My Phone Explorer (Sony Ericsson Sync)

I know there are alot of Sync Softwares out there but if you never tried MyPhoneExplorer yet, then your missing alot.. I have been using this program for about 3 years now, and because of this software, I have been using Sony Ericsson Phones ever since.. It does everything plus alittle bit more in very compact package (3.7mb)..

In this article i'll review the Main functions of My Phone Explorer..

First off, Contacts..

Its alot easier cleaning up those names, number, email, address, etc. in a PC rather than the mini smallish phone screen, Believe me!.. Better yet, you can sync your phone contacts to your outlook or even you Gmail account.. Or if not, maybe just save a back up in case of emergency..

In the Calls menu, you just can see your recent call log, nothing much here..

Next the Organizer,

You could again sync your organizer to your Gmail account or to a file.. One nice thing here is that you get to see the entire calendar on a bigger screen making it alot more easier to organize.. Your notes and alarm are also editable here..

Then, my favorite, the Messaging department.. We Filipinos are fond of texting.. In fact, we use it as like our Instant Messengers.. But like everyone else, i know its kindda tiring to write messages on a phone.. But with this software you could read messages and even reply to them using your keyboard..

Theres also a file manager to view files on stored on the Phone and on the Memory card.. And yes, you can open them.. They can also be sync'd on the PC but i dont do that coz it kindda takes a long time to sync a 1gb memcard on bluetooth connection..

As i said this software is complete.. It even has the option to see the phones temp, battery's charge, voltage, IMIE, provider, singal, etc..

Oh, and also the option to see the memory status of every thing on the Phone.. Sigh..

When im at home, i never touch my phone anymore.. I just connect my Phone to my PC via bluetooth, and everything I need is in MyPhoneExplorer..

Sincere thanks to the developer Franz Josef for makin such a great software.. You could download the latest MyPhoneExplorer at his site at http://www.fjsoft.at/

Danke schön!.. :p

Torrent

I know alot of people who are complete noobs in downloading but want to use torrent to download.. Im not going to explain what a torrent is, but i will explain how to use it..

First download a torrent client..

I suggest using utorrent..

Get it at http://utorrent.com and install it..

I assume u can do that on your own..

Once your done, head to a torrent catalog website

I suggest http://www.mininova.org

Once in mininova, you would see a search bar on top.. Use that to search what ever you want to download.. 

Note: in the results page

Seeds - is the number of uploaders

Leechers - is the numbers of downloaders

Pick which file you wanna download.. Files with high number of seeds download faster.. When you click the file you want to download, a next page will appear with the words "download this torrent".. Just click it and you would download a small torrent file.. Open it and it will run in utorrent.. Then just click the "ok" button and the download will begin..

Once the download in utorrent is done, your downloaded file will be saved in the downloads folder, located in your My documents..

Thats it.. Hope that helps..

By the way, once your done, downloading files, Please seed them before deleting them..

Share with others what others shared with you..

Cheers..

Lemon Screen - Face Login

Have you ever seen those movies where in, the guy sits on his PC and it automatically logs in?.. Well here a cool way of logging in to your PC, with out even touching it.. Well here comes lemon screen..

Lemon Screen (formerly banana screen) uses your face as a log in password.. First you must enroll/create a face model of you for identification.. Just make sure your face is recognized properly, sometimes, lighting conditions may change you face model.. There's a bar on the right to show how well your face is detected.. Anyway once a good model is taken, you could press (alt+L)  to lock the screen or you could also set it to lock when inactive for a certain time..  Once the computer has been locked, your computer will monitor all the faces that appear on your camera.. Once it matches your face it will immediately log in..

This way your smile will be your log in password.. One of the features i liked was it automatically logs out if ever i forget to log out.. But the best thing about this program is that it is FREE!.. Now go try it for your self..

Enjoy..

Cheers :p

ZoomIt - a screen zoomer

I've been using linux for quite sometime, and i really love it.. The only thing that kindda sucked was most of the nice softwares were on windows.. One thing i really missed in linux is the compiz effects, specifically the one that zooms in the screen in real time.. That was really essential for people like me who kindda have near sighted eyes.. I am currently using a small netbook, ASUS EEE1000h which just has a 10.2 inch screen.. A few weeks ago, i noticed i reqularly stick my face on the screen just to read what was written on it.. Thats when i remembered the compiz stuff that i had in my other linux mint box.. I kept on tryin to search for an app for windows that can zoom in the screen just like the one in linux's compiz.. I tried alot of software, and the closest one i found  was ZoomIt, which is actually given to us by microsoft.. I dont remember the exact link i got it from, but its quite easy to find in google.. The program is quite small, you can keep it running at all times and the best thing about it is that its free..

