http://rapidshare.com/files/34139754/How_It_s_Made_computer.avi



The True Story of the Internet is about a revolution -- the technological, cultural, commercial and social revolution that has radically changed our lives.

And for the first time on television, we hear how it happened from the men and women who made it possible.

From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google and many others, we hear amazing stories of how, in ten short years, the Internet took over our lives. These extraordinary men and women tell us how they went from being geeky, computer obsessed nerds to being 21st-century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. And, how they made untold billions along the way.

The style of the story-telling is up close and personal. With first-hand testimony from the people that matter, we tell a story that has all the excitement of a thriller -- full of battles and back-stabbing, moments of genius and moments of sheer hilarity. You will never surf the net in the same way again.

Download is hosted by technology journalist John Heilemann . He's an edgy, combative, hi-energy New Yorker who never takes anything at face value. He's also a personal friend of most of Silicon Valley's most important characters and he revels in craziness of it all. After all, this is a story in which 20-year-olds become overnight billionaires, create, destroy and re-create more wealth in ten years then human race has ever seen, and still struggle to get a date.



Part 1: Browser Wars
This is the story of an epic battle between America’s mightiest corporation and a small group of “computer geeks” who created a revolutionary technology.

Print from an HP iPod

Step one: Ensure that the images and the HP iPod meet these requirements
  • Images must be in the JPEG (.jpg) format.
  • The HP iPod must be formatted in Windows (FAT 32 file structure).
    To see if the HP iPod is formatted for Windows, go to Settings , and then About on the HP iPod. If it is formatted in Windows, Format Windows displays at the bottom of the screen. If the HP iPod is not formatted in Windows, connect it to a Windows computer using the USB cable and follow the on-screen instructions.

    NOTE: The HP iPod defaults to the Macintosh file structure, therefore iPods connected only to a Macintosh computer are not compatible with the printer. However, after connecting to a Windows computer, the Macintosh user can still fully synch their HP iPod back to Macintosh and Mac iTunes and maintain printer support.
Step two: Import photos to the HP iPod
  1. Copy photos from the memory card to the HP iPod using the Belkin Media Reader for HP iPod.
  2. Make sure that the photos are on the HP iPod by selecting Photo Import on the HP iPod menu. Photos appear as "rolls".
Step three: Print photos from the HP iPod
  1. Connect the HP iPod to the printer’s front USB port using the USB cable that came with the iPod.
  2. The printer LCD displays Reading Device . Due to the large capacity of the iPod, this could take several minutes.
  3. The printer LCD then displays the number of photos found on all film rolls stored on the HP iPod.
  4. Select a photo to print and press the Print button. Refer to the printer's User’s Guide for more information on selecting photos to print.

Trojan Remover description


This application aids in the removal of Trojan Horses from a computer
Trojan Remover was written to aid in the removal of Trojan Horses and Internet Worms when standard anti-virus software has either failed to detect the problem or is unable to effectively eliminate it.

The majority of Virus and Trojan Scanners are well able to detect malicious Trojan Horses and Internet Worms but are not always very efficient in removing them once they have been triggered.

Trojan Remover was written specifically to carry out such a removal without the user having to manually edit system files, including the Registry.

The program also removes the additional system modifications some Trojans carry out which are ignored by other Virus and Trojan Scanners.

Trojan Remover examines the system files, including Windows Registry and will determine the programs and files that are loaded at boot time. The vast majority of trojans are loaded this way.

Trojan Remover will scan ALL the files loaded at boot time for Remote Access Trojans ('backdoors', like NetBus, SubSeven, Optix Pro, Back Orifice etc.), Internet Worms and other malware.

For each identified Trojan Horse, Worm, or other malware, Trojan Remover will pop up an alert screen showing the file location and name; it will offer to remove the program's reference from the system files and allow you to rename the file to stop its activation.

Note: Trojan Remover will not work on 64 bits operating systems.

