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

0 comments

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

0 comments
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

0 comments
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.

Tips for Crafting the Perfect Out-of-Office Email

0 comments
Summer is once again upon us, and chances are, you’ve got one or more trips planned. While you may be tempted to keep your phone in your pocket, ever-ready in case of a work emergency, resist that temptation. Instead, set up an out-of-office reply for your email, kick back, and enjoy your break knowing your inbox won’t be flooding with unnecessary emails. Here’s how.
  First, disarm your emailer (“the enemy”) by thanking them for contacting you. This unexpected display of gratitude will catch them off guard and brighten their spirits. And if not, it’ll hopefully entice them to not email you again until you’re back in office. After this, you can be as creative or boring as you want, but follow these basic guidelines for optimal inbox results.  Keep it brief. The emailer may now have to send an email to someone else. Don’t make him or her read through a novel to find out who this person is. They won’t. Indicate how long you’ll be out. This should minimize repeat offenders from filling your inbox until they know you’re actually back. Don’t be condescending, and don’t instill jealousy. You’ll just undo all the goodwill you’ve established with that “thank you” at the beginning of your message. They might even send you additional emails out of revenge. That doesn’t mean you can’t be funny. Or creative. Show your personality! Let them know you’re sipping piña coladas on the beach or trapped in the car with shrieking child. Maybe even cultivate mystery: If you don’t want to share your plans with the world, go with something like “I’m on a top secret mission and unable to divulge my whereabouts.” Triple check for typos. The last thing you want is an inbox filled with face palms or LOLs at a grammar mistake or embarrassing typo. Make sure your autoreply only sends once per contact. So that if another coworker is also on vacation, your accounts don’t get into an out-of-office ping pong message war (which, while funny for about .8 seconds, is really just hell for everyone involved). At the end of your message, be sure to list the contact information for the person running things in your stead. Include their name, phone number, and email address, if applicable. This way, follow-up emails aren’t sent to you, further crowding your inbox and increasing the likelihood that important messages will get lost in the deluge when you get back.  Let’s put all this together in a sample out-of-office message. 
Now you can enjoy your trip somewhat reassured you won’t be returning to a complete inbox nightmare. Oh, and remember to turn off your auto-reply when you get back.

Why Apple Wants to Make a Remote Control for Your Home

0 comments

The smartphone wars are so 2012. Prepare to enter the age of the smart-home wars.

According to The Financial Times, Apple wants to make Jetsons-style home automation a reality, by turning the iPhone and other Apple devices into a kind of remote control for home appliances. Walk in your front door, for example, and your iPhone could send a signal to your thermostat telling it to turn the air conditioning on. Though Apple hasn’t confirmed the rumor yet, the FT reports that the Cupertino-based tech giant is currently developing a software platform that would allow device makers to integrate with Apple’s operating system. The platform could be released as early as next week at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco.

The move would put Apple at the center of the internet of things movement, pitting the company against familiar foes like Google and Samsung. For years, these companies have battled it out for a share of the smartphone market, but they realize the next big battle lies elsewhere. The incremental changes these companies are making to smartphones just don’t excite consumers (or Wall Street) quite like they used to, and the war for the high-end of the market has largely been settled. Just this month, Apple and Google dropped their interminable patent battle over their smartphone technology, vowing to work together on patent reform. But the smart home is another matter.

For years, these companies have battled it out for a share of the smartphone market, but they realize the next big battle lies elsewhere.

It’s a space that none of these companies have quite figured out just yet. Earlier this year, Google planted its flag in this market with a $3.2 billion agreement to acquire Nest, which makes internet connected thermostats and fire alarms.. And rumors are now swirling that Google may be eying an acquisition of the security camera startup Dropcam. Meanwhile, Samsung is building a Smart Home app that would allow users to control Samsung devices, from refrigerators to televisions, on a single platform. But so many questions remain.

Even if Google continues to grow its smart home presence via acquisition, it’s unclear how the company could assemble a network to link all these technologies together. After all, Google hasn’t traditionally been in the hardware business, so convincing consumers to let Google collect data on and control their homes may be a tough sell. Samsung has a long history with consumer electronics, but because the smart home market is so new, it’s unclear how badly consumers want these appliances in the first place. It could be that these companies are investing billions of dollars in a future that no one wants.

That’s why Apple’s approach may make more sense. By developing a software platform, rather than building or acquiring the appliances themselves, Apple is taking on less risk. The biggest challenge for Apple will be convincing device manufacturers to integrate with this new platform. Considering Apple’s market penetration and reputation, that shouldn’t be too difficult. And because we’ve all been living with Apple devices in our homes for years, consumers may not be as scared of Apple-connected appliances as they are of, say, Google-connected ones.

