Tech Shots 4 U

Once you click on these links you will be directed to a site where you will find some java script code,
they will ask you to paste that code while using orkut in the address bar, when u enter that code, after giving some messages , it will say you to again login on to orkut , and redirect you to a phishing page , which looks just like normal orkut login , but actually when u see in the address bar, address will be something else, like http://hajsdgajs.blogspot.com/

Google's fast and light net book operating system, Chrome OS, isn't due out until late fall, but thumb drive owners can jump into an open-source build of the code so far. You can run a custom build of Chrome OS from Hexxeh from your thumb drive and try out Chrome as it stands today. Isn't open source development cool?

Tabs in the browser facilitate surfing tremendously. However, the overview is lost when many tabs are open at the same time.
Download and install an add-on called ‘FoxTab’. Restart Firefox after the application is installed.For calling up FoxTab, click the new symbol in the navigation bar or press [Ctrl] + [Q]. The tool now shows all open tabs in a 3D pane. It contains the tabs of all open browser windows.

The extend-able Quick-Launch bar offers direct access to important programs. However,more the number of applications is added to it, the more confusing it gets.The time advantage is lost in the effort spent on searching for the right program.

Set aside My Computer as an independent task bar on the desktop. In this way you can quickly access it. Right click the ‘Start’ button, select ‘Properties’ and activate the option ‘Start Menu’. This is important since the tip doesn’t work if you use the ‘Classic Start Menu’. Now right click on the ‘Taskbar’ and deactivate the option ‘Lock the taskbar’.Instead of individual programs, you can add folders in the Quick Launch bar. Related programs can thus be grouped, which improves the overview considerably. However, there is one drawback: the operating system opens the Windows Explorer with the folder contents if you click such an entry. It would have been much better if you could make a selection in the form of a menu. There is a trick though that can help you.

1. Open up Windows Explorer & Browse to C:\Windows\Performance\WinSAT\DataStore.

2.Right Click on the most recently created XML file there & click on properties.

3.Click on the Security Tab & then on the Edit Button.

4.Click on Add & enter the user name that you log in using . click OK.

Firefox happens to be my favorite browser. I have used it for quite a while now, and use a variety of add-ons, Greasemonkey scripts, along with Stylish scripts to make it a better browsing experience. In this article, I will be listing the top 20 Greasemonkey user scripts that I use. For those of you who don’t know about user scripts, here is the best definition I can give:

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

I have seen so many proxy sites which claim to access orkut but in reality you can’t even login into orkut with most of them, the reason behind this is that orkut login consists of series of redirections and authentications at four different levels, and it’s always difficult for any proxy site to be compatible at such levels. Even if some proxy sites are able to login into the orkut, you would not be able to do anything more than that. These sites would not be able to do even simple things like scraps and messages.

http://www.proxut.com  is just the right proxy site i have found for you.
Proxut.com allow you to bypass restricted sites at work, school or college, including unblocking sites like Orkut, MySpace, Bebo, Facebook, Friendster and plenty more! The best thing is that this is free proxy site and simple to use.

1. Find bottlenecks
From what we've seen so far Windows 7 is already performing better than Vista, but if your PC seems sluggish then it's now much easier to uncover the bottleneck. Click Start, type RESMON and press Enter to launch the Resource Monitor, then click the CPU, Memory, Disk or Network tabs. Windows 7 will immediately show which processes are hogging the most system resources.
The CPU view is particularly useful, and provides something like a more powerful version of Task Manager. If a program has locked up, for example, then right-click its name in the list and select Analyze Process. Windows will then try to tell you why it's hanging - the program might be waiting for another process, perhaps - which could give you the information you need to fix the problem.

FIND BOTTLENECKS: Resource monitor keeps a careful eye on exactly how your PC is being used

The latest file sharing protocol bittorrent has modified everything when it comes to file sharing. It is a nice platform for downloading large files. Sharing of files include movies, iso images and MP3 songs. Bittorent is mainly famous for illegal file sharing .
The Bittorrent system can be slow at times due to heavy traffic. so let us tweak bittorrent sharing program a little bit.
There are a lot of different bittorrent clients that you can download. I think the best are BitCommet and uTorrent.

Here is a few tips to speed up uTorrent Client. Similar can be implemented on any other torrent clients ,which you are using.

Most new devices loaded with video capture capabilities like mobile phones, camcorders, digicams and pocket camcorders all have YouTube video settings in common it seems. While that makes it real easy to capture and upload, there are those times when you might just want to do a bit of editing before uploading and finding the right editor can sometimes be a bit of a pain. So trust Google to make things simple and easy. They’ve now got an online video editor for YouTube that should simplify the whole deal.

The VAIO Z and Y Series PCs are the world’s first out-of-the box laptops that act as a personal hotspot. Select models of these series feature the exclusive new Sony embedded wireless technology called Share My Connection (SMC). With SMC you can turn your laptop into a mobile wireless access point that can connect up to five other PCs or networked devices, such as smartphones, mp3 players, and cameras. Of course a subscription is required.

LG has just added two more Cookie devices to their ever growing range of budget touchscreen devices, trying to keep up with close competitors, Samsung, and their Corby. The two new devices are called the Cookie Fresh (LG GS290) & Cookie Plus(LG GS500v).

These Cookie devices, like the others are directed at the youth segment of users who are looking for devices that are fun to use, employ the latest trends like touchscreen functionality and of course are loaded with Social Networking options. LG’s new Cookie devices are designed to offer them all of that with their SNS app for social networking so users can stay connected to Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Flickr and other popular sites anytime and anywhere and LiveSquare for visually dynamic experience for being interactive with your closer contacts. The handsets are also equipped with LG’s Editable Screenshot MMS- which provides a creative communication solution by allowing editing of web images; an animated UI and colourful theme option.

Sony India expands its Walkman MP3 player collection with the launch of Walkman W & B series. Advancing its revolutionary design, the new W series is now water resistant and washable.

Walkman W series: Water resistant and washable

Sony Ericsson, like Nokia doesn’t really do much at the actual Communic Asia event, but they do have a tendency to host a separate event at other locations where they unveil new devices. This year was the same. At another location in beautiful Singapore, SE announced a slew of new handsets that contribute to their Walkman, GreenHeart and Xperia ranges.

The first handset is the Cedar which is part of Sony’s eco-friendly GreenHeart range of devices. It’s a candy bar handset incorporating the company’s Human Curvature Design form. It’s designed to offer users a full range of features -

• 2.2-inch display with a 240 x 320 pixel resolution
• 3G (HSDPA), Edge/GPRS,
• Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, USB 2.0
• 2 megapixel camera
• 3.5mm handsfree socket
• microSD card support

Not everyone can afford a smartphone that’s capable of providing users with the optimal connectivity options and that integrates full PDA functionality into it. Sure there are plenty of alternatives that come close although there’s no definitive line of distinction between a standard mobile handset and a Smartphone. The handset’s operating system has a lot to do with this classification while price really has nothing to do with it. For instance Android devices and Windows Mobile handsets are automatically classified as Smartphones. Nevertheless a category of devices does fall under the Smartphone genre and they’re getting cheaper all the time.

From the endless number of products showcased at Computex 2010, some will not be coming to India, but again, some will, and very soon. Netbooks, laptops, all-in-one PCs, nettops, wireless display panels and what not, let’s take a quick look at some of products that we found interesting.
