a clip of Fox doing the same thing with Republican talking points. It is doubtful either side thought what it was doing was wrong, even though each criticized the other for doing it.

One of the industry secrets is that current Apple Hardware is very fragile, but Apple will aggressively replace it if it fails. Looking at Apple margins, it apparently is cheaper to accept the breakage than it is to build more robust products and, because they take excellent care of users when they break, the users actually think more of Apple than vendors with more robust products.

Ironically, I first ran into this perception issue in the 1990s with Dell (Nasdaq: DELL). Back then, Dell hardware was very fragile, but Dell took excellent care of users when it broke, and Dell enjoyed Apple-like growth and success back then. It is fascinating to note that Apple has basically learned something from Dell that Dell later forgot -- that maintaining the perception of excellence is actually more important than achieving excellence.

Chances are your -- and my -- entire world is defined by largely false perceptions -- from people we think are evil who aren't, to people we think are good who aren't. Most are someplace in between. You generally see this most pronounced when a marriage fails quickly. Both spouses will often defend their partner to those who think the marriage is a mistake up until the marriage fails, and then they'll instantly become their greatest critic, finding nothing endearing about them. Neither state is accurate -- yet in both instances, they are clearly unaware of their own biases or inconsistencies.

This is a long way of saying our perceptions are our reality, and if you don't get that, stop reading now because you won't get the rest of this any better.
Windows 8 vs. the MacBook Air + iPad

What Microsoft is trying to build is actually rather compelling. Much like the smartphone is a combination of a Palm Pilot, iPod, and phone, the ideal Windows 8 desktop will be a combination of an Ultrabook like the MacBook Air, and a tablet like the iPad.

Now this entire concept works if you mentally grasp that it is better to carry one device that does both than to haul around two distinctly different devices. With the two devices, you have all the objections that surround Windows 8's two interfaces. Apple's iOS and Mac OS X are different, after all. Rather than increasing complexity, removing one of the devices actually reduces the complexity.

But much like you have the iPod interface, the phone interface, and the PDA interface, depending on what app you open on the iPhone, each mode of Windows 8 has a different user experience tied to it. Metro is for when it is a tablet, and the older Windows interface is best when it is in PC mode.

Now let's go back to early last decade, when we had Palm PDAs and the first iPods, and Motorola's flip phone was the most popular phone. If someone would have tossed out a phone that tried to blend all three, it is unlikely the market would have seen it positively. It would have been a thick, heavy phone, without the flip feature people were buying. Remember the first Apple phone: The Roker sucked -- even Steve Jobs hated it.

Both the device and the market had to evolve to something that could be seen as wonderful, and the iPhone was born.

Now what will be interesting -- interesting defined as incredibly difficult to message -- is the fact there will be two (actually you'll discover there are three, but I'll cover that at a later date) distinct versions of Windows 8: one that will emphasize traditional PC performance and capability, and one that will be focused on tablets and emphasize battery life. This is a choice Apple doesn't have, and if people like the choice, it is a winner. If they get confused, Tim Cook and Google will be grinning ear to ear.
Wrapping Up: It Is All About Perceptions

One huge advantage Apple has is the way it approaches the market. It puts a huge effort into ensuring positive coverage of its products and, by containing leaks, preventing any uncontrolled early negative perceptions from seeing the light of day.

Microsoft's partner model limits its ability to control initial impressions -- responses to Windows 8 are now based on a rough Beta -- and requires that its partners execute with a consistent, powerful message. Often, that's were launches fail.

In the end -- and I've been using the Beta for a couple of weeks now -- Windows 8 is potentially wonderful. However, it is also incredibly difficult to message, which will make this rollout, one way or the other, one for the history books.
Product of the Week: Lytro Camera

Product of the Week

Every once in a while, a product comes out that makes everything before it appear on the verge of being obsolete. The Lytro camera is just such a device. It makes current cameras appear woefully inadequate, even though it has clearly not reached its full potential yet.

What the Lytro does is capture a massive amount of visual information when you take a picture, allowing you to focus after the picture is taken. In short, everything is in focus -- you just have to change perspective on the picture itself to change what you are focused on. Have something you like in the background -- shift perspective, foreground same. This is simply not possible with other cameras.

Lytro camera

For now, I recommend this Mac-only product only for true geeks, given its limitations -- it is kind of like an ultra-modern version of the first box Kodak camera, at this point.