Limitations:

· 30 days trial
· Nag screen

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Added new heuristic detection routine to check for multiply-loading DLL files.
· Added routine to replace virally-patched USERINT.EXE with a good copy if one exists on the system: if a good replacement cannot be found a warning is displayed with instructions on how to repair the system.
· Improved removal of heuristically-detected rootkits.
· Confirmed compatibility with Windows 7 (Beta).
· Minor visual modifications.

Have you ever seen a video on YouTube and wanted to put it onto your computer or MP4 player, well you would be pleased to know that there are plenty of services out there that will do that for you.

I am going to talk about one, called DownloadYouTubeVideos.com, to download the video you just insert the URL of the video on YouTube and click the Download button.

You will then be taken to a page where you can download the video, you must now right click on the download link and select Save Target As (IE) or Save Link As (Firefox), change the file type to All Files and give the file a filename, you must add .flv to the end of the filename (Eg, Thevideo.flv).

The video will download. You will need an FLV player or some FLV converting software, for the FLV player i suggest a program called Wimpy FLV, the software is available for both Windows and Mac.

To convert the videos for use on an MP4 player, I use a site called vixy.net, this can both convert straight from YouTube into a whole host of video and audio files, or you can convert the FLV file you just downloaded.

I hope that this has helped, if you have any questions leave them as comments.

The Consolidated Diamond Mine, owned by De Beers, is reputed to have the largest private earthmoving fleet in the world. It has been a virtually secret operation since the early 1900’s. There are enough antique machines to stock a museum.

Heavy Duty Machine Graveyard

Once a vehicle or piece of equipment enters De Beers diamond mining area, it is never allowed to leave. Since its not practical to search for an object as small as a diamond, De Beers simply assigns all these outmoded vehicles and machines to this eerie graveyard. It was an amazing sight, but I was most frightened of seeing a snake hiding amongst the rust.

Here you can see Sherman tanks, a train of turn-of-the-century railroad cars with German markings and an ominous looking World War 11 battle tank with a British insignia on it had a huge steel blade welded in front of the gun turret as De Beers converted these tanks to bulldozers after the war!

The game show fever in Bollywood starts from "Kon Banega Crorepati" which is host by first Amitabh Bachchan and then Shahrukh Khan. After that there are many game show been on Indian televisions. Shahrukh did his 2nd game show named "kya aap panchivi pass tez".

Shahrukh Khan Moment of Truth  Indian Game Show

Now Shah Rukh Khan is negotiating with Star Plus to host an edgy reality show based on Fox network's 'Moment of Truth.' The show's 21 episodes first season, hosted by Mark Walberg, premiered on January 23, 2008 and drew a creditable response prompting Fox to go for a second season.

Contestants in the show are asked a series of 21 increasingly embarrassing questions concerning their close friends, colleagues and relative. They are eliminated anytime they don't answer truthfully. In the run up to show, contestants are strapped to a polygraph and asked more than 50 questions. The veracity of their response to each of the questions is determined and recorded by a polygraph expert.

During the actual show contestants are not hooked to a polygraph, instead 21 of the 50 questions asked earlier are repeated. At any time, between the polygraph and the televised game, participants can change their answers or walk away from the competition. Friends, colleagues, and family of the contestant who are gathered near the player have access to a button which can be used to switch out a question once per game, an option which is introduced to them after the third question.

The Moment Of Truth is being produced in 23 other countries, including Spain, Brazil, Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom.

Standalone Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista is out

Service Pack : Its is a software patch or an update program which fixes a lot of bugs or any present in the previous package. It may be a single update or a group of updates.

A service pack or SP is a collection of updates, fixes and/or enhancements to a software program delivered in the form of a single installable package. Many companies, such as Microsoft or Autodesk, typically release a service pack when the number of individual patches to a given program reaches a certain (arbitrary) limit. Installing a service pack is easier and less error-prone than installing a high number of patches individually, even more so when updating multiple computers over a network.