What’s more, if the smart home market does take off, this platform could actually boost Apple’s existing hardware business. After all, if the most coveted internet-connected appliances of the future run on Apple’s operating system, consumers may be more inclined to buy iPhones and iPads over other devices. It could be the one thing that makes the smartphone cool again.

A Marvelous Little Wearable That Tracks Your Activity and Vitals

0 comments

You know what’s great to have on your wrist? A watch. It is, you might even say, wearable. You know what else is Wearable? This activity tracker from Withings, the Pulse O2. I loved the first Pulse tracker from Withings. It had some neat features that weren’t found on most activity trackers, like on-demand pulse tracking, elevation, and the ability to differentiate runs from walks. It also had a great on-device interface, and one of our favorite smartphone apps to boot. The app could also suck in data from other Withings products, like its smart scale and blood pressure cuff,
as well as other apps like RunKeeper. It was great!

Anyway, I left it in my jeans and lost it in the wash, or 
maybe while skateboarding. Could have been the dog. Not completely sure.
So, it turns out that you really need to be able to connect wearables to your body. Withings was a little late on this. The company released the Pulse with its little jeans pocket clip right around the time Fitbit went to bracelets and Jawbone went to bracelets and Samsung went to bracelets, and, why would you put this in your pocket?
Well, now it’s back, as the Pulse O2. This time, with a wristband. Two wristbands, actually—your choice of black or blue. Sure, you can still connect it to your belt or bra or stuff it in your pocket. But you can also wear it on your wrist. Like a watch.
It also has a novel new feature in addition to activity and sleep and heart rate tracking: it can measure your blood oxygen level via an optoelectronics sensor that shoots green and red LED light into your fingertips. (Pew! Pew!) This is a nice metric, especially for asthmatics. And while I remain somewhat skeptical of its ability to do this accurately, I have found it to be consistent, which should help you identity trends.

Windows 7 Installation Guide (with Windows 7 Installer)

Windows 7 Installation Guide
Windows 7 Installer are clean and untouch. Direct Download


In this guide I will explain how to install Windows 7 in a maximum of 40 minutes by both DVD and USB. This guide is for any version of Windows 7 and both x86 and x64 are installed the same way. To start you will need an ISO image of the version of Windows 7 you have chosen and either a DVD or USB Drive. See below for ISO download links.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the system requirements to run Windows 7?
A: The system requirements are as follows:
Of course it's recommended to a higher specification than that MS has given us.
* 1 GHz (or faster) 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
* 1GB RAM (32-bit) / 2GB RAM (64-bit)
* 16GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20GB (64-bit)
* DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
* DVD-ROM Drive or USB Drive
* Audio output capability
* Internet access capability

Q: Should I install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7?
A: If your computer has a central processing unit (CPU) that is capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows, then you can install the 64-bit version of Windows 7.
To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:

1. Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.

2. Do one of the following:
In Windows 7, click View and print detailed performance and system information.
In Windows Vista, click View and print details.

3. In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)

Q: Where do I find a Windows 7 ISO Image?
A: below are links of windows 7 integrated with service pack 1.
below are windows 7 iso image..Direct download
Preparing the DVD from the ISO image

You will need a DVD Burner, a DVD burning software and a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW to prepare the installation disk. You can use any of the popular burner programs out there but I prefer PowerISO. Here is a link to CDBurnerXP - http://cdburnerxp.se/ which is a free alternative.

Using the DVD burning software of your choice, burn the Windows 7 ISO image to the DVD. Make sure you choose a very low burning speed, 4x or 8x, for better results. 

Preparing the USB from the ISO image

Here are the five simple steps that you need to follow to create a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows 7 from USB device:

Note: You need a USB flash drive with a minimum of 4 GB of free space. And also please backup your data from USB first.

1. Download WinSetupFromUSBor Winusb Maker and open it.

2. Run the program, browse to your Windows 7 ISO image using the Browse button. 

3. In this step, you need to select your media type. As we are here to create a bootable USB, simply click on USB Device button.

4. Select your USB flash drive from the drop down box and click on Begin copying button.

5. The WinsetupfromUSB will take a few minutes to complete the procedure.

Boot from Windows 7 DVD/USB
Now that you have created your installation media it is time to start the installation. The first step is to place your Windows 7 DVD into the DVD tray or insert the USB into a free USB port and boot the machine. Your computer needs to be configured to boot from DVD/USB. This is done via BIOS. On most computers, the BIOS menu can be accessed by pressing either the F2 or Del keys while the machine is booting. If you are booting from your DVD select your DVD drive and if USB select the USB drive (It should be an item by itself in the menu but if not select Removable Devices). seeImage 

After your selection press any key if you see “Press any key to continue message” to continue. Next a "Windows is loading files” window will appear. This is loading any drivers needed for installation and copying any needed files into memory. see Image 

