[Tips] Nice source for XBox 360 tips

You love to play games ? Me too. And my console is an XBox 360. Nice one.. and really love it. :) I'm playing Fall Out 3 now. Well, everything is nice until I stumbled on "Ring of Death". If you don't know what is it, check on here for some explanations . Of course the great Microsoft can fix it, but unfortunately, you'll be waiting 1 month for your Xbox to be returned to you (can be longer if your console got some serious problem). Well, I don;t wanna wait for 1 month, so I googled about it and i found: xbox 360 red ring death . Nice site, simple and clear guide. Get their site on my PC, then I found the problem, do something here and there... voila.. back to my Fall Out 3. I recommend you, XBox owner, to add that site on your bookmark list. :D

[Utility] Free video to AVI converter

We have posted some entries about video , some of them are shareware so now is the time for freeware. It's Laweo Video Converter. It can convert most video format to AVI easily. I’ve used it to convert an RMVB to AVI and it worked well. RealMedia Variable Bitrate (RMVB) is a variable bitrate extension of the RealMedia multimedia container format developed by RealNetworks. Audio Video Interleave (also Audio Video Interleaved), known by its acronym AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. These both are popular video format and you can use AVI2Video to convert it each other. Download this freeware   AVI2Video by simply clicking here .

[Game] Puzzle Dimension - Manipulate the rolling ball!!!

Lolisoft is back... After 1 month vacation, now I'm back !!!  Here is a good game for a break, Puzzle Dimension.. Puzzle Dimension is a 3-D puzzle game which requires a little bit of timing and finesse to get a high score--but relies mostly on logic. You manipulate a rolling ball across a framework of tiles arranged in three dimensions, forming loops, curves, and straightaways.  Brain exercise in 3D - Train your spatial visualization ability by navigating increasingly complex 3D puzzles. The objective "pick all the sunflowers" sounds simple - but Puzzle Dimension is not your ordinary game world. Here up and down are relative terms as the gravity depends on where you roll the ball. To activate the portal and move to the next level, you must roll the ball over all of the sunflowers....continuing the long-standing video game tradition in which any attempt to describe gameplay sounds like you're recounting a strange LSD experience...as told to you by a friend. What m

[Joke] Get it enlarged

A little adult  jokes : On their first night to be together, the newlywed couple goes to change. The new bride comes out of the bathroom, all showered and wearing her beautiful robe. The proud husband says, “My dear, we are married now, you can open your robe.” The beautiful young woman opens her robe, and he is astonished. “Oh, oh, aaaahhh,” he exclaims, “My God you are so beautiful, let me take your picture.” Puzzled she asks, “MY picture?” He answers, “Yes, my dear, so I can carry your beauty next to my heart forever.” She smiles and he takes her picture, and then he heads into the bathroom to shower. He comes out wearing his robe and the new wife asks, “Why do you wear a robe? We are married now.” At that the man opens his robe and she exclaims, “OH, OH, OH MY, let me get a picture.” He beams and asks, “Why?” She answers, “SO I CAN GET IT ENLARGED!” Source:  http://novuspost.co.cc/joke/2010/get-it-enlarged/

[Utility] Sculptris - Free digital sculpting/3D modeling program

Image
We've featured some tools for modelling before, but never for a sculpture  software. Here is one for you, Scluptris . This is a work-in-progress sculpting tool that has been developing since early December 2009.  Its main feature is dynamic mesh tesselation that will provide additional detail where necessary, without the user needing to worry about it. Sculptris is a free digital sculpting/3D modeling program that is both powerful and extremely easy to use. It provides a digital modeling experience that is very similar to creating real life models out of clay, whereupon the virtual clay simply materializes from thin air and can be quickly shaped, prodded, cut, modified, and added. In practice the effect is very pleasant; allowing your 3D creations to grow organically, on-the-fly, as the idea(s) come to you. In simple terms, it's sculpting software. It's free, and it's accessible. I once downloaded Blender and spent an hour trying to figure it out to no avail. Wi

[TIPS] How To Convert MySQL to MSSQL

Image
One more tips for you. It's about how to convert your MySQL to MSSQL. As a natural thing, change is inevitable. In technology, it is also present. Because of fast paced environment around us, technology is the thing which never stops from changing itself. A normal thing for any company is to upgrade its system or database systems at regular intervals. Usually they do it to match the requirement of the technology or methods that are being used around them. To adopt the changes in the field of database systems, upgraded databases, or a new version of software or new software is the key to change or upgrade. Normally if we are changing the software, then we have to change our old data according to that new software. And the process of doing so is called Database Migration.

