Google Wave : worth of try

Google Wave is a new communication service introduced by Google INC.. "A wave is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more."



The service seems to combine Gmail and Google Docs into an interesting free-form workspace that could be used to write documents collaboratively, plan events, play games or discuss a recent news and many more.

Google defines the WAVE in simple two terms :

1.A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

2.A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Google gave away nearly 100,000 user invitations and finally after a wait of nearly 2weeks,i finally found myself lucky.


Google Wave has a lot many innovative features, but here are some few that i jotted down

- Real-time: In most instances, you can see what someone else is typing, character-by-character.

- Widget on web portals and blog : Waves can be embedded on any blog or website by meer as a plugin.

- Applications and Extensions: developers can build their own apps within waves.Rigt from Bots to Games.

- Open source: The Google Wave code will be open source, to foster innovation and adoption amongst developers.People can also join the developers forum by google. Try it guys,its real fun.

- Convinient Playback: You can playback any part of the wave to see what was said.Videos support also included.

- Drag-and-drop file sharing: No attachments; just drag your file and drop it inside Google Wave and everyone will have access to it. I initially used Sky drive for file sharing,i guess now i have an alternative.

- Easy Ping : It allows easy ping to any of the contacts within no time.

Spam Junk : well this is wat most of us must be aware of..lol
in my next post,i will go more deeper in google's Wave concepts. So do visit again.




For those who wish to have invitation from me : kindly post in the comment box and i will send them the invitations( Only first 5. Then others can call out for others.)


HAPPY WAVING..!!!

Hunter Soft Web Translator - Easy Way Switch to Multi- Language Reading

Sometimes i feel google translator consumes lot of time in UI. I jsut found a tool that does translation in very UI friendly fashion.

The name of the tool is Hunter soft Web Translator and its just 1.28 M.B for download.

You can translate whatever you can imagine, document, web contents, letters, chats, and emails and more.So far, Hunter soft web translator supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.



It Support Microsoft Word, Notepad, Word Pad, Adobe Acrobat, Outlook Express, Outlook, Internet Explorer and more.

A feature "Unicode Viewer" enables users to automatically download Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian fonts from Microsoft website, when necessary.

It also has a easy swap option for quick swap of languages to - from to from -to easiness. unlike in google translator,it involve time in selection of from -to and replacing it with to- from.



This web translator provides no easy means less than a browser. Just what it misses is the bookmark facility(And many more).but i thought bookmark facility would have been an important facility for daily readers.

This tool has a Save or print option for the translated text.

Multilingual user interface: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese.

It has native support for Windows 95/98SE/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 and now also for windows 7.


In reality,it integrates google translator service itself,but still i would rate it little higher on my list. (Off course keeping aside the multi languages support for google is much much more for google)

Block Attacks By Blocking Autorun File

If you recollect,some months back i had posted on Panda USB vaccine. Similarly i have come across another tool which i feel is better than Panda USA Vaccine.

Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available.

1. How does this File Look ?

Line 1: [autorun]
Line 2: open=autorun.exe
Line 3: icon=autorun.ico

Kindly Note that Line N ( N=1,2,3) is used just for simplification.

Line 2 Means that when started,autorun.exe file will get executed and Line 3 means the autorun file will have autorun.ico as its File Icon.

In reality autorun.inf files are more complex than this but for now,i am limiting myself to simple examples only.

2.What is Autorun Protector

Autorun Protector is a two way protection .Net application which was released in April this year,prevents PC from infecting with autorun worms and also protecting your removable device from being infected from other sources.



Since I said it is developed in .Net,it requires 2.0 Framework pre installed.Kindly note that it doesn't clean all the worms so i would suggest to use good antivirus to scan the PC to ensure maximum protection.

Autorun worm infects your PC through removable device such as USB Drive. It has a file called autorun.inf which contains code to run malicious program. If PC failed to block this autorun file,it can cause serious damage to the PC.




As mentioned earlier,it has 2 way protection i.e PC Protection & Device Protection. But there is also another feature "The MountPoints2" which is a registry key that contains cached information about every removable device. Clearing this key might solve the problem on opening drive problem issue.



One feature that i really appreciated in the new release was the mean to create own autorun.inf files. It can also fix the drive opening issues.

Fake Antivirus Tracking

Many of us know that these days too many antivirus are introduced and without knowing its actual contents and "what it does?".



Sometimes You visit a website and you get a warning message that is very convincing and looks like its coming from Windows telling you that you have a virus/spyware/Trojan/etc. Then it tempts you to click the button and ones you click it,it will auto install. Then is the worst part.It then downloads viruses to your computer and the rogue antivirus will find the virus.
