Forget Chromebooks: Chrome OS is Coming to Windows

Posted by Unknown Senin, 28 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

Google didn’t announce any shiny new Chromebooks at Google I/O. Instead, they highlighted their two big “platforms” — Chrome and Android. Whether you’re using Windows, Linux, or Mac, Google will be bringing the Chrome OS experience to you.

Chrome has always been Google’s vision of the browser-as-operating-system. They’re about to take it to the next level, using Chrome to provide apps that run outside the browser on desktops and laptops. Google wants to slowly turn your Windows laptop into a Chromebook.
Introducing Packaged Apps

If you have looked in the Chrome Web Store, you’ll know that most current Chrome “apps” are links to websites. For example, the Netflix app is just a link to Netflix, and the Evernote app is a link to Evernote’s website. Install an app, and you’ll get a large icon for it on your new tab page, but that’s about it.

However, Google is about to change the definition of an “app.” This change hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet, but it’s currently on Chrome’s developer channel. Everything currently in the Chrome Web Store will move to the new “Websites” category. The main “Apps” section will only contain new packaged apps.

A packaged app is a web app put into an offline package containing HTML, JS, and other web technologies — but no Flash content. Packaged apps will run entirely offline by default and will sync with the cloud. Packaged apps will even run in their own windows, outside of the browser.

Chrome as a Platform on Your OS

When you install a packaged app, Chrome will offer to display a Chrome OS-like “Chrome App Launcher” on your Windows taskbar. (This works similarly on Mac and Linux, but is currently in development.) This launcher will display your installed packaged apps and allow you to quickly launch them. When you launch one, it will appear in its own window on your desktop, complete with its own taskbar entry.

This acts as a sort of Chrome-only Start menu — Microsoft has removed their Start menu from your Windows taskbar and Chrome wants to take its place. The Chrome Web Store can evolve to function as a sort of app store for cross-platform, offline-enabled web apps that run on every PC operating system.

To clarify the difference between packaged apps and “old” website apps, a shortcut icon will be placed over all the old apps that are just shortcuts to websites.

Example Packaged Apps

You can actually install these packaged apps on the current stable version of Chrome today, assuming you have direct links to the apps — they won’t appear in searches yet. Current packaged apps include an offline text editor with syntax highlighting, a Cut the Rope Game, theAny.DO to-do app, Google Keep note-taking app, and more. These apps all function entirely offline and can sync when you go online. They run in their own and can support touch input, so they could work on a touch-enabled Chromebook or just in Chrome on a touch-enabled Windows laptop.

Use enough packaged apps and your Windows desktop will start to look an awful lot like a Chrome OS system. Packaged apps can use all of Chrome’s advanced browser features, from NaCL for running native code to WebGL for 3D graphics.

Chromebooks in 10 Years

Google is happy to keep selling Chromebooks for schools, businesses, and as second, third, or even fourth devices for people that want a simple web-browsing gadget to play with. But they’re not trying to position the Chromebook against Windows and Mac laptops for everyone — not yet. There’s a reason the Chromebook Pixel’s tagline is “For What’s Next.”

Google wants you to start using packaged apps in preference to desktop and Modern apps. Developers will have an incentive to create these packaged apps because they’ll work on every operating system and they can be created with web technologies — and unlike Microsoft’s Modern apps, they can integrate with the traditional Windows desktop workflow and taskbar.

This gives Chrome users a path for gradually switching to packaged apps that will work on Chrome OS. Google won’t need to care if you’re using a Chromebook — if you’re using a Windows computer and use mostly Chrome packaged apps, they’ll be happy.

As people switch to more and more packaged apps on Windows and Mac, a Chromebook will eventually start to make more sense — why not get a Chromebook once you start using Chrome packaged apps exclusively on your Windows or Mac laptop, anyway? A Chromebook is much more simple, so it’s a no-brainer if you only use packaged apps.

You’ll find packaged apps appearing as the only “Apps” in the Chrome Web Store as soon as this feature reaches Chrome’s stable channel. The websites section will remain, providing a way of discovering web apps.

