Wireless Electricity by MIT Dudes 2007-06-13 10:01:00 Now those eggheads at MIT (massachusetts institute of technology) have done something truly magic, figuring out a way to send power seven feet away, and look ma, no wires. Their trick uses resonant coupling, turning electricity into magnetic energy resonating at a certain frequency that proved to have that old black magic.For some reason, 10MHz is that certain magic number. Resonating a coil at that frequency on one side of the room, it sends its magneto-goodness over to the other side where there's another coil that also resonates at that same 10MHz frequency. Yeah, for some strange reason, this magnetic energy is able to jump across a 7-foot space, but only at that specific 10MHz frequency. Cool.There must be a catch to this.For one thing, the power is transferred with 45% efficiency, which won't exactly be energy-saving. Also, with all those techno-power magnetic waves floating around, some crackpots will be tempted to get out their tinfoil hats, and those who believe that magnets Read more:Wireless
Mystery Bulb Lights Up While Hanging in Space 2007-06-13 02:07:00 What? Lightbulbs don't need to be screwed in any more? This picture of a mysteriously levitating lightbulb is said to be an unaltered photo of an art piece to be demonstrated at an exhibition in Barcelona later this week. A new version of an earlier prototype, the scant info released thus far tells us it's an electromagnetically levitated lightbulb, and that it's wirelessly powered.What else do we know about this seemingly supernatural feat?It's been improved over its predecessor from a couple of years ago, and its creator says it has much higher efficiency, letting the lightbulb glow brighter and use less electricity at the same time. Using those weird magnets, it's able to hang there in space, 2.5 inches above its base. Apparently, there are electromagnets inside the bulb that repel those magnets on the ceiling and floor of this installation. Read more:Mystery

Does adding more RAM to your computer make it faster? 2007-06-12 16:22:00 Up to a point, adding RAM (random access memory) will normally cause your computer to feel faster on certain types of operations. RAM is important because of an operating system component called the virtual memory manager (VMM).When you run a program such as a word processor or an Internet browser, the microprocessor in your computer pulls the executable file off the hard disk and loads it into RAM. In the case of a big program like Microsoft Word or Excel, the EXE consumes about 5 megabytes. The microprocessor also pulls in a number of shared DLLs (dynamic link libraries) -- shared pieces of code used by multiple applications. The DLLs might total 20 or 30 megabytes. Then the microprocessor loads in the data files you want to look at, which might total several megabytes if you are looking at several documents or browsing a page with a lot of graphics. So a normal application needs between 10 and 30 megabytes of RAM space to run. On my machine, at any given time I might have the follow
Internet Error Codes and Meaning 2007-06-12 13:08:00 Sometimes when you try to visit a Web site, instead of seeing what you expected, you see an error code.

Yahoo patches Messenger zero-day flaws 2007-06-10 11:24:00 Yahoo Inc. on june 7th released a new version of its Messenger
instant messaging client to patch a pair of zero-day vulnerabilities that let attackers grab control of a Windows PC with little or no help from the user. The bugs in Messenger's Webcam ActiveX controls were reported Wednesday by eEye Digital Security Inc.; within hours a researcher identified only as "Danny" had posted exploit code for both flaws on a security mailing list. A day later, Yahoo had patched Messenger, posted the new version on its site and urged everyone to download and install it. The update isn't mandatory, however. "Over the next several weeks, users worldwide will be prompted to update to a new version of Messenger upon signing into the service," a company spokesman said in an e-mail. "If you choose not to update, the vulnerability will still exist." Nor is the update automatic, which means that users with older versions of Yahoo Messenger installed, but who no longer use the IM client, may never receiv Read more:Yahoo

