17 New Confirmed Features with Windows 8

As the release date of Windows 8 (beta) gets closer, many new features of it end up being leaked and people couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Microsoft couldn't stop the leakage of Windows 8 screenshots and features, but I guess they're now releasing information more willingly.

Here is a list of Windows 8 features, and these are confirmed ones, not rumors.

What's new in Windows 8?

• Windows 8 (beta) aka Windows Next(beta) is confirmed to release in September (that's just a few weeks away), although the stable version will be available in 2012.
• Windows 8 will support Tablets too, just like Android and iOS. So, the mobile OS wars won't be boring anymore.

• Windows 8 will feature a customizable start screen showing tiles of most of used apps (as in the picture above), so you don't need to keep those shortcuts on your desktop.
• Windows 8 will support web technologies like HTML5 and Javascript. These apps will run just like the normal ones. If you haven't experienced HTML5 yet, check out Beat The Boot, it's a game from Google, powered by HTML5.
• Windows Explorer will get a ribbon UI just like Paint, MS Office and other Microsoft products. It will also get a 'up' button beside the forward button.

• Windows 8 will come preloaded with Internet Explorer 10, even though most of them might not be interested in it.
• You can integrate Windows 8 with your Live ID, this means all Microsoft products like Hotmail, Live Mesh etc will be easier to manage. Although, this is optional.
• The 'Time Machine' feature which is present in the Mac OS is available as History Vault in Windows 8. With History Vault you can backup important files to another drive.

• Another feature 'System Reset' will let you to restore system settings to default ones (factory settings). This is useful especially when you find your system unstable and unable to find which software is the culprit.
• If you've a Pen drive of at least 16GB size, you can run Windows 8 from it! This feature named 'Portable Workspace' let's you run Windows 8 from a USB (which contains the setup files).

• Compared to Win 7, Windows 8 will take less time to boot with 'Hybrid Boot'. With Hybrid Boot, Windows 8 keeps certain files pre-loaded, thus, it takes less time to boot.
• Another improvement in the interface section is 'Aero Auto-colorization', with this you can predefine the color of the elements like Taskbar, Start menu, Windows Explorer etc.

• You don't need to use file copiers like Teracopy etc on Windows 8 as the File copying process is optimized
  
• Windows 8 will support USB 3.0 which promises super fast file copying, as fast as 1 GB/ 5 seconds!

• Windows Appstore is now confirmed, this also means that installing and uninstalling apps will be as easy as pie!
• Built in PDF viewer, no more sluggish Adobe Reader. This is another feature Microsoft took from Mac OS.
• Native ISO and VHD files support, you will no more need 3rd party tools to create and manage ISO files.

 

Those are the confirmed Windows 8 features with leaked screenshots.

Will Windows 8 be another Vista? Do tell us what do you think.

10 Ways to to Protect Yourself from Cell Phone Radiation

[SOURCE]With the World Health Organization confirming the fears established earlier, that there is “a possible connection between cell phones and two type of brain tumors: gliomas and acoustic neuromas,” or in simple words: cancer, there is an increasing sense of panic among mobile users. However there are ways that you can protect yourselves from these effects.

The effects start showing on people who constantly use their mobile phones (on an average) for at least 30 minutes daily. So the main precaution you can take is to reduce your phone usage.

Just keep these tips in mind :

• Reduce phone usage the most you can.
• Use headphones or hands-free kits, as they keep you away from the radiation emitted by the phones. You could also use the speaker mode while calling.
• If available use a land-line phone.
• Text instead of calling.
• Keep your calls short.
• Strive for minimal usage in areas having low signal (1 bar) such as rural areas.
• Don’t allow small children to use mobile phones, unless necessary. Radiation may penetrate deeper due to their skulls still being in a development stage.
• Don’t cover the area, where the internal antenna is located within your phone (mostly in the middle-back part of your phone), with your hand. When you cover it, the phone emits more waves to find a proper signal. Refer to your phone manual to check the exact position of the internal antenna.
• Use phones having low SAR (specific absorption rate.) This is a measure of how much Radio Frequency (RF) energy the body absorbs.
• Use a 3G phone. There are reports that state that they emit lesser radio waves to the brain.

These are some of the tips you could follow, that will surely help you in the long run.

My Encounter With Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam - Must Read

Hello friends today I am going to write about my encounter with our honorable x-precedent Dr. A.P.J Abdul kalam. Yes friends I am not lying. I really met him. You know? He had come here at my city Amravati (Maharashtra) to address the student at national-level techfest named 'Technolon'. Program was to be conducted in Zilha stadium-Amravati what is 15 Km far from my hostel, so today I woke up early in morning at 8 am ( hahaha… It’s early for me) then I got ready within next 1 hour, up to 9 am I put my first step out of my hostel. Though I woke up early in morning, it was too late to go there because I should had to reach there up to 9:30 Am..But let it be I got bus on right time, When I reached near stadium, I was surprised to see crowd of students.. Hey believe me there was Q of students up to almost half Km, previously I was such late to reach there. So I was thinking now what to do.. How to go in stadium.. What if I couldn’t go in stadium? I was too nervous due to this rush of students… But ya, at the same time I was thinking some unconventional ways (Being an IT student...ha ha) to go in stadium and suddenly my friend spoke hey let’s try to convince student in front side of that Q. I agreed but was hesitating to do it. So my friend himself tried to do it... And I don’t know how that guy agreed to let us stand in that Q. After few minutes we were in stadium... Voilla..!! I had won almost half race… I was in, Feeling like a heaven. . 

