Who is the Boss ??

2010-01-28T20:14:00.005+05:30

Very Very Inspiring..... read complete , Management Lesson.

When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.
The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions."

The feet said, " We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally he spoke up.

All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So he went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work.

Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.

Eventually they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the Motion was passed.

All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit !!!

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012 : NASA made one mistake it is Dec 23 not 21

2010-01-09T19:11:00.003+05:30

NASA says all clear! World is not ending on December 21, 2012. The Space Agency of America made one simple mistake. The world will not end on Dec 21, but any time between Dec 23, 2012 and Dec 23, 2029.
NASA said in a question-and-answer posting on its website, “There is no factual basis for these claims.” If such a collision were real, “astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye,” it said.
“Obviously, it does not exist,” it added. “Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012,” it insisted. After all, “our planet has been getting along just fine for more than four billion years,” added NASA.
The world is supposed to get hundreds of thosusands of extraterretsrial space ships from the super advanced Type V extraterretsrial civilization.

Microsoft unveils launch date for 'Natal' Xbox 360

2010-01-07T19:46:00.002+05:30

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Microsoft announced Wednesday that "Project Natal" gesture recognition games, where the human body serves as the controller, will be released at the end of the year for the Xbox 360 videogame console.

"2010 is going to be the biggest year in Xbox history," Robbie Bach, the head of Microsoft's entertainment and devices division, said in a speech which kicked off the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here.

"This holiday 2010 you'll be able to bring home Project Natal which will work with your existing Xbox 360 console," Bach told exhibitors and journalists at the gadget extravaganza.

"With Project Natal we are removing the last barrier to gaming -- the controller," he said, providing "an entirely new but completely natural way to play.

Bach's announcement followed a keynote speech by Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer, who said the US software giant has raked in 20 billion dollars from sales of 39 million Xbox 360s and more than 500 million associated games.

A prototype of Natal was unveiled to rave reviews by Microsoft at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) videogame industry show in Los Angeles in June.

The technology uses a 3-D camera and gesture recognition software to let people play videogames using natural body movements instead of handheld controllers.

Natal lets people play driving games, for example, by simply moving their hands as if turning a car steering wheel.

On-screen figures in boxing, skateboard, soccer and other sports titles mimic the body movements of real-world players.

Microsoft last year released a software kit for videogame makers interested in designing titles to take advantage of Natal's capabilities.

British videogame icon Peter Molyneux, chief of Lionhead Studios, has described Natal as a "landmark in computer entertainment."

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands !! Preview !

2010-01-02T17:50:00.003+05:30

Publisher: Ubisoft

Developer: Ubisoft

Release Date: May 1, 2010

Platforms: PlayStation3 , Xbox 360

Ubisoft's announced an all-new Prince of Persia game, "The Forgotten Sands", for release on "consoles and handhelds" in May, 2010.

The new instalment in the platforming franchise marks a return to the Prince of Persia Sands of Time storyline, with the film of the same name due for release on May 28, 2010.

The Forgotten Sands will feature "many of the fan-favorite elements from the original series", says Ubisoft, as well as "new gameplay innovations that gamers have come to expect from the Prince of Persia brand."

Well Not many details about the title were revealed, however, such as possible tie-ins with the film and what platforms it will appear, only saying it's for both consoles and handhelds.

Ubisoft did say players can expect the return of "fan-favorite elements" from the original series as well as new gameplay innovations.

"Our new title will be true to the Prince of Persia roots and should leverage the fantastic impact the movie is going to have on our franchise," said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot during an investor call this morning. Guillemot also added the game will be targeted at both hardcore and casual audiences.

LEAK: Half-Life 2 Playing on Project Natal !!!

2010-01-01T19:37:00.001+05:30

Here's a clip of the Microsoft's upcoming motion system handling Half Life 2—the first time anyone's seen Natal playing an FPS.

We should mention, the clip comes from an unconfirmed source, but everything about the system is reminiscent to Natal to us—we should say, Natal running a title in early beta. The control scheme seems simultaneously intuitive and awkward in what we're assuming is a proof-of-concept, the user repositioning their view by moving the screen with their hand.

Still, while the verdict may be out on how well Natal will handle first person shooters, it's pretty darn cool to see a player control a complex game without a controller between them and the screen. And if you were playing an FPS involving the manipulation of a variety of objects beyond mere guns (imagine grabbing a key, crowbar or, heck, even a flower) what's now just a novelty could become something much more compelling.

Modern Warfare 2: Most pirated game of 2009

2009-12-30T22:02:00.002+05:30

Over 4 million unauthorized downloads...and counting.

(Credit: Infinity Ward)

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has set several records this year, including the most units sold in a single month (over 6 million in November alone). But according to TorrentFreak, a site that covers the world of torrent downloads, the game was also the most pirated game title of 2009

According to the site, Modern Warfare 2's PC version was downloaded on torrent sites a whopping 4.1 million times, which is more than twice as many downloads as 2008's most-pirated game, Spore. The Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 was downloaded 970,000 times.