Beware of fake Microsoft security alerts 2007-06-10 11:21:00 With Microsoft
Corp.'s monthly patch release expected on Tuesday, scammers are sending out fake security
bulletins that attempt to install malicious software on victim's computers.The e-mail messages claim to describe a "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" that fixes a critical security flaw in the browser. It comes with a link entitled "Download this update."When users click on the link, they are taken to a server that attempts to install malicious software known as Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent.avk.This Trojan software then attempts to reach out to other computers on the Internet in order to install more programs on the victim's computer.The SANS Internet Storm Center received its first and only report of the scam on Thursday night but a second sample has also been posted to the Chinese Internet Security Response Team blog.SANS volunteer Lenny Zeltser believes that the criminals behind this scam may be gearing up for more activity. The trojan looks for three differen Read more:Beware
Kill the mouse, use the keyboard for faster program starts 2007-06-09 01:41:00 The mouse is certainly easy to use, but by far takes up time to use when you're browsing through your start menu to start a program.Instead, all of my favorite programs are mapped to my keyboard
. For example, Ctrl-Alt-W starts up Word, Ctrl-Alt-E starts up Excel, Ctrl-Alt-I starts Internet Explorer, Ctrl-Alt-C starts the calculator, X for Windows Explorer, F for Firefox, D for My Documents, K for Outlook, etc. That way, I can be in the middle of any program typing away, and start any other program almost immediately.To do this, right-click on the icon of the shortcut in your start menu, and choose Properties. In the "Shortcut Key" box, hold down your key combination of Ctrl-Alt and a letter/number, or Ctrl-Shift and a letter/number works too, so you can use letters twice depending on if they're with the Shift key or Alt key. It has to be a shortcut, not the actual .exe file, and the shortcut must be located in your start menu or desktop to work. Fast and easy!
Microsoft Office shortcuts on your keyboard 2007-06-09 01:36:00 Ctrl Z is the magic undo combo. It simply undoes your last action, say, the paragraph you accidentally erased (it works in other applications, too--try it on the Photoshop filter you really wish you hadn't applied, or after renaming a document or a folder in a Windows directory). Programs vary in the number of times you can undo something, but some will let you Ctrl Z all the way back to the beginning. (And, yes, there is a redo command, just hit Ctrl Y.)Ctrl B, Ctrl I, or Ctrl U apply bold, italics, or underline to highlighted text, respectively.Ctrl P prints whatever is in an active window.Ctrl Backspace erases an entire word at a time, instead of a letter. Ctrl up or down arrows let you scroll an entire paragraph at a time, instead of one line, and Ctrl Shift up or down arrow will select an entire paragraph.Ctrl Enter inserts a page break in Word.Alt Ctrl C inserts the copyright symbol (Alt Ctrl R inserts the registered trademark symbol, and Alt Ctrl T makes the trademark symbol).I Read more:Microsoft

's latest notebook design. In order to achieve a 0.7 inch thickness and a 2.25 pound weight, Intel hired the best designers from Ziba Design, who were instructed to build a fashionable device, able to connect to all manners of wireless networks and full of the latest, fastest computing capabilities. which is one-quarter of an inch thicker than Motorola's RAZR cellphone, making it the world's thinnest notebook.The Metro concept could also be regarded as a fashion accessory and Intel admits that this design might particularly appeal to women more than men. However,the designers say it is a unisex product and Intel wants to ensure the laptop appeals to broad range of users. As a result, Intel includes a series of interesting and innovative features. For example, the device features an always-on wireless connection, which allows users to access cellular, Wi- Read more:World

Save Web Pictures with Firefox in Different Folders Automatically 2007-06-07 03:17:00 If you wish to save a picture from some web page onto your hard drive, you generally right-click that image, browse to the local folder where you want to store the picture and click save.Firefox
, by default, will always show the last selected folder in the "Save Image As" dialog.This is fine as long as you dump all images downloaded from the internet to a single folder but the problem occurs when you are more organized and like to arrange pictures in logical folders (like pets, wallpapers, screenshots, etc)That's when the "Save Image in Folder" extension comes in handy - This extension helps you to quickly save images into different folders without having to click through your folder structure again and again.The standard Save Image dialog can be suppressed and the image downloads happen in the background. You may also add date-prefix to the file name or define any custom filenames that will auto-increment with each new download.Save Image in Folder Download Latest Version Read more:Pictures