For the conversion or migration of database from mysql to mssql you should buy third-party software. You c

[News] New BlackBerry incoming - Blackberry 6 and Bold 9800

Image
It's been 2 months since our last post about BlackBerry . Now it's time to see BB's news. It's about BlackBerry 6 and BlackBerry Bold 9800. We know that AT&T and BlackBerry-maker RIM have invited reporters to an event next Tuesday. The most likely purpose of this is to unveil the BlackBerry Bold 9800, the first RIM model with a sliding keyboard. This upcoming smartphone is also expected to be the first with BlackBerry OS 6.0. The oft-rumored Blackbery Bold 9800, also known as the Torch 9800, is believed to be the first device that will run Blackberry 6. The 9800 is expected to have the same look and feel of most Blackberry handsets, except that the face will slide up to reveal a physical keyboard similar to the Palm Pre. The 9800 would also have a touchscreen, but the handset may not come with SurePress technology, according to Chinese-language blog BlackBerry Time. SurePress is the oft-maligned tactile feedback touchscreen that debuted in the Blackberry Storm. Ot

[Utility] Opera Mini 5.1 for Android

Image
Another news for Android user, if you use an Android smartphone a new browser from Opera is available for download on the Android market. The browser is Opera Mini 5.1. The new browser version has some new features that should make it appealing to many users. Opera says that the new version is much faster for loading web pages thanks to the fact that it compresses data up to 90% before sending the content to the phone. That means faster page loads and less money spent on data. Since Opera Mini uses Opera's compression technology to shrink pages before they are sent to the phone, using Opera Mini will result in faster page loads -- especially when using slower 2G or crowded WiFi connections. And the smaller data bills aren't a bad thing either! Opera 5.1 has left the beta tag behind, and its final release is a considerable Android alternative. Along with the off-phone page caching that makes slower connections bearable, Opera's added semi-solid pinch-to-zoom and kinetic

[News] [Utility] It's about Skype

Image
Instant messaging will be easir with Pidgin , but no software can do best in video call as Skype. Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing. Skype was developed by Estonian developers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn, who had also originally developed the peer-to-peer file sharing software Kazaa. Skype Limited, the company that operates Skype, was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis with headquarters in Luxembourg. eBay acquired Skype Limited in September 2005 and in fall of 2009 sold a majority stake to an investor group. Now they have a little irony. The mobile application interface Fring annou

[Security] Create Stronger Passwords to Minimize IT Risk

Image
Passwords form our first line of online security, from logging on to corporate PCs to checking status on Facebook using mobile devices. And yet, many of us put convenience ahead of protecting company assets (and ourselves) by using poorly constructed passwords -- or no passwords at all. I admit I've also been guilty of this in the past. When I used to test software builds, I "collected" several workstations in my office to use as test machines. Over time, managing login passwords for so many different machines (each with several different iterations of Windows, Mac OS, and other operating systems installed) became quite a chore. I'd been an adherent of the "don't write them down" school of password-security thought, so that wasn't an option to me then. I thought I'd make life less complicated by creating passwords for all the test machines that were very similar variations on something familiar to me. Although these machines were never used for

