How to bring water damaged devices back to life

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:36:00 +0000

If you've accidentally water drowned/damaged your shiny new cell-phone, MP3 player or similar electronic device, don't stress....you're not alone.

In the UK, those enterprising Brits manage to drop a staggering 850,000 phones down the toilet in 2007 and this number will have only grown since then.

Luckily in many cases a drowned gadget can be resuscitated back to life using several simple steps. Old wives tales and urban myths abound on how to dry and fix a sodden phone (e.g. packing phones in uncooked rice or baking it in an oven etc.), yet most of these will at best deliver mixed results or more seriously can potentially be dangerous. Here's a quick step by step guide to safely attempting to bring back a drowned phone or PDA.

1. As soon as possible (preferably as soon as a dunking has happened), remove the device's battery to prevent any electrical shorts from creating permanent damage and once the battery is out, shake out any excess water.

2. Dry your gadget using a soft absorbent towel. Remove any battery covers, memory cards etc. Grabbing a blow dryer, set it to low heat and position it to blow on your widget from approximately 100cm away. Keep an eye on it for the first 10-15 mins, checking to ensure it doesn't get too hot. If the device gets too hot to touch, turn off the blow dryer immediately, leaving your gizmo to cool down. Increase the distance between the blow dryer and your device and start again. You'll probably need to do this for at least an hour, maybe even 2 - 3 hours.

3. Next, drop your device into a small container and loosely pack it with cotton balls. Whilst some suggest using rice, cotton balls won't leave a starchy residue, and won't gunk up your device. Ideally you should leave it packed in cotton balls sitting in an airing cupboard for at least 24 hours, longer if necessary.

4. By now your device should be dry and the cotton balls damp. Check the device thoroughly for water, if any can be seen behind its screen, keys and other parts, repeat step3 until there is no trace of water.

Assuming your device looks and feels dry, re-insert its battery back and try switching it on. If it won't start, your battery could be dead and might need to be charged. Before doing any charging, make sure that the battery is a 110 per cent dry before charging it. As there may be some moisture still inside the device do not connect it to its power adaptor/charger to see if it works as this could permanently damage your device, blow a fuse or make your hair stand on end.

5. If device refuses to work after 24 hours, repack it in cotton balls, put it in the airing cupboard and give it another 48 hours before trying to restart it. If your device still refuses to work, use its power adaptor/charger and see if that works. If at that point it still doesn't want to play ball, you'll probably need accept defeat.

Windows 7 Minimum Requirements Revealed

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:44:00 +0000

As we head closer to the official launch of Windows 7, you might want to make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements, as recommended by Microsoft, before splashing out on a copy. Those minimum requirements are as follows:

1GHz processor (32 or 64-bit)
1GB of RAM (32-bit); 2GB of RAM (64-bit)
16GB of available disk space (32-bit); 20GB of available disk space (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

Windows 7 does carry with it slightly beefier system requirements than Vista does, despite it being a better performer. From one incarnation of Windows to the next, Windows 7’s system demands do seem somewhat modest.

For reference, Windows Vista’s system requirements are:

1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
512 MB of RAM (for Home Basic); 1 GB of RAM for all other versions
15 GB of available disk space
Support for DirectX 9 graphics and 32 MB of graphics memory (for Home Basic); 128 MB of graphics memory plus WDDM support for all other versions

How to remove GrooveMonitor.exe

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:14:00 +0000

GrooveMonitor.exe is a service utility that gets installed with Office 2007. It supposedly tracks Microsoft Groove behavior and creates error reports that get sent back to Microsoft. It also annoyingly, loads on startup. Strangely, it doesn't get uninstalled when you remove Office 2007.

You can remove GrooveMonitor manually by going to have to go to Add/Remove programs in your Control Panel. Select GrooveMonitor and uninstall. That should do it right?! Actually, thats not the whole story. Annoyingly, GrooveMonitor will still load on startup.

To rid your computer of the evil, follow these steps:

- Click Start -> Run
- Type msconfig and press Enter
- Click the Startup tab and then untick any reference to groovemonitor
- Reboot

Windows 7 shipping this Fall?

