Top List of Web applications
2007-06-25 16:18:00 According to Wikipedia " In software engineering, a Web application or webapp is an application that is accessed via web over a network such as the Internet or an intranet." " Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of a client, sometimes called a thin client. The ability to update and maintain Web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity. Web applications are used to implement Webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis, discussion boards, Weblogs, MMORPGs and many other functions."So Now you Know What Actually Webapps are.

Lock the Windows Sidebar
2007-06-21 12:50:00 While the Windows Sidebar is a nice piece of functional eye candy for home users, it can be an administrator's nightmare in a business environment. Having users installing an endless amount of gadgets off of the internet can at the very least waste work time and bandwidth and a worse case scenario would be a security breach. You can limit or eliminate the Windows Sidebar and keep control of what, if any, gadgets are able to run on the users' machines.1. Click the Start Button.2. Click All Programs and select Accessories.3. Click Run.4. Input gpedit.msc and click OK.5. When the UAC prompt appears, click Continue.6. In the left pane, select Computer Configuration and double-click Administrative Templates.7. Double-click Windows Components.8. Select Windows Sidebar.9. In the right pane, select one of the four settings to limit usage of the Windows Sidebar. To enable a setting, double-click the setting and select the Enabled radio button and click OK.

Killer adsense Tip
2007-06-16 09:42:00 There?s no doubt that images attract the eye, so why not use them to your advantage! I?ve seen a number of websites that have placed a small image close to their AdSense ads to draw the visitor?s eye to the ad and hopefully, encourage them to click on the ad. There are a number of ways that you can do this, and which technique you choose really depends on the style of your site (in a future post we?ll look in details at this trick and show you how different ads respond to different images). The idea is that you place an ad close to the ad that you want to draw attention to, but not make the image part of the ad (because that would totally go against the Google AdSense terms and conditions. This works if you get the right image (again, relevant to your site and the subject) and you position it well. To get the right combination, there?s no doubt that you?ll need to test one style against another here and figure out which works best for your site. Also, once you?ve found one im...

Ultimate Guide to Photo Shop
2007-06-14 14:20:00 Ever wanted to learn how to use Adobe Photo shop, but had no idea where to start? Most Adobe Photoshop tutorials (including my own) are for people who are already familiar with Adobe Photoshop. This tutorial goes right back to the DAWN OF TIME! :) ...and is designed for the Adobe Photoshop beginner. This basic, thirty-minute tutorial is not a comprehensive instruction manual. It only gives you the very basic features you need to know to start using Adobe Photoshop. From there, you'll quickly discover most of the other features of the program. The images in this tutorial are from Adobe Photoshop 7.0, but they're very similar to those from earlier versions of Photoshop. Let's get the tutorial started...

Surf even offline with google gears
2007-06-13 14:27:00 Google in a press release states that Gears ?marks an important step in the evolution of web applications because it addresses a major user concern: availability of data and applications when there?s no Internet connection available, or when a connection is slow or unreliable.? They go on to say that making the browser environment more powerful is increasingly important (Google snatched up a couple of Firefox developers ? this makes even more sense in the light of this announcement). You can install this for a couple of operating systems, though Google warns that this is an early-access developer?s release (which would be called Alpha, but Google calls it Beta). Like many recent announcements, this one too had been foreshadowed in Google?s internal documents which leaked last year. By moving web applications into the offline sector, Google Inc is moving into Microsoft Office competition territory even more clearly. Gears is also free & open source, so Google is hoping to get the c... More About: Google , Surf , Offline , Tips , Google Gears

Time to forget PHOTOSHOP !
2007-06-06 14:37:00 Now time to get Paintshop Pro XWhat's that? Don't know what Corel PaintShop Pro X is? Well, it's nearest competitor is Adobe Photosho p - and in fact, most of the people who use it consider it vastly superior to Photoshop.Generally speaking, it's a bit easier to use and the interface is nicer. It can do just about everything Photoshop can - and has lots of features PS doesn't have! It seems like it's also "faster" to work with than Photoshop. Undos are done almost instantly, the program loads fast, and it really responds quickly to your commands. It also makes it easy to adjust the different layers on your image - much more "point-and-click" then Photoshop.As for ease of use, it really has that covered! There are things it does with a single mouse click that take me a half-dozen steps to do in Photoshop! And the results are stunning!When it comes to imaging software, this is really one of the big boys. No matter what you want to do with a photo, this will cover it. We're not j...