Then you will see the Starting Windows Animation appear. see Image 

After a few moments, you will reach the installation menu. Your first step is to choose the Language, Time and currency format, and Keyboard layout. Make your selections by using the pull down menus and press the Next button. see Image 

Here we have the option of repairing a previous installation or Install Now. Since this is a clean installation of Windows 7 and not a repair, Install Now is the proper choice. Highlight the Install Now button to continue to the next screen. see Image

Windows 7 is working in the background. This may take several minutes depending on the system. see Image 

Here we see the License Agreement you must accept before continuing. After reading the agreement, check the box next to I accept the license terms and select Next button. see Image 

Here we would be able to choose an Upgrade install (if running setup from a previous version of Windows, such as Vista) or a Custom (clean) install. Select the whole box containing Custom (advanced) to continue to the next screen. see Image

This is the important step as you need to select the drive which you have already prepared for the Windows 7 installation. Note that selecting a wrong partition will wipe out the data. Also note that the installation creates another small partition of 200 MB if you are installing on an empty hard drive. Don’t worry as the 200MB partition will not be shown in explorer. see Image 
Inexperienced users can simply highlight the unallocated space and click Next. The partitioning layout will be created for them. However, we want to explore additional features. To this end, we need to expand the Drive options (advanced). see Image 

You now have the option to create new partitions, format them with a desired filesystem, change the size of existing or newly created partition (Extend), or delete them. The Load Driver function is usually necessary if you want to create more complex setups like RAID. According to official system requirements, Windows 7 needs 16 GB of free space. However, you can do with less. The minimum recommended space for a partition where you want to place Windows 7 is 10350MB. Eventually, the installation itself will take approx. 7 GB.

Just for your information, here's a snippet of what would happen if you try to install Windows 7 on a partition that does not meet the minimum expected size limit: see Image
After finishing your particular partition configuration that you desire, select the Next button to continue. Windows may restart many times during the installation and you need not to worry about that. This process can take 10 to 60 minutes depending on the system. see Image 

Here we see the system needing to reboot to continue installation tasks. You can hit the Restart Now button or just allow the reboot to happen automatically after several seconds. see Image

First Restart

Here we see progress as Windows 7 updates the registry settings. This process may take several minutes before going to the next screen. see Image

Windows 7 starts up required services at this point in the setup process. see Image 

Windows 7 continues to install.

After initial setup is complete, another reboot is required with no user input. see Image
Second Restart

This is the screen you will be greeted with upon each boot. Windows 7 is starting up! see Image

Setup is now preparing the system for initial booting. Unlike the previous screen capture, you will not see this on each boot. see Image 

Here is where Windows 7 tests the systems video performance to see if Aero will be enabled or not. This test will only last a few minutes. see Image 

Here is where the initial account creation happens. This user will have full administrator privileges and automatically be logged in after setup is completed. Enter in your user name and computer name as you would like it to be identified on the network and then select the Next button. see Image

This screen prompts you to enter a password for the account that you just created. I highly recommend that put password to your account. Enter it twice, and then include a "password hint" to help remind you of what it is if you misplace or forget it. You, of course, should not enter in your actual password in this field, but a subtle reminder to jog your memory. After this information is entered, select the Next button. see Image
The next step is to activate your Windows. uncheck Automatically Activate Windows and do not enter a product key. select next button. seeImage

This screen asks you to configure your Automatic Updates settings. I recommend to most users to Use Recommended Settings here. These options can always be changed later. Make your selection to continue to the next screen. see Image
Ensure that your time zone is entered correctly and that the correct date and time is selected. (I recommend taipei) After this information is verified, select the Next button. see Image

If you are currently connected to the internet the following screen will display. Your location will determine the firewall settings for your newly installed Windows 7. You have three choices: home, work or public network. Home and work networks are supposed to be trusted, so you should not experience any problems adding other machines to your group or sharing data with them. However, the public network is meant to be untrusted. So if you have installed Windows 7 in, let's say, Internet cafe, then you should choose the third option. see Image 

Windows 7 is now connecting to the network. This is where your initial IP address is acquired and internet connectivity is verified. see Image

Windows 7 is finally... finalizing settings. This should only take a few moments to complete. see Image 

Not much to say here. your computer will restart here. see Image 
Your initial desktop is setup here. This process will take a few moments, but only happen once. see Image

Windows 7 is now finished being installed and are greeted with the desktop. It is worth noting that you did not need to log in this time, but after rebooting (or logging off). Activate your windows 7 using this loader see Image 

Post Install

After installation I suggest that you install all available updates via Windows Update and install anti-virus software. I suggest using Microsoft Security Essentials or Kaspersky.


important info:
Support for Windows 7 sp1 ends on April 9, 2013. That means no more service pack 1 updates so if you want updates, install service pack 1.
