How to Send Self-Destructive Message along with Google Docs

Interest in sending mail, text, or even audio or video in an encrypted so that it self-destructs after a certain amount of time once the user has read and just vanishes. Facilities like this are provided by many apps, but now provided by Google Docs. Since this is going to be provided by Google your messages will be in a more secured way.

Google Docs

Want to try it with your friends, here send a tricky message to person who has a Gmail account. Make up with a self-destructing spread sheet to share with them whenever you needed. Now you may arise a query that how long this message will appear to the person who reads this. Professional explains this query just by a simple Google Apps Script, which will make clear that how much time you need them to appear.
If it is hard for you to create a spreadsheet with script already embedded, you visit some sites and make a download to it. Plans to do on your own, codes are available you can download in websites.

Web

If your recipient is not using Gmail don’t worry, some other option are available to perform this magic. Plenty of services are available on the web to perform self-destructive in private links. And this is not usually available to everyone at ease. Some of the sites that avails this is OneShar.es. At this site you can perform your take at ease.

Benefits of Hard Drive Encryption

Hard drive encryption is a process that renders the contents of your hard disk virtually unreadable to anyone who does not hold the so-called key to unlock it. No, there's not actually a lock and key. Rather, data protection software is used to encrypt and de-crypt the data. Once encrypted, your data will look like meaningless gibberish to unauthorized users such as thieves and hackers.
Why use data protection software to encrypt your hard disk? Hard drive encryption can deliver numerous benefits. Below are just a few:

• Peace of mind - Knowing that a thief can steal your laptop but can't touch your data can bring you peace of mind should your computer become lost or stolen.
  
• Regulatory compliance - Depending on your business, hard drive encryption may help you to comply with various security and privacy regulations.
  
• Corporate data protection - What types of corporate secrets do your computers store? From trade secrets and client lists to confidential financial information, your company's computers hold a wealth of information that should be protected from thieves and casual users alike. Hard drive encryption can ensure that your company's most confidential data remains private.
  
• Accidental data disclosure - Have you ever dropped off an old laptop at the local e-recycling facility? If so, did you destroy the hard disk by wiping it clean with data protection software and then physically smashing it with a sledge hammer? Unfortunately, recycled hard disks can make their way into the hands of unsuspecting consumers (or data thieves). You can avoid potential problems with hard drive encryption.
  
• Reputation management - You've likely heard horror stories of stolen company laptops containing sensitive customer information such as credit cards or passwords. Not only can hard drive encryption protect customer information, it can protect your company from embarrassment and bad publicity. If your company is subject to regulatory compliance, hard drive encryption may protect you from liability and penalties as well.
  

Protect your data with data protection software that encrypts the contents of your hard disk and enjoy the benefits.

• OAuth tool tab is an option available in Application and try to switch over. Then make a note of the customer Key and consumer Secret, because these things will be later on needed in Google Apps Script.

Proceed to Step B: Create a WolFarm Alpha App

• Twitter App will monitor the tweets and have a respond to tweet, while Wolfarm App used to find out answer that user tends to post to your Twitter bot.

• To work out with Wolfarm you have to create an account. For this procedure visit developer.wolfarm.com. Generate an account and then choose Get an App ID to generate new app.

• Nothing proceed now will go in vein. Creating new account in Wolfarm will help later on in Google script. You can purchase a full or free version, on free version it works only a non-commercial purpose, so you have to make a note of this.

Guidelines for creating Twitter Bot with abcd is that 

• You have a send a mail to businessdevelopment@abcd.com to deal up regarding license. Queries can be made to @DearAssistant at the rate of 2,000 per month.

Proceed to Last Step: 

• Clear to have a copy of Twitter Bot in your device. And re-enter the values of Twitter Consume key with Twitter Consumer Secret and also the Twitter Handle.

• Initialize the Twitter Bot through Run. On Authorization access to Google Script Service provide yes.

7 Easy and Free Ways to Repair Your Computer At Home

Do you have to repair your computer but don’t have the money and time it takes to be a professional? That’s alright—this can help you fix the seven most common problems for free using the resources that are already available at your home.

1—Run the Anti-Virus

A large number of the problems exist in the modern computers that are caused by viruses slow performance, stalled downloads, and strange errors are all symptoms of the modern computing.

If you already have an anti-virus program installed, it is not guaranteed that it will catch each and every virus before it infects your system. Just like virus in the real world, sometimes computer viruses build enough resistance to get past your defenses.

However, the manufactures of anti-virus software are updating their software to find latest virus constantly, if you run a full disk scan using the anti-virus software, you may find some any active infections.

2—Clean Your Registry

This piece of advice applies especially to the old versions of Windows and computers which had seen a lot of change over the last year.

Each and every time you make an important change in your computer, Windows will update the Registry such as Installing programs, Uninstalling programs, modifying major settings, and a few more things will add information to the Windows Registry without even cleaning it.

