When we read or search books at
Google Books then we found that it provides an easy way to search books and magazines that have been scanned by Google but there is a problem with that, the books and magazines can be viewed online but there is no direct way to download the whole book at the same time though it is possible to save the single page that is being displayed to the local computer but that would mean that it is available in html format with an extra folder for additional elements which is not really handy.
That can be very frustrating for user to save page by page foe downloading a whole book but now there is a better alternative for this.There is a software program
Google Books Downloader that can be used to download parts or entire books in pdf format. The process requires some manual work on part of the user. Books and magazines are identified by an unique ID which is displayed in the address bar. That unique ID has to be copied and pasted into the software. Everything else is done automatically by the software. The program will scan all pages of the selected book or magazine and display all pages in its interface.
Each page can be selected for download separately which is useful if only selected parts of the book or magazine should be downloaded. The other option available is to download the full book or magazine right away to the local computer.

USB has been very significant invention in computer industry.It has changed a lot about devices connect to each other or to computer.This time we are talking about USB 3.0, which is expected to be in our hands only by early 2010. USB 2.0 has a theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps and can provide power. USB 3.0 cable is thicker than the USB 2.0 cable as it contains six wires rather than two. In this post you will find basic details about what you have to know about USO 3.0.
By the time we get the device in our hands we would have waited almost 10 years. According to the USB implementers forum there were 2 billion USB 2.0 devices shipped in 2006 (one for every three people in the world), and the install base was 6 billion (almost one for every person in the world).
USB 3.0 specs suggest a maximum speeed of 5Gbps, 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The new version of USB is also capable to work in full duplex mode, full duplex is - it can upload and download simultaneously. [USB 2.0 is only half duplex]
USB 3.0 features an intelegent power management system. It could detect a device is not in working state and can reduce the amount of power it will send to the device. This directly increases the battery life. A welcome move for Laptop users.
USB 3.0’s new architecture will still use more CPU time ? I really dont have an answer to it.
Now come the problem, we have to wait long for Hardware manufacturers to build this into the system for us to use it. Thats not an easy move. [USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are not compatible devices, you need new hardware]
On a pesonal note I have never seen USB 2.0 deliver the speed it has promised. So I really dont know how much to rely on the claims made about USB 3.0
Having said all this here is the comparison about the speeds of different USB’s
Transfer of a 25GB HD movie:
* USB 1.0 - 9.3 hours
* USB 2.0 - 13.9 minutes
* USB 3.0 - 70 seconds
USB 3.0 is expected to hit the market only by 2010. So when will our device makers start using the same in their hardwares ? My best guess would be by 2012 and not all makes will direcly adopt to USB 3.0 so fast.

Lots of broadband users regularly checks their broadband speed on internet sites. Among these broadband speed checking sites speedtest.net is mostly used,and based on its data the top countries with internet access based on the highest download speed are two asian countries i.e. South Korea and Japan. Before, Japan held the first position but it seems now Korea take over the place. These two countries do have only small difference. Even compared to the United States (U.S.) that have the most use on internet, Korea’s speed broadband is three times higher.
Here are top ten countries with the highest speed internet in the world:
1. South Korea 17187 kb/s

In last many years after windows xp Microsoft has not seen much success in operating system segment but this time it looks that windows 7 is going to do the trick for them. In December last year they put beta of windows 7 for public download with a limit of 2.5 million users for the public beta, but later offered unlimited downloads due to popular demand, only to then see its servers wilt under the pressure.
And now the software giant put out a reminder late on Monday that those who wanted to play around with the beta, AKA build 7000, of its upcoming operating system had nearly run out of time to, at least officially, grab the download via Microsoft’s website. However, those who began downloading the beta but haven’t yet completed the process were granted a little extension – they have until 9am PST on 12 February to finish the download.
Though internet users can still download windows 7 beta from torrents like piratebay .

In my
last post i talked about the activation keys, activation patch and download links of windows 7.This time we have windows 7 version of the best anti virus software program available for windows 7 beta.Kaspersky has released a first technical preview version of the upcoming Kaspersky Anti-virus solution[
Download ] for Windows 7 .This is going to benefit all the windows 7 beta users which will be able to use Kaspersky anti virus on their windows 7 beta versions.
This technical preview includes a highly effective heuristic analyzer. The heuristic analyzer detects and blocks as yet unknown malicious programs. If a program signature is not included in the antivirus databases, i.e., the malicious program is unknown, the heuristic analyzer will safely launch the program in an isolated virtual environment, analyze the program’s actions and conclude with a high degree of probability whether it is potentially harmful before it is launched in a live environment.

If you did a Google search between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST this morning, you likely saw that the message “This site may harm your computer” accompanied each and every search result as seen in the above image even if the result include Google's site itself.This is was unbelievable Google was marking or flagging the whole internet as malware.And when you click on the message it was taking people to a support page from Google,it pointed to StopBadware.org.
This error lasts approximately 40 minutes so most of users might not have seen this and remain unaffected by this but such kind of error on worlds biggest search engine can't be neglected.when Google tried to find out what was the reason the they found that a single slash ( / ) was the main culprit.This single slash forced Google to flag each and every site displayed in its result as Malware. Here is Google's official statement about this.
If you did a Google search between 6:30 a.m. PST and 7:25 a.m. PST this morning, you likely saw that the message “This site may harm your computer” accompanied each and every search result. This was clearly an error, and we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to our users.
What happened? Very simply, human error. Google flags search results with the message “This site may harm your computer” if the site is known to install malicious software in the background or otherwise surreptitiously. We do this to protect our users against visiting sites that could harm their computers. We work with a non-profit called StopBadware.org to get our list of URLs. StopBadware carefully researches each consumer complaint to decide fairly whether that URL belongs on the list. Since each case needs to be individually researched, this list is maintained by humans, not algorithms.
We periodically receive updates to that list and received one such update to release on the site this morning. Unfortunately (and here’s the human error), the URL of ‘/’ was mistakenly checked in as a value to the file and ‘/’ expands to all URLs. Fortunately, our on-call site reliability team found the problem quickly and reverted the file. Since we push these updates in a staggered and rolling fashion, the errors began appearing between 6:27 a.m. and 6:40 a.m. and began disappearing between 7:10 and 7:25 a.m., so the duration of the problem for any particular user was approximately 40 minutes.
Thanks to our team for their quick work in finding this. And again, our apologies to any of you who were inconvenienced this morning, and to site owners whose pages were incorrectly labelled. We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again.
Thanks for your understanding.