[Tips] Gmail with Rich Text signature

Image
Another innovation comes from Google . Now you can have a better signature on GMail with its new improved rich text signature. Mail signature is a block of text automatically appended at the bottom of an e-mail message, Usenet article, or forum post. This has the effect of "signing off" the message and in a reply message of indicating that no more response follows. It is common practice for a signature block to consist of one or more lines containing some brief information on the author of the message. Note that a sig block is not the same as a digital signature. A sig block is easily forged, whereas a digital signature uses cryptographic techniques to provide verifiable proof of authorship. If you hop into the Settings page of your Gmail account you'll see a new signature section with some familiar rich-text editing buttons and options. You can tweak your text size and color, insert images and links, and otherwise format your text as you can within a rich-text Gmail mes

[Tips] Free web site hosting to reduce cost

Image
We have given you tips to build a web site , now it's time to publish it. These task need something called as web hosting. A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own or lease for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. The scope of hosting services varies widely. The most basic is web page and small-scale file hosting, where files can be uploaded via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a Web interface. The files are usually delivered to the Web "as is" or with little processing. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) offer this service free to their subscribers. People can also obtai

[Joke] By the way, what did the chicken do?

Another joke for today... So there's this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like a sailor. I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight without repeating himself. Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a quiet, conservative type, and this bird's foul mouth is driving him crazy. One day, it gets to be too much, so the guy grabs the bird by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT !". But this just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy gets mad and says, "OK for you", and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet. This really aggravates the bird, and he claws and scratches, and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a stream of vulgarities that would make a veteran sailor blush. At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the first few seconds, there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws and thrashes. Then it suddenly gets very very qui

[Firefox] about:robots - Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!

Image
We have posted a plugin for Firefox , now we also have a trick with it. It's maybe an old thing, but somehow I remember it today. Try to type "about:robots" in the address bar, and you will find this: You also can see "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" on the title bar. "Klaatu barada nikto" is a phrase originating from the science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). "Klaatu" is the name of the humanoid alien protagonist in the film. Klaatu (Michael Rennie) commanded Helen Benson (Patricia Neal) that, were anything to happen to him, she must utter the phrase to the robot Gort. In response, Gort relented from destroying the Earth and resurrected Klaatu from death. “     There's no limit to what he can do. He could destroy the earth... If anything should happen to me you must go to Gort, you must say these words, "Klaatu barada nikto", please repeat that.     ” —Klaatu NOTE: JUST NOTICED THAT PEOPLE W

[Tips] Extra virtual RAM on your USB Drive

We have posted a tips on how to speed up your computer . One of the tips is add more RAM. Now we will show you another tips related with RAM, it's "virtual memory". In computing, virtual memory is a memory management technique developed for multitasking kernels; this technique virtualizes a computer architecture's various hardware memory devices (such as RAM modules and disk storage drives), allowing a program to be designed as though: there is only one hardware memory device and this "virtual" device acts like a RAM module. the program has sole access to this virtual RAM module as the basis for a contiguous working memory (an address space). For the best results, Instructables user MoritzB suggests using a USB drive smaller than 4 GB for this little trick. Here are the steps to make your USB Drive works as virtual RAM: Rename your thumb drive as "RAM DRIVE" or something similar, so you can see which drive is being used as RAM.

We have posted about Foobar2000 , a free music player. Now we have another free music player, Songbird. Songbird is a free and open source software audio player and web browser founded by Rob Lord and developed by Pioneers of the Inevitable (with members who previously developed for both Winamp and the Yahoo!

[Security] [Utility] Sagan - a real time log monitoring system.

Image
Another security utility for you. Softwink announces the release of Sagan, a real time log monitoring system. Sagan is a multi-threaded, real time system and event log monitoring system, but with a twist. Sagan uses a "Snort" like rule set for detecting bad things happening on your network and/or computer systems. If Sagan detects a "bad thing" happening, that event can be stored to a Snort database (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and Sagan will attempt to correlate the event with your Snort Intrusion Detection/Intrusion Prevention (IDS/IPS) system. Sagan is fast - Sagan is written in C and is a multi-threaded application. Sagan is threaded to prevent blocking Input/Output (I/O). For example, data processing doesn't stop when an SQL query is needed. Sagan uses a "Snort" like rule set - If you're a user of "Snort" and understand Snort rule sets, then you already understand Sagan rule sets. Essentially, Sagan is compatible with Snort rule management