As your Registry gets full, it stops to perform well. It slows down the computer, it also gets confused and also even causes conflicts, and it can even crash and take your computer down.

Cleaning the Registry is an easy task and there are plenty of freeware programs available which help you.

3—Safe Mode

Most of the people I’ve talked on this subject seem to have no idea what a safe mode is for. Do you know it? The solution is to fixing major problems with Windows by shutting down some default / primary actions.

Suppose for Instance:

• It prevents programs from starting up automatically, if the problem exists in one of them, you will get to know it immediately.

• It also won’t load any drivers for the most non-essential hardware, if the problem exists in hardware, you will get to know it immediately.

• It can also help you discover the damage caused by the virus, I hope your anti-virus software is well equipped to deal with them.

To enable safe mode, press and hold the F8 key when your computer starts to boot.

4—Blame Windows

Most often the problem with your computer is the operating system, Windows. It does not mean Microsoft has messed it up—it could be that a virus had deleted an important file.

Diagnosing a problem in Windows from within Windows can be challenging task. What you will need is an outside authority—such as Linux.

You can also download it from “Live” Linux CD which will not install anything on your computer but will boot the Linux from the CD (or DVD) which is in your disc drive. I suggest you to use Ubuntu:

Go to the Ubuntu website using a computer, download the current CD or DVD, whatever you prefer (DVDs have more tools but take longer to download), burn the CD or DVD, and insert it in your computer. Reboot your computer and check if it works.

If Linux can get your computer working, then there is nothing wrong with your hardware—then there is something wrong with your Windows, then try the next step.

5—Reinstall Windows

In Windows 95 and 98 days, we usually used to reinstall Windows once a year to keep things going smoothly. The great thing about Windows XP was that it was stable for much longer periods. If a problem occurs in Windows which you cannot be fixed by any way, reinstalling Windows was the best option.

It is necessary to backup all of your important data before you start reinstalling the Windows. If the computer does not boot Windows, use the Linux method specified above to access your data and copy them to an external HDD, or remove the hard drive out of the computer and use an external HDD adapter to copy the data to another computer.

After backing up the data start the reinstallation of windows by inserting the disk in the disk drive and follow the instructions to reinstall windows.

6—Blowing Your Problems Away

If the problem exists with the computer hardware and not the software, there is not much we can do. Most of the modern electronic equipment’s are non-serviceable, so if it’s broke it is just a piece of junk. But there is one way is to bring them back to life is to blow them away.

Blow them away means is to blow the dust of the equipment. Dust is one of the powerful insulators similar to that of wood which is used to retain heat inside the home by not letting the cold into the home in winter season.

When dust holds the heat inside the equipment in turn it makes the equipment’s to malfunction and eventually fail. Most of the modern equipment’s are designed to work only up to 35 Celsius or 110 Fahrenheit before automatically shuts off to prevent fire or severe damage.

Getting rid of the dust will help the parts to function properly. But the parts that have severely damaged due to heat will eventually fail, so don’t expect miracles to happen by blowing the dust away.

To get rid of the is to cover your eyes with a handkerchief and blow air to get rid of the dust without spitting but if you have a vacuum cleaner at home put the cleaner into blow mode and blow the dust away.

Alternatively, you can also buy cans which have compressed air to blow off the dust of the equipment’s.

7—Your Last Resort

If any of the above mentioned advices helped you then it is necessary that you call the manufacturer. Most of the manufactures have a toll free number and it would not cost you a penny for the call. Feel free to call them and get the help of the technical support and even after that the problem persists then they can service your computer for free.

Feel Safe with a Compliance Management System

In every industry, there are regulations in place to foster a safe and healthy working environment. Even an office building will be an inhospitable place to work if certain precautions are not taken, while industrial worksites are obvious hazard zones. For every field there are regulatory boards issuing standards to which firms must comply if they are to maintain accreditation and licensing. These standards are there to protect employees.

Managing Compliance

Keeping up with the rules could be harder than it sounds. Some firms set out to do the right thing, then find out they are only scratching the surface of what they have to be doing to ensure the safety of workers. This is when a compliance management system becomes a business owner's best friend.

Managing the safety aspect of work is frequently accomplished using software these days. Customizable programs enable clients to improve and maintain safety and play by the rules in a short time. This saves clients from hiring consultancy teams and having their place of business audited in person. Such an alternative would cost more money and take longer than referring to a CMS.

Compliance Management System Features

Clients choose programs for particular industries featuring online training modules. A staff member cannot say he watched videos or read text without having done so: there are tests which prove ability and suggest missing pieces in a company's, a team's, or an individual's knowledge of safety practices. The highest standards in a field are used as the yardstick against which managers gauge employee safety.

Auditing

How do you know if you are failing to protect your team? You know because the system audits your safety compliance. Take the classes, the tests, and answer the questionnaires. A compliance management system is a teacher of sorts. As in a classroom, there are times of learning followed by reporting. You will soon see what measures you could take to improve, both practically and legally. Learn what you are good at, how to improve, and how to maintain a no-accident record at work.