Those numbers are all the more impressive when one considers that the game was downloaded over a period of just two months.

TorrentFreak also released its findings for other top pirated games. The Sims 3, Prototype, Need for Speed Shift, and Street Fighter IV rounded out the list of most-pirated PC games. Street Fighter IV and Prototype were second and third on the most-pirated Xbox 360 games, following Modern Warfare 2. Dirt 2 and UFC 2009 Undisputed placed in fourth and fifth places, respectively.

TorrentFreak also evaluated the most pirated games on the Wii. Not surprisingly, it was the New Super Mario Bros. that took the top spot with 1.15 million downloads. It was followed by Punch-Out, Wii Sports Resort, House of the Dead: Overkill, and Mario Power Tennis.

Shifting from Win XP to Win 7 ?? Check this out first!!!

2009-10-25T12:41:00.002+05:30

Microsoft's much-awaited operating system Windows 7 is finally here. After the disappointing performance of Vista, Microsoft is banking high on Windows 7 to give it the much required fillip in the PC market.

Two-year old Vista failed to make a dent in the market. The OS' biggest rival turned has been not an OS from a rival company or from the Open Source community, but Microsoft's own operating system XP. According to Forrester Research (done few months ago), 86 per cent of corporate PCs continue to rely on the eight-year-old Vista predecessor Windows XP.

However, most analysts believe that it is time that XP users too start planning their migration path to Windows 7. Here's a guide for XP users to help them smoothly migrate to the new operating system, Windows 7.

Which version to install?

Windows 7 packs both 32-bit and 64-bit installation discs. 64-bit operating systems can handle large amounts of memory roughly 4GB RAM. However, not all computers are 64-bit capable.

To check, right click on My Computer and click Properties. If you don’t see "x64 Edition" listed, then you are running the 32-bit version of Windows XP. If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, you are running the 64-bit version of Windows XP and can run the 64-bit version of Windows 7.

How to check compatibility with your hardware

To check for the Windows 7's compatibility with your computer's hardware, devices, or programmes that might affect the its installation, download and run the free Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

It will list any issues that it finds and gives recommendations on what to do before you upgrade to improve your PC's compatibility with Windows 7.

Moving files and settings

Microsoft recommends using Windows Easy Transfer, a free download, which will help users move their files and settings to another location before they install Windows 7. Later they can use Windows Easy Transfer again to move files and settings back to PC after Windows installation is completed. However, Windows Easy Transfer doesn't move programmes. Users will have to reinstall their programmes manually after Windows 7 installation is complete. Windows Easy Transfer will provide you with a list of programmes that you are currently using with Windows XP.

In case you don't go for Windows Easy Transfer, you will need to copy files manually to an external location, such as CDs, DVDs, an external hard disk, or a USB flash drive before installing Windows 7, and then move them back after Windows installation is completed.

Installing Windows 7

To get started, connect your PC to the Internet so that you can get installation updates during the process. Select either the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc, depending on your system requirements.

Enter the Windows 7 installation disc and Setup should start automatically. If it doesn't, click Start, click My Computer, open the Windows 7 installation disc on your DVD drive, and then double-click setup.exe.

On the Install Windows page, click Install now. On the 'Which type of installation do you want?' page, click Custom. Choose the partition containing Windows XP (this is often the computer's C: drive), and then click Next. (Do not select your external USB hard drive.) In the Windows.old dialog box, click OK.

Moving your files and settings back

After the installation is over, users can run Windows Easy Transfer again and move files and settings back to the computer.

Be sure you run Windows Easy Transfer before you reinstall your programmes. This is because Windows Easy Transfer moves your files back to where your old programmes will expect them to be when you reinstall them.

Ensure that your external hard disk or other storage device that contains Windows Easy Transfer migration file is connected to the computer. Click the Start button, click Computer, and under Hard Disk Drives, double-click your storage device. Browse to the location where you saved the Easy Transfer file, called Windows Easy Transfer - Items from old computer, and double click the file.

On the `Choose what to transfer to this computer' page, a user can decide how the user accounts from Windows XP are transferred to Windows 7.

Reinstall programmes and update drivers

Once your files and settings are back on your computer, you can reinstall your programmes and check for new or updated drivers.

Windows Easy Transfer provides a report detailing the programmes you used in Windows XP that you might want to reinstall. To reinstall your programmes, you need to use the installation discs or setup files.

Tips On Google Search !! Very Useful !!

2009-10-19T17:26:00.000+05:30

Hello guyz!!

This is an important discussion about how to search in google for different results. As we know the google is a powerful search option for all known as r best friend , but how it work?. Here we go..

Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google tries to match your query by manipulating huge functions like how many times the term appears on the page and examines it. This makes a google a powerful search engine and user friendly.

We can search the google by using deferent operators that are defined by google.

Five Tips On Google Search

Sometimes when you search on Google you might not get the desired results or you might need to search a lot by changing the keywords you are searching for.

