Highly Secure 2 Step Verification in Gmail

Posted by Saboor Adem Wednesday, March 9, 2011 0 comments

Good News for all the Gmail users. Google has launched the 2-step verification....!!!Most of us are used to entrusting our information to a password, but we know that some of you are looking for something stronger. As google announced to its Google Apps customers a few months ago, they have developed an advanced security feature called 2-step verification that makes your Google Account significantly more secure by helping to verify that you're the real owner of your account.

2-step verification requires two independent factors for authentication, much like you might see on your banking website: your password, plus a code obtained using your phone. you can see a new link on your Account Settings page that looks like this:

just click on "Using 2-step verification" and follow as it says to do....After setting up the 2-step verification whenever you try to log in with your user id and password then google will send you a code into your phone's(the phone number you submitted at the time of setting up the 2-step verification) inbox . Just put that code into the box showing on your computer screen(this screen will show after you submit your user id and password on the login page). Now you will get access to your mail.
Its called 2-step verification as it firstly takes your password then send a code on your phone and asks to enter that code there. after doing this you can only access your mail.

USB Hard Drive-Western Digital Passport

Posted by Saboor Adem Saturday, December 18, 2010 0 comments

Western Digital is most famous for its stupendously good Raptor line of performance hard drives that are generally considered to be the fastest consumer hard drives on the planet. However, it will come as no surprise that it also produces a vast range of other hard drive based storage solutions. And, today I'm looking at probably the cutest one of the lot, a diddy little shiny black portable hard drive known as the Passport.
Just like the 250GB Seagate portable hard drive we looked at a while ago, the Passport is based on a 2.5in notebook hard drive that uses a single USB connection for power and data connection. By doing away with a mains power adapter, these drives are small enough to be slipped into a jacket pocket or a small bag and taken with you anywhere. The Passport is available in 60GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB versions so there's plenty of options if you're on a tight budget.
Some computers aren't able to provide sufficient power over a single USB connection so the use of a special two-to-one USB cable is required. Unfortunately WD doesn't include one of these with the drive so you have to order one separately if needed. You do get a conveniently sized 30cm standard USB cable as well as a quick installation guide, though.
Western Digital clearly has its finger on the design pulse as the Passport is one superb looking device. The glossy black top surface looks as good as ever - piano black certainly seems to be the flavour of the day with Samsung's current line-up of notebooks and the majority of new TVs also sporting this finish - and the matt finish of the bottom creates a perfect contrast. No matter what the fashion industry tries to tell us, nothing will ever truly be the new black.
The perfect shininess of the top is only interrupted by a subtle etched WD logo in its centre and a small blue ring on one of the sides. When the drive is powered up the ring glows a deep shade of blue and flashes a lighter brighter shade as the drive is accessed. Stylish and subtle seems to be the aim of the game and the Passport is playing a blinder.

On its underside the Passport has four little rubber feet that help prevent the drive from sliding around and consequently prevents it picking up too many scratches. However, while the drive may be protected while it sits on your desk, it isn't likely to hold up to the abuses of a portable life.

Xperia X10 vs iPhone 3GS

Posted by Saboor Adem Friday, October 1, 2010 0 comments

iPhone 3GS certainly is the most popular and hottest phone out there is, and with Sony Ericsson set to launch their Android based Xperia X10 in February next year, stage is all set for a yet another battle between an Android set with iPhone. We were obviously excited when Sony Ericsson officially unveiled the specs for Xperia X10, and so we just couldn’t resist, but to perform a head-to-head comparison between Xperia X10 and its contemporary, the iPhone 3GS. So here it is, a comparison chart which attempts to reveal the winner among the two high profile handsets.

As you can clearly see from the comparison chart above, it really drills down to what the end-user wants from his or her phone. If you want a phone with high quality camera, then Xperia X10 is the answer since it boasts of 8.1 megapixels autofocus camera. On the other hand, one clear advantage that iPhone has over Xperia X10 is its huge number of apps offering, which is a big attraction for most users. But when it comes to sheer hardware power, Xperia X10 comes out as a clear winner since it is powered by the monstrous Snapdragon 1 GHz Processor. So it really comes down to what you want from your phone and which platform are you more comfortable with. If you are already sold into the Apple eco-system, then surely iPhone 3GS is the way to go.

Microsoft has introduced high definition web camera

Posted by Saboor Adem Saturday, September 18, 2010 0 comments

There are a few webcams on the market today that offer a widescreen view. This is typically becoming more normal as most television and computer screens are widescreen. The field of view offered by a widescreen picture captures so much more than the alternative. Another major move in almost every aspect of video production now is the move to HD. Microsoft is the first to offer a low-cost webcam with both widescreen and HD capability. The LifeCam Cinema can produce video with a resolution up to 720p. While this is a great move for High Definition recorded video, most programs for video chat over the web don't offer the option to stream in High Definition. For now, this isn't a major setback, as a very top of the line computer is required on both ends, with a high speed internet connection, to achieve any sort of meaningful HD video chat experience. With the release of the LifeCam Cinema, however, I'm positive we are very close to an HD revolution in video chat as well.