How to Repair, Restore, or Reinstall Grub 2 with a Linux Live CD or USB

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Grub 2 typically gets overridden when you install Windows or another Operating System. To make Linux control the boot process, you need Reinstall (Repair/Restore) Grub using a Linux Live CD.

Warning:

Using the sudo command, especially from a Live CD can do serious damage to your system. Read all instructions and confirm you understand before executing any commands. When pasting into the Terminal, useCtrl+Shift+V, NOT Ctrl+V.

Terminal Commands:

Mount the partition your Linux Installation is on. If you are not sure which it is, launch GParted (included in the Live CD) and find out. It is usually a EXT4 Partition. Replace the XY with the drive letter, and partition number, for example: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt.

sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt

Now bind the directories that grub needs access to to detect other operating systems, like so:

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev && sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts && sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc && sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys

Now we jump into that using chroot.

sudo chroot /mnt

Now install, check, and update grub.

This time you only need to add the drive letter (usually a) to replace X, for example: grub-install /dev/sda, grub-install –recheck /dev/sda.

grub-install /dev/sdX

grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX

update-grub

Now grub is back, all that is left is to exit the chrooted system and unmount everything.

exit && sudo umount /mnt/dev && sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts && sudo umount /mnt/proc && sudo umount /mnt/sys && sudo umount /mnt

Shut down and turn your computer back on, and you will be met with the default Grub2 screen.

You may want to update grub or re-install burg however you like it.

Congratulations, you have just Repaired/Restored/Reinstalled Grub 2 with a Linux Live CD!

How To Speed Up your Internet Speed and Fix DNS Errors

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

"This webpage is not available" , This is the phrase that most of us hate to see while browsing , The\webpage would't load and you will see a message from browser "DNS look up failed" if you are facing this problem more frequently , even if you have a decent net speed then there is need to change your DNS settings. Before going to the solution for this DNS problem , Let us know what DNS actually means

What Is DNS

DNS is the acronym for Domain Name System , our computers communicate to the web via DNS servers, by default our ISP's (Internet Service Providers) fix DNS servers for their users , sometimes these servers may fail and you start seeing the error message "DNS look up failed" even if you have the connection established.

For example if you type www.google.com in your browser or go to 74.125.239.41 you will end up at google home page , what happens is our DNS servers resolve the url google.com into I.P 74.125.239.41 , if your DNS server fails you can't resolve the url and you will end up with error "DNS look up failed" ,

HOW TO FIX DNS FAILURE

You can ask your ISP to rectify the problem , or you can shift your DNS to a third party address ,

Even the Big boss of internet Google has introduced public DNS , what we have to do is to just change the DNS address of our existing connection .Before changing yor DNS address first ensure that your ISP supports Google public DNS and you can also enjoy the features of Good speed , and increased security feature .

For Windows Users:

Go the Control Panel.
Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, . Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example: To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.

Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. If there are any DNS server IP addresses listed there, write them down for future reference, and remove them from this window.

Click OK. Select Use the following DNS server addresses. If there are any IP addresses listed in the Preferred DNS server or Alternate DNS server, write them down for future reference. Replace those addresses with the IP addresses of the Google DNS servers:

For IPv4: 8.8.8.8 and/or 8.8.4.4.

Restart the connection you selected in . Test that your setup is working correctly; see Testing your new settings below.

Test your new DNS :

Open command prompt and paste the command shown below

nslookup -debug www.example.com. 8.8.8.8

If you get the result as shown above then the DNS change is successful if not then get back to your original settings.

Advantages of Google Public DNS :

Speed up your browsing experience
Improve your security.
Get the results you expect with absolutely no redirection.

If you have any doubts regrading the DNS change , fell free to comment below

Cool JavaScript Tricks: Edit Websites in Browser (Live)

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Imagine a world where you are a God and have ultimate control on what happens and more importantly, how it happens. Seems too good a dream. Now it has come true, at least for the online world.