1. The “+” Sign : Google ignores some words like the, how and many other digits and words which actually slow down the search speed. Now if a common word is essential for you and you want google to look for it the just give a space, put the “+” sign and type in the word. By this google makes sure that, that word is actually included in the search as well. I came to knew of this as i was searching for a Book, but google was not showing the desired results, i used this technique and was able to get the details I was looking for.

2. Synonym Search with “~”(Tildy) Sign : If in case you want to search for the term as well it’s synonym, then in that case just add the “~” sign just in front of your term, you will then see the links for the same terms synonym. This can be really helpful in case you are searching for some specific results

3. Use of Keyword “OR” : In case you want the search results to show two different categories then in that case you can use the Keyword “OR”. This will make sure that you will get the results accordingly. Similarly you can also use “AND”, but in this case google will show you pages where both the parameters are met, whereas in case of keyword “OR”, any parameter that matches up, those links will be displayed.

4. Getting links of Specific Site : Sometimes you might visit a site but not able to find the links or accurate pages in that site. What do you do? Just click on links to get the specific page? Well a simple answer is search through Google. Suppose you want to search for groups site in google.com, then simple type in “groups site:google.com”. You will see op tins coming for the google groups. This is a pretty old method is very useful to get to a specific page of a site. The code for this would be “site:”

5. Search within a Range : You can search in Google within a desired range be it be Money, Weight, Age or any thing else, you just need to define the range and you will get the results you require. You need to type in the range as separated by “..”. But make sure you specify the unit as well like for money, weight, length or any thing else. Like, for Example:- TV 21..32 inches

Let us know what are the elements, functions and factors involve in the part of search.

Google Operators:
Operators are used to refine the results and to maximize the search value. They are your tools as well as ethical hackers’ weapons
Basic Operators:

+, -, ~ , ., *, “”, |,

Advanced Operators:
allintext:, allintitle:, allinurl:, bphonebook:, cache:, define:, filetype:, info:, intext:, intitle:, inurl:, link:, phonebook:, related:, rphonebook:, site:, numrange:, daterange

(+) force inclusion of something common
Google ignores common words (where, how, digit, single letters) by default:

Example: StarStar Wars Episode +I

(-) exclude a search term
Example: apple –red

(“) use quotes around a search term to search exact phrases:
Example: “Robert Masse”
Robert masse without “” has the 309,000 results, but “robert masse” only has 927 results. Reduce the 99% irrelevant results

(~) search synonym:
Example: ~food
Return the results about food as well as recipe, nutrition and cooking information

( . ) a single-character wildcard:
Example: m.trix
Return the results of M@trix, matrix, metrix…….

( * ) any word wildcard

Advanced Operators: “Site:”
Site: Domain_name :: Find Web pages only on the specified domain. If we search a specific site, usually we get the Web structure of the domain

Examples:
site:http://studentshangout.com
Advanced Operators: “Filetype:”

Filetype: extension_type : Find documents with specified extensions

The supported extensions are:

- HyperText Markup Language (html) - Microsoft PowerPoint (ppt)

- Lotus WordPro (lwp) - Rich Text Format (rtf)
- MacWrite (mw) - Shockwave Flash (swf)
- Text (ans, txt)

Note: We actually can search asp, php and cgi, pl files as long as it is text-compatible.

Example: Budget filetype: xls
Advanced Operators “Intitle:”

Intitle: search_term :: Find search term within the title of a Webpage

Allintitle: search_term1 search_term2 search_term3
Find multiple search terms in the Web pages with the title that includes all these words
These operators are specifically useful to find the directory lists

Example:
Find directory list: Intitle: Index.of “parent directory”

Searching google: The following are syntaxes and corresponding examples try them

Advanced Operators “Inurl:”

Find search term in a Web address
Inurl: search_term

Find multiple search terms in a Web address
Allinurl: search_term1 search_term2 search_term3

Examples:

Allinurl: cgi-bin password
Advanced Operators “Intext;”

Find search term in the text body of a document.
Intext: search_term

Find multiple search terms in the text body of a document.
Allintext: search_term1 search_term2 search_term3

Examples:

Advanced Operators: “Cache:”

Find the old version of Website in Google cache
Cache: URL
Sometimes, even the site has already been updated, the old information might be found in cache

Examples:
Cache: http://yahoo.com

Advanced Operators:
Conduct a number range search by specifying two numbers, separated by two periods, with no spaces. Be sure to specify a unit of measure or some other indicator of what the number range represents

Examples:
Computer $500..1000
DVD player $250..350
Advanced Operators: “Daterange:”

Daterange: - :: Find the Web pages between start date and end date

Note: start_date and end date use the Julian date
The Julian date is calculated by the number of days since January 1, 4713 BC. For example, the Julian date for August 1, 2001 is 2452122

Examples:
2004.07.10=2453196
2004.08.10=2453258
Vulnerabilities date range: 2453196-2453258

Advanced Operators “Link:”

Link: URL :: Find the Web pages having a link to the specified URL

Related: URL :: Find the Web pages that are “similar” to the specified Web page

info: URL :: Present some information that Google has about that Web page

Define: search_term :: Provide a definition of the words gathered from various online sources

Get the serial number you need ! (Works for most of the products)
1) Go to Google.

