Top Ten iPhone Secrets You May Want To Know

The following list of ten hints may or may not be in the iPhone user manual, but these juicy shortcuts and hidden features will make your Apple iPhone experience that much sweeter. Oh, and I guess they'll make you more efficient too, but that's secondary.

1.If you click the button on the handsfree kit, you can pause your iPod-fueled music. Click it again to restart your tunes or double-click to skip tracks.

2.Double tap the space bar to get a full stop followed by a space. Drag your finger from the 123 button to the punctuation you need and it'll enter it, bringing you back to QWERTY right away.

3.The iPhone will automatically ask if you want airplane mode if it senses you are near speakers. This way, you avoid that annoying noise.

4.Do a quick zoom in and out on your photos with a quick double tap.

5.Text is entered when you take your finger off the screen, not when you press it.

6.Firmware 1.1.2 instantly sends you to your contacts when you double-tap teh home button at the bottom.

7.You can edit the five quick access buttons available from the iPod controls. Go to More then Edit to make your changes.

8.You can undelete Visual Voicemail.

9.A cheap adapter will cure the lack of a standard 3.5mm audio jack.

10.A "ruggedized rubber monstrosity of a case" will prevent theft and minimize damage.

List of Linux computer viruses and worms


The Linux operating system, along with Unix and other Unix-like computer operating systems, are generally regarded as well protected against computer viruses. However, viruses can potentially damage insecure Linux systems and impact their operation, and even possibly spread to other systems.

Like other Unix systems, Linux implements a multi-user environment where users are granted specific privileges and there is some form of access control implemented. As such, viruses typically have less of an ability to change and impact the host system. That is why none of the viruses written for Linux, including the ones below, have ever propagated successfully to a large number of machines. Also, the security holes that are exploited by the viruses have been fixed shortly after (or more often, before) the viruses started spreading. So the viruses listed no longer pose any concern as long as the Linux system is updated regularly.

The following is a list of known Linux malware:

Worms

Adm
Adore
Cheese
Devnull
Kork
Lapper
Linux/Lion (also known as Ramen)
Mighty
Slapper


Computer viruses

Alaeada
Binom
Bliss
Brundle
Diesel
Kagob
MetaPHOR (also known as Simile)
OSF.8759
RST [1]
Staog
Vit
Winter
Winux (also known as Lindose and PEElf)
ZipWorm

Will the iPod ever die?



The iPod has dominated the MP3 player (and portable video player) market so far. It began the ultimate revolution in how we listen to our music. Competitors have come and gone, while the iPod stood strong, but really, will the iPod ever die? Well there are a few points that say NO and some that say YES.

NO! It will not die! (at the bottom of the article we look at the possibility of it actually dying, but for now the NO points outweigh the YES)

1. Its just too cool

The iPod has become so much of a cool factor today that teens prefer it over any other MP3 player. They don’t care much about functionality, but how cool it looks. That’s where Apple’s ingenious design wins them over, and as long as the whole social group has iPods, it�s going to stay that way. People just don’t consider the Rio players or Zune cool looking: as the Apple sleek white design is just so much simpler. And Apple is getting better every day, with the recent introduction of colors (which we all love) and at even tinier (way cooler) iPod shuffle. So the driving force behind the iPod’s success is it is the coolest thing to have, to use, to show off, to carry around; and it will stay that way at the pace that Apple is making it cooler every season.

2. Its known

When we think of MP3 players we think Pod. That was not true a few years ago, MP3 player could mean Sony or Philips or any other brand, but today the word that first pops into our head is iPod. The iPod is now global, even here in India we see the white ear buds walking the streets. You can get an iPod probably anywhere in the world.

3. Price

Apple always has very competitive pricing for iPods, especially with the iPod shuffle. That�s one of the main factors teens look at, and combine that with the fact it�s just so cool, hey, how can we resist?

4. Competitors aren�t getting it.

Competitors like Creative and recently Microsoft (although the Zune does have a lot of potential) don’t know what the current generation is and what they want. We want simply stuff, which looks good and works. While competitors focus more on functionality which not many will use, Apple focuses on pushing the limits of creative design: which many people appreciate more. Would you rather have a tiny glossy iPod which plays MP3s only or a bigger bulkier competitor’s product which plays all known formats? Exactly. Apple made sense of it all giving us only what we will need, and sometimes more.

