What is Zurker after all? Review!!

It is another social networking site. And as they describe themselves, read this:  

"One of the amazing things about Zurker is that it's owned by small investors, rather than venture capitalists. And that's not all. Those small investors are also members here. New members can easily earn a stake of ownership in Zurker, in the form of a vShare, by inviting their friends."


Let's have a look what we found after some research.

User Interface:
It is average. Considering their competition with Google+ and Facebook, the UI fails at providing anything new. I am amazed of people saying it a replacement of Facebook and Google+. The UI is not even user-friendly. When you are using Facebook you know what you are doing (even if you are doing nothing lolz:-) )


Referral system:
The network is emphasising on having vShares in it, but that is only to give hope to people who want to make some free living online. Continous feeding of advantages of referal system. And having vShares in the company. Man, a normal person will end up in frustation. As I did.
And if you use referral links posted on some random FB page or a blog, you end up looking at people you don’t know or you don't want to know. You simply find some strangers out there.
 

Comparison with social networking giants (is it really comparable??? I doubt!):

It could be a good competition, but they have somewhere lost their value by over comparing with other dominanat social networking leaders.  They are insecure bunch of peoples who are trying to fight with Facebook or Google+. They have shown their insecurity on their FAQ page by taking names of other social giant.


 
Zurker is currently in beta testing, and is not available to the general public without an invitation.

How to write a bach file or a batch job?

If your are connected with world of programming, you might have heard this word " Batch File ". A batch file is used to execute a no of operations or a list of commands one after the other often requiring no user input. A no of operations are batched in a file to be executed sequentially when we run that file. In Microsoft Windows Operating system a batch file is a file saved with .bat extension while in other operating systems like Unix and Linux it can be written as a command file shell script.

For example, a batch job could be used to back up many files on a computer system, process log files, run a series of calculation commands, run multiple system diagnostic processes, or any number of other things that require multiple commands to be run. A big advantage of a batch job is that it can be started at any time and left alone until t...

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