There appears to be little doubt that this technology could transform digital photography. We often talk about Innovation, and the truly amazing Lytro camera pushes innovation to the limit, so it is my product of the week

Orkut App Finally Arrives for iPhone, iPad

2012-01-22T05:35:00.000-08:00

Popular Brazilian-based social networking site Orkut has finally gotten its own app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

[More from Mashable: Facebook Announces Tight Integration of 60 Apps to Timeline, More on the Way]

The free app for Orkut – a site launched by Google in 2004 which now has 66 million active members – allows users to post status updates, pictures and chat with others.

However, the app is slightly overdue. In fact, earlier this week it was revealed that Facebook overtook Orkut as Brazil’s most-popular social network in December. Its popularity in Brazil -- where 60% of Orkut’s users are based -- led to it being hosted and managed by Google Brazil from 2008 onwards.

[More from Mashable: Hey Zuckerberg, Take Facebook Down for a Day]

In addition, Google+ is also picking up steam in Brazil. It alone raked in 4.3 million users last month.

But even still, the app has been much-anticipated for awhile now and Orkut users will certainly be glad to finally gain access to the site on the go. The app is now available for download via the Apple App Store.

Phone Facebook: It's Finally Real And Her Name Is Buffy

2011-11-22T21:34:00.000-08:00

After years of studying the best way to enter the business phone, Facebook operated Taiwanese manufacturer HTC mobile phones to create a smart phone that has integrated social networks in the heart of his being.

The code name "Buffy" after television Vampire Slayer, the phone is designed to run on a modified version of Android that very strongly twisted Facebook integration services and support HTML5 as a platform for applications, according to sources close the project.

Although it has changed the scope and leadership, Buffy has been a constant concern for the social networking giant in the last two years. Project is now run by Facebook CTO Bret Taylor, several sources said.

A Facebook spokesperson declined to comment directly on Buffy.

But the official added: "Our mobile strategy is simple We believe that every mobile device is better, if it is very social work with the entire mobile industry -.. operators, equipment manufacturers, operating system vendors and application developers. - And to bring a more social experience and more people around the world "

Facebook recently selected by HTC, while also considering at least one other possible hardware partners - Korea's Samsung. This means that the products are still ways to hit the market, probably for as long as 12-18 months.

Facebook Mobile is vital for the future. And go directly to the business phone, and full of challenges, could be important for the company.

Facebook says it has 350 million mobile phone users and relationships with mobile operators around the world 475. Although it is one of the most popular phones of almost all of what is available, the social network usually plays a supporting role.

In many cases, the Facebook App is just a place where people can watch the feed of friends' and upload photos and status updates. In other cases, Facebook is working to take things a step further, allowing users to upload images directly to the shooting app, or integrate Facebook contacts with the phone book.

But the fiercest fighting for control of mobile only. Google and Apple both major smartphone operating systems, so little to say about Facebook's mobile destination.

Apple has struggled to keep up strict control over payments on your mobile, even if the applications run off the platform of Facebook, and Twitter also has its social partners. Google is a direct competitor, as it works to promote and integrate your own social network, Google +, through all its products.

Buffy The project represents a significant change for Facebook, which has focused much of his work in partnerships with handset manufacturers looking to create light more socially oriented phones.

15 Tips to Make Your PC Run Smoother and Faster

2011-10-31T23:35:00.000-07:00

Want o make your PC run faster and smoother?

These are some small tips which make great impact on the performance of your computer. Everybody wants a PC which runs the way we want. A newly bought computer just impresses you, with its fast interface, quick reactions, negligible garbage, in short just like what a new computer should.

But after using your computer for about a year or so, like me, you would also face some minor problems with your computer performance e.g. takes more time to boot up, hangs up very frequently, you see a large cluster of useless icons on your desktop, applications run slower, some even refuse to run. Innumerable problems are faced by all of us.

Now all of us won’t buy a new computer just for this reason, so what would you do? Format your hard disk? Probably, but who wants to lose precious data? There are many small things that PC users, don’t know about, or though being aware of them don’t prefer to use them as they require investment of time. And who has free time? Well then, what to do?

I am going to tell you, what I do to my own PC, to achieve the performance level I want from it. This doesn’t require much effort to follow these simple tips, nor do they require much time, but surely they increase our PC performance, your PC would surely run smoother and faster.

Make Computer Faster

1. First of all, don’t ever fill your desktop with shortcut icons or data folders or files. Keep your desktop as clean as possible. If possible, don’t place shortcut of applications on your desktop, just run them from the start menu. This would vastly speed up your startup process.

2. Keep your C: drive; or whichever partition your OS is installed to, as clean and defragmented as possible. I personally prefer not to install most of the programs on my C: drive. Because this is the drive where your important OS files are present, and whatever space is left on the drive is used as virtual memory, so less the garbage on your OS drive, faster your computer would run.

