Google Chrome 3 Brings More Speed and Features to the Stable Release

0 comments

Windows only: Chrome turned one year old just a couple weeks back, and as a belated celebration, the folks at Google have just pushed out a brand new stable release in the form of Google Chrome 3.

Those of you who haven't been eager to play on the bleeding edge of Chrome releases have a lot of nice improvements in store for them in Chrome 3, including:

  • Speed Improvements: Chrome 3 is faster than any previous stable release on both the V8 and SunSpider benchmarks. (Google's calling it a 150% increase in Javascript performance since their first beta.) In the current Chrome 4 dev release, Chrome continues to outshine other browsers on most speed benchmarks.
  • The New Tab Page: Again, this is only new to those of you who've been sticking to stable releases, but the new tab page is more customizable, allowing you to rearrange thumbnails via drag and drop and pin thumbnails you want to keep around permanently.
  • Better Omnibox: Firefox has its awesome bar, Chrome has its omnibox. As of the stable Chrome 3 release, the omnibox adds contextual icons to help you see whether autocomplete results are suggest sites, searches, bookmarks, or sites from your history.
  • HTML5: Google has been pushing the envelope with what developers can do with HTML5, the new standard set of tools in the next evolution of HTML (the backbone of web pages). In Chrome 3 stable, HTML5 is standard—meaning support for video, audio, and canvas tags that bring a rich web experience to your browser without the need for third-party plug-ins like Flash.
  • Themes: We've highlighted a handful of the great new Google Chrome themes already, but now they're available to the stable channel users, as well.
Of course, none of this is all that exciting if you've been using the beta or dev channels for your Chrome updates, but if your workplace, for example, won't let you use anything but stable releases of software, the stable Chrome update is very welcome. Chrome 3 stable is a free download, Windows only.

(Note: Google continues its rather speedy version number jumping here—having dropped three "major" releases in just over a year. It may seem a little silly that it's now on the same version number as Firefox and looks like it'll easily beat Firefox to 4.0, but keep in mind that version numbers are largely arbitrary, so while Google may well hit Chrome 10 in another year or two, it has little bearing on how it compares to other browsers.)

iTunes 9

0 comments


Hot on the heels Last week apple has announcement itunes 9, and it looks awesome I've tested it on my PC windows it has some cool new features.

User Interface

Apple's design decisions often make their first (or only) appearances in iTunes - and there's certainly some interesting choices in iTunes 9. The main window has a new gradient - slightly lighter than before - that also makes the window look a little unusual when inactive. There's also some new Play / Skip / Rewind buttons that protrude from the UI chrome a little more than before - as well as a heavily emphasised Search box.

Paint.NET 3.36

0 comments
 
 Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing.
The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality. Paint.NET can be used to enhance and clean up your photographs. Using the Clone Stamp tool, the power lines that criss-crossed in front of the Space Needle were carefully removed.

Other operations were performed that had the effect of smoothing out the image without blurring it, adding some "bloom" (glow), and increasing the contrast.


FEATURES:
Simple, intuitive user interface
Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software that comes with Windows.

Layers
Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.

Powerful Tools
Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The Gradient tool, new for 3.0, has been cited as a huge improvement over similar tools provided by other software. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.

Unlimited History
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.

Special Effects
Many special effects are included for perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.
Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

 

Smarter Free ways to Manage and Unplug USB devices

0 comments
It is commonly understood that you should never turn off or unplug any device all of a sudden. The primary reason for this is that the particular piece of hardware might be in use by a software or the Operating system itself and might cause unwanted hardware failures.
Keeping this in mind we decided to come up with a hands on guide for USB devices and software recommendations.
Few facts you should know about your  USB device :
  • Whenever you plug in any USB device, Windows do recognizes it and pops up an icon which shows all the USB devices connected.  Anytime you want to disconnect you can use this place to eject or unplug your usb connected device first and then physically unplug it.
  • Its always a good practice to first copy the data which you would like to use from USB device to your hard drive. This way not only your work will get done faster but also you will be less bombarding your device.
  • Most of the USB thumb drives come with an activity light. Make sure the light is not blinking and is turned off. This is an indication that there is no disk activity going on.
  • And lastly dont get on a War with the USB connector when its time to unplug. Do it slowly else not only you will damage your connector you might damage the port on the computer.
My Recommended and tested softwares for managing USB Devices better :

USB Disk Ejector : An excellent freeware with Command line support, mobile mode and easy interface to remove USB devices safely.

USB Disk Ejector 



USB Device view This application is little bit complex but very useful. It gives you a detailed view of all USB devices connected and allows you to even generate a report of it.





Chk Flash : A disk checking software for flash drives which helps you to rectify Read / Write / Logical and Physical Errors. This increase your flash drive life and your data integral.




Flash Drive reminder : If you forget to take off your USB device when you get off the sit, this application  wont let you forget . Excellent software if you are loosing money because you loose your USB more often.






Prevent write access to USB drives with USB write protector : Worried that your USB can be infected by a virus when you plug in to a computer which you are not sure of ? USB Write protector cna lock down your USB and doesnt allow anybody or any software to copy a file into.

