Unwanted Messages On Twitter? Filttr Will Tell You What’s Worth Reading:

2009-01-28T19:43:00.017+05:30

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick. It has got a resource for information, useful links, breaking news and status messages from your friends or companies you’re interested in. But if you have a large network or if you’re following a lot of stream, it’s not easy to filter out what’s important or relevant to you from the heaps of short messages that you’re continuously being bombarded with.

Here comes to your rescue Filttr, a new project from a department of web hosting company Racked Hosting, that aims to enhance your Twitter experience with a client that automatically filters content from your followers using an algorithm dubbed FLAI (Filttr Artificial Intelligence) and offers a whole lot of additional features which might also come in handy.

When you sign up for the service ( you need to enter your Twitter credentials so that’s up to you), Filttr will analyze any data it can find based on your account settings and history in order to determine what you’re most interested in. Once the analysis is done, you’ll be presented with a timeline on a web-based or Adobe AIR powered desktop application (there’s even full support for IM and a mobile site) that essentially filters content Filttr assumes you don’t want to read.

Even if just for the extra features, you should most definitely check out Filttr if you’re a regular Twitter user.

World's Smallest Fuel Cell Could Power Your Gadgets [Fuel Cells]

2009-01-23T04:39:00.000+05:30

Chemical engineers working at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a hydrogen fuel cell that measures only 3 millimeters across. That could mean longer lasting, eco-friendly power for your gadgets.
This new cell utilizes only four components—a water reservoir and a chamber containing metal hydride separated by a thin membrane with an assembly of electrodes that conduct electricity underneath. Because of the small size of the cell, the team was able to eliminate the pump, pressure sensor, and controlling electronics that create such a power drain in typical fuel cells.
The first designs of the cell were capable of generating 0.7 volts and a current of 0.1 milliamps for 30 hours—but they claim that new versions can deliver 1 milliamp at a similar voltage

ART: Google Earth Publishes Stunning 14 GIGApixel Photos of El Prado Masterpieces

2009-01-14T03:13:00.000+05:30

One of the best things of happened in Madrid is El Prado, which has some of the most amazing paintings ever. Now you can see them in Google Earth, at a stunning 14-billion-pixel resolution.

Although there's nothing comparable—in this case, this is the closest you can get to them from anywhere in the world. In fact, you can get closerer and closerer than in front of the real thing, unless you want some Prado staff to hit you on the legs with a taser.

The amazing images are 14 gigapixels, 1,400 times the resolution of a 10 megapixel camera. As you can see in this video, Mad pixel doesn't use any special camera, but a machine-controlled digital camera and algorithms to compensate for deformation and stitch the final result. Zooming in to see the masters' technique and the detail in the painting is just mind blowing.Watch the amazing video

The Flash Drive Band keeps your files with you

2009-01-14T02:53:00.000+05:30

There have been numerous attempts at making a wearable flash drive that the general public can use and appreciate. This new Flash Drive Band will appeal to the minimalist that doesn’t need the crystal covered flash drives. It’s just a simple black bracelet, that would work for both men and women. That is of course as long as they enjoy the overall look of the bracelet. However, it does have the usual setback that comes with most wearable USB drives, it’s lacking a bit in storage space.

It features a 512mb drive, which will work for smaller files. It just all depends on what you use it for. Likely if you’re looking into a wearable USB drive, you might just be using it for numerous smaller projects throughout the day. Small USB drives do have their perks, it’s just nice to have the option to store larger files or more items on the drive. However, the drive makes up for it by having a price that won’t break the bank. It’ll cost you $29.95 .

All you do is enter your Twitter user name with no password, create the poll, and then hit the “Twitter “option and it creates a Tweet populated with the question and the link to the poll. (You can also ask via Facebook if you are signed in).

Light powered umbrella :)

2008-12-18T17:36:00.006+05:30

Light powered umbrella uses a special type of fabric that can generate electricity from rain drops. The electricity is then used to power LED's that will light your way.

Light drops looks like any ordinary umbrella, but illuminate in the dark.

If still wondering about its working here is answer for your queries

As raindrops fall on the umbrella, the potential energy caught on the umbrella’s membrane is used to generate electricity.This powers LED's embedded in the umbrella, setting off a blaze of light.Heavier rain makes it light up ever brighter. Designed by Sang-Kyan Park, the Light drops umbrella is yet to be released.

I really hope this product actually works, or will work in the future :)

Privacy ?Mobile Spy Can Now Secretly Record Your iPhone SMS, Calling Data :)

2008-12-18T17:18:00.000+05:30

Here comes a spy mobile .Mobile Spy, that fearful piece of technology that silently monitors smartphones without the user knowing, has come to the i Phone. The application, created by Retina-X Studios, runs in total stealth mode so that users don't know its even on their phones. It silently records all SMS text messages, inbound and outbound call information (including call duration) and uploads them to a private account you specify.

It's been out for a while now on Symbian and WinMo phones, but the iPhone had been left gloriously untouched until now. But now even that is solved .
But you people still wondering what is Mobile spy, then here is brief discription about it.It is totally based on software though :

Mobile Spy Smart phone Monitoring software :

Mobile Spy is the next generation of smartphone spy software. Do you suspect that your child or employee is abusing their SMS privileges? If yes, then this software is ideal for you. Install this small program onto your compatible smartphone to begin recording.

