Make any PC your own with Mojo Pac

Wouldn't it be nice if every computer you touch suddenly turned into your own- your favourite programs, settings, even your own desktop settings? No problem. There are applications that let you save everything you need from your computer on a USB thumb drive, a portable hard disk or even your iPod. So the next time you use an alien PC, just plug in the USB device and you will get your own working environment.

What you are essentially doing here is, using the hardware, operating system and internet connection of the actual physical computer, but running everything else from your USB device. MojoPac is one such application, run only on Windows XP. It has easy features like data copy that helps you decide what to copy into your USB drive. In addition to files, you can transfer your entire environment including browser settings, your browsing history and all cookies.


Even better when you remove the USB drive, the computer returns to its original state, no matter what changes you made while you were handling it. Since your files remain on your USB drive and never need to get transferred to the other PC's hard disk, there is no possibility of data leaking out. If you are using MojoPac for quiet some time and feel that your programs on USB, using MojoPac, are running slowly then you should read(speed up MojoPac) this to optimize your USB drive for performance instead of quick removal.

Difference between a Bit and Bytes

Are you confused between a bit and Byte and shaking your head on not getting download speed more than 32 KBps speed on 256 Kbps connection. Here is a brief tutorial on bit and byte.

First thing to remember is 8 bits make a byte and small (b) is used to represent bit and capital (B) is for byte. If you are using 256Kbps (b: bit) connection and whenever you download a file on the net, the speed shown in your browser is always in kilobytes per second, that is, KBps. So a 256 Kbps connection does not mean you will be downloading files at 256 Kilobytes a second. Rather, since 8 bits make a byte you' ll get a maximum speed of only 256/8 which is 32 KBps and 64 KBps on 512 Kbps connection.

An e-mail that destroys itself in five seconds

An American company has invented technology to produce the 21st century equivalent vanishing e-mails. For a subscription of $ 39.99 for a year for individual + $5.00 additional for mobile access and for Enterprise $5.00 per user one-time setup charge, + basic charge $39.99 per year + $5.00 additional for mobile access , the New York firm VaporStream guarantees messages will disappear in a puff of virtual smoke after being read once.

The company's bosses believe the service will be popular with high-profile businesses which are trying to safeguard corporate secrets. But they admit it could help those involved in shady dealings, who might have other reasons for not wanting a permanent record of their dealings

They use their usual e-mail addresses, but when routed through the self-destruct portal, the names of sender and receiver vanish and so does the message after read once. The message cannot be copied, forwarded, or edited, and there is no record of it anywhere on any computer.

Amit shah, the company's co-founder , said: It is much like a telephone call, in the sense that it doesn't leave a record. But it has the convenience of e-mail.

WordPress 2.1 Released

WordPress released another update on January 22, 2007 - called Ella (after Ella Fitzgerald) - that promotes the blogging software up to the 2.1 level. The update includes a number of new feature introductions like auto save, increased use of AJAX and a spell checking function for the visual editor.

According to the WordPress blog, Ella also fixes over 550 bugs, something that’s sure to please enterprising SEO blog hackers. Another area of interest concerning the Ella update has to do with the introduction of a search engine privacy feature. This will allow WP bloggers to determine whether or not they want their work to be pinged to or indexed by the search industry.

Because blog comment spam is a constant worry, any news concerning the Akismet plugin - the favorite WordPress comment spam tool - will be of major interest, Akismet has also been updated and is bundled in with WordPress 2.1 Ella. According to the Akismet blog, some of these changes include:

• Users can now search the Akismet caught queue
• A new counter widget showing a live count of your spam
• Discard spam that comes in on posts older than a month

Difference between video DVD and DVD-ROM

You may have seen that some of DVD discs are available as either DVDs or DVD-ROMs, however you may be unclear on what the actual differences are between the two. When you see a product referred to as being available on DVD, this means that it's a standard video disc, very similar to the commercial movie discs that you get from the video store. These discs contain regular broadcast NTSC video (North American video standard) or PAL video (Phase-alternating line), which are designed to play on a standard set-top DVD player for viewing on a television set. You can always watch video DVDs with a regular DVD/TV setup, if your computer supports video DVD playback, you can also watch it on your computer desktop.

DVD-ROMs, on the other hand, are only viewable on a computer. A DVD-ROM is physically the same type of disc as a video DVD, but does not contain broadcast video and is not viewable on a standard DVD/TV setup. Instead, DVD-ROMs contain a computer program which runs on Macintosh or Windows systems. A set-top DVD player cannot run a computer program, and so DVD-ROMs won't work in a video DVD player.


The advantage of DVD-ROMs over video DVDs is that DVD program provides for a much higher level of interactivity than a video DVD.

Run Windows Vista on Slower PC

If you love Windows Vista and want to install (on slower PC) or installed on you PC and after installing you have to wait long to windows vista to boot up as your PC don't meet the minimum configuration criteria as mentioned by Microsoft. I also feel the same when I installed Window Vista on my PC. My PC configuration is :

• CPU: Pentium 4
• Hard Disk: 80 GB
• Ram: 256 MB

I was also not satisfied with the way this operating system startup then I applied the below remedies. The below steps will enable you to enjoy Vista Operating System with low system configuration as I am running it on my PC:

1.Boot Up Window Vista
2. First switch the control Panel View to Classic view (it will make easier to work).
3.Go to Program And Features.
3.Click Turn Windows Features On or Off.
5.Now a POP UP will appear on the screen with Name "Windows Features". Since the Vista (assuming you have got windows Vista ultimate) is advanced version of Windows with varied capabilities that are unmatched with any of the earlier versions of Operating System, it includes as default the games and other services which are more advanced and heavy for running with low RAM and system configuration.

What I did here is as follows :

In Games,
I unchecked the unwanted games.
In Print Services,
I unchecked the option Internet Printing Client.
Remote Differential Compression is unchecked.
Tablet PC Optional Components is unchecked.
Windows DFS Replication Service is Unchecked.
Windows Fax and Scan is Unchecked.
Windows Meeting Space is Unchecked.
Windows Ultimate Extras is Unchecked.


If you are not sure what is the function of the various items listed in the window, just hover it with the mouse and the system itself will give a information box about the option so hovered.
Now click ok, this will configure some settings of Windows and take some time. After which the system itself will ask to restart. Restart the computer which also will take more time than usual.

After the system gets restarted, Right click on Desktop icon My computer (If it is not visible on Desktop, then go to start menu and right click computer). Here click properties. In properties click Advanced settings and click continue. Under Advanced tab in Performance box click Settings. In this select Adjust for best performance. Now click apply and OK. This will bring the system to Windows 98 look.


Now the main settings :

On desktop, Right click and choose personalise. Now choose Windows Color and Appearance. Here Choose Windows Vista Basic in Color Scheme and click apply and ok. This will bring back the looks of Vista. Enjoy improved performance with Complete Vista look.



Please note that after all the above steps snipping tool and Window ultimate features will not be available as before.