Adobe Acrobat 8.1 for Office 2007 and Windows Vista 2007-06-06 09:54:00 Finally, after a long long wait, Adobe
today released an Acrobat
8 patch that makes this popular PDF writer compatible with Microsoft Office 2007 programs and WindowsVista
.[Sorry, but no Office 2007 update for Acrobat 7 users]Other than the new PDFmaker add-on for Office 2007, the second most exciting feature is the PDF Preview Handler - you can now view PDF files in Office Outlook 2007 as well as in Windows Explorer on Windows Vista without starting Acrobat or Adobe Reader.And like Mindjet MindManager 7, Acrobat 8.1 too sports the new Office 2007 style Ribbon UI - we are likely to see more and more vendors adapting to the new Office Ribbon especially when their application is tied to Office applications.Organizations who have shifted to Office 2007 may be desperately waiting for Acrobat 8.1 since the Save as PDF plugin, available for free from Microsoft, doesn't work with Outlook emails which is like a lifeline for most Office users.User who do not have Acrobat 8.0 Professional or S Read more:Adobe Acrobat
Remove Unwanted Clutter from Firefox Right-Click Menu 2007-06-06 09:45:00 When you do a fresh installation of Firefox
, the contextual menu (which appears when you right click) is tiny and pretty containing only the most essential menu items such Save Image, Copy Email Address, View Page Source, Copy Link Location, Search Google for, etc.But things change as you add new Firefox extensions.For instance, I have six Firefox extensions (FireBug, DownloadThemAll, JSView, ScrapBook, Yoono, FlashGot) and they have all added several new items to the right-click menu.The contextual Firefox menu wore a cluttered and extremely confusing look until I installed Menu Editor - a must have Firefox extension.As the name suggests, Menu Editor lets you rearrange (move) existing menu-items, group similar commands or remove items that you rarely use (e.g., View Page Source is useless for non-techies and they can safely hide it).You can also use the Menu Editor extension to re-arrange and trim your Firefox Menu bar on the top (that has the File, Edit, Help commands)The extension d Read more:Unwanted

Tips to protect your PC files from external attack 2007-05-29 07:45:00 Essential to peace of mind is protecting the PC and your online privacy. When connected to the web, your work and data is open to attack
s of various kinds including harmful downloads. A simple game, picture, or program may be the vehicle for malevolence. So, you need to check whether every file that you download, open, or save, is safe or whether there are irregularities of any kind.Protect your PC by:• Blocking hackers and viruses by installing the latest firewall and antivirus software. It is advisable to install a software firewall even if you have a hardware firewall in your system. A software firewall is designed to query whether or not it should permit “X,” access. The user can specify which applications can access the port and which cannot. A bi-directional firewall such as ZoneAlarm3 and Personal Firewall 5 will monitor both inbound and outbound traffic preventing Trojans and backdoor programs from functioning.• Block downloads that install unwanted programs by using th Read more:files
Alt Tab Replacement for Windows XP 2007-05-29 07:28:00 Advanced users usually switch between open windows using the keyboard shortcut ALT + TAB which is fast but has the disadvantage that only an icon is displayed which makes it impossible to distinguish between windows of the same type.

The image displays the way the Alt Tab Replacement handles this process. A small window pops up whenever you press ALT + TAB that displays the information that are shown in the image.A preview image of the current active tab will be displayed if it has not been minimized in the taskbar. Switching through the open windows displays a screenshot of the current window that would be opened.If the window has been minimized only the information in the taskbar are displayed.

Use Open DNS for lightning-fast Web browsing 2007-05-27 07:34:00 No matter how big the broadband pipe you use to surf the Web, it's not big enough. Everyone, whether they use a slowpoke dial-up modem or the fastest FiOS line, wants to surf faster.There's a simple way you can get to Web sites faster, and it won't cost you a penny. You can hack the way your PC uses the Domain Name System (DNS), the technology underlying all Web browsing. It's far simpler to do than you might imagine, as you'll see in this article.Understanding DNSBefore you start, it's a good idea to get a basic understanding of how DNS works. When you type in a URL such as www.computerworld.com, that URL needs to be translated into a numeric IP address that Web servers and Internet routers can understand. When you type in a URL, a DNS server does the translation, from www.computerworld.com to 65.221.110.98, for example.DNS servers live on the Internet, and your computer contacts them with the request to do that translation, which is commonly called name resolution. When you use Read more:lightning

Intel to Get 'Classmate PCs' to India 2007-06-15 03:31:00 Possibly inspired by Nicholas Negroponte and his $100 laptop, Intel
is reportedly now planning to bring its range of low-cost 'classmate PCs' to India
. It was sometime around the middle of 2006 that Intel brought the first 60 classmate PCs to India for a pilot test. By the end of the current year however, Intel plans to ship about 100 more such classmate PCs. The first pilot test was conducted in December 2006 at the Delhi Public School, Vasundhara. The company will start the second round of pilots most likely at Navodaya Vidyalaya, also in Delhi. A small laptop based on Intel's 900MHz Celeron-M processor, the classmate PC features a flash disk memory instead of a hard disk. As the name suggests, it is designed particularly for school going children. Significantly, sporting a price tag as low as between Rs 9,000 and Rs 11,000, Intel's classmate PC is definitely seen as a direct and dangerous competitor to the AMD-powered One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. And, the original
