It's 2010 and IM is Dead

It looks like in 2010 Instant Messenger came to an end. This was due to heavy competition, with different software compatibility.
Now our new generation prefers not to use Instant Messenger but instead use something more cross platform like Twitter or Skype to reach out to friends. Instant Messenger should have learned a lesson a long time ago, "software compatibility."

Firesheep exposes Social Sites

Be warned that if your currently using social sites to post private pictures and posts, Firesheep can be used to access the account. Currently there has been over 100k download since the new software has been out and social groups such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and Yelp are being compromised. 
At this point it's useless to suggest user's what to do since sites have already been compromised. But in the future user's should know better.

iPhone 4 Bug

Let's just say Apple should be ashamed on creating an application that anyone can bypass. What's the point on locking your phone, if anyone can easily bypass it. Just shows you how sloppy they are now getting. It's only a matter of time before they are matched up equally with Microsoft's sloppiness.

Convert WMC Recordings

If your currently using Windows 7 you should notice that the Windows Media Center (WMC) is better integrated with cable, broadcast and internet TV. Windows 7 now no longer uses DVR-MS format. So if your going to play these files on older version of WMC or Windows Media Player, your out of luck. The only way you can watch them on older versions is to convert them back to .dvr-ms.
With Windows 7 you can easily do this by just right clicking and converting back to .dvr-ms.

External HD problems

Have an external hard drive but notice that on Windows 7 the drive file system sometimes fails. The reason for this that Windows 7 likes only the NTFS format. All other old file formats like FAT32 tend to be ignored. The only solution to correct this problem is to format your drive to NTFS so that Windows 7 will always recognize it.

There are several ways to do this and one way to do it is by using the convert.exe command in DOS. After you type convert.exe convert x: /fs:ntfs, (in which x is the drive for your external hard drive).
Make sure that your external drive is empty first before your convert it to NTFS otherwise all your data will be erased.

ex:
c:\users\ED>convert f: /fs:ntfs

Google Shuts Down 411

It's bad news for Google 411 users. Google plans on shutting down the service but will still keep their text messaging feature still active. I am quite disappointed on their recent move because I believe 411 should be free for everyone to use. I just hope that another company will come to the rescue.

In the meantime feel free to use the service until
November 12, 2010


For 411 via text - just send a text to 466453 (GOOGLE)