2) Use Keyword as "Product name" 94FBR

3) Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial number for.

4) And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things. 1) The pages that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting a serial for. 2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number list page.

See these example searches:
Code:

"Photoshop 7"+94FBR
"Age of Mythology"+94FBR
"Nero Burning Rom 5.5"+94FBR

Final Touch:: try these keyword strings
you can search files on Rapidshare server too.

Just go to Google.com and punch “site:rapidshare.com” followed by:

“inurl:pdf” for Ebooks in PDF Format
“inurl:avi|wmv|mpg|nva” for Movies
“inurl:mp3|ogg|wma” for Audio Files
“inurl:exe” for executable application
“inurl:zip|rar|7zip|tar” for RAR, ZIP, 7ZIP or TAR compressed archieve

Examples:

If your searching for Google Earth in ZIP format, then you must search for “site:rapidshare.com inurl:googleearth” (obviously without the quotes)

Similarly if your searching for XYZ video, then it should be something like “site:rapidshare.com nurl:avi|wmv|mpg|nva XYZ”

For finding PHP scripts in web:
php.null intitle:"index of /"

String to find out private pictures directories:

Try this little code in Google, you may find lot of Non public pictures

Computer viruses

INTRODUCTION

� How to recover from an infection
� How to prevent future infections from a computer virus

What is a computer virus?

A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another computer and that interferes with computer operation. A computer virus may corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an e-mail program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.

Computer viruses are most easily spread by attachments in e-mail messages or by instant messaging messages. Therefore, you must never open an e-mail attachment unless you know who sent the message or unless you are expecting the e-mail attachment. Computer viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread by using downloads on the Internet. Computer viruses can be hidden in pirated software or in other files or programs that you may download.

Symptoms of a computer virus

If you suspect or confirm that your computer is infected with a computer virus, obtain the current antivirus software. The following are some primary indicators that a computer may be infected:

� The computer runs slower than usual.
� The computer stops responding, or it locks up frequently.
� The computer crashes, and then it restarts every few minutes.
� The computer restarts on its own. Additionally, the computer does not run as usual.
� Applications on the computer do not work correctly.
� Disks or disk drives are inaccessible.
� You cannot print items correctly.
� You see unusual error messages.
� You see distorted menus and dialog boxes.
� There is a double extension on an attachment that you recently opened, such as a .jpg, .vbs, .gif, or .exe. extension.
� An antivirus program is disabled for no reason. Additionally, the antivirus program cannot be restarted.
� An antivirus program cannot be installed on the computer, or the antivirus program will not run.
� New icons appear on the desktop that you did not put there, or the icons are not associated with any recently installed programs.
� Strange sounds or music plays from the speakers unexpectedly.
� A program disappears from the computer even though you did not intentionally remove the program.

Note: These are common signs of infection. However, these signs may also be caused by hardware or software problems that have nothing to do with a computer virus. Unless you run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, and then you install industry-standard, up-to-date antivirus software on your computer, you cannot be certain whether a computer is infected with a computer virus or not.

Symptoms of worms and trojan horse viruses in e-mail messages

When a computer virus infects e-mail messages or infects other files on a computer, you may notice the following symptoms:

� The infected file may make copies of itself. This behavior may use up all the free space on the hard disk.
� A copy of the infected file may be sent to all the addresses in an e-mail address list.
� The computer virus may reformat the hard disk. This behavior will delete files and programs.
� The computer virus may install hidden programs, such as pirated software. This pirated software may then be distributed and sold from the computer.
� The computer virus may reduce security. This could enable intruders to remotely access the computer or the network.
� You receive an e-mail message that has a strange attachment. When you open the attachment, dialog boxes appear, or a sudden degradation in system performance occurs.
� Someone tells you that they have recently received e-mail messages from you that contained attached files that you did not send. The files that are attached to the e-mail messages have extensions such as .exe, .bat, .scr, and .vbs extensions.

Symptoms that may be the result of ordinary Windows functions

A computer virus infection may cause the following problems:

� Windows does not start even though you have not made any system changes or even though you have not installed or removed any programs.
� There is frequent modem activity. If you have an external modem, you may notice the lights blinking frequently when the modem is not being used. You may be unknowingly supplying pirated software.
� Windows does not start because certain important system files are missing. Additionally, you receive an error message that lists the missing files.
� The computer sometimes starts as expected. However, at other times, the computer stops responding before the desktop icons and the taskbar appear.
� The computer runs very slowly. Additionally, the computer takes longer than expected to start.
� You receive out-of-memory error messages even though the computer has sufficient RAM.
� New programs are installed incorrectly.
� Windows spontaneously restarts unexpectedly.
� Programs that used to run stop responding frequently. Even if you remove and reinstall the programs, the issue continues to occur.
� A disk utility such as Scandisk reports multiple serious disk errors.
� A partition disappears.
� The computer always stops responding when you try to use Microsoft Office products.
� You cannot start Windows Task Manager.
� Antivirus software indicates that a computer virus is present.