3. Use least visual enhancements on your desktop. That means, to reduce the use of desktop gadgets, which takes loads of memory usage. Also using a simple theme is best. Animated desktop themes, screensavers or wallpapers obviously take more memory usage from your hands. So keeping it simple makes the difference.

4. If you are regular internet user, then consider using the “Clear Cache” function of your browser, to clear temporary offline data saved by the browser – this clears up some considerate amount of temporary data. Also regularly clear browser history and cookies.

5. Update your antivirus regularly, preferably every two or three days. Worms and malwares are a very common reason due to which your computer runs slower than usual, that is because worms duplicate themselves and fill your disk with useless, corrupt data and also occupies a large amount of your available memory.

6. Make it a habit to clear %temp% and %tmp% folders of your PC every day. They contain temporary files which you can freely delete to gain some small but considerable amount of disk space.

7. Use Disk Defragmenter and Disk Cleanup on a regular basis.

8. One piece of advice from me is not to use any disk cleaning utilities available on the net unless they are from trusted owners. Because, it is true that they help you gain some more disk space and gain some speed from your PC but most of their work can be done manually by users, so they just take some useless space on your disk.

9. After installing any program, they take up some space on your disk, also on your registry. I suggest not installing any program which you consider ‘use and throw’ because even after uninstalling them, some of their remains still linger on your PC, which also affects your PC performance.

10. Regularly delete all the contents of your ‘Recent’ folder. This folder contains shortcut to your recently used documents and programs. These shortcuts are just useless garbage which you should clear on daily basis.

11. To speed up the boot time, disable any useless startup programs from MSConfig utility.

12. Delete contents of your recycle bin to gain some more disk space.

13. TeraCopy is one of the best programs to speed up file copying. I personally prefer using this program.

14. Using external DNS servers such as OpenDNS, boosts your internet speed up to some extent.

15. Select “Adjust for best performance” setting on the Performance tab in System Properties.

These are some small tips which I prefer following and I know the results. If you are completely fed up with your PC performance, then you should try reformatting your hard disk partition. That would surely do it. But if you just want to continue with your PC for a long time, then from the very beginning, follow these steps regularly and you’ll see the impact of these minor steps in a major way.

First iPhone 4S Reviews Are Mostly Thumbs Up

2011-10-21T06:59:00.000-07:00

The early reviews for Apple’s iPhone 4S are in and, as expected, reviewers — who had anticipated an iPhone 5 — are tempered in their praise. Still, they give the model points for its 8-megapixel camera, speed and the Siri voice-recognition feature.

Wall Street Journal tech columnist Walter S. Mossberg, for instance, notes the iPhone 4S “isn’t a dramatic game-changer like some previous iPhones.” For that reason, Mossberg recommends that iPhone 4 users don’t rush to upgrade, but download the new iOS instead. “But owners of older iPhone models, or those with basic phones, will find this latest iPhone a pleasure and a good value.”

Though Mossberg praises the phone’s “brilliant new camera” and “faster, 4G-class download speeds,” he dubs Siri, the voice-recognizing personal assistant, the “standout feature.” Siri “isn’t perfect, and is labeled a beta, but it has great potential and worked pretty well for me, despite some glitches,” he writes.

The New York Times‘s David Pogue, meanwhile, was also captivated by Siri, though he notes its similarities to Dragon Dictation, a free iOS app. “Apple won’t admit that it’s using a version of Dragon Dictation,” he writes, adding that Siri “is infinitely better, though, because it’s a built-in keyboard button, not a separate app.”

Pogue was also enamored with the 4S’s built-in camera, which delivers photos that are “crisp and clear, with beautiful color.” Though it lacks a zoom and has only a tiny LED flash, he says “this phone comes dangerously close to displacing a $200 point-and-shoot digital camera.”

In The Guardian, Stephen Fry gushed about Siri, the camera and the phone’s ability to offer service in various parts of the world. “Siri, the high quality and ultra-fast camera, 30 fps 1080p HD video, globally available voice recognition and the introduction of two antennae (the phone seamlessly switches between whichever is getting the strongest signal) are features that make the 4S irresistible,” he writes. Like Mossberg, he advises iPhone 4 owners who are “tired of the upgrade race” to download iOS 5 instead of buying the 4S.

On the downside, many reviewers also unfavorably compared the iPhone 4S to Android competitors and noted Apple lagged in some Android features. Joshua Topolsky at This is My Next, for instance, notes the phone’s Notification Center feature that collects all of your updates in one place, takes “a page right out of Android’s playbook.”