Service packs are usually numbered, and thus shortly referred to as SP1, SP2, SP3 etc. They may also bring, besides bug fixes, entirely new features

Film titles have gone from baffling to wacky to mindless and very articulate to extremely lengthy. Most titles are longer than the relationship that co-stars share! Every alternate film is known by a short form. If you don’t know what RNBDJ is or if you are unsure about the full-form of CC2C, you are just not in the ring! You need to brush up. We pick the top actors of today to see how the film-title trend has got to them.

Aamir Khan
The leading Khan of today, post Ghajini, made his debut in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (19 letters) in 1988. He was then seen in films like Raakh, Dil and Parampara in the late 80’s and early 90’s. His hit films however, were those with lengthy titles like Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahin (19 letters) in 1991, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander (19 letters) in 1992, Hum Hai Raahi Pyaar Ke (18 letters) in 1993 and Akele Hum Akele Tum (16 letters) in 1995 to name a few. Of course also he had short film titles that were hits; viz Rangeela (8 letters) in 1995, Ghulam (6 letters) in 1998 and more recently Ghajini (7 letters) in 2008. Post 2000, we see Aamir acting in films with a short film titles with the exception of Dil Chahta Hai (12 letters) in 2001, Mangal Pandey: The Rising (21 letters) in 2005, Rang De Basanti (13 letters) in 2006 and Taare Zameen Par (14 letters) in 2007.

Shah Rukh Khan
His recent performance in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi won the hearts of many and brought back tears of joy in the eyes of his fans. SRK started his Bollywood journey with Deewana (7 letters) in 1992. He soon climbed up the hit list with hit performances in Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (20 letters) in 1992, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (17 letters) in 1993, Dil Toh Pagal Hai (14 letters) in 1997, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (15 letters) in 1998, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (20 letters) in 2001, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (18 letters) in 2006, Chak De India (11 letters) in 2007 and his latest hit Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (16 letters) in 2008. His trend for long film titles will continue into 2009 where he will be seen in My Name is Khan (12 letters), Koochie Koochie Hota Hai (21 letters) and Dulha Mil Gaya (12 letters). Will they spell a hit for him?

Salman Khan
The Khan of yesteryear is better known for his controversies now, than his films. He isn’t out of the limelight but he hasn’t been getting the right offers and Salman isn’t able to make the right choice. First seen in Biwi Ho Toh Aisi (13 letters) in 1988, his efforts were only recognized for Maine Pyaar Kiya (14 letters) in 1989 for which he also won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. Since then he has been seen in the huge hit Andaz Apna Apna (13 letters) in 1994, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (16 letters) where he shook his booty with the oomphy Madhuri Dixit. He was also seen in Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya (19 letters) in 1998 and Hum Saath Saath Hain (17 letters) in 1999. Post 2000 the number game didn’t seem to work for him. Whether it was Lucky: No Time or Love (18 letters) in 2005 with Aishwarya Rai look-alike, Sneha Ullal or God Tussi Great Ho (15 letters) in 2008 with lovely lass Priyanka Chopra, nothing seemed to work. Yuvvraaj (8 letters), Hello (5 letters) and Heroes (6 letters) all in 2008 flopped miserably as well. We hardly have a solution to his numerology and now Sallu’s forthcoming films like Veer(4 letters),Wanted Dead and Alive(18 letters) then its Main Aur Mrs.Khanna(16 letters) so we hope that these letters will work for Salman Khan.

