E- Ball, The coming future of Computers

Mar 25, 2009

Aren’t you tired of your PC? By his ugly shape and the way that it looks? Well, this is exactly what designer Apostol Tnokovski was feeling when he decided to create the smallest PC ever made. It’s not going to be like a PDA, it’s going to be a PC with all conventional components (mouse, keyboard, normal screen).

The concept PC is called E-Ball and it’s shaped like a sphere because in Tnokovski’s opinion this is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody’s attention.

Also, the E-Ball PC supports a paper holder and the paper sheet on the holder could act like a screen where you can watch movies or something. This concept PC will measure 160mm in diameter and it was designed for Microsoft Windows OS, sorry about the others. For the moment there is no word on pricing or when it’s going to be available, however, I am sure that everybody would like to see a small spherical PC like this one.

Gtalk all Tricks n Tips

Mar 21, 2009

All most all of you have already switched to Gtalk, and started chatting there, you might also know some tips and tricks of it like how to type in bold, italics etc... I have collected all the tips and tricks (most of them) of Gtalk at one place

Change the font size - While holding the control key, move the scroll wheel on your mouse either up or down.
Insert line breaks - If you want to insert a line or write multiple paragraphs, than just hold shift and hit enter. You can add as many new lines as you want to create.
Bold Text - To write in bold, just type something like this *this* .
Italic Text - To write in italics, use an underscore before an after the word, like _this_ .
Switch windows - if you are chatting to one or more buddys than just press tab to cycle the window through them.
A message can be 32767 characters long.

Some advanced Tips

More than one instance of GTalk- If you have several Gmail accounts you can also run multiple instances of Google Talk. This is called Google Polygamy. To know how to do that follow the steps below:

Right-click on the desktop
Select New > Shortcut
Paste this into the text box: "c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex
Click Next and choose a shortcut name such as New Talk, Google Talk etc...
Click Finish.

Commandlines- (Taken from rahulhackingarticles.wetpaint.com)

There are a few secret parameters you can add to Google Talk and make it function differently. The most important, I think, is /nomutex, which allows you to run more than one instance of GT.

/forcestart: same as /autostart, but forces it to start no matter what option was set.
/S upgrade: Used when upgrading Google Talk
/register: registers Google Talk in the registry, includig the GMail Compose method.
/checkupdate: check for newer versions
/plaintextauth: uses plain authentication mechanism instead then Google's GAIA mechanism. Used for testing the plain method on Google's servers.
/nogaiaauth: disables GAIA authentication method. The same as above.
/factoryreset: set settings back to default.
/gaiaserver servername.com: uses a different GAIA server to connect to Google Talk. Used for debug purposes only, there are no other known GAIA servers.
/mailto email@host.com: send an email with Gmail
/diag: start Google Talk in diagnostic mode
/log: probably has something to do with the diagnostic logging
/embedding: To add these, open up your GT shortcut, and where it says "Target:" add one or more of these inside the quotations, but after the .exe part. ere are the others:
/nomutex: allows you to open more than one instance of Google Talk
/autostart: when Google

To initiate the GTalk with the above given commands follow the steps given above and change the /nomutes entry with whichever command you wants.

"c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex

go to Start > Run

and type full path with command like below -

"c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex

Keyboard Shortcuts-

Ctrl + E - It centralizes the selected text, or the current line.

Ctrl + R - It justifies to the right the selected text, or the current line.

Ctrl + L - It justifies to the left the selected text, or the current line.

Ctrl + I - The same thing does that Tab.

Tab - It is giving the area to each of the windows opened by Google Talk.

Ctrl + Tab - The same thing does that Shift + Tab .

Ctrl + Shift + L -Switch between points, numbers, letters, capital letters, roman numbers and capital roman numbers

Ctrl + 1 (KeyPad) - It does a simple space between the lines.

Orkut is blocked?

Mar 10, 2009

In my college Orkut, Twitter, and other social networking sites are blocked, this is not the problem with me alone you guys have also faced such similar problem in your school, college or work place. So in this tutorial i will tell you how to unblock these sites not only orkut but any site that your administartor has blocked, without letting them know.