How to remove a computer virus

Even for an expert, removing a computer virus can be a difficult task without the help of computer virus removal tools. Some computer viruses and other unwanted software, such as spyware, even reinstall themselves after the viruses have been detected and removed. Fortunately, by updating the computer and by using antivirus tools, you can help permanently remove unwanted software.

To remove a computer virus, follow these steps:

1. Install the latest updates from Microsoft Update on the computer.
2. Update the antivirus software on the computer. Then, perform a thorough scan of the computer by using the antivirus software.

How to protect your computer against viruses

To protect your computer against viruses, follow these steps:

1. On the computer, turn on the firewall.
2. Keep the computer operating system up-to-date.
3. Use updated antivirus software on the computer.
4. Use updated antispyware software on the computer.

World's Most Complicated Watch!!!

2009-10-13T13:33:00.001+05:30

The World's Most Complicated Watch-

World's Most Complicated Watch

Company: Jaeger-LeCoultre

Price: $2,500,000

You are looking at the world’s most complicated wrist watch as of 2009. The Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie from Jaeger-LeCoultre holds an impressive 26 complications in a single mechanical timepiece -- trumping the last complex watch weighing in at 25. The price of $2.5 million is somewhat misleading as the Grande Sonnerie model is not sold alone. Instead, the watch arrives as part of a set (limited to 30 sets total) of three timepieces that together represent a total of 55 complications. In addition to the Grande Sonnerie model, the Hybris Mechanica set includes the Gyrotourbillon model and the Reverso a Tryptique timepieces -- all arriving in a safe as the presentation box.

Aside from telling the time, the beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie watch focuses on two major functions including the perpetual calendar and the ornate chiming functions. The Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 182 flying tourbillon movement is massively complex with over 1,300 parts. The gongs and hammers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica Grande Sonnerie include the ability to play the full "Carillon de Westminster" melody, a grande sonnerie, petit sonnerie, and has a minute repeater

If you are one of the 30 people who will own this timepiece, you will probably want to be careful with it. Aside from the obvious fragility of the ultra detailed movement, this is a seriously collectible timepiece. Thought $2.5 million was a lot? Wait 10 or 20 years and see what the watch is worth then. The watch itself comes in an 18k white-gold case and is 44mm wide by 15mm thick. Part of the mystique is how Jaeger-LeCoultre is able to fit everything into the case: Sapphire crystals on the front and rear of the watch provide a clear view into the surprisingly easy-to-read dial -- given everything that it does -- as well as the ornately decorated movement on the front and rear of the watch.

Check Your Anti-Virus Software Is Working Properly Or Not.

2009-10-12T12:36:00.007+05:30

This article is best in checking out whether your antivirus software is running at its best or not. It was not known to many that how to check the antivirus software they are using is working properly or not. Please read the article for the details.

Click Start --> Open Notepad -->

Copy the code exactly in the notepad[without quotes] :

"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"

Now Save it with the name fakevirus.exe in any of your folder/drives.

If this file got deleted immediately...then it means that your antivirus is working properly and updated !!

If this doesnt happens and you see the saved file in that folder do right click the file and select scan with your installed antivirus and if the scan shows the file then it means your antivirus is working properly but not updated with a new version, as best antivirus softwares detect any virus (at the same second when you save the same in your system)without your effort of going to specified folder and scanning the folder.

If it doesnt shows any kind of threats then you need to change your antivirus software immediately with some good one with the new version.

Note:- don't be afraid of any kind as this is just an fake virus just to check if your anti-virus is good or not ......

How An Intel Processor Is Made? [know it now!]

2009-10-10T23:47:00.004+05:30

Sand. Made up of 25 percent silicon, is, after oxygen, the second most abundant chemical element that's in the earth's crust. Sand, especially quartz, has high percentages of silicon in the form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is the base ingredient for semiconductor manufacturing.

After procuring raw sand and separating the silicon, the excess material is disposed of and the silicon is purified in multiple steps to finally reach semiconductor manufacturing quality which is called electronic grade silicon. The resulting purity is so great that electronic grade silicon may only have one alien atom for every one billion silicon atoms. After the purification process, the silicon enters the melting phase. In this picture you can see how one big crystal is grown from the purified silicon melt. The resulting mono-crystal is called an ingot.

A mono-crystal ingot is produced from electronic grade silicon. One ingot weighs approximately 100 kilograms (or 220 pounds) and has a silicon purity of 99.9999 percent.

The ingot is then moved onto the slicing phase where individual silicon discs, called wafers, are sliced thin. Some ingots can stand higher than five feet. Several different diameters of ingots exist depending on the required wafer size. Today, CPUs are commonly made on 300 mm wafers.