Akshay Kumar
Starting off as a small time chef in Bangkok, this man worked his way up in Bollywood and how! Today, one of the highest paid actors and the countries only khiladi man, Akshay Kumar rakes in the moolah be it a long film title or a short one! He started off with Saugandh (8 letters) in 1991. His first lengthy film title came in 1993 called Waqt Hamara Hai (13 letters). After a series of one to two word titles, Akshay transformed into khiladi man with his film Khiladiyon ka Khiladi (19 letters) in 1996. Soon every film of his had the mention of khiladi either in the film’s title or in dialogues in the film. He did a series of action-romance films like Main Khiladi Tu Anari (18 letters) in 1994, Sabse Bada Khiladi (16 letters) in 1995, International Khiladi (20 letters) in 1999 and Khiladi 420 (7 letters) in 2000. Post this, he was seen in more versatile roles in films with shorter titles like Ajnabee (7 letters) in 2001, Aankhen (7 letters) in 2002, Khakee (6 letters) in 2004, Aitraaz (7 letters) in 2004 and Welcome (7 letters) in 2007. His bigger hits have been Bhool Bhulaiya (13 letters) in 2007 and Singh is Kinng (12 letters) in 2008. We don’t think the name is of much importance for this superstar as in 2009 his films like Blue (4 letters), Eight By Ten (10 letters), Kambakth Ishq (12 letters),De Dana Dan (9 letters),Helloo India(11 letters)…will these numbers will be lucky for Akki..?

The trend of long film names and names taken from a hit song of yesteryear won’t meet its end too soon. Newer actors like Ranbir Kapoor (Saawariya to Bachna Ae Haseeno and now to be seen in Ajab Pyaar ki Gajab Kahani) and Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om to Bachna Ae Haseeno and now Chandni Chowk to China) are starring in films with lengthy titles…


John Abraham























ohn Abraham has a unique fascination. He’s in awe of the president of the US of A and he’s no qualms about saying that he wishes to play him on screen.

And when he decided to talk about politics he became bold and said he detested Indian politicians.

He snubbed them for not being able to present role models for our youth.

He’s said blatantly, “I don’t think there is anyone who I should emulate because none in this country comes close to my ideologies. But yes, I think US President Barack Obama is the one who I can praise as a politician. If given an opportunity, I would love to enact a character like Obama than any other Indian politician.”

Recently while launching a campaign called the ‘Ungli Utha Vote Kar’ to encourage the youth of this country to come forward and vote, he expressed his concern on low voting percentage in the country and felt that young people should vote more.

Said he, “I have been regularly casting my vote and I associated myself with this campaign as a representative of India’s youth brigade. I am more than happy if my effort brings any change among the people of this country.”

John doesn’t mind actors becoming politicians but he wouldn’t want to personally walk that road.

He’s stated, “It’s good. I don’t think there is anything wrong if actors are going into politics with the sense of a social responsibility. It’s wrong to say that money is the driving force for everyone to enter politics. I don’t think so I would ever join politics! There is a complete no from my side as far as politics is concerned.”

This statement almost came as a support to Sanjay Dutt who is facing stiff resistance from his own family members for stepping into politics. -Sampurn Media

Shahid Kapoor's stunning Yamaha MT 01 bike is talk of the B-town.Recently when the handsome actor was shooting at Yash raj studios other actors shooting at the same studio, Imran Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan came to check out his bike.

A source says, "On completing his work, Shahid was all set to leave on his bike when Abhishek Bachchan, Imran Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, who were in the vicinity, gathered to check out Shahids's bike. Abhishek especially was so impressed with it that he immediately called up good friend John Abraham, who was doing a promotional shoot for New York in the same building, to come and see the bike."

John a self confessed bike lover soon joined others to rave about Shahid's bike, the source adds, "Apart from the guy talk that revolved around the bike, everybody took turns to feel and sit on the bike. John made it a point to take a ride before appreciating Shahid's bike, which costs around Rs 15 lakh. This guy talk between actors regarding the bike was quite a sight for the onlookers."

Well a stunning bike can even make a stunning girl look pale, hai na boys?

Famous cosmetic company Estee Lauder has zeroed in on their new model, and its none other than internationally Indian babe Freida Pinto.

Freida Pinto will join the list of beauties which includes Gwyneth Paltrow and Elizabeth Hurley as Estee Lauder's brand ambassador.

A source on condition of anonymity says, "Estée Lauder hasn't commented so far, so we can't say anything currently. Nothing is in black and white as yet."

Whoa! The girl is surely going places!

Sonam Kapoor, just two film old and has become a trendy fashionista who never goes wrong with her dresses and this speciality of Sonam made the first Indian celebrity to ever wear an exlusive gown desinged for her by famous fashion house Chanel, at the recent Filmfare awards.

