HACK PASSWORDS USING FIREFOX



Whenever you log in to a website using your username and password, you'll be prompted by Firefox whether you'd like Firefox to remember this password.



If you click on Remember, the next time you visit the website, it'll automatically enter the username and password for your convenience.

Now, back to the topic. Let's say you saved your Yahoo password in Firefox. After months or years gone by and you don't remember the password you set for my Yahoo. You started to panic and desperately need to get back your Yahoo password.
Don't worry, here's how you can find the hidden Yahoo password in Firefox.

Firefox is much better than Internet Explorer in terms of managing "remembered" logins. In Internet Explorer, there is no built-in feature where you can manage or view your saved login information. That's why you need third party tools to reveal the passwords hidden under asterisks. As for Firefox, you can access remembered passwords with a few clicks.


To view your remembered passwords in Firefox browser, go to Tools, and click on Options. Go to Security tab and click on the Show Passwords button. A remember password dialog box will appear. Click on the Show Passwords button again and a new column with password will appear.

Block Or Unblock Websites without software !





Lots Of people want to Block some websites that are harmfull to our PC.
Like some parents take care of their children by blocking porn websites and some colleges/schools blocks some special websites that may harm there network.
You may need a costly (or even free) software to block such websites.
Why to spend money and time and why give HDD space to such useless softwares.
Just do this and block unwanted softwares from accesing.

Steps:

1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.xyz.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
5] Done!

-So-

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.blockedsite.com

-->www.blockedsite.com is now unaccessable<-- For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the add like before. i.e. 127.0.0.3 www.abc.com 127.0.0.4 www.anysite.com 127.0.0.5 www.blahblah.com etc * To unblock sites just do the vice versa !

Pervazive Reversing Trend For Indian Technology Companies In US

Wednesday, October 26, 2011:  Conventional wisdom has it that Indian technology companies service US markets and customers through their US presence. Conventional wisdom also has it that Indian technology companies are service oriented, not product oriented.

Turning conventional wisdom around on its head is a young technology company, Pervazive. Presenting a case study of their expansion in the U.S., Nikunj Gupta, CFO of Pervazive said, “Pervazive is positioning our US office as our global intellectual property hub. We are creating a federation of technology product companies that share a common DNA. This federation would provide end-to-end solutions for telecom operators and distinguish itself by the strength of its intellectual property. Using the Fairfax region as a hub, we are looking to spur regional economic development through job creation and exports”………






About The Seminar: US Business Opportunities in the Technology Sectors: Why Now?

The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA), its India representatives InnoVersant Solutions and partners Indo American Chamber of Commerce, Headstrong and Pervazive, conducted business roundtable seminar on US Business Opportunities in the Technology Sectors: Why Now?

The forum highlighted successful business strategies and investment opportunities in the US market in key technology sectors such as IT, telecommunications, finance and homeland security.

This seminar focused on Indo-US trade and investment. Executives from Indian-owned firms located in Fairfax County, Virginia, Headstrong and Pervazive, presented investment, growth, and selling case studies that leveraged service delivery models for the US market and capitalize on investment opportunities. The event also featured a presentation by a representative of the US Commercial Services office in Chennai. 

West Bengal's CID Website Hacked


Sunday, October 30, 2011:  The website of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal was hacked by an organisation known as the Muslim Liberation Army. The access to the website, cidwestbengal.gov.in was blocked recently after officials discovered the cyber invasion.

The Muslim Liberation Army wants to alert the Indian Government of the killing of children, raping of women and imprisonment of innocent men in Jammu and Kashmir through this hacking act. 




The organisation says: “This institutionalised impunity with which the killings of civilians by military and police forces in Jammu and Kashmir continues should be a source of shame for India which propagates to be a democracy!”

It also states that the armed forces are responsible for over hundred deaths of innocent people in a day. They claim that the protector themselves have turned into murderers and rapists.

John McCarthy, AI And LISP Pioneer, Dies

Wednesday, October 26, 2011:  John McCarthy, the man who coined the term artificial intelligence (AI), dies at the age of 84. The news was tweeted by Stanford University where McCarthy was a professor emeritus of computer science.