The problem for some industries is that they forget rules change as events happen. As a result of accidents and insurance claims, new information is gathered leading to new regulations that protect employees and employers.

These include things like preventing falls, electric shock, or repetitive strain injuries. Changes might have to do with air quality and disposal of chemicals. Scientific research and statistics continue to shed light on how a professional environment can hurt people down the road in unexpected ways. Examples include the installation of non-supportive furniture in an office, poor lighting, or improper waste disposal.
Action, not Reaction

For the small investment you make in software of this kind, you potentially save yourself millions in liability and lots of time, thanks to a user-friendly product.

The latest software does not require a team of IT professionals to run it or provide training. Set it up and get started, receiving plans for how to proceed with training and improvement. Establish programs that line up with regulatory bodies at any level of government.

How to enable God mode in Windows 7 and Vista

Wondering what’s a God mode? You might have heard the term “God Mode” probably in video games. If you haven’t heard about it it’s no big deal, but we all have used it in games without our knowledge. It’s a mode in games where we can boost our life. Remember the cheat code in Vice city that boosts our life when we need it most? It is known as God mode.

Well this God mode is kind of different when it comes to OS. God mode provides a centralized control over your OS. Wouldn’t it be nice to get the entire OS under your control with the help of a single folder? Well God mode helps in providing you with such a feature.

Actually God Mode used to be a hidden administrative shortcut.

Interesting right? Wanna enable god mode in your Windows 7 OS or Vista? Just follow these simple steps to activate it.

Enabling God mode isn’t a big and tough job.

• First create a folder anywhere you like. It may be in your desktop or your C or D colon anywhere you prefer. But Desktop is quite ok.
• Now right click the folder and rename it as God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (copy it and paste it)
• Now this folder of yours gets converted to a control panel icon and the numbers in it also gets disappeared. You’ll get an icon as shown.

• Now you’ve enabled God Mode. Your process is complete.
• Open the panel to get a view inside.
• You’ll get a view as follows.

• Now all your administrative settings are arranged in a single icon. • Go and explore and change your settings as per your wish.
• Some may think keeping a folder where all your settings are present is not safe. There’s no need to worry if you’ve created such a file. You can move it or delete the folder too.
• There may be a question now. Should it be named only as God mode? The answer is NO. Not necessary. You can also rename it with your name but the numbers should be present.
• It’s referred as God mode since it is suitable for the work it does.

There are enormous amount of god modes in case of windows 7. They serve for each and every different purpose. There are different codes for biometric settings, firewall security etc. God mode enable your tasks to be less complicated. Is it better to access any setting by going into the control panel and searching for it or just going into a single folder where all your options exist? Choose for yourself.

Here are the other list of numbers that can enable all sorts of god modes in your Windows 7.

Now in case of Vista the process is similar. The god mode started to work from Vista version alone. It doesn’t seem to work in the previous versions.

But there is a story behind God mode. We know that it’s an Administrative shortcut. But we don’t know who actually developed it. Some say it’s a work by bloggers while the Microsoft Corporation still maintains it as a secret.

So before enabling God mode in your Vista know about your OS, whether is it a 32 or 64 bit. This is necessary because, Vista 64-bit PC’s has been crashed after enabling Mode. But it is supported by Windows 7. So it’s advisable for Vista 64-bit OS not to enable the God Mode.

New Mac Pro Available But May Cost More!

The new Mac Pro will not miss the holiday season. Apple has just announced its availability for the market. The machine assembly in the United States is appealing with its original cylindrical design and specifications racing machine that will interest specialists video or graphics.

This Mac Pro comes in two basic configurations. The first an Intel quad-core Xeon E5 clocked at 3.7 GHz, 12 GB of RAM DDR3 1866 MHz , a 256 GB SSD and 2 cards AMD FirePro D300. Available for a price of 3000 Euros. The second offers Intel Xeon 6 cores clocked at 3.5 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and 2 cards AMD FirePro D500. The rate is 3999 Euros.


As usual, Apple has options to boost the internal storage (up to 1TB), speed (up to 12 processor cores and up to 64GB RAM) obviously making up the bill significantly. The Mac Pro is a racing whose acquisition is a good investment. Once checked all the main options the base price can be multiplied by five. In Apple's PC catalog, the MacPro is a star. This machine is finally available for sale, is closer to the workstation from the computer.

This is undoubtedly one of the world's most powerful machines. It has an Intel Xeon E5 processor 6, 8 or 12 cores, two graphics cards with 6GB of VRAM each units of Flash storage up to 1TB Thunderbolt connection. In short, it is a PC mainly for professional more than the office. And to better attract pro, it also offers a unique design that makes it even more attractive.

Completely redesigned by teams Jonathan Ives, the boss of Apple design, the Mac Pro displays a cylindrical shape which has played a lot in its popularity. Performance and design at a price. Two models are offered by Apple: a quad model 3000 Euros and 4000 Euros.

