If you spend as much time in front of a computer as I do, learning a shortcut which can save a few seconds off a common task can be significant. Throw in the fact that I’m also a bit lazy… and it should explain why I’m always looking around for new Keyboard Shortcuts. The majority of Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts remain the same from Windows Vista and XP (thank you for that Microsoft), so many of the shortcuts I’ve compiled in this post should look familiar. If you have a favorite I’ve missed or you find a new one however, please be sure to tell me about it in the comments so I can add it to the list!

Hi friends!

What’s up? hope all of you are fine!

Today I’m sharing you a site link: http://www.squidoo.com/howtomakeanEbook

what will you get there?

How to make a pdf book or ebook!

Let’s have a look!

1. Write something worth reading!
2. Put it into Word or a similar word processor.
3. Change your page layout to wide.
4. Even better, change your page size to eight inches wide and six inches high.
5. Use a legible font for the body copy. Times is fine, but boring. Don’t use something fancy.
6. Use a headline font with bravado!
7. Now, if you have a Mac, just choose, “print to PDF”.
8. If you don’t have a Mac, go buy one and repeat the previous step, or, if you must, figure out how to do that step with a PC or a Commodore 64 or whatever it is you’re using. [Easy tip: visit http://www.openoffice.org/ it's free and has print to PDF built in].

Your eBook is now basic, but done.
If you open it in Adobe Acrobat (not the Reader, but the for sale version) you can add hyperlinks.

Stay fine and keep fine!

Facebook changes home page interface. Facebook real-time news feed in right side. Also you can now select ‘This topics interesting, Awesome features.  The new design update includes the Ticker Feature, some improvements to what recent posts will be shown and how they’ll all be laid out. For now, those who’ve been treated with the new Facebook layout, and you happen to not like it, here’s a simple technique to get the old layout back up. You need to change your facebook language.

Just follow 2 steps:

• Go to your Account Settings and Select General.
• In General, check what is your Preferred Language and set it to English(UK).

• Click on Save Changes and check out your Facebook layout now. This seems to be working for many.

Try this out and let us know if it works for you too.

7 Tips to improve your PC security

 

 

7 Tips to improve your PC security

 

1. Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software.

Install Anti-virus and Anti-spyware software on your computer before you start surfing the first time. The difference between a computer virus and spyware is that – a virus is a malicious piece of computer code that can be implanted on any computer and it can result in destruction of the file systems of your computer and can be transferred from one computer to another and spread like the biological virus. A spyware is a program that collects information about you without your knowledge or consent. A spyware does not spread like a virus.

 

2. Keep your computer firewall ON all the time

Most anti-virus soft wares come with a firewall. If the operating system that you are using is Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Macintosh OS X, then it has an in-built firewall. Usually, the firewall is off when the computer is shipped to you, so make you read instructions on how to turn on the firewall. A firewall prevents direct communication between your computer and another computer (a hacker's computer).

 

3. Turn on the automatic software updates feature

Turn on the automatic updates feature of your anti-virus, anti-spyware, OS, and firewall on and stay current. This is a good online computer security measure. It is important that you have the most current protection. Hackers search on the internet for computers that are either unprotected or don't have the latest protection features. Hackers can hack into your computer and install software on your computer. This will enable them to steal login details of your online bank accounts, other membership sites like Ebay, Paypal etc. and also send Spam emails that appear to originate from your computer. Sending Spam emails that appear to originate from your email address can result in your account being revoked!

 

4. Store your computer information safely

Storing your computer information safely can help the technician who is fixing/ restoring your computer. For example, on Windows, Click Start and then choose Run. This will bring up small window wherein you need to type ‘msinfo32' without the quotes. This will bring up a system window. On this widow, choose the file menu and then Export. Export your system information on to a CD. Similarly, for other operating systems, search on Google.com for information on storing the system information on a CD.

 

5. Backup important files

It is important to back up important files. Determine what you would do to restore your computer if it has been attacked. Pretend that your computer file system has been corrupted and then what steps would you take to restore. You will realize that having a backup can make things easy for you.

 

6. Use strong password authentication

When you signup for an online membership like online bank, , Paypal, Ebay etc., do not use weak passwords that can make it easy for people who know you or have your some information about, easy to hack. Using your significant other's name, child's name, pet's name etc. are weak. Use something stronger like first letters of the address of the house where you were born concatenated to your birth year or something along those lines. It is best if the password is NOT some meaningful word!

 

7. Protect your personal information

If you are asked to give out personal information like phone number, address, SSN, identification numbers etc. on the internet, use more caution. Find out exactly why and how they will be used. If there is a link in your email that asks you to login by clicking on the link, then don't! Usually genuine emails don't ask you to login directly by clicking a link in the email. If you want to login to your membership accounts, always open a new browser and then type the URL of the website (to login to Paypal account, type paypal.com on the new browser instead of clicking on the link from an email that is asking you to login.).

