I know how frustrating it is when you download a large file from the net to find out that it is locked with
a password, which you dont have. Cracking the password with softwares like Advanced password recovery
is out of the question bcoz it takes nearly 3 days to guess a 8 character long password. And noone can spend that
kinda time.

I am gonna post a method to find out passwords for archive files which you downloaded from file sharers like -
Rapidshare, Megaupload .........

It is pretty easy, fast and doesnt require you to use any software other than a Browser.

What you need -
1. A browser (preferably Mozilla FireFox)
2. The file for which you are searching the password must be popular.

How to do it -

Lets assume that one wants to find password for this file -

U'll wonder how much space the system restore files have occupied in ur system... when u've observed the windows drive (Usually C:/) the size reduces day by day (if not observed, try to make it from now)... the unnecesary files will be in the temp folder (type "%temp%" in run) and this doesn't consume u much unless u install big softwares like photoshop or the like... but in the system restore, files r added regularly and when u delete some files from ur system, it'll not be deleted completely but stored in this system restore (SystemVolumeInformation) for using them in case u restore the system back.. but this is of no use, but storing the files and occupying unnecessary space...
But windows have the default service of deleting this unnecessary files of very past...

It is very Simple...just follow the steps:

• right click the C:/ Drive --> Properties --> Disk CleanUp
• in the Disk CleanUp Window, click the "More Options" Tab
• Come down to the bottom where u see the "System Restore" and Press "CleanUp..."
• Clik ok and now see that ur system would have recovered some space...

• the thing in here is it'll not delete all the restore points but the old restore points..
• u can see the files in the restore point by goin to the SystemVolumeInformation (SVI) in C:/ (for other drives it'll not open)
• another important thing is that the virus files that were in ur system in the past will be present in this SVI folder
• when u delete some files(Shift+delete) like exe or some other files, the sys takes a copy of that file in SVI to restore it back when needed... so think of it, how much space it could've comsumed unknowing to u... u can go to the SVI folder in C:/ Drive
• this happens to all the Drives but could not be seen from the corresponding SVI folder, but can be removed from the above method..
• ucan also delete files from Temp folder.. when it show u some error msgdon worry, leave that particular file and delete the remaining
• do it regularly so that u can bet, ur sys have some place for ur files...
  

• u can go directly to the disk cleanup window by typing "cleanmgr /d c" ,w/o quotes, in Run...
• u can restore ur sys at any point or create own restore point by goin to system restore point (shortcut is Type "restore/rstrui" in Run)
• to view the SVI folder (it'll be hidden) go to folder options from tools menu in the explorer --> View --> click "Show hidden files and folders" then deselect "Hide protected operating sys Files(Recommended)" --> ok.. Now u can see the SVI folder in any drive but can access only that of C:/

Android 2.0 and above owners have the privilege of using Google Maps Navigation for some time in the US – providing a free alternative to other popular voice guided GPS services. Unfortunately for our friends across the big pond, Europe has been in the dark when it comes to the application. You'd think it'd be so simple to just launch the service, but it's actually a bit more complicated than one can imagine. In Europe, Google needs to work with local partners such as Navteq (Nokia) or Tele Atlas (TomTom) to provide maps of Europe. They could potentially be holding the required maps cache that Google needs to properly implement navigation. Still there is a rumor about how Google is working with a company in the Netherlands to quickly get this feature out to Europe. Their pleas aren't falling on deaf ear, thankfully, as the recent withdrawal of Navteq from the Android Market might indicate its eventual arrival on the continent.

Before you install any new program, you should create a “restore point.” Doing so will enable you to undo any problems or damage caused by the software installation. Here’s how:

1. Click the Start button in the lower-left corner of Windows.

2. Click All Programs.

3. Select Accessories.

4. Select System Tools.

5. Click System Restore.

6. The System Restore window will open. Click the Create a Restore
Point button .

7. Click Next.

8. Under the Restore Point Description heading, type some words or
sentences that will help you to remember why you are creating this
restore point. For example, if you just bought a new antivirus
program, you could label this restore point “Before Installation of
New Antivirus Software.”