To make these more powerful machines, some options are needed. We’ve added enough to make a Mac Pro with a war machine:

Xeon E5 12 12 cores at 2.7 GHz with 30 MB L3 cache (3,500 Euros)

64GB RAM ECC DD3 to 1866 MHz (1300 Euros)

1TB PCIe Flash storage (800 Euros)

Two graphics cards AMD FirePro D700 with 6 GB of GDDR5 VRAM

The base price is of 3000 Euros, but the price has now reached € 9 599. It will still make a little effort for a mouse, the Magic Mouse Apple sold 69 Euros, and a keyboard with numeric keypad which cost 49 Euros extra, however. a little calculation shows 9,717 Euros including VAT and have a fully functional machine competition.

Remains possible to buy a license for one of the three professional software house: Final Cut Pro X (270 Euros), Logic Pro X (180 Euros) and Aperture (70 Euros). We are now a little more than 10,237 Euros. However, the addition price tag of the Apple website can continue to climb. The Mac Pro is the standard machine designed for video editing 4K.

It is therefore logical to adopt at least one monitor that supports HD Ultra. Add 4,000 Euros for a 4K Ultra HD LED PN- K321 32-inch Sharp signed. Small sub- total, we are 14 236 Euro. Since you paid a substantial sum, both opt for Apple Care extended warranty to 249 Euros. Total: 14,485 Euros. The invoice is little bitterer to your pocket.

 It can be more, if you want to offer production conditions more comfortable and safe. Video editing often uses berries production Raid. Apple offers on its website, the bay offers from April to August racks. In our mad rush, opt for the high end model with 32 TB Promise Raid systems Pegasus2 R8, 4500 Euros.

The server connects Thunderbolt 2, adding a cable, black or white, two-meter, 39 Euros. You now have spent another 18 to 973 Euros. Leaving aside the one-to -one training, one can imagine that if you made such a big check, you do not need to be trained to use a professional machine. However, this does cost you 100 Euros for a year. Let's also ignore the Airport Time Capsule 3TB, 450 Euros. That would be vice ... The total is still far from the first Mac Pro sold.

How to install Windows 7 using USB

You don’t necessarily need an OS CD to install your OS into your computer. USB is more than enough. The activity is similar of transferring files to your computer but that can’t say it’s an easy job. Installing OS is a matter of patience.

Top 5 qualities of a great Smart TV

“Smart Technology” is an interesting technology that has been infiltrating into human life and contributes to the welfare and development of human society. Smart technology creates a new environment that is pleasing and more comfortable to every human being.

In the earlier days, phones were used only for talking purpose. Smart phones help you to anything within your hands. Similarly smart Televisions have created a great impact in our lives. The slim size and large screen provides a feeling of watching a movie in the theatre. And not to mention its HD picture Quality adds a feather to its cap.

Seeing a Smart TV ad makes you to buy one right? You would’ve been in awe when they explain the features in it. You might of even having one while you see those kinda Ads.

If you’re interested in buying a smart TV then this article might assist you. Buy any Smart TV from any company you wish coz I’m not gonna mention the company names. This article doesn’t do marketing for any company. There may be a variety of smart TV’s such as HDTV, 3DTV but lemme list you the 5 basic qualities that you should remember while buying any smart TV.

1. Resolution: 

Resolution means picture quality. For this purpose smart TV’s use crystal clear LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) and LED displays. All smart TV’s possess the quality of High Definition (HD). LCD screens were first used in smart TV’s since they added HD technology to pictures.

Later LED displays are more effective when it comes to resolution compared to LCD displays. This uses LED lights and had more advantages compared to LCD’s.

Moreover LED displays are eye-pleasing than LCD’s. Has the best color reproducibility with great contrast settings. Settings can be adjusted to movie quality too.

2. Salient Features: 

Salient features differ for each and every smart TV but fundamentally all smart TV has features like connecting Laptops, pen-drives, memory cards. These provide smart functionality hence the name.
It’s different than conventional TV’s existing from the decades in size too. Its slim and big screen are best suited for movies and it does not occupy too much of space too. It can be fitted on walls to for our convenience purpose.

3. Unique features:

Additionally each product has its own unique feature. For e.g. Sony Bravia has high efficient 4K speakers. Accessories are also present for each TV. 3D TV’s provide 3D effect. Some TV’s go green by emitting less radiation.

Moreover Internet can be accessed similar to a computer.

4. Sound quality: 

Sound quality of smart TV’s has been improved like the picture resolution. Stereo sound accompanying high quality resolution image pleases the watcher. The effect will be similar in watching a movie in a theatre.
The TV’s also possess sound settings where we can change it and adjust to any Mode. For e.g. Movie mode, Standard mode etc. are available in all TV’s.

5. Services/Warranty: 

Choose the best company that provides the best warranty and where the service centers are more easily available. Initial cost might be high but it’s always worth it.