USB write protection utility

 These are the ways I recommend to manage your USB devices. How about you ? Which software you had been using ? What practices you follow ? Share with Me in comments.

WizMouse: scroll a window without making it active

0 comments
Window Only: Here is an interesting utility for us insane multitaskers out there. WizMouse is a software which allows you to scroll a window without making it active. You simply have to place your mouse over the inactive window you want to scroll and use your scroll wheel to scroll. Simple as that.
So now the million dollar question is "why would I want to do this". Well for people like me that often have multiple windows side by side this makes it a lot easier to scroll them all than having to click on each window before we scroll it. Or if you use special effects to make windows transparent, you may be able to use this to scroll through and view windows while having them all maximized (in theory... never tried this latter suggestion).
Whatever you may use this for, WizMouse is just one of those niceities that make your user experience that much more smooth. Unfortunately, however, I should point out WizMouse only enables you to scroll the inactive window with your mouse wheel... trying to use arrow keys or page up/down will still scroll the active window. The good thing, though, is if your mouse supports horizontal scrolling in addition to vertical, WizMouse will allow you to do both.
You may download WizMouse from the following link:
***WizMouse works on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

The Best Way to arrange, resize your Windows

0 comments
Windows 7 already provides several handy keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing application windows and of course that what I'm enjoying using it right now. If you're running an older version or want a more exhaustive set of commands at your fingertips, take a look at WinLayout.

The free, open source application is built on top of AutoHotkey and adds some serious arrangement kung fu your under-loved numeric keypad.

For its basic moves, WinLayout slices your screen up into a 3x3 grid (think tic-tac-toe board). Hold the Windows key and tap the corresponding key to send an app to that spot on the grid - 7 = top left, 5=center, 3=bottom right, etc.

Windows can also be resized and moved in single-pixel increments. Word of warning: not surprisingly, some commands do interfere with those built in to Windows 7.

Download Free Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8.1 for XP and Vista

0 comments

Circle Dock is nothing more than a circular dock for the Windows operating system, as the label implies. Designed to integrate seamlessly with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows XP, Circle Dock version 0.9.2 has now reached the Alpha 8 development milestone and is available as a
free download. This because the dock is an open source project delivered under the GNU General Public License V3. Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8.1 provides a simple way for Windows users to centralize all applications, files, and folders into a single location placed on the desktop and access all docked items with a click of the mouse.
“If you’re into something really cool to show off with your friends and family, check out this superb desktop organizer. No more lists, quick launch menus and colums of shortcuts, you can manage it all in this superb and small client. If you take a few minutes to pimp it in the settings,” revealed Miel Van Opstal, Microsoft Technology Evangelist. “The coolest part is that it has the ability to run from a USB key on computers with the .Net Framework 2.0 or above installed.”
Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8.1 brings a few enhancements compared to its precursors. The latest Alpha build will permit end users to actually launch the Windows Start Menu. At the same time, docked items can be grouped and launched together rather than individually.

“Instead of a simple bar that attaches to a side of your computer screen, Circle Dock will launch (via a hotkey) wherever your mouse sits on the screen. The apps it contains can display either as concentric circles or as a spiral. There’s a lot you can do with Circle Dock too - you can rotate it, skin it, and add apps, files, folders, and shortcuts to the dock by drag and drop,” revealed Microsoft's Sarah Perez via Channel 10.

Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 8.1 is available for download here.


How to improve the Start Menu in Windows Vista and XP

vistastartmenu

If you work with Windows Vista or XP on a daily basis you know only too well how these operating systems, despite they are efficient and easy to use, are far from being perfect and perfectly tailored for your needs. As a matter of fact, if you are accustomed to work using a lot of applications and files there is no place in Windows where you can have a wide view of what you need at first glance. The closest thing which looks like it is the Start Menu which, despite it offers a list of programs and utilities, is pretty approximate and rough and, in some case, confuse you more than anything else.

Start Menu is a nice freeware utility whose goal is to enhance and improve your Start Menu in Windows Vista and XP. Let’s see what its most important features are:

  • Everything (programs and utilities) has got an assigned place and it will stay there as long as YOU want. In this way you will remember the position of what you need easily.
  • Icons are too small and you get confused becasse there are too many of them? Use Zoom in and Zoom out features and see everything better!
  • Re sizable Windows Vista Menu. In this way, if you have a lot of programs, you won’t have to scroll the menu anymore.
  • Tabs. Add tabs to different items. Find everything you need at first glance.
  • Find and open any application just by using a couple of keystrokes. Use your keyboard in place of the mouse to reach everything on your computer. From now on even the most remote utility will be as far as a couple of keystrokes.
  • Look for whatever in Internet by using the Start Menu.
  • Look for whatever file you need in a better way right from the command line of the Start Menu.

Vista Folder Background

Download Vista Folder Background
In Vista, the ability to have custom backgrounds in explorer folders is gone. This small application makes folder backgrounds possible again.
With the latest update, a background can be automatically applied to subfolders.
Fixed a bug where subfolders of a background'd folder would hang if the background was not applied to subfolders.
Installation: Unzip, run install.bat to install.
Uninstall: run uninstall.bat to uninstall, restart (or log off and on again) and remove the files.

Right click a folder an check the Folder Background tab for settings.
