Fotobounce - Organize Photos.


Fotobounce, a free (but ad-supported) app is designed to help shake the dust and 
cobwebs off your digital photo collection, by organizing and helping you share your photos. Recently updated to version 3.1, it now offers more control over just how
you share those photos. Like earlier versions, this one offers some pretty nifty features, but also suffers from a few glitches.


Once installed, Fotobounce will find your photos in the locations to which you 
direct the app. The company says its organization features are "people-centric" 
and, as such.


The app's key feature is :-
* Face Recognition Technology. It's designed to learn to recognize the faces that
appear in your photos--with a little training, of course. It automatically finds 
faces in your photos, and you can tag people to identify them. Once you start 
tagging people, Fotobounce is supposed to learn their identities, and should begin 
identifying them for you.




Fotobounce allows you to share your photos in several different ways:-
*You can connect the app to your Facebook or Flickr accounts to upload your photos
or albums, and it will keep your tags intact. When you link Fotobounce to your 
Facebook account, it willimport a list of your friends and allow you to tag them 
directly in any photos in your Fotobounce library.


In addition, the app allows you to share photos directly with friends via a private 
peer-to-peer connection that the company likens to "Skype for photos." To do this, 
you send invitations to people you'd like to add as "Bouncers"; they, in turn, have
to install Fotobounce on their computers in order to see your photos.


Also new in version 3.1 is a feature called Fotomail. This lets you send photos from
your mobile device right to your Fotobounce account. It works by assigning you a 
specific Fotomail e-mail address, and is easy to use. It's a handy way to get the
full-resolution photos from your mobile device added to your photo library.

OSFClone self-booting disk cloning tool


OSFClone is a free, self-booting solution which enables you to create or clone exact raw disk 
images quickly and independent of the installed operating system. In addition to raw disk images, 
OSFClone also supports imaging drives to the open Advance Forensics Format (AFF). AFF is an 
open and extensible format to store disk images and associated metadata. An open standard 
enables investigators to quickly and efficiently use their preferred tools for drive analysis. After 
creating or cloning a disk image, you can mount the image with PassMark OSFMount before 
conducting analysis with PassMark OSForensics™.


OSFClone creates a forensic image of a disk, preserving any unused sectors, slack space, file 
fragmentation and undeleted file records from the original hard disk. Boot into OSFClone and create 
disk clones of FAT, NTFS and USB-connected drives! OSFClone can be booted from CD/DVD drives,
or from USB flash drives.


OSFClone can create disk images in the dc3dd format. The dc3dd format is ideal for computer forensics 
due to its increased level of reporting for progress and errors, and ability to hash files on-the-fly.


Verify that a disk clone is identical to the source drive, by using OSFClone to compare the MD5 or SHA1 
hash between the clone and the source drive. After image creation, you can choose from a range of 
compression options to reduce the size of the newly created image, increasing portability and saving 
disk space.



Use OSFClone to save forensic meta-data (such as case number, evidence number, examiner name, 
description and checksum) for cloned or created images.

Microsoft Safety Scanner



Microsoft has just released a program called Microsoft Safety Scanner, a free
on-demand 
virus scanner for the Windows operating system.The Microsoft 

Safety Scanner is a free 
downloadable security tool that provides on-demand 

scanning and helps remove viruses, 
spyware, and other malicious software.

 It works with your existing antivirus software.


Main task of that program is:-
To run a virus scan on a Windows system. The core difference to conventional antivirus 
software is the fact that it scans the PC but does not add protection to

the operating 
system at the same time.


Mostly use the on-demand scanner  to verify that their operating system is 
clean 
of 
viruses and other forms of malware.The best benefit of this approach 

is 
twofold that is:-


* First, they can run Microsoft Safety Scanner next to any installed 
antivirus 

or security software on the system. This is obviously better than having 
to 

uninstall one antivirus program to run another, as there are often incompatibilities 

or problems involved when running multiple virus scanners on a system.
*The second is the ability to scan the system for malicious software without 
thinking 
about configuration of the program, or making sure that it is up to date. 

The software is using virus information from Microsoft’s Malware Protection center.

The program can be started right after downloading or transferring it to a 
Windows PC.
Only the depths of the scan needs to be selected, everything

else is handled 
automatically by the application.


You can run a 1)Quick Scan  2)Full Scan  3)Custom Scan.
1). In quick scan will check the most likely areas on the system for malicious code 
like viruses, spyware or computer worms.
2). In full scan on the other hand will scan every single file plus the memory and the Registry.
3). In custom scan finally scans a user selected folder or drive.

