Some Tips to extend the laptop battery life.

 1.Do not use the CD drive frequently when the Laptop is in battery power.
 2.It is better to optimize the power option through the control panel option. Select maximum battery for maximum effect.
 3.It is very important to reduce the programs running in the back ground when the Laptop is in battery power as they run at boot up and increase the CPU load and battery consumption.
 4.De-fragmentation of the hard drive regularly is very helpful in making it faster. This increases the efficiency of the hard drive and decreases the power consumption.
 5.Do not keep the charged battery for long time without using it. If once charged, it should be used at least once every two to three weeks.
 6.Use the Dim mode in its lowest range to reduce the brightness of the screen. This considerably reduces the power consumption. If the CPU Fan control is available, reduce it to minimum.
 7.The heat vent is placed on the sides and back side of the laptop. So it is very important to place the Laptop in a well ventilated place during use. As a result, Laptop runs smoothly.
 8.Clean the air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner.
 9.Deactivate the programmes that are running automatically, when the Laptop is running on battery.
 10.It is better to reduce the number of external devices connected to the battery when using in battery power. For example, USB devices, WiFi etc. These devices are powered by the Laptop and use more battery power.
 11.Avoid playing games and playing a DVD in battery power.
 12.Increasing the RAM of the Laptop by adding an additional RAM is one of the very useful things. It allows the laptop to process more and fast rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory increases the hard drive use and increases the power consumption. But the use of additional RAM will increases the power consumption slightly, so use only if memory intensive programmes are used.
 13.Do not store much data especially Audio and Video files in the Desktop since it is running in C drive. Save data in other drives.
 14.Reduce the use of Graphic in the Laptop while running in battery. Graphic and Video cards use much power similar to the Hard drive.
 15.Clean the drives to remove unnecessary files using the Disk cleaner option in the Performance and Maintenance of the Control panel.
 16.Always keep the battery contacts clean. Inspect the battery atleast once in a month. If the contacts are dirty, clean it with sand paper or file.
 17.Hibernate the Laptop when not in use so that, it can be run very quickly and avoids the boot up.
 18.Do only one thing at a time when the Laptop is running in battery. For example avoid combining the job of Typing and browsing. Stop all other programmes and do only one at a time.
 19.Stop the auto save option of Word and Excel while running the Laptop in battery. Since the auto save is working at regular intervals, it increases the hard drive activity and increases the power consumption.
 20.Another important point to be remembered is that we have to choose best Laptops with good features to increase the laptop battery life time.
 21.Switch off the wireless card if you are not interested to access your network or internet.
 22.Reduce the volume level or mute it.
 23.Disabling the Bluetooth option helps in getting more life to our laptop battery.
 24.Disable the unused ports and components like VGA, Ethernet, PCMCIA, USB, etc. while the laptop is running on the battery.
 25.It is better to stop the work if the laptop runs on very less charging battery. Otherwise it may be damaged.
 26.Do not try to work on the laptop continuously for too long.
 27.Be careful when charging your battery. Never hook it up to charge it when you’re not around

Fix corrupted memory card­





Problem1Memory card can be read but not accessed

When you take out a memory card during data transfer, the file structure can get scrambled and ultimately,However, the actual data is still present in it. This can be fixed by the doing the following:

Step 1 – Plug in the memory card via an adapter, card reader or any way you can to your computer.

Step 2 – Check if the memory card shows up in File Explorer, it most probably won’t be accessible but will have the right file system and everything. Note the drive letter path.

Step 3 – Open command prompt, preferably as Administrator and typed “chkdsk x: /r” without the quotes. Here, X is the drive letter of your memory card.

Step 4 – Let the process complete. If it asks to “convert lost chains tofiles”, type “y” for yes.

Step 5 - Done

Problem2–Memory card shows invalid file system (RAW)­
A corrupted memory card can also lose its file system and cannot be used because it’s not in a file system that Windows recognizes. The simplest solution for this memory card corrupted problem is a format. Here’s how you go about it:

Step 1 – Connect your memory card to PC via adapter/card reader.