These are the basic qualities of any smart TV. Hope you have an idea about the smart TV’s now.

4 Things to look for when buying a Printer

Having a thought of buying a new printer? So let me cut to the chase and give you some tips about buying one.

First let’s get a rough idea about printer and its cost and types.

1. Inkjet: 

Most commonly used and they cost only a dime a dozen. Most of the people are interested in ink-jet as they are suitable for most of the works. Additional features can be performed such as coping, scanning and also Fax.

2. Laser: 

If you need speed and the best high quality image then my suggestion would be laser printers. Cost of tem is quite high when compared to Ink-jets.

3. All-in-one 

These types of printers provide you to work simultaneous works such as scan, copy and fax at once. However the feature of these kinds of printers has been upgraded to the current trends.

4. Wireless: 

These are the current generation printers where printers can be accessed and operated from your smart-phones and tablets.

5. Home/Office Printers: 

These printers can withstand heavy loads and are often used for printing texts alone. Their speed is high but the features compared to other are less.

So now you are ready to choose the type of printer and so let’s come to the 4 features that are most important when you’re buying the printers. 

Technology: 

Modern printers have Wi-Fi supports and some even mail you the print your e-mails. They also have USB compatibility which adds a feather to its cap.

So these printers can work for Windows 98/XP/7 and Mac8.1 and higher versions.

Choose the most updated and current trendy kind of printers so that might make things easy for you to work with.

Resolution: 

Resolution also known as DPI (Dots per Inch) gives you the space between the two dots in a printer. Resolution is a fundamental factor when it comes in buying a printer. Higher the resolution better will be its performance.

Speed: 

Speed is another basic need. You wouldn’t wait for hours to print 5 pages. Would you? The volume of print-out i.e. (pages per minute) is an essential factor to be considered if you’re printing a large number of data.

Of course the speeds of the current printer are good but make a comparison study and see what’s best for you.

Ink and Toners: 

Cheap toners cause streaky and blotchy and faded prints. The quality of printers mainly depends on the Ink and Toner selection.

In case of replacement of these Toners, Counterfeit Toners might weaken your printers. And sometimes it can leak and spoil all the papers and causes a jam during printing. Also disposal of these Toner Cartridges are Hazardous.

It’s advisable to use only original company Toners such as HP Toners to preserve the nature and quality of printers and your prints too.

Hope you’ve got what you want. Now off you go and get the printer of your need. Make sure you have selected the best printer by comparing the various things which are given in the above paragraphs.

Cloud Computing for Startups

Cloud Computing for Startups

While many of you may be aware of the ‘Cloud’, not everyone knows of the importance and benefits of cloud computing for startup businesses. The representation of cloud computing for an average computer user is usually in the form of websites such as ‘Google’, ‘Dropbox’, ‘Amazon’, etc. Surely, we have come a long way from floppy disks to storing data on virtual servers that are remotely accessible anywhere in the world.
The three important variations of cloud computing include IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. A brief summary of the three is given below:

IaaS

IaaS is Infrastructure as a Service. It eliminates the need for purchasing expensive equipment as the functions of such equipment are outsourced. These elements could include servers, hard disks, networking equipment, etc. With IaaS, organizations can store their data on servers of other companies, but it is accessible everywhere through dedicated connections that provide rapid speed.

PaaS

Instead of setting up software on each computer or server in an organization, businesses often use Platform as a Service (PaaS). It enables installation of software and other applications on a remote server so they can be accessed throughout an organization with excessive convenience.

SaaS

There are certain software that may not be frequently used in organizations but may be required by a number of personnel every once in a while. Instead of purchasing multiple licenses for a software in exchange for enormous finances, Software as a Service (SaaS) facilities allow businesses to pay per use. Furthermore, it removes the restriction on the number of computers that can use a software at once.

 

Benefits of Cloud Computing for Startup Businesses

There are numerous benefits of cloud computing for startup businesses, in fact cloud computing has become a necessity for startup businesses in order to survive in the modern business world. The advantages of using cloud computing include:

Security

The security provided on cloud servers is simply unmatched by that of organizational infrastructure. With state-of-the-art technology and encryption tools, valuable data of an organization can be stored in the safest locations. The data can even be password locked, eliminating any chances of unauthorized access. Also, the data is backed-up which provides a surety that information would not be lost.

Finances

Even though purchasing infrastructure that is used by cloud computing services would also provide organizations with the same facilities, the cost difference would be gigantic. In fact, the cost of using cloud computing services is practically negligible in comparison to purchasing equipment. For startup businesses, capital is a valuable resource and needs to be allocated effectively.

Time

Since cloud computing services are externally managed, they considerably diminish the need for personnel as well as time. More goals can be achieved in lesser time, which is crucial for startup businesses.

Less Training

While using cloud computing services, there is hardly any hardware involved other than the usual computers. Organizations do not have to spend resources in training their staff about the hardware or software use. Every application is ready to be executed.