An elated Sonam says, "I just kept staring at the beautiful basic but simple white gown that they sent me. Yes, I think I'm the first Indian celebrity to be dressed by Chanel in Bollywood. I'm so excited. I felt like Cinderella before the ball. Never before have I been so excited about dressing up for an event."

Sonam's impressive photoshoots for Verve and Elle made Chanel to specially send her the gown.

Sonam says, "That's right. My off-shoulder gown came from their special-celebrity collection."

"They just flew over three Chanel gowns for me to choose from. I liked the white one. I prefer light shades and I avoid accessories.They take away from the basic look of your clothes. And what Chanel sent me for the Filmfare Awards certainly needed no enhancement. It was divine per se."

In the new stills from the sets of Raavan we can see the Raavan i.e Abhishek Bachchan looking suave and hot, as his wife stands under the shade of umbrella. Any comment folks?


If you are aware of and follow the releases on the electronic market, you will not be surprised to find out that LG and Verizon Wireless joined their efforts and technologies to create a completely new product: LG Versa Smartphone with advanced web browsing, which will appear on March 1st, 2009. However, you will be, for sure, satisfied with its design and options, for, besides of the LG well-known quality and durability, the smartphone features some new specifications.

The most outstanding and interesting feature of this smartphone is that it comes with a QWERTY keyboard. I do not like to type on a touchscreen (a note: LG Versa has a 3-inch LCD TFT 480 x 240 touchscreen display): for me it is inconvenient. I am sure, there are many people like me, and, at last, this process is made easier. Moreover, this QWERTY keyboard may be used twofold: you can attach it to you smartphone or may leave it at home, if you do not need it.

Another characteristic, which may interest the potential buyers, is the built-in accelerometer, which allows automatic rotating of screens. It is highly convenient and, game lovers will understand me, it can be used to manage their favorite games. 2-megapixel camera of the smartphone offers you the following options: auto focusing, image editor, Face Detection technology, and, to be sure, you can record video. However, to my mind, the camera could have higher resolution. The memory capability of the LG Versa will be the following: microSD memory port with up to 16 GB and it is compatible with Verizon’s Mobile Broadband Connect that allows you to connect the phone to your PC - in this case it will serve as a modem. But you have to remember that the Mobile Broadband Connect will cost you per month and it offers just 5GB.

Concerning other characteristics, the LG Versa is not highly distinguished from other smartphones. It features Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, GPS-navigator, access to Internet, USB, etc. This smartphone will soon be available and it will cost you approximately 200$.


LG and Verizon Wireless has recently announced the creation of the Versa, which they claim to be a real MVP (Most Versatile Phone).

So what makes it so versatile? Well, the big feature is that it comes with a QWERTY keyboard that is detachable, with an LED screen on the back. So if you are comfortable texting without the keyboard, you can just leave it at home.

Without the QWERTY, the Versa also works as a full touchscreen, and has an animated 3D interface with three different home screens and three options of layouts. The web browser is a full HTML that supports Flash and RSS feeds, with three browser windows open at a time.

Other features include a 2 Megapixel camera with face detection, a music player, microSD memory port, Bluetooth, plus it is VZ Navigator capable. Another feature is the Chaperone program, which allows the LG Versa to have its location shared with family members via the Chaperone Web site.

Of course, a lot of phones have the features listed in the previous paragraph. The detachable QWERTY is probably going to sell the Versa the most. I have a suggestion of how to improve it: create a detachable QWERTY that is the size of a normal computer keyboard, and make it so it folds up. That would make the mobile computing experience a lot easier.

The LG Versa should be available at Verizon Wireless stores on March 1 for $199.99 after $50 mail in rebate.

Folks living in the US who have long looked forward to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic handset will be pleased to know that it has finally arrived Stateside after being released in other regions of the world earlier. This looks set to be a feature packed phone without breaking the bank, and potentially offers a high rate where bang for your buck is concerned. The 5800 XpressMusic allows you to tote around a stylish yet affordable music device that boasts a touch screen interface that will appeal to the mass market. More details on this seemingly invincible music phone right after the jump.