Once cut, the wafers are polished until they have flawless, mirror-smooth surfaces. Intel doesn't produce its own ingots and wafers, and instead purchases manufacturing-ready wafers from third-party companies. Intel’s advanced 45 nm High-K/Metal Gate process uses wafers with a diameter of 300 mm (or 12-inches). When Intel first began making chips, it printed circuits on 50 mm (2-inches) wafers. These days, Intel uses 300 mm wafers, resulting in decreased costs per chip.

The blue liquid, depicted above, is a photo resist finish similar to those used in film for photography. The wafer spins during this step to allow an evenly-distributed coating that's smooth and also very thin.

At this stage, the photo-resistant finish is exposed to ultra violet (UV) light. The chemical reaction triggered by the UV light is similar to what happens to film material in a camera the moment you press the shutter button.

Areas of the resist on the wafer that have been exposed to UV light will become soluble. The exposure is done using masks that act like stencils. When used with UV light, masks create the various circuit patterns. The building of a CPU essentially repeats this process over and over until multiple layers are stacked on top of each other.

A lens (middle) reduces the mask's image to a small focal point. The resulting "print" on the wafer is typically four times smaller, linearly, than the mask's pattern.

In the picture we have a representation of what a single transistor would appear like if we could see it with the naked eye. A transistor acts as a switch, controlling the flow of electrical current in a computer chip. Intel researchers have developed transistors so small that they claim roughly 30 million of them could fit on the head of a pin..

After being exposed to UV light, the exposed blue photo resist areas are completely dissolved by a solvent. This reveals a pattern of photo resist made by the mask. The beginnings of transistors, interconnects, and other electrical contacts begin to grow from this point.

The photo resist layer protects wafer material that should not be etched away. Areas that were exposed will be etched away with chemicals.

After the etching, the photo resist is removed and the desired shape becomes visible.

More photo resist (blue) is applied and then re-exposed to UV light. Exposed photo resist is then washed off again before the next step, which is called ion doping. This is the step where ion particles are exposed to the wafer, allowing the silicon to change its chemical properties in a way that allows the CPU to control the flow of electricity..

Through a process called ion implantation (one form of a process called doping) the exposed areas of the silicon wafer are bombarded with ions. Ions are implanted in the silicon wafer to alter the way silicon in these areas conduct electricity. Ions are propelled onto the surface of the wafer at very high velocities. An electrical field accelerates the ions to a speed of over 300,000 km/hour (roughly 185,000 mph)

After the ion implantation, the photo resist will be removed and the material that should have been doped (green) now has alien atoms implanted.

This transistor is close to being finished. Three holes have been etched into the insulation layer (magenta color) above the transistor. These three holes will be filled with copper, which will make up the connections to other transistors.

The wafers are put into a copper sulphate solution at this stage. Copper ions are deposited onto the transistor through a process called electroplating. The copper ions travel from the positive terminal (anode) to the negative terminal (cathode) which is represented by the wafer.

The copper ions settle as a thin layer on the wafer surface.

The excess material is polished off leaving a very thin layer of copper.

Multiple metal layers are created to interconnects (think wires) in between the various transistors. How these connections have to be “wired” is determined by the architecture and design teams that develop the functionality of the respective processor (for example, Intel’s Core i7 processor). While computer chips look extremely flat, they may actually have over 20 layers to form complex circuitry. If you look at a magnified view of a chip, you will see an intricate network of circuit lines and transistors that look like a futuristic, multi-layered highway system.

This fraction of a ready wafer is being put through a first functionality test. In this stage test patterns are fed into every single chip and the response from the chip monitored and compared to "the right answer."

After tests determine that the wafer has a good yield of functioning processor units, the wafer is cut into pieces (called dies).

The dies that responded with the right answer to the test pattern will be put forward for the next step (packaging). Bad dies are discarded. Several years ago, Intel made key chains out of bad CPU dies.

This is an individual die, which has been cut out in the previous step (slicing). The die shown here is a die of an Intel Core i7 processor.

The substrate, the die, and the heatspreader are put together to form a completed processor. The green substrate builds the electrical and mechanical interface for the processor to interact with the rest of the PC system. The silver heatspreader is a thermal interface where a cooling solution will be applied. This will keep the processor cool during operation.

A microprocessor is the most complex manufactured product on earth. In fact, it takes hundreds of steps and only the most important ones have been visualized in this picture story.

During this final test the processors will be tested for their key characteristics (among the tested characteristics are power dissipation and maximum frequency).

Based on the test result of class testing processors with the same capabilities are put into the same transporting trays. This process is called "binning". Binning determines the maximum operating frequency of a processor, and batches are divided and sold according to stable specifications.

The manufactured and tested processors (again Intel Core i7 processor is shown here) either go to system manufacturers in trays or into retail stores in a box. Many thanks to Intel for supplying the text and photos in this picture story. or full size images of this entire process.

Thousands of Hotmail passwords leaked online[news]

2009-10-09T23:12:00.002+05:30

Microsoft has confirmed that thousands of Hotmail accounts have been compromised in a phishing attack.

