Intel has launched the "most advanced processor" ever. Leading Chip maker, Intel has launched its first quad-core solution for the desktop PC, achieved with 45 nanometre silicon technology.
The chip will be available in three versions, with international unit prices ranging from nearly $1,000 for the top end ‘Extreme’ edition clocking 3.20 GHz to the $284 basic version at 2.66 GHz. All three chips conserve power by cutting down battery usage when the device is in idle state.
The chip codenamed is ‘Nehalem’, the i7 processor.Quad-Core means 4 cores on the same slab of silicon.

This is close to the launch of AMD's availability of its 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor.
Both the processors are similar in technology( 45 nm ). While the performances are yet to be compared. Both have received extensive reviews.

While the AMD's Opteron deliver faster “world switch” time, which enhances virtual machine efficiency, and feature improved Rapid Virtualization Indexing, more comparative review in my next article.... keep reading !!

7-Zip Better than WinZip

2008-11-19T05:33:00.000-08:00

In case you have problems opening a zip file with WinZip, try using 7-zip (freeware available in SourceForge). 7-Zipopen source software is open source software.You can use 7-Zip on any computer, including a computer in a commercial organization. You don't need to register or pay for 7-Zip.

How to Set a Folder Password

2008-11-18T08:47:00.000-08:00

Here is the Trick to Lock a Folder with Password , and its very simple.

1) Just copy the code below and paste it into Notepad. Save it by giving it any name you choose. Assuming, the file is called test.txt, change the extension to ‘.bat‘ so that the new name becomes test.bat.
2) You can edit this batch file to change the folder name and the password.
3) To change the name of the folder that is created, change the ‘test’ (in bold in the above code) to any another name you choose. Likewise change the ‘pwd123′ (in red in the code) to anything else.

How to use it
===========
4 ) Place the (bat)file in the location where you would like to create your protected folder. Run the batch file by double clicking on it. This will create a folder named test in the same location as the batch file.
5) You can now open this folder and place any files in it. Once you are finished, run the batch file again. You will be asked whether you want to lock the folder. Entry ‘Y’ (for Yes) and hit Enter.
6) The folder becomes invisible. To retrieve the folder, run the batch file again. You will be prompted to enter the password. Enter the password, hit enter and voila! the folder appears.

CODE
====
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder test
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST test goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren test "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==pwd123 goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" test
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md test
echo test created successfully
goto End
:End

If the above code dosen't works, the problem might be with the quotes used in the code in this post. Once you copy the code you would also need to change each of the double quotes with your keyboard double quotes or CLICK HERE to download.

Web-Based Client for Gtalk

2008-07-24T06:27:00.000-07:00

A new web-based client from GTALK is there , if Gtalk is banned in your office . This web-based Gtalk interface is accessible from any browser be it Mozilla or IE .
This gives you the ability to use Google Talk through any browser, anywhere. I talked about meebo a while back, but what is different about the two is that this web-based client is only for Google Talk, uses Flash instead of Ajax.
I think it is a better to go for Flash based as there wouldn’t be the browser compatibility issues with Javascript, but just requires one to have Flash installed. If you have Flash and you have a Gmail account LOG in Here..

How to get to the command prompt by directly right-clicking on the folder

2008-07-16T02:55:00.000-07:00

Very frequently we need to create command prompt at a certain folder. Most users directly go to command prompt and then type out the entire pathname to get to the required folder.
Would it not be much easier to get to the command prompt by directly right-clicking on the folder?
Below is how you can do it. This is valid only for Win XP. Other operating systems have not been checked.

1. Create a text file wherever it is easy for you to access it.
2. Copy and past the following data into the file command.txt :

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\DosHere]
@="Command &Prompt Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\DosHere\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\DosHere]
@="Command &Prompt Here"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\DosHere\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""

3. Save the file
4. Now rename the extension from a command.txt to a command.reg (registry type file). Go to DOS prompt and type C:\ren command.txt command.reg
5. Double clicking the file will pop up a dialog box saying "Are you sure you want to add the data to the registry".
6. Say yes and the data gets added into your windows registry.
7. Now any folder where you want a command prompt, it is as easy as right clicking on the folder and choosing "Command Prompt Here".

Simple as that....

Alt + Tab Tricks in XP

2008-07-16T02:28:00.000-07:00

For those of you who use the Alt+Tab key combination to switch between open windows on your desktop, I am sure you have encountered times when you cannot distinguish one window from the other due to having more than one instance of the same program open. Microsoft became aware of this draw-back after releasing the XP operating system and subsequently released a "Power Toy" to resolve this issue. The Power Toy resolves this issue by replacing the program icons with actual screenshots of your open windows. This way you can locate exactly which window you wish to switch to, which is immensely useful when navigating between several SAP windows at one time.

Here are picture of using the Alt+Tab key combination post- installation of the Power Toy..

Search Engine from Powerset: Move Over, Google

2008-07-07T05:52:00.000-07:00

Powerset’s goal is to change the way people interact with technology by enabling computers to understand our language. While this is a difficult challenge, we believe that now is the right time to begin the journey. Powerset is first applying its natural language processing to search, aiming to improve the way we find information by unlocking the meaning encoded in ordinary human language.

Powerset’s first product is a search and discovery experience for Wikipedia, launched in May 2008. Powerset’s technology improves the entire search process. In the search box, you can express yourself in keywords, phrases, or simple questions. On the search results page, Powerset gives more accurate results, often answering questions directly, and aggregates information from across multiple articles. Finally, Powerset’s technology follows you into enhanced Wikipedia articles, giving you a better way to quickly digest and navigate content.

Using Powerset's method, a searcher could ask, "What companies did PeopleSoft acquire in 2002?" and potentially get more on-point search results than from typing in mere keywords such as "PeopleSoft acquisitions 2002." Using Google, that query also brings up mentions of Oracle's 2004 acquisition of PeopleSoft. Another advantage of the Powerset approach is it gets to the meaning of words, so queries for one word will fetch results that contain words which are synonyms. Google's keyword searching generally won't do that.