Now we were waiting for our ideal... as the time was passing our excitement towards him was increasing and crowd in ground was also getting doubled, after each few minutes. And finally a full stop came to our waiting, and he arrived at ground. A man who was more than 83 year old, attracted more than 30,000 (Thirty thousand) students was on ground. We were too much thirsty but his arrival made us to forget it..Some strange feeling was making my blood to flow with double speed.. There was too much noise on ground but I think my ears were tuned to listen only one voice which was of frequency of Dr. Kalam. He started to address students with one sentence “Hello India”

Dr Kalam discussed about vision 2020, and how we can make it true, he encouraged the students to try their luck in politics to make it pure and corruption free. While discussing all these things he suddenly asked a question to student do you want to be unique person or a person like ordinary people? Most of the students replied him “Yes, we want to be unique person”, Dr. Kalam said “yes, it’s the point I want to tell you..if you all want to be unique then why all of you students are studying and behaving like ordinary people. If you want to do something different then you will have to think differently,” Dr. Kalam then turned his discursion to  successful person, or how to become like him

According to Dr. Kalam..To become successful person we must follow following four points

• We must have our AIM up to age of 20 [AT least we should know filed of our carrier]
• We must acquire knowledge of our field as much as we can..
• We must do hard working
• Don’t fear to problems
• Small AIM is big offense

One point which I liked at his speech is “why students thinks that their hands are to just beg for jobs why don’t they think their hands to give jobs to others” really if student will think in this attitude they can be somewhere else..

Finally at last section of his speech he told students to speak as he is speaking… means to utter each of his sentences.. He said

“ I am the good citizen of India, I will never support corruption. “

“I will be the good member of my family”

“I will be the responsible citizen of society”

“I will be the good person of our nation”

“I will be good person of this world” 

After taking this pledge from students many students were thinking to ask few questions to Dr. kalam but before arrival of any question he said “if somebody wants to ask anything to me he/she may contact me at my email ID apj@abdulkalam.com” each question will get answered

So..Finally Dr. kalam’s session got completed and I was still thirsty but this time not for water, indeed this time I was thirsty to listen him once more or for more time. There were more than many people who were thirsty for same.

Students had started to think.. Many questions were in minds of students-“how can we change India” many students were looking too much confident. Thinking doesn’t bring change but it is first step towards change..Isn’t? I really realized Speed of thoughts is really more than speed of light…

Now I think  REALLY HE IGNITED THE MINDS OF STUDENTS…BUT WILL IT BE IGNITED FOREVER?

How to Hack Nokia Phones – Remote DDOS Attack using SMS

SOURCE Yep,One can hack Nokia phones by just sending a SMS,seems devilish isn't it? Although this vulnerability was found more than an year ago, I recently tried it and found it working in many sets. Thevulnerability dubbed as “Curse of Silence” affects all Nokia Symbian 60/Series 60 devices and allows for remote SMS/MMS Denial of Service.One can send a specially crafted sms to lockup/crash any Series 60 device.

What is Required ?

• MSISDN of the target.
• A Mobile phone service provider which allows sending of SMS messages (Airtel in my case)
• (Almost) any Nokia phone (or some other means of sending SMS messages with TP-PID set to "Internet Electronic Mail" )

Risk Levels 
 
Although the vulnerability is spread across many versions of S60 platform,the Risk level is quite high for (for S60 2.6 and 3.0 devices)as upon attack,the target will not be able to receive any SMS or MMS messages until the device is Factory Resetted and Medium for S60 2.8 and 3.1 devices as upon Ddos attack,the target will not be able to receive any SMS or MMS messages while the attack is ongoing. After that, only very limited messagereceiving is possible until the device is Factory Resetted.
 


The Attack
One can send an email using an sms by setting the messages Protocol Identifier to "Internet Electronic Mail" and formatting the message like this:

The simplest attack will be -
123456789@123456789.1234567890123

If such messages contain an with more than 32 characters, S60 2.6, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.1 devices fail to display the message or give any indication on the user interface that such a message has been received. They do,however, signal to the SMS Career that they have received the message.
Devices running S60 2.6 or 3.0 will not be able to receive any other SMS message after that. The user interface does not give any indication of this situation. The only action to remedy this situation seems to be a Factory Reset of the device (by entering "*#7370#" ) or using a Vulcan Death Grip. 
Devices running S60 2.8 or 3.1 react a little different: They do not lock up until they received at least 11 SMS-email messages with an email address that is longer than 32 characters after that the device will not be able to receive any other SMS message and the phone will just display a warning that there is not enough memory to receive further messages and that data should be deleted first. This message is even displayed on an otherwise completely "empty" device. 

After switching the phone off and on again, it has limited capability for receiving SMS messages again: If it receives a SMS message that is split up into several parts it is only able to receive the first part and will display the "not enough memory" warning again. After powercycling the device again, it can then receive the second part. If there is a third part, it has to be powercycled again, and so on.
Also, an attacker now just needs to send one more "Curse Of Silence" message to lock the phone up again. By always sending yet another one as soon as the status report for delivery of the previous message is received, the attacker could completely prevent a target from receiving any other SMS/MMS messages.
Only Factory Resetting the device will restore its full message receiving capabilities. Note that, if a backup is made using Nokia PC-Suite *after* being attacked, the blocking messages are also backuped and will be sent to the device again when restoring the backup after the Factory Reset.

Detailed List of affected phones
Tested on several S60 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1 devices. Since the vulnerable component is a S60 base functionality, it seems safe to assume that all devices with these OS versions are affected. I short if you own one of these,you are rounded unless u have a firmware upgrade/fix release by Nokia which fixes this attack.