If you are giving out credit card information, then the page that accepts credit card information must have secure encryption. The URL usually begins with https instead of the regular http. If you right click and select properties, the Connection section should read something like 128 bit encryption (High) and also must have 1024 bit exchange.

 

Following these 7 steps to online computer security can protect you and your computer from online attacks.

Looking for the ultimate tips for Google searching? You’ve just found the only guide to Google you need. Let’s get started:
1. The best way to begin searching harder with Google is by clicking the Advanced Search link.
2. This lets you search for exact phrases, “all these words”, or one of the specified keywords by entering search terms into the appropriate box.
3. You can also define how many results you want on the page, what language and what file type you’re looking for, all with menus.
4. Advanced Search lets you type in a Top Level Domain (like .co.uk) in the “Search within site of domain” box to restrict results.
5. And you can click the “Date, usage rights, numeric range and more” link to access more advanced features.
6. Save time – most of these advanced features are also available in Google’s front page search box, as command line parameters.
7. Google’s main search invisibly combines search terms with the Boolean construct “AND”. When you enter smoke fire – it looks for smoke AND fire.
8. To make Google search for smoke or fire, just type smoke OR fire
9. Instead of OR you can type the | symbol, like this: smoke | fire
10. Boolean connectors like AND and OR are case sensitive. They must be upper case.
11. Search for a specific term, then one keyword OR another by grouping them with parentheses, like this: water (smoke OR fire)
12. To look for phrases, put them in quotes: “there’s no smoke without fire”
13. Synonym search looks for words that mean similar things. Use the tilde symbol before your keyword, like this: ~eggplant
14. Exclude specific key words with the minus operator. new pram -ebay excludes all results from eBay.
15. Common words, like I, and, then and if are ignored by Google. These are called “stop words”.
16. The plus operator makes sure stop words are included. Like: fish +and chips
17. If a stop word is included in a phrase between quote marks as a phrase, the word is searched for.
18. You can also ask Google to fill in a blank. Try: Christopher Columbus discovered *
19. Search for a numerical range using the numrange operator. For example, search for Sony TV between £300 and £500 with the string Sony TV £300..£500
20. Google recognises 13 main file types through advanced search, including all Microsoft Office Document types, Lotus, PostScript, Shockwave Flash and plain text files.
21. Search for any filetype directly using the modifier filetype:[filetype extension]. For example: soccer filetype:pdf
22. Exclude entire file types, using the same Boolean syntax we used to exclude key words earlier: rugby -filetype:doc
23, In fact, you can combine any Boolean search operators, as long as your syntax is correct. An example: “sausage and mash” -onions filetype:doc
24. Google has some very powerful, hidden search parameters, too. For example “intitle” only searches page titles. Try intitle:herbs
25. If you’re looking for files rather than pages – give index of as the intitle: parameter. It helps you find web and FTP directories.
26. The modifier inurl only searches the web address of a page: give inurl:spices a go.
27. Find live webcams by searching for: inurl:view/view.shtml
28. The modifier inanchor is very specific, only finding results in text used in page links.
29. Want to know how many links there are to a site? Try link:sitename – for example link:www.mozilla.org
30. Similarly, you can find pages that Google thinks are related in content, using the related: modifier. Use it like this: related:www.microsoft.com
31. The modifier info:site_name returns information about the specified page.
32. Alternatively, do a normal search then click the “Similar Pages” link next to a result.
33. Specify a site to search with the site: modifier – like this: search tips site:www.techradar.com
34. The above tip works with directory sites like www.dmoz.org and dynamically generated sites.
35. Access Google Directory – a database of handpicked and rated sites – at directory.google.com
36. The Boolean operators intitle and inurl work in Google directory, as does OR.
37. Use the site: modifier when searching Google Images, at images.google.com. For example: dvd recorder site:www.amazon.co.uk
38. Similar, using “site:.com” will only return results from .com domains.
39. Google News (news.google.com) has its own Boolean parameters. For example “intext” pulls terms from the body of a story.
40. If you use the operator “source:” in Google News, you can pick specific archives. For example: heather mills source:daily_mail
41. Using the “location:” filter enables you to return news from a chosen country. location:uk for example.
42. Similarly, Google Blogsearch (blogsearch.google.com) has its own syntax. You can search for a blog title, for example, using inblogtitle:
43. The general search engine can get very specific indeed. Try movie: to look for movie reviews.
44. The modifier film: works just as well!
45. Enter showtimes and Google will prompt you for your postcode. Enter it and it’ll tell you when and where local films are showing.
46. For a dedicated film search page, go to www.google.co.uk/movies
47. If you ticked “Remember this Location” when you searched for show times, the next time you can enter the name of a current film instead.
