You are one of the Apples’ iPhone fans and would like your Windows Mobile device interface runs like the famous gadget, then this could be the right application software for you. I have tried it for few days and it works great and nice to show off to friends around.GoodWin, a new Windows Mobile Device Application software developed by VitoTechnology can give u a totally fresh view on your smartphone.
As compared to i contact that we introduced previously, this application seems to have more and nicer GUI (Graphics User Interface) not only limited to Contact List. Similarly, user can slide down the menu list by tapping and dragging using dual finger scrolling method. Besides, it helps user to categorize the menu lists properly for fast selection.
Only minor drawback, it won’t respond to your landscape mode especially for those devices that support sliding hard keyboard. Also, some of the icons are not clickable and the scrolling experience could be troublesome if you are already getting used to tapping and typing instead of dual finger scrolling action.
The application software costs around $14.96 which is quite reasonable for those that intend to own an iPhone interface while still able to enjoy the 3G (if you own a 3G smartphone) browsing capability. It occupies around 1MB space and is fully compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 version. For Windows Mobile 2003 version, it may not able to provide full functionality but no harm to get a 14-days trial by download your device space allowed.

Sending important files to email is one of the methods to backup files and more importantly, you can access these files anywhere anytime when there is a need. However, to send files to your email, it involves several steps which could be quite time consuming. First, you need to login to your email account, then click compose mail, browse to the directory and select the file to upload, waiting for uploading process to be completed and then hit send button. All these steps could easily take up 5-10 mins to just send 1 file to your own email account. Now there is a utility, named as Backup To EMail that is designed to let you send files to email in more efficient way by using right click context menu and without the need for you to login to your email account manually.
Backup To EMail is a free utility that is able to backup your files quickly by sending them to your email through right click context menu. Once you have installed and launched it for the first time, it will prompt you to configure your Gmail username and password by default. If you would like to backup files to other email service provider, you can change it by right clicking on the tray icon (with V symbol), then choose Setup and click Advance button. The setting page will be displayed and go the main settings page (click Main at the left pane), double click on Other email and change all the settings to the email service provider as you preferred. After completed the email setting, you can send any files to your email by just right clicking on the file, then choose Backup To EMail from the context menu. It will show you the progress bar so that you are aware with the uploading status. Once the uploading process is completed and the file has been sent, a balloon notification will pop up to inform you that the file has been sent to your email successfully.Backup To EMail 2.1.1 is absolutely free for download and is compatible to run on Windows 3.x,/95/98/ME/2000/NT/2003/XP/Vista/7 and Windows Server 2008. The only pre-requisite is you must have Java Runtime Environment 6.0 installed. One thing you may need to take note is the downloaded installer doesn’t come with exe extension, so you must append exe extension to the installer in order to make it a valid installer

For convenience sake, many users tend to store or save their log in name and password in some websites, email account, forum, etc with their browser in the sign-on database file in encrypted format. With the stored username and password, users can speed up the log in process without having to type in again. Storing log in username and password in the browser generally poses quite high security risk to users. Essential data or info might be leaked out under some circumstances, for instance, when laptops get stolen, sharing the same computer, etc. Users might also have forgotten their own log in name and password stored in the event their browser for some reasons stops working, etc. If users are using the Firefox browser, they can easily decrypt their user name and password stored in the browser via a tiny tool, namely FirePasswordViewer.FirePasswordViewer is the GUI version of popular FirePassword tool designed to decrypt sign-on username and password stored by Firefox. This application is a tiny executable program which will show the list of usernames and passwords stored by the Firefox browser. It tells you, for instance, saved log in and password in mydigitallife, etc. Users do not need to run the browser to get the decrypted info. Besides, FirePasswordViewer can be used to display sign-on secrets from different profiles (other than current profile) as well as from a different operating system (such as Linux, Mac etc) altogether.
On a positive note, FirePasswordViewer can help users to decrypt the encrypted sign-on secret stored by Firefox. It will be useful when users’ Firefox browser stop functioning and users need to extract all the stored passwords from the browser. However, this application can also be used by people with ill intentions to copy the stored username and password in the browser. They can execute the program and get the encrypted secret sign-on files which they want. The program does allow users to save the display sign-on information to a file in standard HTML format which can be viewed or copied to another place.