McCarthy, a doctorate in mathematics, never took the credit of his eminent work in the field of AI. He was widely considered one of the founding fathers of the field. McCarthy will always hold a prime spot in its history because of his development of the programming language used in AI. LISP is one the most-used high-level programming languages today. Only Fortran is older than the language and that too by just one year. 





McCarthy believed that human intelligence can be understood and described succinctly enough that it can be taught to a machine.

During an interview for the book Thinking Allowed: Conversations On the Leading Edge of Knowledge and Discovery, with Dr Jeffrey Mishlove, he said, “I started my work in artificial intelligence in about '56, although I became really interested in it before that, in '49, when I was a beginning graduate student in mathematics. I would say that the field has made somewhat less progress than I hoped, although I didn't have any definite opinion as to how fast it would progress. I think that it had and still has difficult conceptual problems to solve before we can get computer programs that are as intelligent as humans.”

Describing one of the hardest things about AI as giving machines a self-awareness of their part in the world, he said, “One part of the problem is to develop language in which we can express for our computer programs the facts and reasoning about the common-sense world that humans have, and that is necessary in order to behave intelligently. A machine isn't the sum of its parts. If somebody took a car apart and gave you a heap of the parts, that wouldn't be a car. They have to be connected in a specified way and interacting in a specified way, and so if you want to say that the mind is a structure composed of parts interacting in a specialised way, I would agree with that, but it isn't just a heap of them."

McCarthy received Kyoto Prize, the Japanese equivalent of the Nobel Prize, for lifetime contributions to computer science and artificial intelligence in 1988.

TV show builds simulator worth 3 crore to play Battlefield 3

Many of us are going gaga over EA’s latest installment of the Battlefield multiplayer war simulation. The game is going to be out in under a week’s time and gamers everywhere are upgrading their PCs to able to have a realistic experience with the game. At the same time, there are those who want to take things to a whole new level. The Gadget Show, a TV program in the UK has worked along with technicians from across Europe to build what could easily be the most expensive gaming simulator in the world. The entire project cost roughly $650,000 to make - that’s close to 3 crore Indian Rupees. 





rom the teaser trailer that’s available on Youtube, the simulator includes screens that surrounds the player who stands in the centre while images are projected on the screen. The entire experience is made more immersive by strobe lights that flash from the ceiling depending on the terrain and environment in the game. Unlike 3D simulators in the past, where movements are controlled using a joystick in the hands of the player, here the player physically moves around the area while being pushed back using multiple moving platforms on the floor. There are guns and pistols that the player can hold in his hand and aim at the surroundings like he would in the real world. The most realistic effect however comes in the form of real pain as the  player appears to feel it, when a bullet hits him. It's safe to assume we won't be seeing these in homes anytime soon.

Lenovo C325 Multi-Touch All In One Desktop Announced. Priced


Lenovo seems to be quite obsessed with desktops. The computer market is already full of desktops and of course the ‘all-in-one’ (AIO) desktop computers. Lenovo decided to make a difference with the C325 and offer a multi-touch, 20″ LED display which operates at 1600 x 900 resolution. The company also offers regular display under the basic configuration. The Lenovo C325 packs dual-core AMD E450 processor along with Radeon HD 6320 graphics to take care of the high end graphics processing and HD videos. Buyers can opt for about 8GB of RAM, which is more than enough for your regular computing and up to 1TB of HDD storage. As you’d expect, the C325 packs an inbuilt DVD drive & burner. We’ve loved to have a Blu-Ray drive; unfortunately there isn’t an option to choose BDD.

iPad 2 copy clone, it runs Android OS

Under: Google Android, Tablet PC
Date: October 25th, 2011




 

There are many Android users out there that will not use an Apple iPad; this is simply down to the iOS software on board. Not to worry anymore because there is a new iPad 2 copy clone, and it runs Android OS, maybe Android users are now ready for the iPad tablet.