Using the Internet capabilities of your phone, recorded activities are quickly uploaded to your Mobile Spy account. To view the results you simply login to your private account at the Mobile Spy web site. Logs are displayed by categories and sorted for easy browsing.

The software is completely stealth and works independently as said earlier. Mobile Spy does not rely on the phone's call and message logs to record activities. So even if the user tries to delete their tracks, the data will still be retained and uploaded.

Lenovo Android OPhone :)

2008-12-17T11:05:00.002+05:30

Lenovo OPhone which runs the Android OS .It has got some cool features Originally coming out last week, it has a 5 MP camera with auto-focus and lash ,micro SD slot ,video recorder and Bluetooth 2.0 .I think it will go against all odds .
There is still no word on whether this will be branded under OPhone name or not. The only branding we see is the red circle with MS next to it. This is very curious branding as last time I have checked MS did not stand for Android.
From the pictures it is apparently seen that photographer enjoys rocks, as the Christmas festival is near, it is the awesome gift you can give to your beloved ones. Why i am going with this is because of the brand.
And about it release ,yet to finalise as they are generating more curiosity among customer rather than releasing into market.

WINDOWS XP “YOU MAY BE A VICTIM OF SOFTWARE COUNTERFEITING”

2008-10-17T23:48:00.005+05:30

Windows XP “you may be a victim of software counterfeiting”what to do if this pops out?

After installing your genuine copy of Microsoft Windows XP you are prompted with a “Your software is counterfeit” error message at startup it really annoys u na..but for me it really does ,so no worry here is the solution....
. Even after visiting the www.microsoft.com/genuine/ site and validating, you still get the above message popping up after 2 or 3 boots. it really annoys u na..but for me it really does ,so no worry here is the solution....
There is an easy solution to this and I would like “you” to follow the steps below to fix the issue.

Here we go:

1. C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files

* Within that folder, remove any files or folders associated with .WGA

2. Safe Mode:

* Reboot your computer and as soon as Windows logs off, start repeatively tapping the F8 Key on your keyboard.
* As soon as you see the Windows Advanced Startup options select Safe Mode within Safe Mode get yourself into these folders…
* C:\Windows\System32 (Rename “wgatray.exe” to “wgatrayold.exe”)
* C:\Windows\System32\dllcache (Rename “wgatray.exe” to “wgatrayold.exe”)
Note: Dllcache is a hidden folder, to view hidden folders do the following, go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options,
Select the view Tab and under the Hidden Files option, select Show hidden files and folders
Or type the loacation address like- C:\Windows\System32\dllcache in the address bar

3. Safe Mode Registry:

* Click on Start, Run and within the open dialog box type regedit and click OK.
* Within the Registry Editor navigate your self to
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\WGALOGON
* Right Click and Export the WGALOGON Folder (this should be saved onto your machine for backup purposes)
* After exporting the folder, DELETE the “WGALOGON” folder
* After deleting close all applications and Restart your machine back to Normal Mode

4. WINDOWS GENUINE

*click the above one and Get into the site above and manually re-validate your copy of Windows.
* After being prompt of a successful validation, Restart your Machine.

Or if the above doesn’t work..try to delete the folder which contain name with wgatray.exe in system 32 ....no other choice for you... k...

*Good luck* 

REGISTRY EDITOR TRICKS

2008-09-28T03:37:00.013+05:30

Before going for this u need to know what is registry editor or regedit.

WHAT IS REGEDIT?
Regedit, You may be thinking Regedit, what the hell is that......? or if you have a reasonable amount of experience with computers u should surely experiment with regedit or registry editor

Regedit is basically a program that lets you edit ceratin values in your computer (short for "Registry Editor"). BEWARE, DON'T JUST PLAY AROUND IN REGEDIT, SOME THINGS CAN SERIOUSLY HARM YOUR COMPUTER IF CHANGED OR REMOVED. You can do really cool things with it such as remove buttons on your computer .e.g remove the shutdown option or make a message appear at startup.

Before you do anything you will need to know how to access the program:

->So first go to your start menu
->Then click run
->Now type "regedit" without the quotes
->Regedit should open (if it doesnt contact me)

BUT BEFORE EDITING ANY THING IN REGISTRY EDITOR U NEED TO BACK UP THE REGISTRY

ADD ADMIN USER TO WELCOME SCREEN:
Start the Registry Editor Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon \ SpecialAccounts \ UserList \

Right-click an empty space in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value Name the new value Administrator. Double-click this new value, and enter 1 as it's Value data. Close the registry editor and restart.

KILL PROCESS IMMEDIATELY:
When logging off, you sometimes get an “End Task” dialog prompt, indicating a program that doesn’t shut itself down. You can suppress the prompts and have Windows kill these programs automatically when you log off. In regedit, find key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop Look for the value AutoEndTasks, and change it from 0 to 1.