Step 2 – Locate the removable storage media in file explorer, right click it and click “Format”.

Step 3 – Set the file system to “FAT”, not FAT32, NTFS, exFAT or anything else as most portable devices are compatible only with the FAT file system. Leave the allocation unit size as it is and uncheck “Quick format”.

Step 4 – Click format, let it finish and your memory card should be good as new!

Or open command prompt,and type format X: Where X is the drive letter.

Or goto disc management,locate the memory card and format it.

Problem 3 Memory card cannot be read by PC­
Even a problem like this one can be fixed quite easily by simply downloading updated drivers from your PC manufacturer. Always make sure you have the latest drivers and updates.

There could be another problem as well. Newer cards are SDHC (high capacity) and are not readable on regular SD card readers. Make sure to get a SDHC card reader and updated drivers for it installed in your PC if you want to access the memory card on your PC. It’s the same case withthe really high capacity SDXC (Extracapacity) cards.

If none of these are the cases, and even after the obligatory plugging in all ports doesn’t work, then do the following:

Step 1 – Insert the memory card into the card reader/adapter and plug it in to your PC.

Step 2 – Go to Device Manager via Control Panel and look for any devices that show up with a yellow exclamation mark (!).

Step 3 (a) – Right click the faulty device and try to automatically update drivers. If you are unable to, uninstall it, remove your device and restart computer. Alternatively, you could also right click and click “Scan for hardware changes” once it’s uninstalled.

Step 3 (b) – If your device still doesn’t show up, go to the “View” tab and click “Show hidden devices”. Now you might be able to see more faulty or greyed out devices. Right click, uninstall them and restart your computer with the device unplugged.

Step 4 – Once it’s booted up, plug it in again and it should be recognized.
Also, make sure that the little lock on the side of your memory card is not engaged.
The above steps will most probably get your memory card fixed, unless it’s completely damaged. Finally, if nothing works, the only solution is to buy a new memory card. Although, it would be a good idea to try and recover your data using a tool like Recuva.

New trojan hijacks your PC for Bitcoin mining-spread via Skype­




Bitcoins­ is an open source virtual currency,and has an exchange value of US$165. The process is

called"mining", and it allows the user to allocate their computer's resources to the Bitcoin server, increasing

the server's security and processing power. In return, the user can generate Bitcoins. What the computer is

actually doing is solving complex mathematical problems. One home computer working alone could generate

maybe one or two Bitcoins a month.


The best way to get a lot ofBitcoins, then, is to have a lot of computers working on the problems and that's

what a new trojan is designed to achieve.


This is spread via a Skype message reading:

"This is my favourite picture of you",

and including a bit.ly link. When the user clicks on the link, the computer automatically starts downloading a

file called

"skype-img-04_04-2013.exe".

This is the trojan.

It then affects your computer. So be safe,Think twice before you click any unknown links containing .exe

files.

Facebook Home hands on impressions



          Facebook Home, the launcher aimed at overtaking your Android phone has just leaked out in a half baked beta release. We took it for a spin on our Google Nexus 4, and found it to be quite buggy, but using the UI for the first time was a fresh experience. So, what do we think about the Facebook home? Will it change your mind about Facebook on mobile? Should you go for Facebook home, if you are a heavy user? We will try to answer them in our initial hands on impressions, past the video below -



We were required to install three APKs to make the Facebook home work. Once installed, you need to select Facebook home as the default launcher.


The first screen on the left is the one you get once you unlock the device. The background is a slide show of your news feed with pictures animating slowly with the Ken Burns effect. On the top you can see the information about the photo. The round button at the bottom is the profile bubble, which, on activation reveals three quick shortcuts. On the left is the camera, which currently doesn’t work, while on the right is the most recently opened app, and on the top is the shortcut for the app drawer shown on the right.