Finally, there’s the issue of call reception, a bugaboo that has plagued past iPhone models. Apple claims that the model’s two antennas will help that solve the issue. Topolsky wrote that it may have helped. “In my testing, I did seem to be getting more bars more consistently, though it’s tough to say if it made any big difference in terms of call quality.”

Mossberg, however, didn’t see any change, especially if on AT&T. “My AT&T model dropped too many calls, just as earlier AT&T iPhones do,” he writes. “My colleague’s Verizon iPhone 4S dropped none.”

Below you can find CBS’s hands on segment with the new phone. Stay tuned in the coming days for Mashable‘s take on the new iPhone 4S.

Mobile SEO is a Myth

2011-10-17T22:13:00.000-07:00

I hate the term “Mobile SEO.” What exactly is it? Besides being a buzzword thrown around at every conference, seminar, and new business pitch it’s a topic that nobody seems able to accurately explain. Google it; the results are all over the place. In a perfect world, there would be no need for mobile SEO at all.

It’s an emerging topic that, thanks to smart phones, is dying off quicker than it emerges.

Like most buzz words though, I don’t think the concept of mobile SEO is going to go away anytime soon.

So if we’re stuck with it, we might as well attempt to do it right – by not really doing anything mobile specific at all.

For starters, we need to stop confusing the terms mobile and local. While related, they are very different things – especially when it comes to SEO. It is true that local search is mostly done on mobile phones, but it does not mean mobile and local SEO are the same thing. They are not and that is where the industry confusion comes in.

When people say mobile SEO they usually mean local SEO. Sometimes they actually mean search results on a mobile phone. Most of the time though, they have no idea what they mean and are simply trying to shift their paradigm and leverage as many buzzwords as they can to help synergize their sales pitch. (see how successful that is?)
So let’s clarify:

Mobile Search refers to search done on a mobile device. That’s it.

Local Search deals with results specific to a location. This usually also includes place pages, maps, and other things that help augment local search.

Part of what helps sustain the mobile search myth is this whole multi-screen concept that is somehow gaining popularity. If you look hard enough you’ll find studies that show mobile phone users use their devices differently than tablet users who use their devices differently than ordinary computer users. I’m recalling a presentation I once sat through where somebody in a cheap suit defined 1st screen, 2nd screen, 3rd screen, 4th screen, and 5th screen and how we should have a strategy for all of them. That type of thinking achieves billable hours but not results.

The whole “multiple screens need multiple sites” theory just doesn’t make sense. We have never designed separate TV commercials for 13″ CRT screens and 70″ plasmas – even though people watching them are usually in very different places/situations. When it comes to viewing a website, my 10″ tablet isn’t much different than my 13″ laptop. Sure it does not support flash, but that is not a reason to design a different site – it is just a reason to learn HTML5.

Mobile screens are nothing more than smaller computer screens. There are some minor differences now, but look at how fast phones are evolving; within a year or so there won’t be any difference at all. With browsers (like IE6) there came a time when we collectively decided to stop supporting old technology. That time for mobile sites is now. In the 90’s we designed websites for various resolutions. Today we use fluid layouts. It is time we apply the same approach to mobile.
The best Mobile SEO strategy is to not have a mobile SEO strategy.

Apple does not have a mobile strategy and they practically invented the modern mobile device. Apple.com is a great example of how to handle mobile site design. Apple shows the exact same site to mobile and “wired” visitors. It is even on the same URL. Sure, there’s probably a different style sheet involved, but that’s it. The experience is the SAME.

Even better, since it is the exact same URL they only have one site to optimize. All of the SEO work they have done to their wired site also applies to their mobile site – because they’re the same thing! They do not need a mobile search strategy because they do not technically have a mobile site.

It is not just Apple either. Google does the same thing, only the little promos below the search box change.

This is a best case scenario though, and various technical decisions made in the past might not make it applicable to everybody.
If you really MUST have a different site, use device detection and canonical tags.

Creating a separate site can open you up to all kinds of SEO problems. Having two different domains with similar content is something most SEOs strive to avoid. The last thing you want to do is create a mobile version of a site that competes with your existing site in search. Luckily, there are several ways to avoid this.

If you can’t go with using the same domain then the next best choice is m.yourdomain.com It does not really provide any SEO benefit, but “m” has sort of become the industry standard. In a best case scenario you would be able to keep all of the URLs exactly the same except for the “m.” subdomain. That way, at least it will keep things simple for users.

Remember when I said the best mobile strategy is no mobile strategy? The trick is to leverage device detection and canonicals so that your “wired” site is always shown in search results regardless of what device the searcher uses. As John Mu from Google describes the best thing to do is to slap a canonical tag on that mobile site and point it back to your wired site.