In the recent years, it has been seen that cloud based businesses have been taking over the market dramatically. For growth with minimal risks involved, the use of cloud computing services by startup businesses is a win-win situation.

Windows 8.2 Rumors: New Start Menu Back

Windows 8.2 gets the start menu back. The next major Windows update code-named "Threshold" to be completed in the spring of 2015 and put back more to the classic Windows. Unconfirmed, but very authentic, rumored to be the familiar Start menu should come back to facilitate the users to switch from Windows 7.

In addition to Metro style apps that do not run only in full screen mode, but can also be used on the desktop in a window. Whether the tile surface can be completely banish from a desktop PC at the request or the user can select when setting up his favorite surface is not fixed yet. Already an interim update for Windows 8.1 is intended to give the beginning of 2014 is planned.

Here, it is speculated, Microsoft could already integrate a mini- version of the start menu that provides access to the main functions. In future versions of Windows, Microsoft is supposed to take a three-pronged strategy that is "modern" look, which is to run on Smartphones and tablets, along with a classic desktop version and a version for commercial use.

The desktop version could then come along completely without Metro Painting, the business version, in contrast, offer a choice or operate both worlds parallel. To save development work and also to bring new releases to market faster, the three new versions of Windows is to share a kernel. Who uses Windows 8 or 8.1 and without the classic start menu cannot do, need not have to wait for the next version of Windows.

Already there are numerous tools that bring the classic start menu to the desktop, such as Shell or Classic Start Menu 8 Who else wants to try, since Metro style apps more fun in windowed mode, Modern Mix can use. But that is only free for 30 days. The revived with 8.1 start button leads to the controversial startup screen, which was introduced with Windows 8.

How to lock a folder without Software?

Sharing your PC with another person? Feel your files are being looked upon by them? Or are you being spied by your own sibling. It irritates you right. You can think about hiding the files but you are not interested in downloading software for this purpose alone right?

Everything processes needs software now. You might have seen the AppLock software in your Android phones. We can lock any folder with the help of this software alone. But in case of computers there are some default operations provided by our own computer which we don’t know.

The most common and widely used method to lock a folder using Note Pad;

• Using Notepad: 

Do you know locking a folder can be done using our own Note Pad file? The biggest advantage of this method is that you don’t need internet connection for this method. So this is applicable to all OS’s.
The process is very simple and easy too. Just follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Open your Note Pad file. Copy the following code and Paste in it.

cls :
END
@ECHO OFF
title worldtech360 Folder lock /*replace with your desired title */
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker 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 Locker "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%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
" ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER md Locker echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Now you’ll get a window like this.

Step 2: Save the file with .bat extension. While saving you’ll get a window like this right?

Save it as “locker.bat” and save it to “All files” as shown.

Step 3: Now close your Note-Pad file. You can see an image in the desktop. It’ll be present as an icon as shown

Step 4: Double click on the icon the file will Run and a Private folder will be created right beside it as shown above.

Step 5: All you’ve to do now is move all your files to the private folder.

Step 6: After you’ve moved your files run the locker.bt file again.

There your files are safe and secure now. Nobody can enter the file without your Password.
There’s also another alternative method using the same Note Pad method.

Step 1: First create a folder anywhere in your desired location. Create a folder that is similar to the control panel folders, say for e.g. Mouse

Step 2: Create a notepad file and type the following code in it.
ren Mouse Mouse.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
Save it with .bat as its extension. Save it in the same location where your “Mouse” folder exists.
This code locks the file. And you can move the data that you want to hide from others.

Step 3: To unlock the folder type and save the following code with .bat extension.
renMouse.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} Mouse
When you run this key file you can unlock the folder.
But preferring the first method is better than that of the latter method. Coz your files can be accessed only after entering the password.

SmartLoc software for Android Smartphones

Four researchers have developed SmartLoc software for Android Smartphones, which will double the positioning in navigation devices, especially in cities virtually. It also saves battery power. These four researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and Tsinghua University in Beijing have developed SmartLoc intelligent software that optimizes the GPS navigation in large cities. In the downtown area, the position determinations by satellite are frequently disturbed by tall buildings.

Conventional devices then determine the position with accuracy of about 40 meters. With SmartLoc, the localization accuracy can almost be doubled. As soon as GPS reception is insufficient, SmartLoc employ the motion sensor of a smart phone instead of GPS in order to calculate the position relative to the last given location via GPS.

The individual movement patterns that occur to the left or right, for example, while crossing a bridge, when braking or accelerating after the turn, are stored in a database and with the current data of the motion sensor and card material, such as Google Maps, then it is adjusted accordingly. When the GPS reception is good, the measurements of the motion sensor are compared with the GPS data to optimize future position determination. The system is not perfect and the refining is going on.

