Computer Tweaks

1] Never trust sites that ask you for money in return of Hacking Software's or who claim to Hack Email Id’s in return of money. All such things are Scam . Nothing Works. 2] There is NO DIRECT SOFTWARE to Hack Facebook , Google , Yahoo or any other big website. All the software's that claim to do so are scam. They are just meant to take your money and in worse cases, those software's have Trojans or key loggers in them. As a result your account gets hacked trying to hack others. 3] NEVER EVER use the keyloggers or Trojans you find as freeware on internet.Hackers are not fools. They compile keyloggers and Trojans almost with any such software and when you install them , you are already hacked before even trying to hack others. 4] You are never going to be a good hacker without the knowledge of programming and scripting languages. When you are going to use only ready made software's and would depend on them for hacking anything then your functionality would...

Facebook has recently introduced the new security button on its main navigation panel. You can see it in your Facebook profile. (at right side of Home)   This is a very useful action by Facebook, it should have been done long back as security has always been major concern while using Facebook.

Now they can easily manage their profile security.  Here is what Facebook offers in this newly introduced button: When you click on the Security button (A lock with three horizontal lines), you will see three options. 1) Who can see my stuff? Click on this option and you will see a menu: The menu gives you four options as you can see in the figure: a) Who can see my future posts? From here you can manage who see you posts. You can make it for public, friends, friends of friends, only me or you can set selected people to see it. b) Where can I review all my posts and things I...

Facebook now allows users to signup on Android Messenger using their Name and Phone Number. We have heard that Facebook is proceeding to purchase cross platform chat system WhatsApp. But as It has opened up its doors, it is clear that it wants to wind up other competitors even in this field. Now Facebook wants to become most popular and widely used in Mobile phones too.  “The big thing is obviously going to be mobile,” Zuckerberg told BusinessWeek . “There are 5 billion people in the world who have phones.”   Facebook Messenger lets you connect to Facebook accounts on mobile devices and the Web, allowing Facebook to connect users no matter the device or computer they are using.  According to TheNextWeb "Facebook says the update to Messenger for Android is available today, with frictionless signups becoming available over the next few weeks."

Windows store has passed the count of 20,000 apps adding more than 7000 apps in past two weeks. According to statistics more than 18,000 apps are free. If this goes with the same rate: Windows store may reach 30000 or 40000 apps by the end of this year.  20000 apps is really a great milestone for any new app store. Developers are now concentrating on making apps for Winodws 8 (a new candidate has arrived in this race; after iPhone and Android now its Windows 8 ).  Windows 8 sales might not be to the mark as expected by Microsoft , but its increasing steadily. With this rate of new apps coming for Windows 8, for me Windows 8 is a winner and will do good in long run.

Microsoft Office for iOS and Android: Recently we got this news that Microsoft will be launching Office for iOS and Android. It will be launched by the time Microsoft will launch Windows  8 and new version of Office , in November this year. Microsoft Office is a product of Microsoft that truely has no competition. We all love it. The version coming for iOS and Android will have complete Office, it will include Word, Power Point and Excell. It is not yet confirmed that it will be available for all iOS devices or only for iPad. (I think it will for all devices including iPhone, iPad and iPod). Many people think it's very late for Microsoft to take this action. Even I agree with that, but atleast they have taken this step now! Windows 8 is completely on stake, as every big manufacturer is in doubt with it's success. We hope Office on iOS and Android will get good appreciation.

Facebook stock has dropped 18% from its IPO price, losing over $15 billion in market cap. Source: Business Insider

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. Founder of Zurker?   Nick Oba : A failed enterepreneur who started a magazine website and had to close it afterall.   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 v...

I had posted about Facebook IPO as I had expected a lot from it. But it din't go the way Facebook and Facebook lovers expected it to go. Here is the complete story that Yahoo shared:    SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The historic initial public offering of Facebook Inc did not go as planned on Friday, as the social networking company's sky-high valuation combined with trading glitches left the stock languishing near its offering price at the market close. Facebook shares, which opened up 11 percent, closed at $38.23 after a nail-biting last half hour of trading when the shares dipped to their $38 IPO price. Most investors had predicted a first-day pop. More than 576 million shares changed hands, setting a trading volume record for U.S. market debuts. The company had priced its IPO at the top end of its target range and increased the size of the offering, becoming the first U.S. company to go public with a v...

Finally the day has come!!!! Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is set to make at least $846 million as the company goes public. Facebook had announced that it will sell 337.4 million shares at a price range of $28 to $35 in its initial public offering. According to the company’s filings with the SEC, Zuckerberg will be selling 30.2 million of his own shares.  On the low end of the price range, that would make him $846 million richer. On the high end, he would net $1.05 billion. According to the filing, most of that money will go to paying Zuckerberg’s taxes. Which, considering the 60 million shares the CEO will acquire through an outstanding stock option, are about to increase significantly. Facebook’s valuation of $88 billion or more would make it the most valuable U.S. company today (after IPO) The record is currently held by Google, which was valued at $23 billion when it went public in 2004.

Microsoft revealed the different flavors of Windows 8 . The functionalities will be of course different, people will get a choice according to their needs. Microsoft's next OS for PCs and tablets powered by 32-bit and 64-bit x86 chips will come in two consumer flavors, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro. Another edition of the x86-optimized Windows 8 will be made available to bulk purchasers, while the Windows on ARM (WOA) offering, Windows RT, comes in just one flavor and is only available as a pre-installed OS. With just four editions, and just two that most consumers will have to make an active choice between, Microsoft is at last going the simple route with an OS release. If the OS comes with more number of versions there are possiblities of confusion for a customer to make a choice among all the available versions. Microsoft has big hopes with this OS. We loved the consumer preview you can check our previous post: http://bit.ly/IXcBrx 

Facebook just filed the preliminary prospectus for its long-awaited initial public offering (IPO). As rumored, the company is seeking to raise $5 billion. If Facebook manages to raise this capital, it will be on a shortlist of biggest tech IPOs of all time. Investment bank Morgan Stanley will act as lead underwriter, with Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan and others to take secondary positions. Shares are expected to hit the market in May. For longtime followers of the social network, this is an exciting time and a culmination of the site’s eight-year rise from Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard dorm room to world domination. (Source: Mashable )