5. Accessories in all directions

We all love to personalize our stuff. Apple lets you do that with the countless number of accessories. It�s like pimping your car with rims: iSkins for iPods, headphones with glowing wires, lanyards, stick ons and what not. No company in the near future can create so much personalization to match up with what the iPod already has in its large accessory market.

6. We don’t like to change.

Once an iPod user, probably always an iPod user. If the iPod was your first MP3 player, you will probably never change if it�s worked well for you. When you plan to upgrade you will go for the newest iPod, not the Zune.

7. Getting better.

The iPod is getting better every season. With smaller sizes, bigger drives, better functions etc. So far no company has been able to match with the pace that Apple has set in introducing new iPods which keep us anticipating to what they will do next.

8. Personal Touch

Mentally we are fixed that Microsoft is a big company with no taste and no ‘coolness’. We see Apple as a bunch of fun loving guys which brings them closer to you than Microsoft or Creative. Their fun Ads on TV or their quiet sense of humor sometimes allows us to connect with the brand easier.

9. Killing the PC

As Apple converts even more people to Macs (and businesses) and as Macs get cheaper and more compatible with Windows, the iPod parade follows. More Macs, more iPods, more iProducts, more Apple.

10. Its just better

Well an odd concluding point but that�s the truth. The iPod is just one concept that will probably never die. It might change its name, it might evolve into something completely different from today, hey it might even be bought by Microsoft for all you know, but the iPod concept, the iPod coolness, will live forever. Adding to that:

Apple knows how to sell a product. (evident from the iPod’s success). With its addictive Ads, witty catch phrases, and good taste in music, they don’t even have to convince you to buy it, you just know you want (even have) to.

YES! It will die!
Well in this paragraph let�s look at the possibility of the iPod dying. What are the potential reasons that could lead to its death? Well for one some people find it hard to keep pace with the models being released so often. The iPod could soon lose its touch if Apple makes one wrong move and tries to get into the whole “Lets protect the artist’s rights” thing and prevent illegal music from getting on to it. Another possibility is the iPod becoming so so common that people will start buying other products just to be away from the crowd of iPod users and be unique. Hey, you never know.

Windows XP: Top 10 Reasons Why I Love You !




First of all advanced happy birthday wishes to xp!With Windows Vista on the horizon, it is important to look back at the life of Windows XP and commemorate it with a list of why we love that old workhorse of an operating system.

The Right Mouse Button
Sure, the competitor has been supporting the right mouse button for quite some time now, but they still neglect to include it in their packaged mice or touchpads on the laptops. XP has always supported the beloved right mouse button and always will. How else can you quickly steal images from the internet without the right mouse button?


Application Support
Don't get me wrong, the competitors have some cool software suites, but if there is a program out there, then there is a good chance it was made for XP, or has a version available for XP.

Gaming
Hands down, XP is a gaming machine. Gaming companies always make an XP version, and very few port their game over to the competitor's operating system. Where would we be as a society without Solitaire, Freecell and Minesweeper. And don't forget Pinball.

Customizability
Sure prepackaged computers with Windows XP are great (and cheap, see next bullet-point). But what if you want to build your own? Windows makes it easy as hell. Feel like upgrading components? Still easy. Half the time XP already has the drivers. Boy, this new video card sure is swell! And don't even get me started on the awesome case mods that always accompany XP-powered machines.

Machine Competition
There are hundreds of companies out there manufacturing machines to run XP. This drives the prices of machines down. Want a complete desktop unit for $300? It's possible with XP.

Speed
The competition may think they are cool with the animated enlarging icons, but that shit eats the ram, hardcore. XP uses less ram and runs a lot faster.

New Technology
What's that? Core 2 Duo? 64-bit processing? SLI graphics? Oh, XP has been doing that for ages now.