BBC News has seen a list of more than 10,000 e-mail accounts and passwords which had been posted online.

The software giant, which owns the web-based e-mail system, said that it "had launched an investigation".

Phishing involves using fake websites to lure people into revealing personal details such as bank accounts or login names and other private data.

"We are aware that some Windows Live Hotmail customers' credentials were acquired illegally and exposed on a website," said a Microsoft spokesperson.

"Upon learning of the issue, we immediately requested that the credentials be removed and launched an investigation to determine the impact to customers."

Quick change

Graham Cluley, consultant at security firm Sophos, told BBC News the published list may just be a subset of a longer list of compromised accounts.

"We still don't know the scale of the problem," he told BBC News.

Technology blog neowin was the first to publish details of the attack. It said the accounts were posted on 1 October to pastebin, a website commonly used by developers to share code.

Although the details have since been removed, BBC News and Neowin has seen a list of 10,028 names beginning with the letters A and B.

BBC News has confirmed that the accounts are genuine and predominantly originate in Europe.

The list included details of Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail accounts with email addresses ending hotmail.com, msn.com and live.com.

Mr Cluley advised Hotmail users to change their password as soon as possible.

"I'd also recommend that people change the password on any other site where they use it," he said.

Around 40% of people use the same password for every website they use, he added.

Hotmail is currently the largest web-based e-mail service.

Neowin says :-

An anonymous user posted details of the accounts on October 1 at PasteBin, a site commonly used by developers to share code snippets. The details have since been removed but Neowin has seen part of the list posted and can confirm the accounts are genuine and most appear to be based in Europe. The list details over 10,000 accounts starting from A through to B, suggesting there could be additional lists. Currently it appears only accounts used to access Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail have been posted, this includes @hotmail.com, @msn.com and @live.com accounts.

Neowin has reported this immediately to Microsoft's Security Response Center and to Microsoft's PR teams in the UK and US and we are currently awaiting feedback on the situation. As this is a breaking story please check back frequently as the story will be updated as soon as more information becomes available.

If you are a Windows Live Hotmail user rock-viz-us recommends that you change your password and security question immediately.

Hacker Evolution: Untold [review]

2009-10-08T17:05:00.009+05:30

The Best Hacking game ever ::: Hacker Evolution: Untold

You may have played the Hacker evolution part I on your PC.. & Iphones .. but now its time to put you hands on some damn hot thing.. yes .. i m talking about the new realse on Hacker evolution series .. :::>> Hacker Evolution: Untold <<::: ..

OVER ALL RATING FOR THE GAME :: 94.00 %

Hacker Evolution is a game like no other I’ve ever played. I have to admit going into reviewing the game, I had my doubts about whether I would enjoy it as it was a step out of my comfort zone, but once in a while it seems, it’s okay to take a step out of your comfort zone.

The name of the game gives it away as to what it’s all about, hacking. You play the role of Brian Spencer, a young computer programmer working for a company he started with a couple of friends, which has developed the technology from where it all started. When you are being framed for crime, it's up to you to prevent computer from becoming the next dominant specie, and clear your name, using your hacker skills There are a total of ten missions and each one has several ways to solve them. To do this you must scan for servers, figure out how to get into them, and obtain the information needed to move on. At times there might be money you can steal (too scarce, but it’s there), which helps you through the game. With the money you can buy better equipment or decrease your global trace level. You have to be careful with your global trace level, (this is where you can be "discovered" and stopped) as this carries over to each mission. Each mission you start out by having to crack and decrypt a new service, which automatically adds a 20% penalty. So you always have to keep an eye on it.

When you first start the game there is a tutorial, normally I hate tutorials and try to avoid them like the plague. In this case, I was glad it was there. It took some time, and at times even the tutorial would lose me, but it really does help once you start playing the game. It leads you through a storyline and shows you what you need to do. Just make sure you pay attention (I’ll admit I didn't the first time) as you can get really confused within the game if you don’t. The tutorial seemed to be long and tedious at first, but I think it had more to do with me not understanding how it would all work. Once you finish it and actually start playing the game, it really does help you.

The puzzles or missions are tough, almost like someone knows more about hacking than they should, yet sometimes they are too complicated it seems. As I mentioned before, for each mission there is more than one solution. Even though you tend to do the same thing in each mission, you can get wrapped up in the mystery of it and forget that you’re repeating yourself. Within each mission there are clues to help you along the way. Yet somehow the first time through, I seemed to miss the majority of them. The one thing I would have liked to see is a copy and paste option or a drop down menu once you have obtained a certain server, as that would cut down on typing the same thing over and over again.

The one thing I noticed, as a family man who has children/grandchildren screaming playing around the house, you can’t save during the mission. You can only save between the missions, granted most missions can be done within an hour, but sometimes it would be nice to save if you have to walk away from the game. The other side to that is, I found that if you did walk away from the middle of a game, you had better remember what you were doing as it could easily affect you. This happened more than once to me.