The app drawer has all the pinned apps, which are selected from the app list when you swipe to the right. Above the pinned apps, there are three facebook shortcuts for posting a status, a photo and a check in. While these are not working in the current build, it is expected that they will get the respected functionality done.



If you have received any notifications, they will appear on the lock screen and you can swipe them away or tap to open them. If there are a bunch of notifications, you can grab them and throw them with a swipe down gesture. Coming back to the cover feed, you can quickly preview the likes and comment on the photo by touching the bottom right part of a cover feed picture. Shown on the right side picture above.



Since this is a beta app, there are two Facebook home settings, one is full of developer related tweaks and filters, while the other is more facebook management oriented, with full of filters and notifications tweaking. The one above is labeled “Facebook home settings”, and the one below is labeled just “settings” when you press the overflow menu.


For now, only a few functions work as we said earlier. We couldn’t get the camera or the chat heads working for example. Clearly is a beta app, and we hope to get the real deal on the 12th, which is just 4 days away.

So, coming to our impressions. Basically the cover feed is a slide show of your news feed in full lock screen style pictures and a nice animation. Do we like it? Yes. It is beautiful and makes browsing the news feed easy and liking, commenting from outside the app is much welcome. The app list with pinned items too makes sense, but we definitely miss our widgets. Once enabled, the Facebook shortcuts on the app list will make sense, but currently we can’t do anything about it. Overall, we find the aesthetics pleasing to the eye and the animations really snappy, which, for a beta app, is a great achievement.

If you are totally into Facebook and it is really an important part of your life, then we think Facebook home is the right fit for you. However, we are slightly concerned with privacy, because the lock screen is going to show everything. If that’s totally not a problem then, Facebook home should be really enjoyable.

Also, this changes the game considerably in the social networking space. Facebook have managed to create something so integrated and far from the default experience, making any Android phone look like a Facebook phone. With Facebook being the numero uno app in all the smartphone app stores, it’s not really hard to guess if Home will be widely accepted or not. Starting 12th, we will be seeing it roll out to a few devices and then more, with monthly updates planned for adding more functionality. Exciting times ahead.

Have any questions about Facebook Home on the Nexus 4? Let us know in the comments section below.

WhatsApp, Skype, Viber breaking rules: Saudi Arabia





        Saudi Arabia warned today of "suitable measures" if providers of internet messenger applications such as WhatsApp fail to comply with its rules, days after the industry said authorities wanted to control such traffic.

"Some telecom applications over the internet protocol currently do not meet the regulatory conditions" in the kingdom, said the Communications and Information Technology Commission in a statement carried by the official SPA state news agency.

These applications include WhatsApp, Skype and Viber, and allow text and audio communication over the Internet.

The commission has told service providers in Saudi Arabia to work with the developers of such applications to "quickly meet the regulatory conditions," but it did not specify how they violate the rules in the ultra-conservative country.

"The commission will take suitable measures regarding these applications and services if those conditions are not met," it said, in a veiled threat to ban the programmes.

Industry sources said this week that the authorities had asked telecom operators to furnish a means of control that would allow censorship in the absolute monarchy. One source said the providers had been given a week to comply.

An industry source said telecom operators were behind the move, accusing the Saudi Telecommunications Co. (STC), along with Mobily and Zain, of asking the commission to impose censorship because of the "damage" caused by free applications.

In the neighbouring United Arab Emirates, most Skype applications and Viber calls are blocked, but WhatsApp messenger remains accessible.

The two Gulf neighbours in 2010 threatened to ban BlackBerry instant messaging and demanded that the company install local servers to censor the service.

Instant messaging services on BlackBerry remain uninterrupted, but it is not clear how far the Canadian smartphone manufacturer went to comply. (AFP) ASY

New T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 521 Windows Phone 8 handset hits the FCC



   Cheapest Nokia Windows Phone 8 device to date is called Lumia 520 worldwide, but you will be able to buy the Lumia 521 from T-Mobile USA.

