Advantages and Disadvantages of External hard disk drives
External drives are arguably the biggest growth area in data storage of recent times. They offer the possibility of transferring all user’s valuable data, documents, photographs, music and movies. Alternatively they can provide a destination for a user to backup their valued files, in case the data held on their internal storage is lost, or the internal storage fails. But are they lulling users into a false sense of security?
They are being offered with ever increasing capacity and at ever decreasing prices. Many are advertised using ‘pence per Gigabyte’ prices as a lure. However a few notes of caution arise from the recent spate of external hard drives being sent for Data Recovery.

This trick is based on the concept of HTTP Pipelining. To utilize HTTP Pipelining,what you have to do is to just enable the HTTP pipelining in Firefox because it is disabled by default in Firefox version 3(or in greater version, It may not be supported in older versions, if so then first upgrade your firefox to 4).
Open Firefox Browser and type about:config in address Bar and hit enter.
Now type network.http.pipelining in Filter box.
Change the value field of network.http.pipelining, from False to True (By Double Clicking on it).
Change the value field of network.http.pipelining.maxrequests from 4 to 8(or more).
You may or may not want to change the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests,actually it is for servers that use SSL.If you want then you can change it to true or you can also leave it untouched.
Note: Without HTTP Pipelining ,HTTP requests are sent out in successive order i.e one after another but If we use HTTP Pipelining then the request can be sent to the server more quickly that’s why the page loading time will decrease.Therefore the browsing speed will increase and surfing will become faster.

As technology innovation marches forward; new kinds of devices, media formats, and large inexpensive storage are converging. They require significantly more bus bandwidth to maintain the interactive experience that users expect. In addition, user applications demand a higher performance connection between the PC and these increasingly sophisticated peripherals.
USB 3.0 addresses this need by adding an even higher transfer rate to match these new usage and demands.
USB continues to be the answer to connectivity for PC, Consumer Electronics, and Mobile architectures. It is a fast, bidirectional, low-cost, dynamically attachable interface, that is consistent with the requirements of the PC platforms of today and tomorrow.
SuperSpeed USB brings significant performance enhancements to the ubiquitous USB standard, while remaining compatible with the billions of USB enabled devices currently deployed in the market. SuperSpeed USB will deliver 10x the data transfer rate of Hi-Speed USB, as well as improved power efficiency.
Advantages of USB 3.0:
SuperSpeed USB has a 5 Gbps signaling rate offering 10x performance increase over Hi-Speed USB.
SuperSpeed USB is a Sync-N-Go technology that minimizes user wait-time.
SuperSpeed USB will provide Optimized PowerEfficiency. No device polling and lower active and idle power requirements.
SuperSpeed USB is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. Devices interoperate with USB 2.0 platforms. Hosts support USB 2.0 legacy devices.
Encrypt a file or folder: When you encrypt a file or folder, you are converting it to a format that can't be read by others. A file encryption key is added to files or folders that you choose to encrypt. This key is needed to read the file. Windows XP Professional makes the encryption and decryption process easy
Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s mind blowing. It enables “GodMode,” a term devised by the fans of this trick, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
Follow these simple steps to enable the God Mode:
1. Create a new folder.
2.Rename the folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (You can change the “GodMode” text to anything you want, but the following period and code number are essential).
3.The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:
4.The window shows nearly 50 sections with quick links to configuration options. Strictly speaking, it’snot a God Mode since all the options are available elsewhere. It’s more akin to an “all tasks” list — but you may find it easier than stumbling through Windows numerous screens and panels.
Note:
The trick appears to work on 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit , However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder. Sadly, Windows XP does not have this feature.
Whenever a program crashes or you experience some power outage, your computer may create errors on its hard disk. Over time, the errors can slow down your computer. Luckily, the Windows operating system includes a Disk Check program to check and clean any errors on your computer and to help it running smoothly.
Installing Windows XP can take up to two hours. To make the process more manageable, it has been broken up into several sections. When you are ready, follow the below steps to install Windows XP.
When your computer doesn't start or starts making noises that you have never heard before it can be troubling and leave you with no idea what to do to get your computer working again. If you relax and work through the problem systematically, you can often resolve the problem in a short time. More important than fixing the computer fast is to find out what the problem is.
Here's how you can isolate the issue, in this case:
Internet Explorer-8 is one of the most popular web Browsers, but it is still vulnerable to errors in windows. Some times you find Internet Explorer running slow, frequently crashing and not responding when it's required.
You may want to uninstall and Re-install Internet Explorer but you can consider these troubleshooting steps before un-installing the internet explorer.
For more complete control of de-fragmentation in Windows 7, you can use the command-line de-fragmentation tool, Defrag.exe, from an elevated command prompt.