When you run the program, you'll see its icon at the system tray indicating that  its now running.. To zoom in you just have to press +<1> then use your mouse to pan the screen and your mouse scroll to zoom in further..  ZoomIt also has an annotate feature which i dont really use so i didnt bother for the controls anymore..

The only downside with this program is that unlike Linux's Compiz, its does not run in realtime.. In linux for example, you can watch a video and zoom in on it and you can still see the video moving.. But with ZoomIt, it just takes like a picture of the screen, and thats all that you can zoom in on.. It does not move..

Well i guess thats just about it.. Hope you find the app useful too..

Over Clocking EEE 1000h

i have seen in a lot of forums, people wanting to over clocking their Atom netbooks.. Well there are lots of ways of overclocking.. But the safest way i know of is thru the tiny app called EEECTL.. I say its safe coz i havent heard of any broken netbook because of this app.. If you wanna try it, do it at your own risk.. I am not resposible for any broken laptop.. Im just showing you how to do it..

For the Asus 700 series

For the Asus 900

For the Asus 901

For the Asus 1000h series
http://rapidshare.com/files/138704786/eeectl.1000h.zip


Once you've downloaded the file for your netbook, extract the contents to any folder. Then just simply run the program eeectl.exe..
note: (Make sure you close the program "super hybrid engine" first if it is running before running the eeectl.exe)

Once EEECTL is running you would see its icon in the system tray.. Its icon shows your CPU temperature.. Just right click the icon and choose what CPU speed you wanna use..

The higher the speed the more consumption of battery..
The less speed CPU speed the longer your battery lasts..

Remember to plug in your netbook to an outlet to reach maximum efficiency..

Theres a big possiblity that your netbook might get stuck or hung up if you reach high CPU speeds, but just simply removing the power cord and battery for a few minutes and switching it back on restores your computer..

As far as i know, correct me if im wrong, with my EEE 1000h I only reach the maximum speed of 1890mhz, coz i only have 1gb ram.. I think others reach 2ghz because they upgraded their's to 2gb..

Asus EEE 1000H

Hey guys I finally bought my very own netbook.. Its an Asus EEE 1000h Netbook..

10.2 inch LCD display
CPU - Intel Atom 1.6Ghz
RAM - 1GB
Hard Disk - 80GB
Windows XP





It has built in wifi, webcam, bluetooth, mic of course speakers.. Actually it has dolby Speakers.. Well it was kindda written on the sticker on the laptop.. Oh i mean netbook..

Anyway, I have been playing with this netbook thing for quite a while now.. So far its doesnt feel like a netbook, since its quite as fast and responsive as my old Vaio Laptop (VGN-FS550) which i handed over to my cuzin.. I felt sad giving away that laptop though, coz it was kindda like 3 times more expensive than this netbook.. Although this netbook seems to be like 3 times lighter than that old thing.. I even carry my netbook to school everyday in my backpack, and people didnt notice that i was carrying a real computer in my small backpack.. ahahaha..

About the performance of this littlle toy, i manage to play The Sims 2 plus a few expansion packs.. I amazes me, coz i didnt think it could handle such a heavy game.. I also tried GTA San Andreas on it and it was actually playable.. I'm planning to change my RAM to 2Gb when i have enough money, but the 1Gb is quite acceptable for now..

The CPU of the EEE 1000h was an intel Atom Processor clocked at 1.6ghz, but it could be overclocked to 1.7Ghz by using a pre installed Asus App called "Super Hybrid Engine".. But if your like me you could put the pedal to the metal and squeeze a little bit more juice out of this thing.. I got a 1890MHZ using a 3rd party app called EEECTL..

The only problem i had at first was the screen size looked kindda small to me.. But since ive been using it for quite a while now, it seems to be normal and quite acceptable for everyday use.. When i'm at home I just connect it to my 20 inch LCD, and viola.. I got a full fledged desktop PC..

cheers :p

Microsoft Cloud

Windows upcoming OS aka Microsoft Cloud coming really soon!.. Btw, this is a separate project from "Windows 7" which is is the successor of Windows Vista..

The world is shifting to towards WEB OS/Clouds.. That means everything is entirely being shifted towards the WEB.. Everything is now online like photos, videos, documents, spreadsheets, etc.. Google is one of the pioneers in this field with their Google Docs.. Google has a full office suite online which can be opened anywhere.. All you need is an internet browser in your computer then google provides the entire office suite and data online which is kindda heavy and slow for low class internet connections.. 

Microsoft however is moving with a different game plan with Microsoft Cloud.. The users will be having the most of software offline and only the data will be sent online.. Therefore reducing the required internet transfers and increasing speed and stability since most is already saved offline..

The problem however will be that you will be needing Microsoft Cloud to open your documents and stuff unlike google, all you will be needing is a browser.. But I think microsoft will have a solution for this, like they always do.. If not, well say hello to linux..

Cheers!..
