Extract & Zip more...

It's easy for Windows users to forget that WinZip isn't the only file-compression utility in the world. Like its better-known competitors, the free 7-Zip unpacks a host of archive formats, including ZIP, TAR, GZ, and its own 7z format. Unlike WinZip, though, it can create TAR and GZ archives, which are commonly used on Unix and Linux systems.

The program's ability to shrink files was stunning. In our tests, 7z archives were up to 40 percent smaller then their ZIP equivalents, although compression did take longer, and the highest compression settings can hog system resources. Advanced options include the ability to create solid and self-extracting archives, and to adjust the compression level and password protection. The program also has a command line module. Though the main interface is overly simple and looks like it was designed for Windows 95, it's not hard to use and fairly self-explanatory. The context menu options, which include "testing" an archive, indicate that 7-Zip should be taken seriously.

The main features of 7-Zip

    * High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression
    * Supported formats:
          o Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR

    * For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
    * Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
    * Self-extracting capability for 7z format
    * Integration with Windows Shell
    * Powerful File Manager
    * Powerful command line version
    * Plugin for FAR Manager
    * Localizations for 74 languages

Forget about your downloads...

Forget about your downloads...

We all have our own interests and hobbies, some are interested in music, some in films, some in softwares, and so on...
We have to download the files we like, as we will not get all things from others. Sometimes we are not interested in sitting front of or PC also.
Here the use of Free Download Manager(FDM) comes.
This software has more speed than the ordinary browsers. It also helps in resuming broken downloads.
FDM accelerates downloads by splitting files into sections and then downloading them simultaneously. As a result download speed increases up to 600%, or even more! FDM can also resume broken downloads so you needn`t start downloading from the beginning after casual interruption.
This download utility is surprisingly attractive and full-featured for a freeware product, and its operation couldn't be more straightforward. To download a file, just click a link in your browser or drag it onto the program's tiny, semitransparent window.

In our comparison tests, Free Download Manager beat out Opera's download manager 85Kbps to 53Kbps. Its automation features also are very good. Like other managers, it can automatically dial a modem, start a download, or shut down the PC. Unlike many of them, it also can change the number of connections depending on download speed, or disconnect and shut down the computer if a file is unavailable.

If you want to boost your download speed for free, this utility is certainly worth a try.

Download FDM ver.3.0 build 852 (6,4 Mb, setup) here.

You can also download FDM Lite version
FDM Lite version requires less size and lacks some functions (BitTorrent support, video conversion and upload manager) that can be downloaded and installed as plugins later.

Make your internet searches fast.....

Make your internet searches fast.....

Everyone like to search in internet in maximum speed, but some times the low bandwidth of the net will not allow us to do so.
As Mozilla firefox is the best and commonly used browser, i like to to share some trics to increase the browsing speed in net.
Some add-ons are used for increasing the search speed in firefox.
Commonly used add-ons for this purpose are 'image block' & 'adblock plus'

Image block
Image Block adds a toggle button that conditionally blocks/allows loading of images on webpages. Blocking images results in faster browsing, especially helpful on handheld devices or slower connections like GSM/GPRS/EDGE dial-up etc.

Download whatever you want....

BitTorrent (often abbreviated to 'BT') is a protocol that allows you to download files quickly and efficiently. It is a peer to peer protocol, which means you download and upload to other people downloading the same file. BitTorrent is often used for distribution of very large files, very popular files and files available for free, as it is a cheap, fast, efficient way to distribute files to users like you.

µTorrent is a BitTorrent client. A 'client' in this case is a computer program that follows the rules of a protocol. For example, HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used to download web pages and other content - like this page - and your HTTP client (or browser) is the program you use to get those web pages. Some popular browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari.

Just as there are multiple web browsers, there are multiple BitTorrent clients, and µTorrent is one such BT client.

TeamViewer

TeamViewer is an excellent screen-sharing and file-transfer app that can be used to facilitate business collaborations, remotely access a another computer. Along with being free for noncorporate use, it gives users precisely the tools they need to share screens securely, send files with a minimum of hassle, control access rights, and even flip which user has control.

The options available while you're in control work smoothly. You can maximize the pane that the other computer's screen is visible in, as well as utilize several smart options from a drop-down toolbar in the center of the window. A big X lets you close the connection, while the Actions button lets you switch whose in control, disable remote input, and reboot remotely. The View menu hides options to adjust the screen resolution, the optimization toward speed or quality, and control multiple-monitor displays. New features that works just as effortlessly as the old ones include VoIP audio and video conferencing, and integrated teleconferencing. These features push TeamViewer a notch above the rest because they will work without requiring firewall reconfiguration.

When you log in, you're given an access code and a password. Sharing those allows your computer to be controlled by the level you set it to: remote support, presentation, file transfer, or VPN. The TeamViewer servers remember which computers you've connected to, so reconnecting to previously shared computers happens faster. TeamViewer also has a Web-based version, for remote connecting to home from public computer. Even the installation process is impressive. Users can toggle admin rights, can opt out of running at startup, and can opt into installing the TeamViewer VPN driver for more secure screen sharing. TeamViewer makes screensharing and file-sharing as fluid and unobtrusive as it should be, and is a must-have for the home or remote office user.



