INFOTECHNO

Steven Levy's classic book about the original hackers of the computer revolution is now available in a special 25th anniversary edition, with updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, Richard Stallman, and Tim O'Reilly. Hackers traces the exploits of innovators from the research labs in the late 1950s to the rise of the home computer in the mid-1980s. It's a fascinating story of brilliant and eccentric nerds such as Steve Wozniak, Ken Williams, and John Draper who took risks, bent the rules, and took the world in a radical new direction.

 "Hacker" is often a derogatory term today, but 40 years ago, it referred to people who found clever and unorthodox solutions to computer engineering problems -- a practice that became known as "the hacker ethic." In this book, Levy takes you from the true hackers of MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club to the DIY culture that spawned the first personal computers -- the Altair and the Apple II -- and finally to the gaming culture of the early '80s.
From students finagling access to clunky computer-card machines to engineers uncovering the secrets of what would become the Internet, Hackers captures a seminal period in history when underground activities blazed a trail for today's digital world. This book is not just for geeks -- it's for everyone interested in origins of the computer revolution.

 I started learning about useful features and really appreciated the efforts Steve Jobs has done for humanity. I am sharing most useful features as per fulfillment of my requirements.


iMessage

I believe you are aware of BBM BlackBerry Messenger a free SMS service among the BB users, new iOS 5 also features iMessage facility that can be used among the iPhone users free and shall definitely reduce the sms costs of its users. Although this service will use the data from your phone provider but the cost will be much lesser than the standard SMS charges especially internationally. I have not yet started using this app.


I find this feature very appealing and giving more peace of mind. If you have a missed call or a message on Facebook or Twitter you are able to see on your lock screen all messages listed. Just swipe your finger across the notification and corresponding application will be opened directly. Like if you received a message on Facebook swipe right and you can type the reply in Facebook interface.
If you swipe to unlock, the notification(s) will disappear, your notifications are now kept in new notification center, swipe to the down from top and you will see all your notifications at one place. Now you can go to specific application by tapping a notification.


My notification center was crowded due to too many messages from Twitter and Facebook so I customized the notification center. Go to Settings > Notifications and customize or turn it off if you want.





Easy Launching of Camera Application
Many time I wanted to take a snap and while opening the camera the scene was changed, thanks to iOS developer they understand our problems and now you can open the camera by double clicking the only available button in iPhone4/S. You will get 2 options, one for playing your recent track and second for opening the camera… Isn’t it coooooooooool. Also Apple has allowed you to take pictures using volume up button.


Picture Editing
Now you can edit your newly taken pictures by just clicking Edit button on right upper corner and you are given four options for photo editing. After editing you can save your pictures.
1. Crop
2. Auto Enhance
3. Rotate
4. Red Eye Removal


Tasks / Reminders Application
This application integrates all your pending tasks and beauty of the new feature is that you can set location based reminders so that if you reach somewhere you know what I have to do.

The best feature which I like is this one now you don’t need to connect your iPhone or iPad to your PC using cable only connect your iOS devices to a power source turn on the WiFi Syn application and get connected, it is required that both your machines should be on the same network.

Twitter Integration

Now you can send tweets using the common iOS applications like Facebook, YouTube, Safari, maps and Camera. All you need to do is setup your Twitter integration settings go to Settings > Twitter and select the applications you want to integrate although it will automatically integrate with available application on your iDevice. Also in contacts you can give Twitter profile of a contact and while Tweeting auto complete will work based upon saved profiles.
There are many many features that we need to explore the things which I got in last two days I have shared with you and very soon will contribute more. If you have come to know more cool features please write to us or give your feedback in our c
comments area.

 Use Keyboard Shortcuts


Using the mouse, you can drag n-dock windows to either side of the screen, or drag it to the top to maximize it. These keyboard shortcuts are even faster:

• Win+Left Arrow and Win+Right Arrow dock the window to the left and right side of the screen
• Win+Up Arrow and Win+Down Arrow maximize and restore/minimize
• Win+M minimizes everything
• Alt+Up, Alt+Left Arrow, Alt+Right Arrow navigate to parent folder, or browse Back and Forward through folders in Explorer
• Win+Home minimizes/restores all open windows except the active window
• Alt+Win+# accesses the Jump List of program number ‘#’ on the taskbar

2.Rearrange System Tray Icons

You can rearrange icons on the taskbar as you wish and start new (or switch to running) instances of the first ten taskbar programs using Win+1, Win+2, and so on. The cool thing is you can also rearrange system tray icons. Reorder them on the tray or move them outside or back in the tray. Take control of what you want to always keep an eye on, and from which apps you’ll require notifications.
















3. Access Jump Lists with the Left Mouse Button
Jump Lists usually show up when you right-click on a taskbar icon. However, they can also be accessed by holding the left mouse button and dragging upwards. If you’re using a laptop touchpad or a touch screen, this is convenient because you do not have to click any button to access a context menu.

Softwares is the core part of our computer systems. Most of the useful softwares require serial key for their smooth functioning and it is always a tough job to find software serial key for free. Cracks are available on web which help in bypassing this license key prompt. But, many a times, such cracks are infected with viruses. So, it is always a better idea to find serial keys. So, I have provided a list of 5 best sites which you can use to find any software’s serial key.

Like other kids in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Ejovi Nuwere grew up among thugs and drug dealers. When he was eleven, he helped form a gang; at twelve, he attempted suicide. In his large, extended family, one uncle was a career criminal, one a graduate student with his own computer. By the time Ejovi was fourteen, he was spending as much time on the computer as his uncle was. Within a year he was well on his way to a hacking career that would lead him to one of the most audacious and potentially dangerous computer break-ins of all time, secret until now.
