Few days back I installed a extension for chrome... It is really cool. It is "webpage Screen Shot".
The special feature of this extension is it can create the image of the whole currently opened webpage.
This feature is not available in most of other similar extensions.
The link to that extension is given below. Chrome users can use it. Currently the compatibility with other browsers are not known. Some one when uses Post comments.....

Preventing VoIP Spam
As VoIP networks proliferate, the threat of voice-based spam clogging them becomes more and more real.
Looking at the nuisance created by e-mail spam,will history repeat itself here also?
Spam on VoIP is called SPIT (SPam
over Internet Telephony).Everyone
gets spam,especially if he/she has an
e-mail address.While we’re still fighting email
spam, it’s threatening us on VoIP too.
Spam is quite possible over voice circuits,
especially the VoIP ones, and it can be just
as menacing as that over e-mail. And the
reason for this is because it uses the same
TCP/IP for transport.
In fact, the annual cost to companies
around the world for just fighting spam
was as high as Rs 45 Bn in 2003 and this is
expected to rise to Rs 765 Bn this year.
Besides huge financial loss, companies
also have to put up with loss of productivity
and increased costs of support on their
IT desks. Since the IT desk would need to
intervene in tracking and blocking such
spam on your coporate networks.This cost
will only go up once spam becomes prevalent
over VoIP if not controlled in time.
Let’s look at this threat a little more closely.
How would it work?
Micro Fuel Cells vs
Rechargeable Batteries
Rechargeable Batteries
Digital devices are growing by leaps
and bounds.So much so that computing
is moving from desk to the
pocket.As long as it remained on the desk,
the issue of powering it wasn’t an issue, as it
used standard utility power.But with its
move to the pocket,power has become a
major concern.How many times has it
happened that you’re attending an important
phone call on your cellphone, and its
battery conks off? Or you’re not able to use
your digital camera on your camping trip
because the battery drained out? You’re finishing
your presentation while waiting for
your flight when the notebook’s battery
died.We’ve all faced one such situation at
one time or the other.Currently, lithium ion
or lithium polymer-based batteries are being
used to power these mobile devices,
and are proving to be insufficient.That’s
why an alternative power source, called micro
fuel cells or MFCs, is being developed.

Broadband
Revisited
Broadband is not what you think it is. It’s lost its meaning to the aura of speed andRevisited
spectrum issues that surround it. You need to understand the technology, the options
available and limitations to make the right choice
Broadband…isn't this an
'always-on' Internet connection
provided by an
ISP? Contrary to popular
belief, this is not the true definition
of broadband. Simply speaking, the
term broadband refers to the ability
of sending multiple channels over a
single link.In other words,you're using
the same connection to pass
multiple signals.A cable TV network
is a perfect example of broadband.
You get a single co-axial cable terminated
to your TV,but the same cable
delivers lots of TV channels for you
to watch.
So despite true broadband having
been there in our lives for so long
in the form of cable TV,we never realized
its true meaning. Instead, the
image that's been created,of broadband,
is completely different—a
24x7 Internet connection.
HOW TO CHOOSE A MOTHERBOARD
Whenever you plan to upgrade your system or purchase a new one, you often get confused
with the technical jargon associated with a motherboard? Like the features it should support
and the optimum price to pay for your requirements. In this story we provide information on
the must-have features on a motherboard.We also tested 24 motherboards from Rs 2-8 k for
price, performance and features to help you come up with the right choice
Within a family, a mother provides support to
her children and facilitates their growth
and performance in the world outside. She
is the one responsible for her child’s performance:
good or bad. Ditto is the case with a PC motherboard,
ie mother of all boards. If your system is able to offer
all the features and performs well (it’s stable and scalable),
you would invariably end up praising the motherboard
and if it has limited features, and is poor on
performance, the poor board would be the first to receive
flak. Though you can never replace your
mother in real life, thankfully, this is not the case with
PCs. So, in case you are planning to upgrade or buy a
new motherboard, take out a few minutes from your
hectic routine and read through the following. You’ll
find what’s hot and what’s not in the market. Here we
go!

