Make a Diary Using Notepad!
Most of the people know that notepad is used to create and modify plain text. But very little of them know about its useful applications. It has many tricks. In this post I am gonna show a small trick of notepad.
You can make a diary using notepad. To do so simply follow the steps below:
1. Go to run by press Windows Key + R then type notepad and hit enter.
2. Write .LOG in the notepad.
3. Save it as Diary or any other desired name as your choice. (Make sure that your file format is .txt)
Now when you open up this file, each time it will insert the date and time of opening the file just as below:
NB: If you don't use this trick but wanna insert date and time in the notepad simply hit the F5 button of the keyboard.
Laptop Vs. Desktop: Which one should you buy?
Day by day the use of mobile PC (laptop, notebook, tablet) is increasing rapidly. Most of the computer users are no longer interested in desktop computer. Of course there are some logical reasons behind this trend. Laptop is portable, easy to move, smaller in size and so many.
 |
But this is a very rare case that a person use laptop but doesn't suffer a lot! Because laptops are not so strong like desktop PCs. They are small in size as well as small in capacity too! Repairing a desktop is relatively easy. But rearing a laptop requires some extra skills.
Laptop is really a sensitive device. Anytime your keyboard or touch pad can be damaged. And this is not very easy to replace the parts of laptops. Though it might have warranty for around two years but when you give it to the service center they may give it back to you after several weeks.
Now the question is what should a person buy- Laptop or Desktop?
Well the answer depends on several factors.
Computer experts suggest to buy desktop in case of heavy workload like Graphics Design, Gaming etc. But if you don't have works like that then you can buy laptop. Laptop is ideal device for net browsing, official works etc.
But if you need to have a computer with you then laptop I mean mobile PC is the only one solution.
So before buying any computer, first determine what will you do with it. Then buy laptop or desktop that meets your necessity.
NB: If you wanna purchase mobile PC then don't go for notebook! Because usually it doesn't have any CD or DVD ROM and will cause you a great problem when the OS lost!!
Direct X Diagnostic Tool: dxdiag
If you use computer often you need to analyze your system configuration. If your PC gets damaged and necessary to take it to the service center then you should check the system configuration. Unfortunately if the experts of service center are dishonest then they might change your system. For example you have 2 GB RAM. They can replace it with an 1 GB RAM. Your Processor may be Dual Core. They can replace it with a Pentium 4 processor.
With DirectX Diagnostic Tool you can see the detailed information about the hardware and drivers installed on your system. You can view the system manufacturer, system model, processor capacity, RAM, DirectX version, Video Card, Sound Card and so many.
To open DirectX Diagnostic Tool, simply go to the Run by pressing Window Key + R, then type dxdiag and hit enter. Now a Yes/ No option may appear. Just hit on the yes button. Now you will see a window named DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

Lost your Motherboard CD? Simply go to the Manufacturer's Web Site!
Every motherboard manufacturer and most of the other device manufacturers provide a driver CD for the hardware to make it compatible with Operating Systems. Except some plug and play device such as Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speaker most of the other devices have a driver CD.
At least 20 to 30% people lost their driver CD due to their carelessness! And when they re install the OS they lost sound and graphics options! And try to find a CD here and there. And unfortunately driver CD are not same for different models of devices.
But it is very simple to recover the lost CD! You can find it from the manufacturer's website. For example, if you lost your HP Laptop's Driver CD, just visit www.hp.com. And Search by writing the device name and model in the search box.
Here are some of the common websites that may be helpful for you:
1. Intel
2. Gigabyte
3. HP
4, Realtek
5. Asus
6. Canon
7. Compaq
After visiting this sites, you may find several pages like Download, Help and Support, Support & Driver etc. You can either go this pages or simply search in the search box by entering the product name and model.
How do you know what is the name your system manufacturer?
This is also a common questions. Go to the run (press Window Key + R) and write dxdiag. Then hit the enter button. If a Yes/No Option appears hit on the Yes button.
Now you will see a Window named DirectX Diagnostic Tool. You will find the details of your PC from here.
Under the System Tab you will find system manufacturer name. This is your motherboard.
Under the Display Tab you will find the graphics manufacturer name.
Under the Sound Tab, you will find the sound manufacturer name.

Leading OS: Windows, Mac, Linux
Any desktop, laptop or mobile devices like iPad or Tablet PC essentially needs an OS to operate. And there are numerous OS and OS manufacturers throughout the world. But most of them are out of competition. People only know about very few of them.
In this post I am gonna focus on OS Usage Statistics of Micro Computer- Desktop, Laptop and Notebook.
In the above figure you can easily see the usage statistics / market share of the most used OS of the world. If you need even more, then go for details below:
Windows: Software giant Microsoft secured the top position by their windows OS. This is the most widely used OS in the whole world. Specially in micro computers it has no strong competitors. More than 84% micro computers run on Windows OS. Few years ago, when it lunched Windows Vista, it faces serious criticism. But few years later when Windows 7 released Microsoft was able to recover their reputation. Now it is working with Windows 8. Trial of Windows 8 is available in the net. And hopefully within few weeks/ months it is going to be released with full features and support. 
Mac: Late Steve Jobs' Apple is famous for iPod, iPad, iPhone. But it also produce desktop and tablet. And their devices run on Mac OS. Not bad, but can't compete with windows due to its closed business system and high price of hardware. Though its market share is still very low, but there is a chance for them to grab Windows OS users. And they are always trying to capture the OS market. But Microsoft is really a tough friend as their chairman is Mr. Bill Gates! Isn't it? 
Linux: Now come to the world of open source software. Yes, I am talking about Linux. This is at the bottom of top used OS. It has different versions of OS and they are often released few times in a month. Some of them are well known to people. Such as- Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Mint etc. Developers and IT professional like Linux and they are happy with it. But general people simply hate it due to its interface and complex system. If Linux wanna increase its share then it has no way if it fails to realize the users psychology. Others: There are many other OS too. But none of them are able to capture 1% of total market. List of other OS even may exceeds thousand! But nobody knows will one of them be able to access the top OS list or not. Here you can find the name of almost all OS.