The fourth-largest U.S. carrier has already confirmed that it will launch the new Lumia, but did not specify an exact release date. However, I think the time is now, as the smartphone (going by the model number RM-917) has been approved by the FCC today.

As expected, the Lumia 521 has AWS connectivity, and will (probably) sold by T-Mobile 4G HSPA + device. Other than that, expect the new terminal WP8 to offer: a 4-inch screen with 800 x 480 pixels, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, A-GPS, Bluetoth 3.0, 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor, Adreno 305 GPU, 5 megapixel rear camera, 521MB of RAM, MicroSD card support (up to 64GB), 8GB of internal memory and a 1430 mAh battery.

I guess T-Mobile will sell the Nokia Lumia 521 free on the contract. The vehicle is already selling two Windows Phone 8 mobile phones – Nokia Lumia 810, HTC and 8X, both offered for $ 0 with new arrangements of 2-year contract.

U.S. aside, the Lumia 520 is going to be released in most of the world soon, even in large markets like China and India – where the smartphone has considerable potential to become a best-seller.

Apple iTV rumored to have 4K display


       
          A year ago, the rumor says that Apple may launch its mythical iTV in late 2012. When that time came,

however, rumors himself said that deals content had thrown a spanner in the works, delaying all rumored. So

perhaps it is not surprising that the rumor has reared its head again – now says that the iTV will be released

in late 2013 or early 2014.

This Tiny Car Drives Itself





      We've seen some cool ideas for self-driving cars, but it's complicated designing one that can work alongside other, human-driven vehicles. One way to get around that? Make a teeny, tiny car that's small enough to take to the sidewalks, squeezing through urban walkways instead of the road.
Unveiled Tuesday in Tsukuba, Japan, the Hitachi Robot for Personal Intelligent Transport System, or goofishly acronymed "Ropits," is a one-person vehicle designed to shepherd people with difficulty moving. It uses GPS and laser sensors to stay on course, and a gyro sensor to keep upright on un-even ground. That tech is especially important for a vehicle like this, since sidewalks and other pedestrian areas aren't as uniform as roads.
Sounds simple enough to operate, too. After hopping in, a passenger gives direction through a tablet PC that stores maps. Tap a point on the map, and Ropits zips off to destination.
But if you're not totally comfortable with the idea of having the car drive you instead of the other way around, Ropits also has a joystick that can be used to steer in emergencies.

NEW BLACKBERRY Z10


Highlights

 - 4.2 Inch HD Display
 - 1.5 GHz Snapdragon Dual Core Processor
 - 2GB RAM
 - 8MP Camera
 - 16GB On-Board Storage
 - 1800 MAh Battery


         The Z10 ditches the traditional QWERTY keypad that has become a hallmark of RIM BlackBerry in favour of a full touchscreen device. Featuring a 4.2-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1280 x 768, the Z10 has a pixel density of 356ppi – a touch higher than the iPhone 5′s.

Inside, there is some confusion with regards to the Z10′s processor. BlackBerry only revealed that the Z10 is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, with no mention of the company producing it. The Verge and Ars Technica state that the processor is a Texas Instruments OMAP 4470, but others, like CNET and CrackBerry, states that the processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Plus. Otherwise, there is also a generous 2GB of RAM, as well as 16GB of flash storage. There’s also a microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB memory cards.

Round the back, the Z10 has the industry-standard 8MP camera which is capable of shooting 1080p videos. The camera’s software also has a nifty feature called Time Shift, which snaps several shots at quick intervals, and users can then select the best shot – similar to Samsung’s Best Face and Nokia’s Smart Shoot features. In front, the Z10 also sports a 2MP camera capable of 720p video recording. Connectivity wise, there’s the usual set of radios such as WiFi, Bluetooth and also NFC. The Z10 is also an LTE device, there’s also a micro HDMI port, in addition to micro USB.