However, to avoid unnecessary security risks and the threat of the stored sign-on database being exposed, Firefox browser features a “Master Password” function to allow users to protect access to their stored password. Users are recommended to set one Master Password under “Tools -> Options -> Security / Passwords -> Use a master password” as the master password is not selected by default. With the master password in place, an application such as FirePasswordViewer will not be able to extract the stored username and password info without a correct master password being entered. Master Password somehow will help to minimize the risk but it still won’t totally protect users. Passwords can still be recovered or hacked via programs such as FireMaster. Set Password.

Previously we mentioned about Siteshoter that can capture screenshot on websites in simple steps, but in case you are looking for alternative, you may want to give this a try. Named as Simple Webpage Capture, it is a free and tiny utility that helps you snapping any webpage regardless its size and length for future reference.Once installed and launched the utility, users will be brought to a simple interface. For the start, just configure the output location for all the screenshots to be saved into for better file management. Users can set the image file’s formats to be either in .jpg, .png, .bmp, .tif, .gif based on own preference. To start the utility, users just need to specify the built in browser window to the width and the utility will auto scroll the length of the page so that the whole webpage can be covered without hassle of manually select and snap. Besides, there is a way to configure the watermark settings for much more effective usage.
Simple Webpage Capture is compatible to be used in Windows OS such as 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista and the only requirement it needs Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher in order to work perfectly.

In Windows 7, when a user uses mouse to double click or press Enter key to open, explorer or drill down on a drive or folder, the folder trree on the navigation pane of Windows Explorer does not automatically expand the navigation pane’s tree to show and display current folder or directory user is at. In other words, Windows 7 Explorer’s navigation pane will stay at top level of a drive or folder, and does not expand the sub-folders branches, unless user manually expand the folder tree.The behavior of Windows 7 Explorer is a total change from Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 or earlier Windows operating system, where the Windows Explorer’s navigation pane will always automatically expand the folder tree to show the deepest or lowest level of folders been opened or arrived at.
Windows 7 actually does possess such ability to automatically expand navigation pane of Windows Explorer to current folder, but it’s turned off and disabled by default. For users who prefer that the navigation pane expands to follow their path into nested folders, the trick is indeed easy.
How to Make Windows Explorer Automatically Expand Navigation Pane to Current Folder in Windows 7
Open Windows Explorer.
Click on Organize pull down menu.
Click on Folder and search options.
Under the “Navigation pane” section, select and tick the check box for Automatically expend to current folder option. Click OK.
With the setting enabled, the navigation pane of Windows 7 Explorer will automatically expand when user goes to sub-folder.

New users to Facebook (and probably some existing users, but not all of them yet) are getting a new search experience in Facebook starting Monday. The new interface for search makes it possible to see all public results from Facebook users (the Everyone filter), or just results from your friends. Or, as before, only Events, Groups, or Applications.
The Everyone filter is the key new feature. It lets Facebook users monitor the entire network for news and updates on big topics, the same way Twitter was consumed for information coming from Iran after the recent election.
Like Twitter Search, the Facebook search result page alerts you when new results come in that match your query, but it doesn't update the whole page until you ask. This is arguably the best way to keep people up to date without overwhelming them.