Using this trick, you will be able to edit any webpage live in your browser as if it was a Wiki and change the details according to your wish. Yes, you read that right. You can edit Google or even Facebook for that matter right in your browser and that too without requiring any technical know-how or getting deep into hacking and cracking.

Here is an example picture demonstrating the Google Homepage edited by me to say that I own Google.

This is just an example. You can use it for anything like showing wrong traffic stats or for fooling people by showing that someone said something about them on Facebook or Twitter. It depends only on your creativity. But I would advise you to stay ethical and use it for entertainment purposes only.
(Mozilla Firefox does not support this. If you use Firefox, you can use the bookmarklets given at the end of this post. If you use Google Chrome and the code does not seem to work, precede it with "javascript:" without quotes.)

To use this trick, all you need to do is just copy the code given below and paste it in your address bar after you have opened the website you wish to edit. And start editing.

javascript:document.body.contentEditable%20=%20'true';%20document.designMode='on';%20void%200

You can capture a screenshot by pressing the Print Screen key or by using the Snipping Tool if you use Windows 7 or Windows Vista. If you wish to again make the website non-editable to give a more authentic look, copy and paste the code given below in the address bar after you are done editing (does not work in Firefox).

javascript:document.body.contentEditable%20=%20'false';%20document.designMode='off';%20void%200

Or, alternatively you can use the following bookmarklets by dragging them to your Bookmarks bar.

1. Edit this Website
2. Done Editing

The editing that you do will however be temporary as it is not server-sided. You can also save the modified website through your browser by File>Save. This works on all common web browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.

How to Run Android Apps in your PC

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 12 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

Cell phones today have become an everyday thing among the people from different walks of life. The reason that caused such proliferation of cellular phones is the existence of a vast amount of addictive applications and games that can be played on these cell phones. These apps and games significantly further the usability of a mobile phone and hence the most popular cell phones out there in the market, including but not limited to the Apple’s iPhone and other phones loaded with Android OS is leading with lots of apps with technological advancements that have the ability to be more productive.

The first apps to go viral at an unprecedented pace were the apps with calling and texting, which are capable of reducing the burden on your wallet by helping you stay in touch with your dear ones. Such apps are rightly called “Over The Top” or OTT apps, some examples are WeChat, WhatsApp, Viber, Line, Rebtel etc. The important differences in these apps are that only a few of these apps help you make phone calls (Rebtel and Viber), the others are only text messaging based.

In my case, a dilemma that occupies me is why should I take these bulky cellular phones just to enjoy these apps, especially when I am next to a computer? Sadly, less than a handful of the app developing companies have looked at creating their apps for a computer natively. Switching between phone and PC is time consuming since you need to stop whatever you need to work on your computer and again use your phone in order to use these applications. Viber for PC is the first and foremost step in this direction, but it lacks a lot.

Companies other than the ones that deal with app development have put a lot of efforts to make users capable of using Android applications on their laptops or computers. Their efforts have seen the bright light now, as it is possible to use Android apps on computers or laptops. Eureka! This solution is a side product of a method to allow application developers to test their phone apps during development of their computers before submitting them for review by the stores such as the Windows’ app store, Apple’s iTunes or the Google Play store. That is to say, a phone app developer could, if needed, try his/her Android phone app on personal machines using an emulator, test the app, and subsequently submit it for review. This is the same method we will use to enjoy Android apps on PC.

Today we are going to discuss how can a novice user employ this information to use her favorite phone app on a laptop without the costly affair of a cell phone. This technique, of course, will apply equally even when you want to download Android games on your personal computer.

Steps to Get Android Games/Apps on your PC

Download an Android emulator called Bluestacks. There is also Youwave, but it won’t work with ARM based apps.
Install Bluestacks and run it. Note: You might run into graphics errors during installation, however you should be able to find a solution to most of the Bluestacks errors here.
On the home page of Bluestacks, click on the search button and type in the name of the app or the game you want.
Select one of the many app stores and install the app.
Go back to the home page and you should see the app listed there, you should be able to double click the app and run it.