So many companies especially those in China love to rip-off over devices, call them what you may, clones, knock offs, copies, or even fakes, either way you look at it the iPad 2 copy running Android is coming soon.

This has got to be the best copy ever made, it features a 1.2 GHz Freescale iMX535 processor, 4GB of internal storage space, 1GB of RAM, 9.7-inch (1024×768 multi-touch) screen just like the real iPad 2 by Apple, it also features 2-megapixel and 3-megapixel cameras, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, Bluetooth, 3G connectivity and is only243 x 190 x 11.5 mm.

If you look at the 243 x 190 x 11.5 mm size of the clone, this actually makes it slightly thinner than the original. It also comes with a 7600 mAh battery providing up to 7-hours of continuous playback.

If you are an Android user please answer this question “Would you consider buying the iPad 2 look-a-like now that it is running Android?”



UID evangelists set up business incubator

BANGALORE: Three veterans from the technology sector who were previously advisers to Nandan Nilekani's unique identification ( UID) project have established a business incubator firm called Angel Prime in Bangalore to mentor and build startups right from the ideation stage. 

The three co-founders, Bala Parthasarathy, Shripati Acharya and Sanjay Swamy, between them have years of experience in technology giants like Cisco and HP and in setting up startups. Parthasarathy and Acharya were among the cofounders of Snapfish, the web-based photosharing and photo printing service that was bought by Hewlett-Packard in 2005. 



 


Swamy was CEO of mobile payment platform firmmChek between 2006 and 2010. The trio will act as general partners and have raised a fund from 12 individual investors. 

The investments they make are typically in the sub $1 million range and would be made in 2 to 4 companies at a time. 
Incubators provide mentorship services, offer real estate and infrastructure as well as industry contacts to the startup. They come in prior to the angel investor or venture capital (VC) investment stage, when the company is a mere business idea. They take stakes in these companies and could exit at a later stage when strategic investors enter. 

Parthasarathy said that Angel Prime would focus on the domain expertise of the team, which includes mobile payments, e-commerce as well as smart phone and tablet phone applications. He said they understand the common mistakes entrepreneurs make and can help them scale to a stage where they attract institutional funding. 

Angel Prime is currently incubating a startup in the mobile payments space, an announcement on which is expected within the next month. It will also unveil a company in the e-commerce space in the within 90 days, Parthasarathy said. 

Sachin Maheshwari, director at growth stage fund Zephyr Peacock, said that in India business incubators have generally been the forte of large government institutions like the IITs and IIMs. Outside of the universities, incubation is a relatively new phenomenon, the most notable being Morpheus and eBhana. 

Morpheus co-founder Sameer Guglani calls incubation outside of universities as accelerators. He said that universities primarily provide infrastructure and plug and play facilities on a rental basis, while accelerators add greater value through mentorship, contacts, funding etc. 

Business accelerators are popular in the US. Investments are made in different batches of say six months, after which the role of the accelerator becomes more consultative. 

Guglani said one major reason why the concept has not caught on in India is that it works on a fee or commission basis. As these funds are typically small in size, the earnings of general partners are not as lucrative as in the case of a VC fund. Morpheus for instance recently raised a new fund of Rs 6 crore. 

Despite this, more incubators are said to be in the works. Senior professionals from India and those returning from abroad are looking for something more exciting to do with their time. And thanks to the emergence of newer technologies, talented skill base and lower costs, the Indian entrepreneur is generally viewed as promising.

Blogger (Blogspot) Integrating With Google


Earlier today, we reported that Google’s upcoming music service is integrating with Google+ and now we’ve news that Google is looking to integrate their popular blogging platform called ‘blogger’ aka ‘blogspot’ with Google+. It seems that Google’s trying to integrate all their popular social services with Google+. Whether this move is profitable or not; only time will decide. However, we’re quite sure that integration of blogger and Google+ will give blogspot users a reason to check out Google+. This also means that Google+ will have additional features like ‘blog this’ and blogger profiles could be replaced by Google+ profiles.
Blogger.com Blogspot.com Google+ Plus Integration
Google+Blogger+Blogspot!
It seems that integration isn’t final yet. Following message appears on blogger’s edit profile page:  “Connect Blogger to Google+ : Use your Google profile and get access to upcoming Google+ features on Blogger,”. However, ‘learn more’ page displays an error page and we hope that Google engineers will restore it as soon as possible. We’d also expect commenting system currently available in blogger will be integrated with Google plus. There’s however a big issue at this moment – commenters don’t want to show the world their real name in comments and Google+ makes it compulsory for every user to display their real name. There are rumors that Google is actually reviewing this policy and may soon allow nicknames on Google+. If they do, they’ll have a fair chance of competing with Facebook – the current social networking giant. We’d like to ask our readers whether they think integration of popular Google services with the Gplus platform is a good move or not.

Now, Get IIT Researches Online

Tuesday, October 25, 2011:  If you are keen to know what researches are being done at Indian Institute Of Technology (IITs), this one is for you. Students of the IITs are working to collect the details of their research and make it available through a common website for all the institutes. The website is likely to be launched which the students plan to launch by the end of November.

This was a conclusion derived out of a two-day long summit of IIT students called 'Inter-IIT Gymkhana Summit 2011' which began at IIT-Gandhinagar (IIT-GN) on Saturday. Students from all IITs discussed issues which were affecting them in common. The summit was attended by student representatives from 10 IITs including IIT Gandhinagar, Guwahati, Rajasthan, Mandi, Ropar, Indore, Madras and Hyderabad. IIT Kanpur and Bombay joined the sessions online. 



  According to a TOI report, the students emphasised on how they could share research works of students of B Tech, M Tech and PhD students. The argument was that the students are unaware of past researches, they often repeat the same research. If all the past researches are available online, this repetition can be avoided.

The report quoted Kalyan Surapanani, an IIT alumnus, saying, “Students can take forward researches undertaken by other students and carry it forward towards advanced stages. A rich database of a wide range of research could also become a very useful learning resource.” 

Assassin’s Creed movie (nearly) confirmed?


Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise is a highly lucrative one spawning many games, merchandise and now if reports are to be believed, a movie. Movies based on games isn’t a new phenomenon but most of the time they tend to suck which is why people don’t really get excited at the thought of another movie based on their favourite game.

Who would you like to see in the lead role? 

Obviously Sony pictures look at things a bit differently as they’ve been gunning real hard to procure the rights for the movie. And if Fusible is to be believed, they may just have won the bidding war as they registered a bunch of domain names earlier on in the week that go something like this:

assassins-creed-movie.com
assassins-creed.net
assassins-creedmovie.com

iTunes creator to lead Apple's TV unit

AN FRANCISCO: Apple Inc's turning to the software engineer who built iTunes to help lead its development of a television set, according to three people with knowledge of the project.

Jeff Robbin, who helped create the iPod in addition to the iTunes media store, is now guiding Apple's internal development of the new TV effort, said the people, who declined to be identified because his role isn't public.


  


Robbin's involvement is a sign of Apple's commitment to extending its leadership insmartphones and tablets into the living room. Before his October 5 death, Apple co-founderSteve Jobs told biographer Walter Isaacson that he had "finally cracked" how to build an integrated TV with a simple user interface that would wirelessly synchronize content with Apple's other devices.

"It will have the simplest user interface you could imagine," Jobs told Isaacson in the biography "Steve Jobs," released today by CBS Corp's Simon & Schuster.

Trudy Muller, a spokeswoman for Cupertino, California-based Apple, declined to comment. Outside of Jobs's remarks in the book, Apple hasn't acknowledged that it's developing a TV set. According to one person, it's not guaranteed that Apple will release a television.

Until now, the company's TV efforts have been limited to Apple TV, a small $99 gadget that plugs in to a TV and gives users access to content from iTunes, Netflix Inc's streaming service and YouTube. Jobs had called it Apple's "hobby," rather than something designed to be a serious moneymaker.