9. Click the Create button.

Occasionally, a program may throw the digital equivalent of a temper tantrum and refuse to close.When that happens, you can force it to shut down by using the Task Manager, as follows:

1. Simultaneously press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys on your keyboard, which opens the Windows Task Manager. (However, if your version of Windows is configured differently, then pressing these keys might open a Windows Security box. In that case, simply click the Task Manager button.)

2. Click the Applications tab.

3. Click the name of the unresponsive program.

4. At the bottom of the Task Manager, click the End Task button.

5. If the troubled program doesn’t close immediately, a message alerts you that the program is not responding. Click the End Now button.

6. If the program still does not respond, or if Windows feels sluggish, then shut down your computer and restart it.

After last week’s iPad announcement by Apple, Google has been playing around with a similar web-tablet concept for Chrome OS. It went up on Google’s development site Chromium last Monday, two days before Apple unveiled iPad. Google’s User interface designer for Chrome OS, Glen Murphy, blogged about the tablet concept on his personal blog yesterday.

“Although Chromium is not an official Google website, the concept video has been put together by Glen Murphy, one of Google’s Chrome OS designers. Google is also reportedly in discussions with Taiwanese consumer electronics giant HTC about making a touch-screen tablet computer. HTC already makes many of the mobile phones that run Google’s Android operating system, and designed and built Google’s own-brand handset, the Nexus One.”

ndia, Feb. 5 -- Lionsgate, a $1.47-billion California-headquartered film production group, has signed a three-feature film deal with Crest Animation Studios (India) for stereoscopic 3D animation films. Lionsgate, which has Disney's Pixar, Dreamworks, Bluesky-Fox and Universal Studios as competition, will release its first film, Alpha and Omega, a love story about two mismatched wolves, on October 1. Ken Katsumoto, executive vice president of Lionsgate Family Entertainment, spoke exclusively with Hindustan Times about why his company is so excited about Crest and the tie up with it. On Lionsgate's venture into 3D animation, and the pact with Crest We found that Crest was the most prepared to go into the production of the animation films in stereoscopic 3D. Its management and vision, dedication to quality and willingness to take an equal stake - Crest brought in (US hedge fund) DE Shaw - in the film impressed us. This is the first time Lionsgate has entered into a partnership at this level. On Lionsgate's vision Lionsgate sees itself as a strong, diversified, entrepreneurial and daring company. We are focused on the present and future, which is about 3D and digital. In that sense, Alpha and Omega is perfectly timed. We are so pleased with the way the film has turned out we're going ahead with the second film's production with Crest even before its release. On the cost factor There is, of course, a cost advantage. Other major international animation film production studios spend a lot more on such films. Crest is capable of delivering studio-level quality and we are not going to spend as much. Lionsgate is about prudence meeting high quality. On the pending films with CrestIt's too early to talk about the third film. I'll say this: while Alpha and Omega is based on the Pixar model of classic storytelling that we hope will make people laugh and cry, Norm of the North will be based more on the Dreamworks model, showing a range of depth and capability that we hope will generate wall-to-wall, popcorn-spilling laughter across the world.

People are more likely to believe and use information on a website from an identified source than that coming from a layperson, blog or a homepage, suggests a study.Principal investigator Yifeng Hu, assistant professor of communications, College of New Jersey, Ewing, N.J., and colleague S. Shyam Sundar, distinguished professor of communications, Penn State, examined the relative importance of different online sources and how people evaluate and act on online health information.
Sundar said: "Most people look for health information online by keying disease symptoms into various search engines. But the results of that search could range from experts at the Mayo Clinic to somebody's personal blog."
Sundar added: "We wanted to find out if users differentiate between various sources of online information and how that choice impacts their decisions. The health topics were controversial enough to raise questions of credibility among readers."
Researchers found that screenshots of both health topics were seen as significantly more reliable when attributed to a doctor and featured on a website rather than on a blog, individual homepage or a bulletin board.
Sundar said: "It tells us that young people are actually differentiating between different online sources when evaluating health information on the Internet."
The study was published in the Communication Research