Since WordPress 2.3, WordPress Dashboard provides an Incoming Links widget that ables to display backlinks that have been received by the blog, i.e. inbound links that point from external blogs and bring link juice (aka Google PageRank) to the linked blog. WordPress has been using Google Blog Search as the search engine to provide such information on incoming links.The Incoming Links widget box on WordPress Dashboard allows blogger to customize and configure the number of inbound links items that user want to display in the Dashboard. However, with the default configuration of Google Blog Search Incoming Links RSS feed URL, it’s impossible to increase the number of incoming links displayed (cannot make the number of incoming links displayed to more than 10 (ten)).
The cause for the WordPress Incoming Links widget maximum number of items error is because the default Google Blog Search RSS feed limits the maximum backlinks returned by Google to 10. And WordPress does not cache the older incoming links that have previously been received by it, making the Dashboard only has a maximum of 10 inbound links to display at any time.
To fix problem cannot or unable to increase number of incoming links displayed on WordPress Dashboard, just increase the number of back links returned by Google Blog Search RSS feed. To do so, hover the mouse over the Incoming Links widget pane, and click on Configure that appears. Edit the existing RSS feed URL to change the number of items from 10 to 20, or any number you like. However, value greater than 20 is not meaningful as widget can only display maximum of 20 incoming links.
Adjust also the value of number of items you would like to display from the pull down list. Click Submit when done. Voice, now more than 10 incoming links can be shown on Dashboard.

The start up speed of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) can be slow sometimes, where running and opening a new instance of IE web browser frame window could take several seconds to complete. Besides, when opening new tab in IE 8, even if it’s a blank tab, the new tab opening process may be slow to frustration too, with “Connecting…” description on Tab bar when launching new tab.
One of the main reason why IE8 browser window and tabs launches slowly is due to myriad of add ons or plug-ins that been installed and loaded by IE browser. To help users to identify what add-ons or plugins that causing Internet Explorer runs slowly, Internet Explorer 8 has included the a load time information for all addons on its interface.
To view the loading time of add-ons, head to Tools -> Manage Add-ons menu in Internet Explorer 8. For most toolbars, add-ons, plugins and extensions, their loading time, which cause the delay of IE startup or tab opening as it’s added on top of normal window frame or tab loading time, is displayed in the column name “Load Time”.Microsoft not only lists the installed toolbars, plugins and add-ons but also their loading time. This loading time is added on top of the normal tab loading time in Internet Explorer. It is now easy with the tools at hand to analyze the toolbars and plugins that increase the tab and window loading time in Internet Explorer the most and find ways to deal with the situation.
The load time of add-ons is normally in seconds, if it’s in minutes that the add-on should be removed immediately. For add-ons that take too much time and slow to load, it’s possible to disable the toolbar or extension immediately by clicking on Disable button. IE8 will also automatically search for related add-ons and present a choice to disable these related add-ons as well.
The loading time of some plugins and toolbars is not displayed in the manager. Disabling these can also have a positive effect on the tab and window loading times in Internet Explorer.

You feel that your Internet connection and surfing speed is sluggish and slow at times, even though you’re using high speed cable modems or DSL broadband Internet access, it may be because that you’re using your ISP’s DNS services by default, which may be slow. DNS or Domain Name System is a service that stores, associates, translates and resolves the easy-to-remember domain names or human addresses of websites and servers (e.g. wikipedia.org) to the hard-to-remember IP addresses or numerical address used by computers (e.g. 188.88.8.8), which is needed for a web browser to locate the server on the Web to fulfill user’s requests.The resolution and workaround to slow ISP’s DNS resolver is use a third party DNS resolver such as OpenDNS. The advantages of the OpenDNS are that OpenDNS runs on a big and smart cache contributed by activities of the broader OpenDNS user base, beside also runs on a high-performance network which is geographically distributed and serviced by several redundant connections, so that any DNS query request will be reliably responded from nearest location.
OpenDNS also has added benefits of domain name typo correction feature where OpenDNS will corrent any spelling or typo mistake on the URLs on the fly, or display search results for error that OpenDNS can’t recognize. OpenDNS also intercepts phishing sites with warning for safer surfing. Best of all, OpenDNS is free, and the only difference from using the default ISP’s DNS server is that you will see landing page with advertisements and organic search results when the URL or domain entered is not valid and not a typo OpenDNS can fix.
However, as most OpenDNS DNS servers and networks of DNS caches are located in US, so generally if you’re out of North America, you may actually experience slow down instead of blazing faster. But since OpenDNS is free, no software to install, no registration needed, and configuration takes less than 2 minutes, there is no harm to try out OpenDNS