First of all, Nokia has ensured that its 5800 XpressMusic covers all bases to satisfy the cravings of more serious than casual music listeners, including a graphic equalizer, 8GB internal memory that can store up to 6,000 tracks on average, support for all main digital music formats and a 3.5mm jack. We heave a collective sigh of relief as Nokia included the 3.5mm jack since that would mean we don’t have to hunt for pesky converters to use with high quality headphones. Just in case you prefer to share your favorite tunes with those around you, there is always the built-in surround sound stereo speakers that can pump up the volume to rock your cubicle (as well as your immediate neighbor at the office).

Touch screen technology is well known to be intuitive, and this is why Nokia has taken this route with the 5800 XpressMusic. Granted, Nokia is still very far behind the game when it comes to building a user interface that relies on a touch screen, but at least they seem to be making progress. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is able to deliver easy and fast access to all music, video and photos via a one-touch ‘Media Bar’ drop down menu. This very same Media Bar also offers a direct link to the Web and to online sharing. Unlike other phones that need updates to support Flash, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic doesn’t with native Flash support for a seamless web surfing experience. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl eiss lens, a virtual alphanumeric and QWERTY keyboard, a pen stylus and a 3.2″ widescreen display. You can pick this up for $399 before taxes and subsidies in the US.

Press Release



Google have recently released a native version of Google Maps, for Symbian.

Compared to the older Java version of the program, this has lots of advantages, the most obvious being start-up speed and runtime speed. Every animation is smooth, loading times are blazing if you have a good connection.

An added feature would be the GPS support. This is really cool as long as you have an always-on connection, especially when on foot. It’s got all of the search features you know from the online version of Google Maps.

Read on for some hands-on reports and screenshots.

I first tried the speed, searching and switching between display modes (important for the E70). It performed really well. There was no crash, the speed was constant, and the searches were relevant and filled with useful info. More on that below.

Afterwards, I took my GPS module and the phone with me and went out for a stroll (and to buy some beer). I was very curious about what results the imperfect precision of GPS would have on a precise map display. The results were as expected: there are some funny situations where your location is displayed as on top of a building block or in the middle of the street. Of course, there’s a precision indicator on the bottom of the screen, which works best as a disclaimer. The best precision I got was 9 meters.

Since pictures are worth way more than words, the review will continue in the form of captioned images. It’s better, simpler, more relevant.

Full zoom out, Google Maps for Symbian
This image’s sole purpose is for showing off. It’s the minimum zoom level. The whole world is on display, and you can click the navigation key/joystick to zoom. There’s a tad of delay between your action and the zoom-in, allowing you to zoom even closer or move the selection rectangle around. In this particular case (Nokia E70), the image is displayed in landscape mode on a 2.1 inch screen, so it’s very very sharp, even if not so big.

cafe search
Now, to ‘visit’ London.. I did a quick search for ‘cafe’ while London was on screen, and I instantly got results for the particular area the map was zoomed on. Pressing a button as indicated at the bottom of the screen cycles you through the search results. The map will move quickly but smoothly to the destination point. Much smoother than on the iPhone for instance. Pressing the key allocated to the search result you are centered on brings you to the next screen…

cafe infos
…which is the info screen. Here’ you’ll get whatever details Google have about the current location. The ‘Directions’ options may be well known from the online version, but this time, if combined with a GPS receiver, you’ll have real navigation, live and with traffic infos. “more results” will give you the full list of results. Then, without opening any item in the list, there are some interesting options:

Most of what you see here can be found in the info page for each result, but it’s more practical to use this view if you don’t need to see the location on the map. Note the excellent integration with the operating system: you can save the information as a contact, and open the web address in its browser.

In the end, here’s a screenshot taken during the stroll. This time, it’s in portrait mode, too. I was actually 2-3 meters away from the little location dot. This is a definite recommendation, it really is an excellent program.