48. Google really likes movies. Try typing director: The Dark Knight into the main search box.
49. For cast lists, try cast: name_of_film
50. The modifier music: followed by a band, song or album returns music reviews.
51. Try searching for weather London – you’ll get a full 4-day forecast.
52. There’s also a built-in dictionary. Try define: in the search box.
53. Google stores the content of old sites. You can search this cache direct with the syntax keyword cache:site_url
54. Alternatively, enter cache:site_url into Google’s search box to be taken direct to the stored site.
55. No calculator handy? Use Google’s built in features. Try typing 12*15 and hitting “Google Search”.
56. Google’s calculator converts measurements and understands natural language. Type in 14 stones in kilos, for example.
57. It does currency conversion too. Try 200 pounds in euros
58. If you know the currency code you can type 200 GBP in EUR instead for more reliable results.
59. And temperature! Just type: 98 f to c to convert Fahrenheit to Centigrade.
60. Want to know how clever Google really is? Type 2476 in roman numerals, then hit “Google Search”…
61. You can personalise your Google experience by creating a Google account. Go to www.google.com/account/ then click “Create Account”.
62. With a Google account there are lots more extras available. You’ll get a free Gmail email account for one…
63. With your Google account, you can also personalise your front page. Click “iGoogle” to add blog and site feeds.
64. Click “Add a Tab” in iGoogle to add custom tabs. Google automatically populates them with suitable site suggestions.
65. iGoogle allows you to theme your page too. Click “Select Theme” to change the default look.
66. Some iGoogle themes change with time…”Sweet Dreams” is a theme that turns from day to night as you browse.
67. Click “More” under “Try something new” to access a full list of Google sites and new features.
68. “Custom Search” enables you to create a branded Google search for your own site.
69. An active, useful service missing from the list is “Personalised Search” – but you can access it via www.google.com/psearch when you’re logged in.
70. This page lists searches you have recently made – and is divided into categories. Clicking “pause” stops Google from recording your history.
71. Click “Trends” to see the sites you visit most, the terms you enter most often and links you’ve clicked on!
72. Personalised Search also includes a bookmark facility – which enables you to save bookmarks online and access them from anywhere.
73. You can add bookmarks or access your bookmarks using the iGoogle Bookmarks gadget.
74. Did you know you can search within your returned results? Scroll down to the bottom of the search results page to find the link.
75. Search locally by appending your postcode to the end of query. For example Indian food BA1 2BW finds restaurants in Bath, with addresses and phone numbers!
76. Looking for a map? Just add map to the end of your query, like this: Leeds map
77. Google finds images just as easily and lists them at the top, when you add image to the end of your search.
78. Google Image Search recognises faces… add &imgtype=face to the end of the returned URL in the location bar, then hit enter to filter out pictures that aren’t people.
79. Keeping an eye on stocks? Type stocks: followed by market ticker for the company and Google returns the data from Google Finance.
80. Enter the carrier and flight number in Google’s main search box to return flight tracking information.
81. What time is it? Find out anywhere by typing time then the name of a place.
82. You may have noticed Google suggests alternate spellings for search terms – that’s the built in spell checker!
83. You can invoke the spell checker directly by using spell: followed by your keyword.
84. Click “I’m Feeling Lucky” to be taken straight to the first page Google finds for your keyword.
85. Enter a statistics-based query like population of Britain into Google, and it will show you the answer at the top of its results.
86. If your search has none-English results, click “Translate this Page” to see it in English.
87. You can search foreign sites specifically by clicking “Language Tools”, then choosing which countries sites to translate your query to.
88. Other features on the language tools page include a translator for blocks of text you can type or cut and paste.
89. There’s also a box that you can enter a direct URL into, translating to the chosen language.
90. Near the language tools link, you’ll see the “Search Preferences”. This handy page is full of secret functionality.
91. You can specify which languages Google returns results in, ticking as many (or few) boxes as you like.
92. Google’s Safe Search protects you from explicit sexual content. You can choose to filter results more stringently or switch it off completely.
93. Google’s default of 10 results a page can be increased to up to 100 in Search Preferences, too.
94. You can also set Google to open your search results in a new window.
95. Want to see what others are searching for or improve your page rank? Go to www.google.com/zeitgeist
96. Another useful, experimental search can be found at www.google.com/trends – where you can find the hottest search terms.
97. To compare the performance of two or more terms, enter them into the trends search box separated by commas.
98. Fancy searching Google in Klingon? Go to www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon
99. Perhaps the Swedish chef from the muppets is your role model instead? Check www.google.com/intl/xx-bork
100. Type answer to life, the universe and everything into Google. You may be surprised by the result…