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 08:16:00 +0000

Microsoft could have Windows 7 on shipped with OEM PC's as early as September this year if the words of Taipei-based Compal Electronics president are to be believed. Compal builds systems on behalf of companies like Acer and HP. Ray Chen, president of Compal was quoted as saying, "according to current planning, Windows 7 should be on its machines by late September or early October 2009"

This contrasts somewhat with what Microsoft says. Armelia Argawal, spokeswoman for Microsoft, maintains the official company position that Windows 7 will be available within three years of when Vista shipped. This places Windows 7's release sometime in Mid 2010.

Windows 7 has proven itself stable in tests, Microsoft has been under immense pressure to release sometime in 2009 after most users hesitation to switch to Vista, preferring XP instead. Windows 7 improves both performance and interface elements and is explicitly designed to run more smoothly on netbook-level hardware.

We're not quite sure how the Compal chief secured these dates, but we recommend taking this news with a large spoon of salt!

How to delete Googleupdate.exe in Windows XP and Vista

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:08:00 +0000

When you install Google applications like Chrome or Desktop onto your computer an exe named GoogleUpdate.exe is also included in the package. This runs in the background and checks for updates for Google’s programs. This pesky little updater runs as a process in Windows XP and Vista and chews up valuable memory! Since everyone knows that having too many running processes can slow your computer down, it makes sense to disable Googleupdate completely. Here's how you do it:

- Go to your Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks

- Select GoogleUpdateTaskUser

- Then right-click GoogleUpdateTaskUser and click Delete. This will prevent the task from relaunching itself.

- To remove the active process, right-click on the your taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu.

- Within task manager, select GoogleUpdate.exe and click the End Process button. Confirm when the dialog box appears.

How to burn blu ray discs

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 13:40:00 +0000

If you're looking for software to burn blu ray discs, then look no further than the list below:

BurnAware

BurnAware is a very simple and easy to use CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc burning app. You can use it to create data backups, audio CDs and to create or burn ISO image files. The free version does not support disc copying or bootable discs.

CDBurnerXP

Another good freeware app to burn CD's, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Like BurnAware, you can create and burn ISO images. However, with this software you can create bootable discs and convert BIN/NRG files to ISO.

StarBurn

StarBurn from Rocket Division is a nice full-featured CD/DVD/Blu-ray burning app. It has a nice GUI interface that splits your burning options into audio, video, and data. You can burn images and build ISO images also. Unique features include the ability to erase a disc and to compress audio.

ImgBurn

ImgBurn has been one of my favorite CD/DVD burning apps for a long time and now it also supports Blu-ray discs, which makes it even better! It has a bunch of other features that make it popular, including supporting the latest drives, the ability to batch create images, support for a wide range of image file formats, and lots more.

Express Burn

Express Burn uses a propreitary optimization system and claims to be the fastest CD/DVD burning software. Not sure if that’s true or not! Has all the features mentioned earlier, plus some extra like recording video files to PAL or NTSC format and choice of widescreen or standard format for DVD authoring.

FinalBurner

Finally, FinalBurner is the last free Blu-ray supporting disc burning software out there. You can use it to create a data cd, audio cd, and video cd.

How to reopen a closed tab in Google Chrome

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 10:05:00 +0000

You finally get to the webpage you've been surfing for and now you've accidentally closed the tab. This can be a very frustrating situation. Chrome is quite forgiving and allows you to easily reopen the closed tab, even if you've closed other tabs after it.

Using a Keyboard Shortcut:
By using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T, Chrome will open the last tab that was closed. Use the keyboard shortcut again, and it will open the tab that was closed before that, and so on. You can use this method to restore up to the last 10 tabs that have been closed during your browsing session.

Using the New Tab Page:
Open up a new tab. Go to Recently closed tabs section located in the lower-right of the page. You will find the last 3 tabs that have recently been closed during your browser session.

To see the first easter egg in Firefox 3, type about:Mozilla in the address bar and hit enter. You can see the following text appear on the screen, (white text in maroon background). "Mammon slept. And the beast reborn spread over the earth and its numbers grew legion. And they proclaimed the times and sacrificed crops unto the fire, with the cunning of foxes. And they built a new world in their own image as promised by the sacred words, and spoke of the beast with their children. Mammon awoke, and lo! it was naught but a follower.

from The Book of Mozilla, 11:9 (10th Edition)"

To see the second easter egg type about:robots into the Firefox 3 address bar. The following will appear!