TeamViewer comes with many other features including:

File transfer which allows you and your partner to share files across your VPN.

Online status displays to find out when your family or colleagues are online.

Browser based access, so you do not need to install the client to control a remote computer.

Nokia S40...

The Series 40 platform is the world's most widely used mobile device platform. Series 40 devices range from mass-market devices that provide many mobile consumers with their first experience of the internet to devices for specific market segments, such as music or fashion.

For developers, the promise made by the Series 40 platform is that of reach. Whether working with Java™ technology, Adobe Flash Lite, web technology, or mobile media content, the Series 40 platform offers a mass-market opportunity across the globe. And as the Series 40 platform evolves, increasing support for multiple runtimes is bridging the divide between mobile and desktop product development.

For Java developers, there is MIDP and CLDC technology, with an array of JSRs that provide additional location, communication, messaging, media, and graphics capabilities.

Media developers can deliver web, messaging, and Adobe Flash Lite content, as well as streaming video and audio, using the latest industry standards. The user interface of Series 40 devices can also be personalised with themes, animated screen savers, and wallpaper.

All this is supported by OMA DRM to protect developers' intellectual property.

The Series 40 is a fast-evolving mobile platform with industry-leading global sales. It creates unprecedented opportunities for developers to add value and reap rewards.

Java™ technology provides developers with a robust cross-platform development tool capable of addressing the most demanding enterprise and consumer application requirements.

The Series 40 platform provides developers with an wide array of additional APIs, these APIs enable developers to create applications that offer rich functionality with an engaging user experience. For example, APIs are available to access location information, secure data traffic, and manipulate media on many Series 40 devices. Details of the Java APIs in the various editions and feature packs of the Series 40 platform are found in the wiki article Java ME API support on Nokia devices.

The Java implementation on the Series 40 platform shares many common features with the implementation on Symbian. This allows developers to easily extend the reach of their applications to the entire platform range.

Adobe Flash Lite enables developers to deliver rich multimedia applications and content to Series 40 devices.

With support for Flash Lite 3, developers can create rich stand-alone applications and content, as well as animated screen savers and animated 'organic' wallpaper. Using fscommand2, Flash Lite content can access and control various phone parameters. Flash Lite applications can also initiate various actions, such as starting a phone call, allowing applications to take advantage of Series 40 devices' mobile connectivity.

Carbide.ui Series 40 Theme Edition is a tool for creating visual themes for devices built on the Series 40 platform. Using Carbide.ui, designers can create comprehensive themes that consumers will find visually rich and engaging.

Carbide.ui enables developers to link in their chosen Adobe Flash-, vector-, bitmap-, and audio-editing software so that theme content can be edited easily. The Referenced Colors tool improves colour manipulation by linking any colour used in a theme to a centrally defined colour. When a referenced colour is changed, all linked colours change as well. Working with complex themes is supported with workflow tools and a library function. Once a theme is complete, settings for packaging and OMA DRM protection are required once, after which packaging, protection, and transfer of the theme to a device is a single step.
Series 40 is a software platform and application user interface (UI) software on Nokia's broad range of mid tier mobile devices. It is the world's most widely used mobile device platform and found in hundreds of millions of devices
It provides communication applications such as telephone, messaging, email client with POP3 and IMAP4 capabilities and Web browser; media applications such as camera, video recorder, music/video player and FM radio; and phonebook and other personal information management (PIM) applications such as calendar and tasks.
The integrated web browser can access most web content through the service provider's XHTML/HTML gateway. The latest version of Series 40, called Series 40 6th Edition, introduced a new browser based on the WebKit open source components WebCore and JavaScriptCore. The new browser delivers support for HTML 4.01, CSS2, JavaScript 1.5, and Ajax.
Support for SyncML synchronization with external services of the address book, calendar and notes is present. However with many S40 phones, these synchronization settings must be sent via an OTA text message.
Series 40 is an embedded software platform that is open for software development via standard or de-facto content and application development technologies. It supports Java MIDlets, i.e. Java MIDP and CLDC technology, which provide location, communication, messaging, media, and graphics capabilities.[3] S40 also supports Flash Lite applications.
Series 40 uses a simpler operating system than the higher end S60 (which is based on the multi-tasking Symbian OS). Because S40 devices do not support true multi-tasking and do not have a native code API for third parties, its user interface may appear to be more responsive and faster than other Nokia platforms
The first Series 40 devices (introduced in 2002) had only 128x128 pixel large displays. Over the years, the S40 UI has evolved from a low resolution, black-and-white UI to a high resolution color UI with an enhanced graphical look. The third generation of Series 40 that became available in 2005 introduced support for devices with resolutions as high as QVGA (240x320).[6] It is possible to customize the look-and-feel of the UI via comprehensive themes
Some of the Nokia Series 40 devices are:
