New Nexus 9 Tablet for $200, But the Clock Is Ticking

The thing about Black Friday deals is that, while many of them are certainly cheap, not many of them involve brand-name, brand-new devices. That’s what makes this one different: If you act right now right now right now hurry, you can pick up the Wi-Fi-only 16GB Nexus 9 tablet on HTC’s website for $200. That’s half-price.

This particular deal is only available on a limited number of units today, and HTC will not specify how many. The company did say that buyers will have their choice of black or white backings. Once the $200 Nexus 9 batch is sold out, you’ll be able to pick up a 16GB or 32GB Wi-Fi-only Nexus 9 for $50 off the normal price: $350 for the 16GB and $430 for the 32GB. The two-tiered special runs through 9 p.m. PT/midnight ET today.

According to our tete-a-tete posted yesterday, the new Lollipop-running Nexus bests the iPad Air 2 in terms of comfy handfeel, portability, speakers, and software, and its screen is just as good as the new iPad’s. The limited-time $200 price is 40 percent of the price of the 16GB iPad Air 2, so that’s a solid deal.

Of course, you’d be settling for the 16GB version, and the Nexus 9 doesn’t have a MicroSD slot for expanding its storage. Technology expert Mat Honan, a senior writer at WIRED, says “Buying a media device–something designed for pictures and movies and data-heavy apps and games with a mere 16GB of storage–makes about as much sense as buying a gas-guzzling Lambo with a four-gallon tank.”

With that in mind, once the limited supply of two-benjamin Nexuses runs out, you might be better off splurging on the $430 32GB model.

[New] Android 4.4 KitKat Features and Release Date

Android's latest version 4.4 which is known as KitKat, is just a few days old, KitKat has several hidden features. Android 4.4 KitKat now allows you to perform many tasks with just your voice. Much like Motorola's Touchless Control, you can say "OK Google" - no need to touch the screen - to perform searches, send messages and more. 

Android 4.4 is only available on the Nexus 5, of course, although Google said other smartphones should be able to upgrade in "the coming weeks." (Any phone sold through a wireless carrier will need a carrier-approved upgrade.) 


KitKat is designed to work on a wide variety of devices with different amounts of RAM, even devices with as little as 512MB. But while memory optimization is the biggest change in this version of Android, KitKat also features a wide variety of new developer features and functions app makers will want to learn and exploit.  

• Android 4.4 KitKat Features: 

Android 4.4 KitKat on the other hand is loaded with new features and tweaks. The full list is long and exhausting, but there are some new features in Android 4.4 KitKat that you should know about. 


1. Full-screen Immersive Mode: Now, you can switch to full-screen to see more and simply swipe from the top or bottom edge of the screen to get the buttons back. 

2. NFC: For those with NFC, Android 4.4 introduces a new, open architecture for NFC payments that works with any mobile operator. 

3. Ok Google: This will let you voice search, send a text, get directions or play a song - as long as you're on the homescreen on in Google Now.

4. Improved multi-tasking: Multi-tasking is pretty good in Android already but Google says it's even better in KatKat thanks to memory optimisation and "improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and more accurately than ever before". 

5. Low-power audio playback: Android 4.4 allows for more hours of audio playback, up to 60 hours on Nexus 5, according to Google. 


6. Calls and messages: The new phone app orders your contacts based on the ones to interact with most and you can also search for contacts or nearby places in the search bar. 

7. Printing: Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages directly from your phone or tablet. 

8. Google Drive: A handy new feature is the ability to save files, from apps like Quick-office, to Google Drive (or other cloud storage providers). 

9. Bluetooth MAP support: Android 4.4 KitKat now supports the Message Access Profile (MAP) so cars with Bluetooth can exchange messages with your device. 

10. Chrome cast support: Google's Chromecast HDMI dongle is supported in 4.4 KitKat for wireless streaming of content such as Netflix and YouTube. 

 11. Chrome web view: Applications that embed web content now use Chrome to render web components accurately and quickly. 

12. Device management: If should lose your precious smartphone or tablet, you can find or remote wipe it with Google's Android Device Manager. 

13. Downloads app redesign: Google has given the Downloads app a redesigned, adding a new sorting options plus list and grid views for all the files you've, er, downloaded. 14. Easy home screen switching: If you love customizing to the extent that you have installed one or more home screen replacements, you can switch between them easily in 'Home' section of the settings menu. 

15. Full-screen wallpapers with preview: Wallpapers now display through the status bar and navigation bar. When picking a new wallpaper, you can preview what it will look like. 

 16. Infrared blasting: Android now supports applications for remote control of TVs and other nearby devices if you have an infrared (IR) transmitter. 

17. Secure app sandboxes: Application sandboxes have been hardened with Security-Enhanced Linux. 

18. Location modes and monitoring: If you make your battery last longer by constantly switching GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile data on and off then there's an easier way in KitKat. 

19. Music and movie-seeking and artwork on the lock screen: From the lock screen you can jump to a specific part of a song or video with a long press on the play or pause buttons. Artwork is now fills the lockscreen. 

 20. Step counting: If you don't want to spend money on a fitness gadget then the Nexus 5 can act as a pedometer to count your steps. 

• Android 4.4 KitKat release date: 

For those of you wondering whether your Nexus 7, Nexus 4 or Google Play Edition of the Galaxy S4 and HTC One is going to get Android 4.4, be patient. Google says the aforementioned devices will all get KitKat within the coming weeks. However, the Nexus 5 will ship with the new platform already installed, as we've all expected. When the update does come, we expect it to be pushed to devices with a notification, or users will have the option of refreshing their software update settings furiously until it arrives.

What Are Computer Viruses

How does it happen? 

The most common way is by visiting sites that are harmfull and/ or downloading files from these sites without taking the necessary precautions to make sure they are not infected by running anti virus software before opening them. Note: If you stublem into a website that pops a message telling you that your computer may be at risk of a virus, or that you have a virus, and it asks you to scan the computer to fix it, do not do it. You will actually install their virus. The problem isn't downloading the program. It is installing it because that's when the virus gets in your system.

Other ways for computer viruses to infect your computer could be copying programs or files from friends through floppy disks or USB memories without running an anti virus first to make sure they're not infected, or by opening infected attachment from e-mail accounts; Especially e-mails from people you don't recognize. As a rule of thumb, never open an e-mail from a person you don't know. Remember curiosity killed the cat. There are some more powerful viruses that just by opening the e-mail (not the attachment), you can get the virus to spread in your computer and infected.

What harm will it do to the computer?

Some malware are programmed to harm your computer by damaging software, deleting files, corrupting the registry of the computer, or sometimes even re-formatting the hard disk, which means, you will loose all your information.

Other types of viruses do not cause harm to your computer when you’re using it, but they will make their presence known by showing a video, or an audio message to your computer when you least expect it which are also known as pop ups.


While they will not harm your computer, they can still create problems as they take resources from your machine (like memory usage) when executing itself. They also take space from your hard drive and since it is running constantly, they will slow down your computer performance.

How to recover files deleted from recycle bin

How can I recover photo video files deleted or emptied from Recycle Bin in Windows 8/7/Vista/XP Computer

As computer users, we understand that deleted photos videos documents such as Microsoft Word docx files, Powerpoint Presentation ppt files, Microsoft Excel files, pdf data, and folders will go to Recycle Bin, and we can restore deleted file from Recycle Bin. But what happens after emptying the Recycle Bin, or deleted the file from Recycle Bin, or files just didn't go to Recycle Bin when they were deleted. Are those files recoverable?

How Recycle Bin works?

When we delete a file from in Windows 8/7/Vista/XP PC hard disk, windows operating system will send it to Recycle Bin. But if you deleted a file from external drive like USB drive, external hard disk, the file will be deleted directly, because Recycle Bin sits on local hard drive, not external drive. Also, Recycle Bin has a limited size. If file size is too large, or Recycle Bin does not have enough space to store the file sent to Recycle Bin, the file will be deleted directly.

How to get back files and folders deleted from Recycle Bin?

The good news is that all files and folders deleted (even you deleted them from Recycle Bin) are still in the hard disk. Windows only marks the space as free so that new files can be saved to those space. So you still have chance to recover those files if they are not overwritten by new files. The bad news is that when you save new file, Windows may store them to the space of deleted files. Once overwritten, deleted files will not be able to be recovered any more. So it's very important to not use computer after files are deleted.

You should also refrain from any further activity on that computer. Do NOT shut down, close or reboot your PC. This may cause applications or Windows itself to save data by creating new files, potentially overwriting your lost data and again making it more difficult to recover pictures. You should also NOT open or close any applications or programs as this may cause files to be updated and saved to the disk. You should recover your files as soon as possible to avoid permanent loss of your data.

The quickest and easiest way to recover lost files and folders is to use a specialist file recovery software package. There are a number of products available, a good one is Asoftech Data Recovery. I will use it as example to explain steps to recover files. The file recovery tool supports Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 desktop and laptop computers, such as Dell Precision, Dell Optiplex, Gateway, Acer Aspire, Dell XPS, HP Spectre One, Samsung ATIV, Vizio Touch PC, Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge, Dell Latitude, Razer Blade, Acer chromebook, Asus VivoBook, Microsoft Surface, Samsung Chromebook, Toshiba Satellite, Asus Transformer Book, Acer Aspire, Asus Ultrabook, Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, HP AMD, HP Pavilion, Sony Vaio, HP Envy.

Step1. Download the free trial and install it to your computer.

You can download the software from
http://www.asoftech.com/adr/

I have to remind you that you do not install Asoftech Data Recovery to the same partition where you lost file for avoiding overwriting the deleted files.

Step2. Select the drive you deleted files from, and start scan the drive

When you open Asoftech Data Recovery, you will see a list of drives, select the one where your files are deleted, then press next. Asoftech Data Recovery will start scan the drive for recoverable files.

Step3. Choose your target files

Here you can see all recoverable files on the hard disk. You can choose files you want to recover. Then press 'Recover' button to start recovering the files.  

That's it, now all items you deleted but not in Recycle Bin can also be recovered. Don't hesitate, have a try now.

USB drive bring us great convenience because of its portability. However, USB drive also brings us unpredictable risk of data loss. When USB drive is used to carry percious personal and business data, an accidentally operation like delete or format will cause valuable data loss. System corruption, file system failure, and virus attack are also known reasons for data loss on USB drive. Luckily, USB recovery can help user recover data from USB drive on their own, support files including photos, videos, musics, office documents such as Microsoft Word docx files, Powerpoint Presentation ppt files, Microsoft Excel files, pdf, and folders.

Reasons for USB drive data loss

1. Mistakenly or accidentally delete files from USB flash drive

2. Transfering files from USB flash drive to other deivce was aborted and files were deleted

3. Format the USB flash drive because of wrong operation ore carelessness

4. Unpluged USB flash drive while files are transfering

5. Virus attack or other unknown reason causes files deleted or hidden, or USB drive asks formatting when inserted to computer

Are files on USB drive lost forever?

When above situation happens while USB drive contains very important files, people often worries that those important files are lost permanentally and there is no way to recover data from USB drive. In fact, those data deleted from USB drive can still be recovered. The best way to do so is by using USB data recovery software, and don't save any new files to USB drive before files are fully recovered.

First of all, stop using the USB drive

What you should do immediately after USB data loss is to stop using the USB drive, don't save any new files to the drive, don't connect the USB drive to computer unless it's for data recovery. Doing so will minimize the chance of permanent data loss and increase the opportunity to recover files from USB.

This is because that new files could overwrite the space of deleted files which will make them unrecoverable. So before you get your files back, it is very important to not use USB drive for further data transfer, not to edit any documents on USB drive.

USB data recovery Solutions

One way is to send USB drive to data recovery center. However, these data recovery centers normally charge extremely high price, also, user does not have the control of the privacy of their data.

The most effective way to recover files from USB drive is to rely on USB recovery tool, which allows user to recover the files themselves. There are lots of USB data recovery tools in the market, user needs to choose the right one that best fits their needs. A good USB data recovery software should be reliable, and easy to use, and price should be competitive as well.

Asoftech Data Recovery is one of the best USB recovery software that help you recover files from USB drive lost due to deleting, formatting, virus attack, or other unknown reasons.

Tips for USB drive usage

1. Backup your files regularly. 
Even recovery technology can help recover lost data on a USB drive, but the success rate of USB flash drive data recovery is not 100%, overwrite can make data unrecoverable. Backup files regulary is the safest way to prevent data loss.

2. Do not use USB flash drive after a data loss. 
If the space of deleted files are overwritten, no data recovery technology will be able to recover those files. Even in situation where you saved new files to USB drive, you may still have chance to recover your files, but with more activities on USB drive, chances of data recovery are lower.
