How To Install Windows 8 From A Bootable USB Drive
Microsoft has been ruling the market since the times when Bill Gates has introduced the Windows Operating System to the market. It was a huge revolution then that introduced people to GUI. Time and again newer versions of the operating system were launched to keep pace with the technological developments and offer something new to the users. When most of the people were just starting to use the Windows 7 it has announced to launch windows 8 soon. The new OS was talked about at the Build conference. The OS looked promising because of the Metro UI and certain other new features. Microsoft has made the developer’s version available for download.
The Windows 8 is available in both 64 bit and 32bit versions. One can select any based on their hardware configuration. It is preferable that one try out the 32 bit version. It is much smaller in size compared to the 64 bit one with a size of only 2.8 GB, You can download Windows 8 from here. You can create a bootable USB drive for Windows8 as it consumes much less time and gives you the least number of errors.

Once you download the tool, launch it. Ensure that you have the .iso file for Windows 8 developer preview. Insert the flash drive into the port.
Browse for the .iso file and select it.
In the next step, you are asked to select the media type. If you are not sure about the .iso file or have selected the wrong one, click on start over. Else as we want to create a bootable USB flash drive select USB device in this step.

Once the file is successfulyy copied, you are done and now you have a Bootable USB device.
Now you can use the flash drive to install the operating system on your computer. It is always better to do a fresh install.
Manage Your Downloads In Faster And Effective Way For Free
One literally downloads hundred of videos while surfing the internet. Each website has its own settings to allow the download of their files. One cannot find a download link on many of the video websites. However, one can reduce their tension to half by using a good download manager on their system. There is a plethora of options available over the net. One can try and use VDownloader.
VDownloader is a small utility that lets you download your videos from the net. The downloader is distributed under the freeware license and enables you to download video from a number of websites including YouTube, daily Motion and Metacafe. The tool automatically extracts the video URL from the website, the moment you open it in the browser. It then sends you a notification and all you need to do is to press the download button.
The downloader has a user friendly interface and one can learn to use it within minutes. There is nothing technical in it. The VDownloader also prompts you for the name of the file with which you want to save it on your system. This is one of the most lucrative features of the software amongst the others because a number of other download managers automatically save the file with some different names that makes it difficult to locate the file later on.

With the launch of its competitor Google+, Facebook added new features to its chatting service that included group chats and video chat.

How To Know Who Removes You From Circles On Google Plus
Google Plus is yet another mind boggling social networking tool launched by Google with the intention to give tough competition to Facebook. Google Plus was initially available to a limited number of users but soon the number of users increased on the website. The platform has a concept of circles wherein one can add each other to get each other’s update and stay connected. Every day you are added by a lot of people and you may also add a lot of people in your circles. When someone adds you in their circle you may feel nice about it but you never come to know if they remove you.
One may not control others when they remove them from their circles but now, one can certainly know about it if someone removes them from their circles. It is known as Google Minus. As suggested by its name, it is a browser extension that notifies you about the removal. Whenever someone removes you from the circle it automatically pops up on the browser. Ne can easily get the extension. You just have to go to the developer website and then install it on your browser.
How to Install Google Minus
The Google Minus extension can be installed on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. The extension is based on the Kynetx platform that enables one to develop cross platform applications that can run on different browsers. However before you install the extension let me highlight the fact that once you install it Google Minus can access all your data including the browsing data and history. So install it only if you do not mind your information to be accessed or else you should wait for some other extension or application.

Yahoo! Invited Hackers to Try
While numerous hacker groups like Anonymous and LulzSec are trying to prove that they can break into any system in the world and therefore being legally pursued by all large corporations, Yahoo!’s made its own contribution to file-sharing by doing the opposite. The company’s appetite for innovation has led Yahoo! to organize a number of events in which they invited people to try and hack Yahoo APIs. The events weren’t held for the first time, and the last year’s winners of the Open Hack and University Hack Day events sponsored by Yahoo! were again given a chance to let their imagination go wild.
The latest event was called Hack All-Stars, and was held first time in New York City. More than three dozen hackers participated in the meeting that previously won different Yahoo Events. The participants were given only one day to try and access Yahoo’s goodies. The teams delivered sixteen hacks, and at the end, a file-sharing tool called Ruum was declared the winner.
Ruum is a file-sharing instrument that was designed and developed by the Team D1W from Carnegie Mellon University. The software allows Internet users to interact, share information, communicate in the chat and exchange comments. The Team D1W was granted $10,000 prize. In addition, the developers received a chance to spend a whole year with the Yahoo developing team. Finally, they can now bring their own file-sharing application to the market.
The jury of the contest included Forbes and Yahoo!’s senior executives. The company is going to organize more similar events in the future, so everyone who is interested in taking part in them are invited to visit the Hack University website and get ready to participate next time.
Microsoft Will Lock Out Linux
For decades now open-sources have been running dual boot set ups featuring both Windows and Linux running alongside from a standardized boot. Nevertheless, the news is that in the new Windows 8, the firmware known as UEFI is going to replace the low level BIOS along with the ability to lock down PCs so that operating systems should be digitally signed through “secure boot”.
The industry couldn’t stay calm after this news. Ross Anderson, Cambridge University security engineering professor, claimed that Microsoft pushing for obligatory UEFI support would mean that such “unauthorized” operating systems as Linux or FreeBSD just won’t be able to run at all. The professor pointed out that it would mean an increased lock-in, less consumer choice and, as usual, less space to innovate. Overall, the entire idea is absolutely unlawful and mustn’t succeed.
However, software colossus Microsoft was quick to deny that its new operating system has been specifically designed to lock out Linux. The company’s representative said that secure boot was not a tool to lock out OS loaders, but rather a policy allowing firmware to validate authenticity of components. Microsoft has posted a long description of UEFI and the OS support for the next-generation security feature, trying to prove that it won’t control the settings on computer firmware which either control or enable secured boot from any OS different from Windows.
However, Linux fans remain a bit concerned about the secure booting feature of Microsoft that might lock their favorite operating system out. Moreover, the media already report that Linux Australia members have filed a complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission about the plans of software giant and been told they have a case.
The argument of the group was that any software or hardware will need to be signed by Microsoft or any other relevant original equipment manufacturer to be able to run. This clearly means that alternative OS like Linux (and maybe even older versions of Windows) won’t work without the secure keys bundled with new OS releases and many more.
In respond, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has hinted that the open-sources may have a case if they provided more information on the issue. That’s why Linux Australia is planning to bring the matter up again and consider a larger campaign against Windows 8.