I hope you find this tutorial helpful. Feel free to leave a comment if you are stuck anywhere or need specific instructions for your favorite game or app.

How To: Get the fastest Internet connection ever

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 09 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

It has always been a geek’s dream to have the fastest Internet connection ever, and we bet you would desire the same too. Almost all those who are hooked on to the Internet to surf, download or entertain themselves would definitely be owning an broadband connection at home. It could be via a telecom service provider, your local cable guy or 4G wireless Internet providers. Some even own 3G USB Internet dongles for their work and entertainment while being outdoors. Most smartphone users today also opt for 3G Internet services on their phones and tablets. All these connections can be individually used on your PCs, laptops and handhelds efficiently.

Download, set up and activate the utility

Though you can connect them all together on a single PC and access the Internet, the Internet speed will be only drawn from the last connected network, leaving the others unused. For instance, you have four different Internet connection sources A, B, C and D. Your PC will access Internet from A when it is connected. The moment you initiate a connection from B, the PC will divert all network connections via B, leaving A unused. The same happens when C is initiated; A and B are unused and it applies the same to D. The operating system is not smart enough and does not know that there are multiple Internet networks. It needs help, but is unable to do so. In Linux, it is possible to do so by tweaking the kernel, adding some modules and running some scripts that will tell the operating system about the various active Internet connections and balance the network load accordingly. On Windows, it is not possible and a third-party utility is required.

Single connection speed

Clubbing all your available Internet connections into one single mammoth pipeline was not possible until Connectify, a well known software development company which developed Connectify hotspot, a virtual software router for Windows, stepped in. It kickstarted a campaign to help collect funds for the project and achieved it. It finally came up with Connectify Dispatch, a utility to connect to multiple Internet connections for combined speed and reliability. Using this utility, you can now connect all your available Internet connections – be it from a DSL modem, a wired cable connection, a wireless router, a tethered mobile phone or a USB Internet dongle – into a single mega broadband connection. Read ahead to know how you can do it in four simple steps.

All adapters active and associated with Dispatch

Step 1: Download Connectify Dispatch and install it. It is not a free utility and there are no demo versions available. The utility costs Rs 5,114 for a lifetime license, which includes the HotSpot Pro utility as a bundle. Optionally, you can opt for a one year license for Rs 4,023, but we recommend the lifetime offer, which is reasonably cheaper than this one. Once installed, activate the utility and you can see it running, but not active, in the system tray.

System tray showing adapters activated and deactivated

Speed using a single Internet connection only

All Internet connections combined as a single large bandwidth

Step 2: individually set up and test all your Internet connections on the PC. Install the USB dongles, tethered phone, wireless network, Ethernet cable Internet, or whatever sources you may have. Ensure they are working and all connected to the PC.

Using only three connections

Step 3: Double-click on the Connectify icon in the system tray to pull up the Dispatch user interface. Here you see the Dispatch utility, which is not started as yet. There is a graph available to know the bandwidth of all your available connection’s, and the overall bandwidth speed. Also, you will see the number of active adapters (Internet connections) in the lower half. Other icons available are Hotspot (to start the Wi-Fi hotspot) and Settings (to tweak a few changes).

Step 4: Connect, enable or start all your Internet connections. Once all are active, hit the ‘Start Dispatch’ button on the Dispatch window and you are ready to cruise the Internet highway by utilising all the Internet connections simultaneously. The Dispatch utility will automatically combine all the Internet connections together, analyse each one of them and route the Internet traffic accordingly whenever and wherever necessary. You can check the download speeds by downloading some large file, video or torrent. You will definitely notice a difference.