Using this strategy, search engines will always show the wired version of the site in results, but users will be taken to the proper “canonical version” that best fits their device. It is also a good idea to include a link to the full version just in case.
If you truly want a different experience, build an app.

I can hear your argument now: “a mobile device is a different experience. It has got a touch screen!” So what? We are talking about a web browser here. Touch screen, trackpad, mouse, joystick – they are all just methods of pointing and clicking. My art director on the 2nd floor uses a pad and stylus and he has not once asked for his own version of a website. If you really want to use the device’s capabilities you don’t need a mobile website – you need an app.

If you want something that is really native to a device, an app is definitely the way to go. Apps can access multi-touch features, rich media, in app purchases, gps, camera, and other aspects to provide a truly unique experience that a website cannot. But don’t just stop there. Use that same device detection to show an interstitial on your mobile site advertising the app. How is that for leveraging pre-existing SEO? Let your site’s pre-established authority work for your mobile version and help you sell apps!
TL;DR

* The best mobile strategy is to create a site that works on all devices.
* Otherwise use m.yourdomain.com, device detection to redirect (both ways) and canonical tags.
* Always provide a link for me to switch to the full version.
* If you want a true “device experience” then create an app.
* Stop saying “mobile SEO” when you mean “Local SEO”

Make Money By Uploading Your Video At YouTube?

2011-10-07T22:10:00.000-07:00

BBC News recently reported that YouTube was working on an ad revenue sharing program that will allow video uploaders to get a share of the ad revenue. The exact date has not been decided but the program rollout could begin as quickly as within the next couple of months.

This program could enable video creators to make money each time their videos are watched on YouTube. This idea is not new, other video sharing sites such as Revver already split advertising revenues with their users.

One of the options considered is to show the audience of YouTube video a short advert of three seconds length. I would imagine most users would be more tolerant with this arrangement as compare to the industry standard of 15 to 30 seconds ads.

I also imagine the advertisers would prefer longer time slots and perhaps the ability to have their sponsored message appeared at the end of the video clip where users can click to go to their website.

Then there’s another option they could consider, which is to allow video uploaders the chance to upload their video and “tag” it with their AdSense publisher ID to allow them to make money form AdSense.

Twitter unveils web traffic analytics

2011-09-14T06:10:00.000-07:00

Twitter today unveiled a web analytics service that keeps track of how much traffic Twitter is delivering to a site.

The service also shows how many page views a website generates for each Tweet. That includes re-Tweets and replies on the site. The service also keeps track of where the Tweets came from — whether they were custom-made or published through the Tweet button that sites embed on their pages. Twitter’s web analytics also has a leaderboard, where the most tweeted links show up at the top of the list.

It’s a lightweight analytics service that isn’t designed to compete with more in-depth analytics delivered by companies like Google, Twitter director of web business development April Underwood (pictured right) said. But the company has been toying with ways to make it easier for sites to keep track of traffic coming from Twitter.

Part of that effort was creating the “t.co” wrapper for each Tweet, which shows up as a source in traffic analytics programs. Around 95 percent of all tweets show up as links from “t.co” in analytics services, she said. But Twitter was not satisfied with that and wanted to develop more in-depth analytics.

“We know our partners use third-party analytics tools that go way beyond what we’re offering today,” Underwood said. “So we’re going to release an application programming interface (API) that will make their dashboards stronger.”

The product is still in private beta, but it should come out in the next several weeks.

Google Acquires Restaurant Rating Service Zagat

2011-09-10T00:54:00.000-07:00

Tech giant Google has announced it will acquire the highly-regarded travel and food rating service Zagat.

According to a post on the official Google blog, the company will provide access to Google Maps and search to Zagat services as well as use Zagat's reviews and other content to beef up their local offerings.

"With Zagat, we gain a world-class team that has more experience in consumer based-surveys, recommendations and reviews than anyone else in the industry," says Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of Local, Maps and Location Services, in the post.

Zagat was founded in 1979, and has grown to become one of the most trusted resources for reviews on restaurants, hotels and other attractions.

"The merger of our resources, expertise and platforms with those of Google will give us the opportunity to greatly expand," reads a statement from Zagat co-founders Nina and Tim Zagat. "We have spent enough time with Google senior management to know that they fully share our belief in user-generated content, and our commitment to accuracy and fairness in providing consumers with the information necessary to make smart decisions about where to eat, travel and shop."

Along with Maps, Google also offers the social-based Places where users can rate and share businesses.