Media Center
XP saw the addition of Windows Media Center edition. And hell, they have been doing it for years. The addition of MCE to the XP operating system saw the first steps of home entertainment and PC integration. What's that? iTV in a year? Oh, neat, if you like old ideas.

Versions
SIX years later, it is still Windows XP. Sure, they have had some service packs, but that is a hell of a lot better than buying a new update every year named after a silly animal.

Piracy
Raise your hand if you have ever used a version of XP that wasn't exactly purchased. Windows Genuine Advantage has since hindered that possibility, somewhat, but still. XP helped kick start a generation of kids that do not pay for software with the help of P2P programs like BitTorrent, as of late. Free is always good.

10 Games that SHOULD be on the iPod


The 5th generation Video iPod can not only hold thousands of songs, play your favorite TV Shows, Movies, and Podcasts – now, it can even play games. The Video iPod is in an interesting place as a gaming device. It’s a step above cellphone games as far as graphical capability and screen size are concerned, but a pretty big leap away from a system like the Nintendo DS or Sony PSP.


Still, the Video iPod could be a very fun gaming platform with the right titles on the device. Not every kind of game will work with the click wheel interface, so only certain existing titles will be able to excel on the iPod. After taking a look at the current (and very small) list of titles available for the iPod…including Pac-Man, Zuma, Mahjong, Texas Hold’em Poker, Tetris, Bejeweled, and others…I’ve compiled a list of 10 titles that I think should be in future rounds of iPod games.


Each one would work well with the click wheel interface, and could be entertaining on the single-player only Video iPod. This list is not in any particular order, just 10 titles that I think would excel on Apple’s monster device. I have tried to mix classic titles with universal appeal, and titles from different genres and play styles that I think would do well with the iPod’s unique interface. With all that said…onto the list.


Space Invaders – Does it get anymore classic than Space Invaders? A graphically enhanced version of the classic game would be well worth $4.95 as long as they didn’t try to “improve” the gameplay.

The clickwheel would work perfectly for this title, and if done right, it would be a sure hit.


Pool – There are a lot of pool games out there. This screenshot is from the Yahoo Games version of pool, because a pool game in this style is what I think would work best for the Video iPod.

I’m sure they could kick the graphics up a little, and a pool title like this would be great for the Video iPod…the only real drawback is no two player mode, or online play.


Tapper – One of my favorite arcade titles from my childhood, Tapper (or Root Beer Tapper, depending on when and where you played it) is an arcade game that was practically born for the clickwheel.

I’ve downloaded this game for my cellphone, and played it online, but I’ve never enjoyed it on either platform. I think that would be different with the Video iPod, and I hope to see this title available for download sometime in the near future.


Spy Hunter – An updated version of the classic Spy Hunter (perhaps with The Rock making an appearance in the game if that movie is still happening) would be another great title for the Video iPod that places it’s roots in the classic gaming arena.

The classic controls with slightly updated graphics would make this an interesting and fun addition to the iPod’s line up.


Myst – An adventure game like Myst would be a very interesting addition to the Video iPod gaming market. A game like this is deep and immersive, with stunning rendered graphics and great puzzles.

It could work with the clickwheel interface, and would definitely be well worth the $4.95 standard price for iPod games. I might even be willing to pay a little bit more for a game of this depth.


Star Trek Starship Creator – Starship Creator was a very interesting PC game from several years back that allowed you to build your own starship, assign your own crew from almost every Star Trek character that’s ever appeared on the different series, and send them on missions throughout the galaxy.

It was a game that I really enjoyed, and was successful enough for a sequel to be created a short time after the initial one hit shelves. It’s unique gameplay, would work well on the Video iPod, and would be a treat for Star Trek fans.


Sudoku – Sudoku is insanely popular right now, and – if properly thought out – could be excellently translated to the Video iPod.

This addictive world-wide sensation would be a popular title that could have thousands of puzzles to keep you occupied for a very long time.


Vegas Casino – Like Pool, I’m keeping this term generic because there are several games already out there on other platforms with this type of gameplay.

Still, playing Slots, Roulette, Blackjack, Poker, Craps and Keno on your iPod would be a lot of fun, and something you could quickly play