Prototype model   

That may be changing. Apple has a prototype TV in the works and may introduce a product for sale by late next year or 2013, according to Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray Cos. He based that timing on meetings with contacts close to Apple's suppliers in Asia, industry contacts and Apple's patent portfolio. Munster said Apple also is investing in manufacturing facilities and securing supplies of LCD screens.

Apple's introduction of the voice-command software Siri and Web-storage service iCloud also could be used for a future television, Munster said in a note to investors today. Siri may help search for videos, while iCloud allows customers to store video, music, pictures and other content on the company's servers instead of their own hard drives.

One of Apple's goals for a new TV is to let users more seamlessly search for a show or movie, said one of the people. For example, instead of having to separately check to see if a movie or show is available through Netflix or a cable service, all the material could be integrated, this person said.

Building a full TV set would put Apple in closer competition with consumer-electronics companies such as Samsung Electronics Co. and Sony Corp Apple could sell 1.4 million TVs next year, out of about 220 million flat-panel sets for the total market, according to Munster. That could add $6 billion in revenue to the company's top line by 2014, he said.

Google Inc, which competes with Apple in the smartphone market, also is attempting to attract customers to an operating system it has created for televisions. Unlike that approach, Apple would be building both the hardware and the software.

Along with a television, Apple also may be considering new business models for delivering video. Among the ideas, Apple has discussed whether to try to start a subscription TV service, media executives said last year.

Apple rose 3.3 per cent to $405.77 at the close in New York today. The shares have climbed 26 per cent this year.

SoundJam player

Robbin, the software engineer helping lead the TV effort, was hired in 2000 to develop iTunes after Apple bought the SoundJam digital music player he developed. ITunes, introduced in January 2001, became Apple's digital hub for synchronizing music, video and applications across Apple's devices, including the iPod, iPhone and iPad.

According to the biography, Jobs considered Robbin such a valuable employee that he wouldn't let a Time magazine reporter meet him without agreeing not to print his last name, for fear that he would be poached by a competitor.

Robbin was among the Apple executives who helped persuade Jobs to allow computers running Microsoft Corp's Windows software to use iTunes, according to the biography, a move that helped the company add millions of new customers. The iTunes digital store, with more than 225 million registered users, generated almost $1.5 billion last quarter.

Robbin also was closely involved with the development of the iPod, including participating in a crucial 2001 meeting when Apple decided on the spin-wheel design of the digital music player and charted its expansion beyond personal computers to mobile computing, according to the book.

The grid was initially designed for electronic financial markets with their stringent requirements to robustness, low consumption of memory and CPU resources, ergonomic and simple user interface and rich API. These requirements share a common objective - to gain the first place on the market, to improve development time and to ensure productive work in run-time. As the result, we have created the most productive and robust hierarchical grid with one of the best object models. It can be used in a great variety of applications (not just for financial markets). It makes software user-friendly, reduces CPU and memory consumption and considerably accelerates development time with multiple services included in the grid and RAD (rapid application development) patterns.Data binding:- Binding to IList, IBindingList, IListSource and also to any ADO.NET DataSet, DataTable, DataView, or DataViewManager - Conditional binding supporting any hierarchies and able to bypass hierarchical levels during binding- Simultaneous binding to multiple data sources- Binding to data sources in Rows.Net Grid main features: - Single or multiple headers. - Realtime filtering, grouping, multiple sorting. - Drag & drop features, export/import to/from Excel. - Cell editors, column filters, cell tooltips.- Semi-transparent selection.- Row docking.- XML and binary serialization.- Highlighting cells with any color for the specified time intervalPerformance: - Insertion rate: 100 000 rows/sec.- Removal rate: 600 000 rows/sec.- Real-time regrouping rate: 10 000 rows in a grid of 5 000 rows per sec.- Real-time filtering rate: 7 000 rows in a grid of 5 000 rows per sec.- Updating rate with highlighting: 50 000 cells/second in a grid of 5 000 rows.- Net Grid of 100 000 rows will consume ~16 MBThread safety:- Thread-safe data binding- Synchronous and asynchronous data processing- Thread-safe data adding, removing, updating, sorting, filtering