Goodbye BIOS
Goodbye BIOS, Welcome UEFI
Your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) is about to become history and be replaced by Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). Without compatibility problem, it has no pitfalls.
When you turn on your system, a primitive system that dates back more than 30 years, the basic input/output system (BIOS), turns your cold hardware into a functioning system that your operating system can then boot from.
Can you imagine?! 30 years in the field of technology! Where things are changed within 30 seconds BIOS are surviving for 30 years! How can it be possible? Due to the compatibility problem this obsolete technology is surviving for a long time. Now it is time to change and upgrade.
Hardware manufacturers are slowly replacing BIOS with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). That's all well and good, but one UEFI feature, Secure Boot, could be used to lock PCs into being only able to boot one operating system: Windows 8.
So, what's really going on here? Is UEFI just a way for Microsoft and its most loyal original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to keep Linux and other alternative operating systems out or is it more than that? To answer that question, let's have a look at what is UEFI.
What is UEFI
If you've computer hardware business, you know that BIOS has been terribly back dated for decades. For example, a BIOS only has 1 MB of executable space. That means a BIOS has trouble to start up the multiple peripheral interfaces (USB, eSATA, ThunderBolt, etc.) devices, ports, and controllers on a modern Computer. Just as annoying, the BIOS was never meant to initialize more than a handful of devices so even if you can get all devices ready to go it will take up to 30 seconds after you turn the switch on before your PC is ready to start booting.
Hardware manufacturers knew that BIOS was obsolete even before the 21st century dawned. But, until recently they couldn't agree on how to replace it.
In 1998, Intel started work on the “Intel Boot Initiative” (IBI), later known as Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). While Apple, in its Intel-based Macs, and HP, with its Itanium 2 servers, used it, the other OEMs and, needless to say, Intel's rival chip vendors, weren't initially keen on adopting EFI. In 2007, Intel, along with AMD, AMI, Apple, Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Phoenix Technologies, finally agreed to use UEFI (the re-branded EFI) as the universal replacement for BIOS.
Don't mistake UEFI as being purely a BIOS replacement. It's not.
UEFI is a mini-operating system that sits on top of a computer's hardware and firmware. Instead of being stored in firmware, as is the BIOS, the UEFI code is stored in the /EFI/ directory in non-volatile memory. Thus, UEFI can be in NAND flash memory on the motherboard or it can reside on a hard drive, or even on a network share!
Even in a UEFI system there will still be a little bit of the BIOS in the firmware to enable UEFI itself to "boot" up.
The UEFI advantage
The first thing you'll notice about UEFI systems is that they boot faster and you can have even larger primary drives. The BIOS is unable to boot from hard disks with more than 2.2 TB. That's a hard limit set in the Master Boot Record (MBR) that you can't fix. In the BIOS MBR, the maximum space for a drive is determined by the formula: 2 to the 32nd times 512 bits. This is an old hard drive addressing scheme. What it means in practice is that all but the most up-to-date computers can't boot with hard drives that are larger than 2.2TB. With 3TB drives now becoming common, OEMs have no choice but to move to UEFI on high-end PCs.
UEFI uses the GUID (Globally Unique ID) Partition Table, both to replace the MBR and address partitions. With GUID, you'll be able to boot from hard disks as large as 9.4ZB (zetabytes). How big is that? Well, everything -- and I mean everything -- on the Internet is believed to be just over 3ZBs. I don't think we have to worry about UEFI not being able to manage any drive it's likely to run into anytime soon.

Built in Security in Windows 8
Probably you don't need to purchase Anti Virus Program anymore!
Is this true? Ya this is true. And for sure.
Is this true? Ya this is true. And for sure.
Windows 8 has a built in antivirus program named Windows Defender. Windows defender was also included with windows vista and 7. But its functions were very limited. In windows 8, defender has been redesigned like Microsoft Security Essentials. The skin and interface of New Windows Defender is just like MSE. But maybe there is a significant change in case of performance.
 |
| Windows Defender |
You will find windows defender in the control panel only. On the desktop, you will find no sign of it. Whenever you insert a flash drive in the system, defender will be scanning it. Scanning process is silent. You will not be able to see it. When any virus/ spam/ warm/ malware is detected it will just show you a message. If you wanna further analyze the drive then you just need to click on the message. All other system is similar to Microsoft Security Essential.