"Welcome Humans!

We have come to visit you in peace and with goodwill!

* Robots may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

* Robots have seen things you people wouldn't believe. * Robots are Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With. * Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.

And they have a plan."

7 reasons why NOT to use Internet Explorer

noreply@blogger.com (CyberSt0rm) — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0000

So what are some concrete reasons behind my recommendation against Internet Explorer in general? Without further ado they are:

Common Internet Standards Ignored

The internet works as a cohesive unit only because all makers of browsers and web sites adhere to certain commonly accepted standards of design and use. Microsoft consistently ignores these standards in favor of being proprietary. this means they would rather everyone be forced to use their software model than change their model to meet fast changes and increasing demand for cross platform and cross browser compatibility.

This makes Internet Explorer the hardest browser to work with. If I design a web site and it isn't working in FireFox or Safari, for example, the tweak to fix the error is small, because they both accept the same standard of design and use. If it doesn't work in IE, forget it. The tweak to make it happen in IE is massive and time consuming. I already spent huge amounts of time designing the page and getting it to work in four common browsers, I don't want to spend additional days on end trying to make IE "see" it.

ActiveX Is The Devil

Safety is another huge issue with IE. Other browsers do not use or accept ActiveX and Active Scripting, two Microsoft applets that allow people to access your browser for various programs. These two programs allow someone else the possibility of controlling your computer, and open a huge barn door for viruses, adware, spy ware, malware and phishers to come strolling leisurely through.

Go ahead and use your virus software and your firewall - as long as you also use IE, you may as well give it up. You will continue to get malware on a regular basis, clogging your computer's arteries, causing slowdown and crashes and possibly putting your data at risk. Of course, any virus or malware can still get on the machine of someone using one of the other browsers. The main difference is that the users of other browsers more often have to actually open a file or interact with it in some way to allow it in with them, and IE lets malware in for you.

Does Not Accept Extensions and Add Ons

No software can accommodate the complete wishes of its user base. It's impossible. Other browsers, like FireFox and Safari, acknowledge this by allowing third party programmers to build extensions and add ons that handle the missing features, making every one happy. Internet Explorer demonstrates great hubris by not allowing their user base to create or add features that address issues with their software and its lack of compatibility with so many things.

I'm not the only one who thinks IE's hubris is damaging. There have been several suits filed in various places wanting IE to no longer be tied to Windows, and to be forced to be more compatible with web standards. The most recent of these is the Opera suit in the EU.

Ugly Web Spaces

Have you ever viewed a web page designed solely with IE in mind in another browser? They are hideous, non functional, clunky pages in every case, on every other browser. Safari does the best job of "fixing" the looks of an IE page, but it can't do much to fix the way they work (or don't). Thinking the web still has to be hard to use and ugly is just wrong. The moment you switch to any other browser, your mind will opened to a beautiful looking, easy to use, functioning web.

Overwrites

When you install IE, you allow it to overwrite your system DLL files. The files it installs are not 100% compatible in many cases, mainly because it not only refuses to be compatible with much of the web, but with its own operating system as well. This can lead to system slow down and crashes. Add in the malware issues mentioned above and you have a real morass on your hands.

Java Issues

Did you know that Microsoft Java is not the same as the Java everyone else uses? I would be willing to bet you didn't. I'd also be willing to bet you've experienced the frustration of going to page with Java applets on the recommendation of friends or colleagues who have been using it flawlessly in other browsers, only to find it doesn't work right for you.

this is just another example of IE refusing to comply with the standards everyone else uses. They want you to have to use Microsoft products and Windows, and they think shutting you off from most of the web's functionality will convince you that is necessary. It just isn't so. You can use FireFox and still use your Microsoft programs. Changing browsers won't blow up your computer - it will just open new doors to you online.

Linux Incompatibility

This makes no sense to the average web user, but Internet Explorer's continued incompatibility with Linux is an issue for a very tech savvy sector of the online market.

There are so many reasons not to use Internet Explorer I had some difficulty putting them into a list. In fact, there are so many I keep thinking I forgot a few. Did I? Let me know if I did.