Yahoo and Nokia Combining Together !!! "Project Nike"
According to the sources there is a chance for Yahoo and Nokia to combine together in the forth coming mobile products.
The invitation from Yahoo this week for the press conference raised this doubt. It says "Please join Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz for an exciting announcement about providing global consumers with rich online and mobile experiences, and bringing forward a new era in keeping consumers connected."
The gossip is that Nokia is going to make a Yahoo-centric phone. The code name for this partnership deal is "Project Nike". Yahoo has had a range of mobile initiatives and has had many, mostly failed, partnerships with carriers and telecom makers.
Recently Nokia released mobiles that people dislike and Yahoo provided mobile service that they disliked said CNET News .

Automatic Printer Switcher
Found this on another site..
May be useful ....
Automatic Printer Switcher is a helpful tool for users who work in computing environments with multiple printers that are used regularly for different print jobs. The free program can be used to link documenttypes or programs with printers so that it becomes possible to configure default printers for each which are then automatically selected in the print jobs
The default printer configuration is a two step process. The program lists all connected printers and their assigned application in its interface. A click on the Add program button will list all open application windows.
It is now possible to select applications and assign a default printer to them. Program windows need to be open to assign the printer mapping.
Automatic Printer Switcher needs to be running in the background to redirect the print jobs to the configured printers.
The user needs to execute the printing functionality of the application normally, the selection of the default printer will be handled by Printer Switcher.
Automatic Printer Switcher requires the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5. It is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit editions of multiple Windows operating systems including Windows 7.
The program can be downloaded from the developer’s website. The program currently has no homepage with additional information.
Hover board
The geeky achievement is made possible thanks to electromagnets and lasers. Guadagnin detailed that his project, which started back in 2008, works due to the board's integrated magic: It includes an impressive laser system which ensures the stabilization of the hoverboard in addition to an electromagnetic system which makes the levitation possible.
The video below shows his board hovering. Be sure to watch out for when Nils gives the board a push, the stabilization process is speedy and impressive:
Hopefully Nils' creation will inspire others and in the not to distant future we will all be hovering along like Marty McFly. How long it will be is anyone's guess, but people like Nils are keeping the geeky dream alive.

Facebook Can't Be Trusted
The privacy statements announced by the CEO Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook created a question of actual privacy of Facebook users.
The press release on December by the Facebook group created a serious issue. Those December changes led the Electronic Privacy Information Center, together with the Center for Digital Democracy, the American Library Association, the Consumer Federation of America and other privacy organizations, to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The user data can be accessed without the permission of the user using some specific application's. Even if the user is not using the application, their friends who uses the application can grab user data of any individual.
The construction of Facebook is now questioned for honor and privacy. The users can control over their posts but they cannot control what Facebook is providing to the third party applications. If Facebook continues this the reputation will be at risk.
Facebook users should be aware of what is going on right now.

Not Just a monitor!!
Ultra-slim and ultra-elegant, the ToC design is inspired by the artistic integrity of hand blown glass. The translucent charcoal grey gradation of the bezel and cobalt blue hues of the clear crystal neck subtly shift in colour depending upon external light conditions, creating an exquisite interplay between the monitor and the environment that it is placed in.

Computer Virus Affected man
Dr. Mark Gasson, a cybernetics expert at the University of Reading in England infected himself with a computer virus ( embedded a RFID chip in his wrist ).This was part of an experiment designed to show how implantable bionic devices are susceptible to computer viruses.
He is able to access the security systems in his university. A virus is installed into the chip. After that when he enters the lab, and when the computers read his code the virus replicated into the system and affected the computer.
This wont affect Gasson's health but if people having pace makers, hearing aid, deep brain stimulators
can be easily affected by the system. This will create a serious issue in the future.