Assign individual applications to select particular Internet routes

How we tested

1. Internet connection A – Tikona Wireless 4G broadband via Ethernet – 2 Mbps speed.

2. Internet connection B – Tata Photon Plus 3G USB internet dongle – Speeds up to 3.1 Mbps.

3. Internet connection C – Tata Photon Plus 3G USB internet dongle – Speeds up to 3.1 Mbps.

4. Internet connection D – Tata Photon Plus 3G USB internet dongle – Speeds up to 3.1 Mbps.

Set bandwidth limitations for each Internet connection

The setup was done on a Lenovo laptop and was conducted inside a house in the suburbs of Mumbai. The testing was done at night around 1 AM when we could obtain maximum speeds and minimum interferences from any other networks in the surroundings. As we all know, the USB 3G Internet dongles claim maximum speeds of up to 3.1 Mbps, but this entirely depends from area to area. In our case, the maximum Internet speeds we acquired was between 800 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps at any given time. The Tikona connection was stable at around 2 Mbps. In all, estimating the USB dongles gave us around 1.2 Mbps speeds and the Tikona Wireless giving us around 2 Mbps speeds, clubbing them together, the speeds we acquired was a little more than 6 Mbps.

Override the default DNS

Testing and using the Connectify Dispatch for a few hours, we definitely state that the utility works and can benefit those who are looking for higher broadband speeds. BitTorrent is designed to make use of many network sockets simultaneously, which makes it a perfect application for Connectivity Dispatch.

Select adapters to act as Primary connections or stay as backups

Other options possible with Dispatch

You can further tweak the Dispatch utility to benefit your work. You can set up individual applications to use particular Internet connections to balance the load manually too. In this way, for example, you can download multiple files from Hotfile, Rapidshare, Mediafire and other similar file hosting websites that have IP-based time limitations to download the next file. It can also benefit those who want to download particular files faster than others, such as torrents can be on a faster bandwidth while smaller files can use the slower Internet connections.

Start Hotspot with a combined speed and share it to other devices

You can also use Dispatch to balance the load as per your will. You can set it to keep particular Internet connections as standby or backup connections in case any one of them fails. Other options available are to use DNS servers other than the ISP provides you. You can use Google or OpenDNS to your advantage. You can also meter individual connections to limit the Internet usage so that you don't exceed the download limits according to your plans. This can be done on daily, weekly or monthly rules according to your download plans. Lastly, you can set Dispatch to draw the bandwidth from the available connections that have the best latency and reliability.

An Android phone using Hotspot over Wi-Fi with full combined speed

Finally, if you have bought the Dispatch + Hotspot utility together (Rs 5,114), you can start up HotSpot and share this combined mega-Internet pipeline to all other computers and devices on the network wirelessly or using a router.

Connectify Dispatch is a very powerful utility that can benefit small and large business environments too. Take for example, a large organisation that provides most of the employees with a USB Internet dongle for use when they are travelling. When they are not travelling, the Internet connection is wasted as they are lying unused and the office Internet connection is used at work. By using these dongles on a PC installed with Dispatch, the entire bandwidth can come in handy for the entire office to have a faster Internet connection. Other areas where Dispatch can come in very handy is for video chat, online high-definition and 3D video entertainment, distributed or cloud gaming, online backups and data sync servers, remote desktop sharing, and a few others.

How To: Download apps from Google Play directly to your PC

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

We have been testing and reviewing a lot of Android phones and tablets in the recent past, and we definitely need to keep a few apps for bench-marking and other such information. In order to do the same, we initially need to set up wireless networking, punch in the credentials of the Google account, then search for the needed apps and download them. Downloading apps from the Google Play Store requires an account and hence the entire exercise. This is not only time consuming, but also painfully slow at times when the Internet connection is down or weak. In order to get things in the fast lane, we use an app to back up the apps and save them on the PC. On the other hand, as we all know, most apps keep being updated by their developers and tracking the updates is not possible if we do not have the Google account setup on the Android device. This means doing the same thing all over again and hitting the 'Update App' button every time we have to test a new device.