UNBLOCK REGEDIT AND COMMAND PROMPT(CMD):
{Save this file is a .reg file then execute it}

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesWinOldApp]
"Disabled"=dword:0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:0

OPENING EXPLORER FROM MY COMPUTER:
By default, when you click on the My Computer icon, you get a display of all your drives, the Control Panel etc. If you would like to have this open the Explorer:
1. Open RegEdit
2. Go to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\ Shell
3 . Add a new Key named "Open" if it does not exists by right clicking "Shell" and selecting new.
4. . Add a new Key named "Command" by right clicking "Open" and selecting new
5. Set the (Default) value for the Command Key to "Explorer.exe" or "C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"

HAVE FUN :-)

Add a "Copy To" option to the right-click menu :-))

2008-09-28T02:46:00.004+05:30

In Windows, in the contextual right-click menu there is a "Send To" option but no option for "Copy To". The "Copy To" option exists, but it is disabled by default so that it doesn't show up when you right-click. If you want to add the "Copy To" menu back, you can do so with a registry hack.

BUT BEFORE EDITING ANY THING IN REGISTRY EDITOR U NEED TO BACK UP THE REGISTRY
To enable the "Copy To" option,
->run the regedit program by going to Start
-> Then Run,
->and entering regedit and hitting Enter.
Once the registry editor is open, navigate to the
->HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT + AllFilesystemObjects + shellex + ContextMenuHandlers section.
You'll see the "Send To" entry there as an entry under this.
Right-click on the "ContextMenuHandlers" entry and select New > Key from the list.

Name the new key Copy To. In the right pane, you will see an entry called “Default”, double click on thus entry and enter a value of
->{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} (yeah, the braces and everything).
Once done editing, close the registry editor.

HOW TO INCREASE THE BANDWIDTH

2008-09-25T19:36:00.004+05:30

Recover 20% Bandwidth And Increase Broadband Speed
Increase bandwidth by tweaking QoS in Windows XP Pro

The following trick applies only to Windows XP Professional edition.

The default system behavior is that all 100% bandwidth is available, however, if there is a running application that indicates to the OS it needs to send high priority/real time data, then as long as it has the socket open, Windows XP will restrict “best effort” traffic to 80% of the bandwidth so that high priority traffic can be accommodated. Basically, applications can make this request to the operating system for QoS support using the QoS application programming interfaces (APIs) in Windows and this only applies if a specific app is requesting QoS.

If you’d like to change how much bandwidth is reserved for QoS (the default is 20% of the total bandwidth), do the following:

1. Make sure you’re logged in as “Administrator” (not just any account with admin privileges).
2. Navigate to START>Run and type: gpedit.msc
3. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Network > QOS Packet Scheduler
4. In the right window, double-click the limit reservable bandwidth setting
5. On the setting tab, check the enabled setting.
6. Where it says “Bandwidth limit %”, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default. So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
7. Click OK, close gpedit.msc

Under START &goto- My Computer &goto- My Network Connections &goto- View Network Connections, right-click on your connection and under Properties (where it lists your protocols), make sure QOS Packet Scheduler is enabled.

How Do I Repair a Corrupted Word File? (Corrupted Microsoft Word Files that Won’t Open)

2008-09-16T21:24:00.007+05:30

How to repair a corrupted Microsoft Word file that would not open?

“Corrupted Word files” refers to files that you tried to open in Word, and couldn’t for some reason. Sometimes you would get a message that they are corrupted, whereas other times Word would simply say that it can’t open them.

Follow The Steps:

1. Check that the corrupted Word file name is in the format “name.doc” (where name is the name of your file, then a dot (*.*) then the extension “doc”. For example file.doc. If it isn’t, right click on the file, select “Rename” and change the file’s name to this format.

2. Some newer versions of Word (e.g. Microsoft Word 2007) have a repair option.

To see if yours does, open Word, select File–>> Open, choose the corrupted file (but don’t open it yet). You will notice that next to where it says “Open”, there is a little drop-down arrow. Click on this and change the option to “Open and Repair”, then click on it.

3. If the above didn’t work, the next option (which usually works) is to open your corrupted Word file with Open Office - a free office suite that is compatible with Microsoft Word documents. Here’s how:

- Download Open Office from OpenOffice.org - it’s completely free, but is a big download, so will take some time, depending on your connection speed.

- Click on the downloaded file to install it and follow the installation wizard.
- From your Program Files menu open “Openoffice.org Writer” (Go to
Start>> Programs>> Openoffice.org >>openoffice.org Writer)
- Now use Open office Writer to open your corrupted file (File>>open)
- Once opened, save it again using File>>Save As and ensure you

change the “Save as type” in the menu to Microsoft Word 97/2000/xp (or the version that you have).
- Open your reclaimed file in Word.

4. Still no luck? The next step is to use the free WordRepair utility as a last resort. It was free at the time of writing, and does a good job of opening corrupted Word files, but you lose all your formatting, and hence it is the last on this list.

[If all the above didn’t work, it is likely that your file is in a really bad way.]

If you are a business and it is business critical, then there are professionals who may be able to help. If your corrupted file is encrypted or password protected, then your changes are lessened still.

Good luck! -J