Stephen Colbert makes play for iPhone at D5
2007-06-02 07:06:00 For most of us, having Steve Jobs' direct attention is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (well, actually, it's a never-in-a-lifetime event for the overwhelming majority of the populace, but stay with us here). Step hen Colbert got his this week, introducing Viacom CEO Phillipe Dauman via video clip at D5. Jobs was, of course, a big player at D, and Colbert did his best to take advantage by suggesting that a gratis iPhone in his pocket -- followed by a mention on his show -- might be just the trick to spurring sales (notice that he's ogling an imaginary iPhone in this screen grab). We suspect the effort was for naught; iPhones are as scarce now as they've ever been, never mind the fact that the media has generated pretty much all the buzz Apple can handle free of charge. Might we suggest working a company that's a little less stingy with prerelease units, Stephen?read more | digg storyFor more logon to http://tipzntrikz.blogspot.com More About: Iphone , Play , Stephen Colbert

Increse Volume of iPod
2007-04-25 11:33:00 With many external devices, the standard iPod volume is not loud enough. Here are the tricks that you can use to increase the output volume.Two major ways exist for increasing the iPod volume.There are advantages and risks to each way.First, you can increase the volume of the song through iTunes: - Open iTunes. - Select Library. - Select a song or songs. (Ctrl+A for all.) - Right click and select Get Info. (If a prompted to edit multiple items, select Yes) - Navigate to Volume Adjustment at the bottom. - Move the arrow upward toward +100% - Click OK. - Sync your iPod.This is an easy way to increase the volume of an individual song or multiple songs. However, this will frequently increase distortion. This makes the song "hotter" but doesn't actually increase the volume coming out of the iPod.Most software that you can download that will increase your iPod volume works through this matter as well.The one piece of software that works well is goP...

Using Digital Camera
2007-04-25 11:13:00 If you're going to take occasional snapshots, work on family album projects, or build a personal website, you'll probably be happy with a low resolution, entry-level digital camera. On the other hand, if you want to make really big prints (beyond 8 x 10), you'll want a model with more manual controls and a higher megapixel count.Basic Point-and-ShootDigi tal Camera Entry-level digital cameras are a great solution for those who plan to share small images of medium quality and/or those who want a starter camera to help them get the hang of digital photography. These have limited manual features and a limited image resolution of usually less than 3 megapixels.Advanced Point & ShootDigital Camera 2If you like more control over your photography, then you'll want a more advanced model with features like manual shooting modes, LCD, resolution of 3-5 megapixels, better lens quality, optical zoom and data ports.Digital SLRDigital Camera 3In the high-end digital camera category, you'll fin...

Online Buying Tips
2007-04-22 11:22:00 The following tips can help you navigate the world of online shopping and enjoy minimal hassles at the same time. 1. Understand how PayPal works. When you open a PayPal account, you authorize PayPal to take money out of your bank account or charge online purchases to your credit card. This can be a nice service if you feel uneasy about sharing your credit-card information with a wide variety of online merchants. Merchants never see your personal information; they just receive money from PayPal, an eBay company. 2. Decide how you want to pay. PayPal?s default maneuver is to withdraw money straight from your bank account rather than charge purchases to your credit card. If you want to pay with your credit card, you must remember to adjust the payment setting by clicking the ?More Funding Options? link before you pay.3. It?s better to use your credit card. That way you?ll be able to dispute charges and potentially get them reversed if anything goes awry. Such disputes will be much hard... More About: Buying , Tips , Online , Line
Camcorder Buying Tips
2007-04-22 11:19:00 Question: Digital Camcorder s are much cheaper in US than in UK, India or Singapore. However, the problem is that PAL is the standard playback format in these countries while cameras available in USA are only NTSC compatible.Can we still buy a MiniDV video camera (NTSC) in the US and later use it to record, edit or play videos in India (PAL) on TV or the DVD player ?Answer: First some boring but essential theory - The difference between PAL and NTSC is in terms of image resolution and frame rates. NTSC records at 29.97 fps while PAL records video at 25 fps. The standard sample size for NTSC is 720x480 while PAL mode has a resolution of 720x576.For precisely the above reasons, you won't see any camcorders that can record in both NTSC and PAL formats. Most digital camcorders available in the US or Japan are NTSC compatible while PAL system is the video standard for video cameras in Europe, Australia and Asia [including India].Now here are some answers to the most common questions that...