Ok lets begin our tutorial-

What you need?

Nothing!!!

There are a lot of ways to open these restricted sites but the easier ones are Proxy

well these are just tip of the iceberg there are thousands such proxy sites which can help you to access the blocked sites.

Oh now you were thinking what if your college, or office admin block these proxy sites also than also no problem just visit here. Here is a long list of proxy sites availaible and its impossible to block all of them, even if they somehow manage to do this impossible task (may be they are GOD), then also if you just google around there's a wide range of never ending proxy's thus no need to worry.

You can use URL redirection technique

You can use URL redirecting services like Tiny URL and Short URL

Actually what happened when you type a url on address bar, then if a software or any firewall is configured to block that site it get its url from address bar check it and if it find it the blocked one it restrict your access. Suppose you typed www.orkut.com and if this url is present in firewall list than it will block it so just go to tinyurl.com and get your tinyurl from there and then type it in address bar now you can access the site.

If you faced any difficulty please let me know i will sort that out in no time

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO?

This is a greatly reduced installation of Windows XP Professional SP3

Please read these notes BEFORE using this edition of Windows:

SINGLE USER ONLY

NO NATIVE SUPPORT FOR FTP SITES

NO VISITING WINDOWS UPDATE

NO FAST USER SWITCHING

NO PASSWORD STORAGE/AUTOCOMPLETE

NO CD-ROM AUTOPLAY

NO SCHEDULED TASKS

NO REMOTE DESKTOP

NO THEMES

Ok thats it only the featured thing are restricted but now all other services are opened for you to name a few-

WHAT YOU CAN DO-

PROGRAMS

You can still install and run just about all the programs and games that you can run on a normal installation of XP. There is a text file in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs that work and includes some that don#039;t work (not many). Even Office

2007 installs on this version of Windows

GAMES

Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of Windows I have ever tested.

LAN NETWORKING

At last - MicroXP now has the ability to browse your local network. All you need to know is the computer name of the computer you want to connect to and thats about it, just right click My Computer and choose Map Network Drive. All computers can see each other even if every computer in the network is running this MicroXP.

CAMERAS AND SCANNERS

Now in MicroXP it is possible to use a digital camera (USB only, no Firewire) or a scanner. Tested and working with a Fuji FinePix 6MP camera. The Photo Printing Wizard is not included, neither is the wizard to download photos from the internet, but the rest of the functionality for cameras and scanners is as complete as in full Windows. My favourite saying: whats missing, you#039;re not gonna miss! Print photos with Photoshop or maybe even Irfanview. Ctrl+P to print works in every single program that supports it, so its not like we ever needed the photo printing wizard, which only ever made all images I fed through it A4, even small images, so it actually did not even work, unless I skipped a button but there really are no buttons to skip in that wizard, its useless.

DIAL-UP CONNECTION

You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem). This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems, a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM with 4Mb graphics cards.

WEB BROWSER

This installation already includes a basic web browser called Browzar that uses a few core files left from Internet Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select files included in this installation that come from Internet Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do in this edition of Windows. This Browzar web browser is only here so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD, but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.

PASSES WGA CHECKS

If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft#039;s downloads section, you will need to validate windows by running the GenuineCheck.exe file that Microsoft asks you to download as part of the Windows Genuine Advantage checks. Its fine to do this, don#039;t be scared of your key being blacklisted.

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 11

You can install Windows Media Player 11 in this edition of Windows.

NOTE: Because the file WMPLOC.DLL is not in system32, Windows Media Player 11 will say that it could not complete setup or words to that effect. IGNORE THIS ERROR! Windows Media Player 11 is fully working after you install it and get that error, Windows Media Video type formats stream in Opera and Firefox still - so you can ignore that installation error. Just make sure if you install Windows Media Player 11 to have the Cryptographic Services service enabled. Windows Media Player 11 needs that service started to install. After installing Windows Media Player 11 you can then disable Cryptographic Services if you wish, like a lot of stuff in Windows, it doesn#039;t really do anything important.

FLASH

If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special MicroXP edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just watch the videos right away.

Look at the complete installation here it just takes 5 minutes to install

and it takes 6 seconds to boot