Someone might be really close to you and share all their details with you but this does not give you the right to post it on Facebook for others to read. If you continue doing so, you yourself give the other person all the reasons to unfriend you.

7 Reasons Why Facebook Is Loosing Its Popularity Now A Days
Facebook, no doubt is still number of Social networking website however Facebook is loosing its popularity due to several factors. Many people who earlier were facebook insects have started saying Facebook is a boring network.
Actually no one is responsible for this except Facebook's design team because recently so much features were introduced and most of people didn't like most of features. There are 7 other reasons why Facebook is loosing popularity.
1- New Facebook Chat
Earlier, Facebook's chat system was really cool. But the recent chat in Facebook's chat design is one of the most hated upgrades done by Facebook. Now its compulsory to keep a chat sidebar opened while you are chatting. This makes the rest of page smaller which annoys most of regular Facebook users. Though you can get old facebook chat back but there is still no official remedy for this.
2. New Facebook Photo Viewer
Earlier, it was much cleaner and easier to view pictures in Facebook but the upgraded Facebook photo viewer called "new theater photo viewer" is yet another one of most hated Facebook upgrade. Though its a convenient way to view photos but the black window that pops-out on click, cause layout issues and most of people just don't like this.
3- This Friend Request can't be sent
This is most annoying security check in Facebook. They say you cant add strangers in your Facebook so you cant make requests. They consider this spam and threat you to disable your account. Well, if we cant make new friends on Facebook, what’s the use of Social networking then ? However we can add strangers if we have a mutual friend... that's really disgusting !
4. Fake profiles
This is the common reason between Orkut and Facebook. Orkut also lost its popularity because of fake profiles and Facebook is also facing this problem. There are 700+ Facebook accounts and more than 55% are either unverified, duplicate or fake accounts. Fake accounts are used for spamming or promoting abusive content and unfortunately Facebook is doing nothing for this.
5. Bad privacy policy
Earlier, people migrated from Orkut to Facebook because of nice Privacy options but now a days Facebook is also playing with its repute by changing privacy policy settings. Facebook, by default, recommends every one to share each and everything (statuses, photos etc) with public. Most of privacy options are confusing and there's always something that user couldn't figure out.
6. Spam
SPAM SPAM SPAM... this is what you will see everywhere on Facebook. Facebook pages is one of top features which are causing SPAM in Facebook. You will see thousands of pages saying "Like this Page to check who see your profile" , "Like this Page to View bla bla bla" , "Like This page to Win Gifts" etc. Many people have migrated to Google+ because of this.
7. Errors and Bugs
Last but not least, many times your Facebook account is not available due to bugs, errors or technical things. This makes users really frustrated. Many times we get "Facebook is not able to process our request" and the only reason is SPAM and fake profiles. Facebook does not have a better management for accounts. Due to access of profiles, these errors occur.

How to Setup your Own Proxy Website
Proxy websites are the most integral part of the internet world. These proxy sites use proxy servers and can bypass the firewall restrictions. You can use the proxy websites to access the web pages which network normally won’t allow seeing them. These proxy websites also helps you access the page where your IP is banned by the webmaster. But, many people complain that webproxys are not working at their works / schools computer. It’s not that hard to create your own proxy website. Check in some easy instructions to set up proxy sites.
Procedure to Setup your own Proxy Website:-
1) First search for the host that allows you to set up proxy websites. Most of the hosting providers don’t allow proxy browsing since it consumes much bandwidth which can overload the servers. So, choose a perfect host which allows hosting of your proxy browser. You can go for good hosting providers including alloyhosting.com, sycoblue.com, wdservers.com, techentrance.com, vt16.com, versaweb.net, subohost.com, kiloserve.com, strikedata.com, iwhic.com, etc.
2) Choose a domain that will let you know about the site which will let you know about the site which could be proxy. After choosing the domain, update the nameservers address at the domain provider to point at the chosen host. It would be pointed to the domain provider servers, by default. Nameservers updation could take up to maximum of 24 hours but it’s generally done within 15 minutes.
3) Now you need to obtain the script. Here you can choose from the free one or go for paid customized one. You can get the free one at PHProxy.
4) Now configure the hosting account for the perfect functions of the websites. Create a MySQL database at the back-end of your website from CPanel. This MySQL database will be used by PHProxy script. In order to complete the process, you need to remember the MySQL database name, username and password.
5) The downloaded script contains config.php. You should update config.php file in order to point to your domain and hosting server. You can edit the file in Notepad and you need to edit the following details:
Website Name
Website Address
Database Name
Database User Name
Database Password
6) You can use a FTP program or upload the script directly through CPanel to your hosting account. You can use FileZilla FTP or CuteFTP for FTP upload. That’s it, now you are done.