 Factors such as slow traffic, long waits at red lights or jams can distort the distance traveled since it is programmed to calculate the distance with last GPS reception. The training mode is to reduce this error rate with time. The researchers have tested SmartLoc in Chicago, which applies for navigation devices as a nightmare, because of the many high-rise buildings that reflect the GPS signal in the downtown area. Nevertheless, it was possible with SmartLoc to achieve a position accuracy of 20 meters for 90 percent of all test runs. The pure GPS navigation was as accurate in less than 50 percent of the tests. The previously developed software for Android also turns the power-hungry GPS reception at poor values hence it is put off automatically to conserve battery power.

Upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 features exposed

With Windows Phone 8 Microsoft is trying to defy the competition of Android and iOS and also to take in the Smartphone market back. By April 2014, the first major win- Phone update is expected. Windows Phone 8.1 is ready to appear with a voice control named Cortana.

While Microsoft 8.1 has rolled out the first major update for PC and tablet users with Windows in October 2013, but the Smartphone owners still waiting for their turn and this is the worst blunder; the manufacturer has indeed been turned off with the three updates( GDR1 , GDR2 and GDR3 ).

 The big jump to 8.1 is yet to happen. According to various reports - including from Microsoft's Mary Jo Foley connoisseur - Microsoft provides the Blue update for Windows Phone before San Francisco developers conference which is going to happen in April. According to a report Microsoft’s Windows Phone will have voice control with the name "Cortana" and is a part of the next major Windows Phone update (version 8.1).

Microsoft’s TellMe service that specializes in telephone voice control serves is the basis to this voice control service. Another option offered Microsoft is the Notification Central which will displays new emails, missed calls and others.

A now been submerged Screenshot confirms the rumor that Microsoft is working on a similar function for Windows Phone 8.1. Also, a screenshot indicates that Microsoft integrates a multiple selection. It could mean setting of folders to organize the many tiles on the home screen.

Digia Releases Qt 5.2 for iOS and Android

The development environment Qt 5.2 finally manages iOS and Android. The version 5.1 released in early summer provided a preliminary support for the two popular operating systems on mobile devices.

With this new version released last week, the vast majority of Qt API is managed by iOS and Android. However there are some exceptions such as Qt WebKit that cannot be done on iOS because of Apple restrictions.

 Even if everything is perfect and there is still a little work on some points, Digia developers will be able to tackle the management of Windows RT. This version offers preliminary support of the Microsoft operating system.

This is one of the main development of the 5.3 version is already under construction. More than ever, with Qt, the word platform makes sense, even on mobile platforms. Full support for Windows RT is pending. Digia has also made improvements to Qt for desktop operating systems.

This version does not solve all problems with Mavericks and enables Qt Mac Extras integrate native code. You may download this version directly from their site.

Samsung SSD 840 Series mSATA Evo has up to one TB space

Samsung's new mSATA SSDs score now with large memory. A terabyte is currently the record for small SSDs. Samsung's small SSD mSATA series 840EVO weighs just 8.5 ounces and is only four millimeters thick. Super -thin laptops and tablet PCs often need special thin SSDs, they are too thin for conventional hard drives.

Therefore, manufacturers build SSDs in the mSATA format. They are not only thinner but also more compact. A pleasant side effect of this case is more space for the battery. The can be so slightly larger and lasts longer. The only disadvantage of the smaller SSD size is that the mSATA SSDs often did not offer as much space as an SSD in the traditional 2.5 -inch format.

The largest model in the Samsung 840 Evo mSATA stores a terabyte. The new SSD not only provides much storage , Samsung also promises a lot of pace - more than 500 megabytes per second and nearly 100,000 read accesses or write accesses 90,000 per second ( IOPS) should be possible.

That would be much faster than for example the OCZ Vector 150 The mSATA version of Samsung's 840EVO series is four times smaller than a notebook hard drive and easily fits into the Ultrabook. The new SSDs will be available in December. In addition to the expensive one- terabyte version for 615 Euros, there are three smaller sizes also.

Gmail, Maps and Calendar updated for Android

Google Apps has been made a minor update with Bug fixes, new interface for Gmail and Gmail integration with Google Maps. Google has pushed past weekend updated three of its Android applications namely Gmail, Google Maps and Google Calendar.

This is a relatively minor update day in most cases, but brings some interesting news also. Gmail for example, the new interface allows you to take into account the semi- automatic sorting used by the application on the web. Gmail on Android now has tabs main box, Social Networking, Updates, Forums and Promotions. Google has also added its "swift action" in the Android version of Gmail.

Just tap on the photo for a contact in the message list, to access a number of shortcuts to standard functionality. Google Calendar provides much less news, the giant being merely fix bugs, without specifying further. As for Google Maps, the application now includes a direct channel with Gmail, to display directly and Plans appointments, travel, etc.

The three applications are updated via Google Play Store. They are online since the end of last week. Availability of them depends on the device, including the Android version installed.