Getting into the nuts and bolts of the game, it all tends to tie together well. The game graphics have a feel as if you’re really hacking into systems and has a sinister feeling to it. I guess that’s if you think hacking into private servers is sinister. They also did a good job blending it into the game. The voice-overs make it seem a bit more realistic, yet the music tracks were hit or miss. Sometimes the music seemed to flow with what was going on, and other times almost seemed a distraction. Hacker Evolution: Untold has quite a large library of music, which is refreshing as we all know since a lot of games seem to play the same music repeatedly and really get annoying after awhile.

Saying all that, you’re not going to become a criminal mastermind in cyberspace because of this game, but you can have loads of fun pretending to be one (even if you’re on the good guys side). Yet the really great thing about this game is they leave it open for fans to be able to create mods for the game. I personally am not great at programming, so it’s not for me, but I’m sure some great mods could be made. For the casual gamer, I am not sure you will have the greatest experience with the game as it can become frustratingly difficult. Sometimes you will be forced to start over a lot. If you’re like me, and have to finish every game, this will be a game you will want to check out. I’m very happy I stepped out of my comfort zone to play this game, as it was worthwhile. It feels realistic, following the storyline kept it interesting, and now I must go save the world again.

OS : WinXP , Vista , Win 7

Need For Speed: Shift PC

2009-10-08T17:01:00.000+05:30

Need For Speed: Shift

EA Sports

Things We Like

Identity Shift: Need for Speed: Shift represents a transformation for the NFS franchise. Gone are open-ended cities laced with dangerous highways, seedy underground street racing and cops willing to chase you all about. Shift casts away the cheesy cell phones calls and inter-city drama and offers up a hybrid arcade and simulation experience that drops you into a loosely defined system of tier-based racing. When you start Shift you'll begin on Tier 1 with enough cash to buy your first car. After that the game opens up, allowing you to race in events you've unlocked and purchase more cars as you get further in the game.

Keep It Moving: Shift does a great job rewarding your career progress. After successful races the game will open new events, new tracks and higher tiers. By winning you'll also get plenty of cash to buy and upgrade cars. The game has four Tiers, which feature cars of relative performance, and culminates with a World Tour Championship. As you work through career mode the game offers up Invitational races that allow you to get a taste of higher Tiers and faster, flashier cars. The Invitational events give you a sense of what's to come in the game and are great opportunities to make more cash to buy the cars you'll need to dominate the Tiers you've unlocked. The race types in the game are fairly standard: including one on one driver duels, manufacturer races, endurance races, drifting, mixed field races, time attack, hot laps and eliminator races. The drift races are probably the least compelling of the lot while the manufacturer and eliminator types offer the most excitement.

Casting Call: Shift tracks what kind of driver you are by awarding driver skill points for your behavior behind the wheel. Your actions are interpreted into two buckets, aggression and precision. Aggression points are accrued by spinning out opponents or ramming them. Precision points come from perfectly timed starts, clean passes and from handling corners correctly. Outside of the scoring you're also awarded a myriad of badges that also track your driving style. Your driver type is used to help match you in online play. It's a good system to keep you away from online drivers that don't race they way you do. Between the points and badges you're constantly leveling up your racer while leaving a clear footprint of what kind of driver you are.

Eye Candy: As soon as you start to race in faster cars, Shift does a great job of making you feel as though you're really moving. The car models are generally good and the tracks and backgrounds feature a nice amount of detail. The game offers the standard fare of racing views, but the cockpit view is especially effective and immersive. While I preferred the hood and wheel-level views, you're sure to find one that works for you. The game features a decent amount of car damage, though it's fairly forgiving in terms of car performance. The sound design in the game is a real standout. The game doesn't play music during the races which allows the rich and varied sounds of the cars to shine through. Crashes in the game are also handled well. When you collide with enough force against a wall or another car your vision is briefly blurred, which is good as it adds some consequence to ramming another car and also makes the collision feel more real.

Things We'd Change

Thanks A Lot: There's a total of 72 playable cars in Shift. On one hand it's nice to see fewer cars clogging up your garage that you'd never want to race anyway. On the other hand we've come to expert more cars -- a lot more -- in serious racing games. And while we love the entrants from Honda, Porsche, Lamborghini, Zonda and others, we sorely missed Ferrari here.

Weather Or Not: Granted this is a strong freshman offering from EA, but we really would've loved to race in weather, and for that matter, at night. No doubt changing the physics and graphics to accommodate this is a challenge, but our hats and racing goggles will be off to the game that finally nails both.

Need More Speed: The load time between each race, presumably as the track loads in, is pretty bad. While 20-30 seconds doesn't seem awful the first few times, enduring that race after race isn't appreciated. We'll throw down the checkered flag on the game that actually rewards users with faster load times for completing hard drive installs. It's about time.

Bottom Line

Shift sits somewhere between a pure arcade and a pure simulation game. If you're a purist on either end of the spectrum you might not gel with this game. But if you're an open-minded racing fan there's certainly plenty of great gaming in Shift to tide you over until Forza 3 and Gran Turismo 5 drop.