It is not auto-updating and will automatically expire after ten days.Means you have
to be 
download every ten days a new to use it.This restriction  make the program unsuitable 
otherwise it is much better program than other.

Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview

Microsoft has released the first platform preview of the upcoming Internet Explorer 10 
(IE10)  browser. Looks like Microsoft learnt lessons from the success of Chrome and 
firefox .Now more keen to take on it and that might be the reason why we are seeing 
a platform preview of Internet Explorer 10 just weeks after Internet Explorer 9 final was 
released. IE10 is just under three weeks of development as of now and we already

Flexible Box Layout, CSS3 Gradients on background images, 3D Transforms and 
ES5 Strict mode) etc.Microsoft has said that it would update IE10 every 8-12 weeks.

The Internet Explorer Platform Preview Guide for Developers provides an early look at 
the developer features coming to the next version of Internet Explorer. By using the 
documentation and samples in this guide, web developers and designers can prepare

Internet Explorer Platform Preview is released periodically to give web developers, 
designers, and enthusiasts an advanced look at what’s to come in the next major 
release of Internet Explorer. It is not intended to be your daily browser, and in fact 
will not replace the version of Internet Explorer you have installed on your computer.

Check USB drive for errors


Portable flash memory storage devices like USB flash drives (pen drives) and SD cards are in increasing demand these days, owing to their simple usage and portability. This has also lead to foray of many fake devices resembling the actual ones. They even outdo the original in looks but it is while using it actually only that you would come to know it is fake. A good USB flash drive should both read and write the data. But the fake device would fail either in writing or reading data from the device.
But until now there is no way to detect these corrupted devices. However, there is a small freeware (Windows only) that checks for write/read errors in storage media like USB flash drives, memory cards, hard drives and network cards for errors.
Here a software is available to detect the errors.It is very easy to us,first you download the H2testw and then run H2testw.exe file.when you run the setup then a window is appears like this.Here you can click on the tab “Select Target” then select the drive which you want to check for errors.

Afterthat your memory will be shown below the “Data Volume”  in the “all available space” field.Now click on write+verify button then your usb check is on process.when check will be completed  then you can see your usb result.
After check if you have see the below result then your usb is without error.
After check if you have see the below result then your usb is with error.

Benchmark and Compare your browser performance

Ever wanted to check the performance of your browser or even more compare it with different browsers, I do. It makes a lot of difference when a browser can load different contents faster than the other. The web surfing goes smooth and with less lag as heavy codes gets dragged into the browser.
Peacekeeper  from futuremark is a free application to check your browser performance by doing multiple test phases and afterthis is will rank your browser according to test. The tests use JavaScript to test the browsers performance in graphics rendering, forms and navigation. It however doesn’t test the security or the W3 compatibility features of the browser. But graphics rendering, quick forms and navigation are mostly the things that make your browser experience faster.
Here the numbers  of the test it performs on your browser.
TEST 1 : Rendering
These tests measure your browser’s ability to render and modify specific HTML elements used in typical web pages.
Test  2 : Social networking
Social networking sites use JavaScript to provide navigation, forms and other features. These tests measure typical webpage functions, such as loading, sorting and searching for data.
Test  3 : Complex graphics
These tests use ‘Canvas’, a new web technology for drawing and manipulating graphics without external plug-ins. Canvas is not yet supported by all major browsers so the scores from these tests are not included in the overall Peacekeeper score.
Test  4 : Data Operations
Almost everything you see on a dynamic webpage uses JavaScript arrays. These tests measure your browser’s ability to add, remove and modify data stored in an array.
Test  5 : DOM Operations
DOM, or Document Object Model, is the standard API Javascript uses to create dynamic webpages. These tests emulate the methods used to create typical dynamic webpages.
Test 6 : Text parsing
These tests measure your browser’s performance in typical text manipulations such as using a profanity filter for chats, browser detection and form validation.
Take this on a test drive and see how your browser perform. I think they will give a good choice on which browser to choose from for better browsing experience.
It takes total 5minutes to complete all the above 6test.Now by this test you know which browser is more compatible to use.
Here the test result of my pc for Chrome 10.0.648.45.This type you can check another browser.only open the browser which you want to go for test and click the link below or copy the link and paste on that browser afterthat click on Benchmark your browser then your browser test will be started.
