PhotoScape - different image processor for bloggers

When I first drove PhotoScape I was really impressed. I still am. If I do not have access to a license for Photoshop, or if I should use a computer that is not greasy stools with Adobe programs, usually the choice to fall on PhotoScape. It is a different image editing program that is divided into various tools. The interface is neat and it is not difficult to learn.
In many ways PhotoScape the ultimate free program in imaging for bloggers.  It contains, inter alia, namely smart features to automatically scale the frame and put on more pictures. Say you took several digital photos that you want to publish to your blog. Then you need to rescale the images and maybe you want a frame around them.Select multiple images, make settings and let PhotoScape do the work for you.
More features worth mentioning is the excellent part of the collage. Here you will find a wide range of ready-made formats, ie types of collagen. After selecting one, then just drag and drop images on each frame in the collage. Then save your collage as a common Jpeg and upload to the blog. Furthermore, there is a feature for creating GIF animations.
PhotoScape is different from its competitors, but it's different in a good way. It is clearly worth a try!

Smart freeware makes your Vista PC faster

Windows Vista is not classified often as a fast operating system. A large part of the problem lies, just like in XP, in all the unnecessary services running in the background. Several of these can be turned off to save the performance. Doing it yourself can be difficult, and therefore is free with Vista Services Optimizer is a good alternative.

Vista Services Optimizer is a free tool that will help to tune your settings for the so-called services. You can fiddle the settings by going to Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools . Here's a tool called Services . It is recommended only if you are sure what you're doing. For others, the Vista Service Optimizer in handy.

The program has two modes, you can either do all the configuration manually or automatically. For beginners, I recommend the automatic, and then start it by clicking the Automatic tuneup . Now you'll see a page with various options, which you can check how you use your computer. You may choose if you have your PC connected to a network and whether you share files on it.
In addition, you will select the questions that correspond with your system - for example, if you do not use Windows' own security tools because you have a security suite installed (for example, an internet security suite from Symantec, McAfee, F-Secure, Panda, Kaspersky, or anyone else) . When you are finished with these selections, click Apply Changes .

This job takes a few minutes. After doing that, you need to restart your computer for these settings to go through, and the services are not needed will not restart.
It can be fun to write up the information about memory usage as shown on the Vista Service Optimizer first page, and then compare the numbers after you restart the computer. Just be sure to turn off all regular program before you compare.

Forget the paperless office - it is dead

A few years ago was talk much about thepaperless office . With datornas rampage, with e-mail and Word documents and all it is, so the paper would soon have had their day. Ha!
The paperless office was a dream and that dream is further away. Although we basically sit in front of our computers all day long (well, we who work in these industries that is). Now, says HP on a new European study shows that it is the younger generation who prefer paper over the old.

A recent survey in Europe in particular, what tools employees of small and medium-sized companies use when making decisions shows that the youngest has the greatest confidence in the printed surface. In the age group under 24 years say 84 percent that they use prints to 77 percent of all age groups and only 59 percent of the oldest, those over 55.

One would think that it was the opposite, but it's apparently not. The younger you are, the more reliance is placed anywhere on the paper. For skrivarbranschen this is of course good news. For the environment, it's not as good. Mother Nature never seems to manage to win.
I myself am not much better . My printer is quite warm, even if I try to keep it down.At work, for example, we never run out pages of newspapers on paper, but works exclusively with PDFs on screen. Personally I think that the biggest advantage of the paper, is that you can take it with you everywhere and you can scribble on it. It is not easy to scribble on an Excel or Word documents.
How do you do - print a lot, or run everything on the computer screen?

The Threat of fake antivirus

A new threat
For years, we have detected harmful content on the web and we have helped to protect users from most of them. Vulnerabilities in popular web browsers and plug-ins have resulted in an increase in the number of users whose systems can be compromised by attacks known as "drive-by downloads." These attacks do not require any user interaction, allowing attackers to run code on a user's computer without his knowledge. However, even without these vulnerabilities, we can exploit certain psychological vulnerabilities of an unsuspecting user, convincing him to unknowingly install malicious code supplied by an attacker on your computer. A growing threat is the spread of products known as Fake Anti-Virus ( AntiVirus False).
Fake Antivirus
This malware exploits the fear of the users that their computer might be vulnerable, as well as their desire to take the appropriate corrective action. For example visit a malicious or compromised Web site to download it and pushing it a false remedy, or sometimes even an ad malicious, which produces

that may affect the safety of a car. Security experts are working to help protect users against the threats of Fake AntiVirus anywhere.
The research data
Security experts have conducted a thorough analysis on the presence of Fake Antivirus Web over the past 13 months. The results are nothing short of alarming. The research analysis was conducted on 240 million web pages, and during the 13 months of study by experts showed that more than 11,000 domains are involved in the distribution of Fake AntiVirus and about 15% of domains found on the internet during that period is corrupted by malware. Over the years, the lifetime distribution of the domains by using the Fake AntiVirus attacks decreased significantly. However, despite the decrease significant lifetime of these domains, you should use products that your company's information security of trust. Also make sure you use the latest versions of this software, and if the scan detects any suspicious programs or applications, remove immediately ' application in question.

iPhone 4 : Apple removes references to competition on the performance of the antenna

Apple decided to remove the page dedicated to the performance of the antenna from its website. The deleted page is for videos that demonstrate poor reception or otherwise available for mobile products from the competition. The page was made visible after the Conference by Steve Jobs on the problems of the antenna 's iPhone 4. Some of the videos showed the decrease of signal in 4 iPhone and iPhone 3G, other video, however, were dedicated to the phones of other manufacturers: Blackberry, HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Motorola.
This move is not liked by the competitors and this could be one (but not only) of the reasons that led to the cancellation of part of the page. The Apple has not, in fact, removed the whole page on the antenna, but only the section reserved for the signal power of mobile competitors.
References to negative data are completely missing, expressions such as "defective", "bad signal" and "limited benefits" have been eliminated altogether, to return to talk about iPhone 4 in terms of excellence.
Probably the original intentions, those that led to the preparation of the signal from the page, had to demonstrate that if the iPhone 4 has a signal problem is not the only, but this maneuver may have started and then suspended the 'desired outcome? That is to compare the iPhone and other smartphones to emphasize that the limit is just that belongs to the whole class.
References to competition were removed at a later time, even in the Italian page, but surely the public will remember all the noise that this situation has been created.