Real APK Leecher

Many others who constantly do ROM installations and updates on their Android devices would also like to keep a backup of the apps. Installing apps directly from the SD card not only saves downloading time, but also helps you save money by using the Internet on 3G connections. You can save apps to the SD card using third-party apps such as File Expert, Titanium Backup, App Monster and other such utilities, but they only save the currently installed apps. So then, what about new updates for the apps? Updating the app is only possible after installing it and then running the Play Store to check for any updates.

Set up the utility

In order to overcome this obstacle, we found a Windows-based utility on the XDA forums, developed by the ‘Codeimba.com’ team from Vietnam, called ‘Real APK Leecher’. The software is a JAVA-based utility, which connects to the Internet and the Google Play Store online. The utility needs to be filled with the details of your Google account and the Device ID of your phone in the options. Once the necessary details are filled, it can be used to search and download apps from the Play Store. You can also specify a folder where you have existing apps stored so that they can be scanned and checked for any updates. The apps and updates can be downloaded to a folder of your choice. Read ahead for a walk through on how to get the app and set it up on your PC.

Get your Device ID

Download the Real APK Leecher utility from here. Download the archived ZIP file and unzip the contacts to a folder on your desktop. Now open the folder and run the file ‘Real APK Leecher.exe’. Since you would be running the utility for the first time, the options (Configuration window) will be shown. In this window, you will need to give in the details of your valid Google email address, the password to the email account and the Device ID. The device ID will be available on your phone itself; you need to extract it using a simple code on the phone dialler. Start the dialler on your phone and punch in the below mentioned code:

*#*#8255#*#*

The details of this procedure are also provided in the same window where these details need to be fed in the utility. If you are using a tablet, the phone dialler will not be available. You can download an app called ‘DeviceID’ to get the details of your tablet. These settings need to be done only once, unless you change the phone, tablet or Google account. Further, you have the choice of showing the number of records between 10 to 30 apps on the page while searching for apps. Next, choose the language and country, leave the SIM Operator Number as empty (default) and enter the location to save the downloaded apps along with the location for the folder where your apps are already downloaded and need updates. After these settings are done, you can click on the Save button and the utility will start.

Search for the app you want to download

Set the download location

Download the app

Note: If you make any mistake in the settings, especially with the email address, password and device ID, the utility will not work as it will give you an error in logging into your account. Double-check your settings if you get any errors.

Now that the utility has started, you can search for the app using its vendor name, package name or custom name in the search bar. Depending on the choice you made earlier, the number of searched apps will be listed in the window below. To download the app, simply click on it once to highlight the entire field, then right-click on the line and select the download option.

Note: The searched apps will have both free and paid versions showing up and you can only download free versions. If the app is a paid version, you will not be able to download it, as there are no options for payment through this utility. You can hit the Google Play link to go to the Play Store and do the necessary payments there. If you have already paid for the app earlier, then you can download the app without this extra step.

Check for app updates on your PC

To check for updates for your already downloaded apps, you can right-click on any app in the list and click on the ‘Scan Existing Folder’ option. The utility will then ask you one more time if you want to scan the folder you previously entered in the options or any other folder on your PC. Click on OK and the utility will scan every app in the specified folder and list the entire content of that folder. Each app will be listed with icons, which will specify if there is an update available for any of the apps. The icon with the exclamatory mark in a triangle is the one with updates available. Next, right-click on the app and click on the download option. Apps that are not available on the Play Store or are pirated will show up with a question mark, whereas the ones with the green check mark are apps that have no updates.

Existing app updates are shown with exclamatory symbols

Existing app updates are shown with exclamatory mark symbols

You can also use this utility to download apps that are not available in your country by changing the SIM Operator Number in the options field. Apps that have carrier restrictions can be faked to get the apps downloaded. To do this on your phone itself, you need to have a rooted phone and market enabler app. Using this utility, you can do it without any hitch. The SIM Operator Number (SON) for various mobile carriers around the world can be availed from here. The SON is a combination of the MCC and MNC numbers. SON = MCC + MNC. For example, Vodafone IN Mumbai has MMC number 404 and MNC number 20, which makes the SON 40420. Enter this number in the SON field in the options window.