Places Where Self-Service Kiosks Can Come in Handy

First developed back in 1977 by Murray Lappe, a student of the University of Illinois, the self-service kiosk has – in recent years at least – exploded in popularity, becoming increasingly common in all aspects of business.

Lappe’s kiosk, known as The Plato Hotline, was placed into his uni’s Student Union, and allowed people to find maps, courses, bus timetables and other information. It attracted more than thirty thousand different users in just six weeks!

Since then, the technology has evolved at a blistering pace; nowadays we can see self-service kiosks having an impact on nearly every aspect of our everyday lives.

In Airports

Airports quite frequently rely on self-service kiosks to help prevent long queues from building up – have you ever used a self-check-in counter? In many airports you can buy your flight tickets, confirm your reservation, and even check in your baggage, all using a simple kiosk.

Often found by the airline’s staffed check-in desk, the fact that people have the option to do it themselves frequently prevents lengthy queues for everyone.

At the Bank

Again used as a method of cutting queues, interactive kiosks have become almost synonymous with the banking experience. Cash machines (or ATMs) are an example of these that you’ll find all over the place, but more advanced ones are frequently found in-branch.

These versions tend to have a lot more features, allowing you to pay your bills, deposit cash, pay in cheques, make transfers, and all sorts of other useful things.

At Hospital

Similarly used as in the airport, hospitals and doctor’s surgeries can benefit from using a self-service kiosk as a means of letting patients check themselves in. This allows a receptionist to deal with the more serious patients, and can also provide a handy map telling the user which department they should head to.
A patient could use the kiosk to amend personal details or even to register at the surgery, cutting a lot of time from the normal procedures.

In the Shops

Self-service kiosks have taken off in a big way in the world of retail – in particular, the touch screen kiosk is now immensely popular, being utilised in a wide variety of different shops and outlets.

Many are using them in place of cashiers, allowing the staff member to be more gainfully employed in a different manner, although they are also good at working alongside cashiers, helping cut queues in two.
Also, they can be put outside of a store, meaning that customers can continue to browse the wares and potentially even place orders well outside of normal opening hours. Some, like those at Boots, allow customers to use their loyalty cards to find out the latest special offers.

In Museums

Many museums are now using kiosks to help guide visitors around, offering an interactive experience by which the visitors can learn all about the displays in front of them. They often offer audio content as well as visual, so that nobody has to miss out, as well as virtual galleries that let people flick through loads of interesting content.

Should Companies Restrict Internet Access During the Work Day?

One of the most controversial topics you’ll encounter in the workplace these days is the question of whether or not management has the right to restrict Internet access. Some see it as an attack on personal liberties, while others view it as nothing more than a company protecting its investments.
It’s a complicated issue, to be sure. Let’s try to get to the heart of the debate by taking a look at the arguments for and against.
Arguments For Internet Restriction
Let’s face it: there are plenty of attractive nuisances in the workplace that can distract us from our work. The Internet is the most obvious, and it can really throw a wrench into workplace productivity.
When an employee clocks in for the day (literally or figuratively), they’ve signed a more-or-less binding agreement that they’re there to work. Anything that might prove to undermine that promise, or take their focus off of their work, should be viewed as a disruption.
As a result, workplaces everywhere have placed restrictions on which sites employees can and can’t visit during work hours. The phrase “time is money” isn’t just a catchy idiom: it also happens to be true. By restricting Internet access, employers are ensuring that the time their employees spend in the office is spent working.
Arguments Against Internet Restriction
One might argue that there are already measures in place to ensure that employees are actually working when they’re supposed to. It’s called a paycheck. Plenty of workplaces rely on qualitative and quantitative measurements to ensure that their employees are meeting expectations. If they don’t, they’ve probably earned whatever’s coming to them. The argument here is that anything that doesn’t negatively impact an employees’ productivity is best left alone. In other words: if an employee can get their work done even with unfettered Internet access, so be it.
Another argument against Internet restriction comes down to trust. Every employee wants to know that they’re trusted and valued. Anything that removes an employees’ ability to make a choice, no matter what the choice might be, can be damaging to their self worth and, in turn, workplace morale.
Bring-Your Own Device (BYOD)
There’s a further complication in this issue, and it comes down to a relatively new practice in workplaces across the country. A rising number of IT departments are allowing employees to bring their own devices to work with them (smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.) for work purposes.
The practice, known as BYOD, has been found to improve morale and even save money for the company. It would seem to be a no-brainer.
However, there are practical reasons why it might interfere with a company’s laissez-faire approach to Internet use. When an employee’s personal device is used as part of an office phone system, for example, it presents certain security risks.
Modern cloud technology and VOIP systems have made it possible to create an inextricably linked network of devices in the workplace. If the security of just one device is compromised, it can pose a risk to the whole system. Restricting Internet usage on personal devices, then, would seem a good way to curb some of the risk.
This will likely be a contentious debate for some time, but understanding the complications involved can help business owners make an informed decision, one way or the other.
