create-rss-banner

RSS feeds have become extremely popular over the past couple of years. Previously it was blogs which popularized RSS feeds, but now all major News websites, social networking websites and even forums have started providing RSS feeds. For many people RSS feed readers like Google Reader, Netvibe etc have become convenient ways of getting the latest news at one place. Hence I find it annoying when some websites that offer constantly updated content in a “feed-friendly” format, but neglect to offer this option, either deliberately or just being lethargic. In addition to that, some websites do not offer multiple RSS feeds for each category/author. Technically Personal is one of them. Initially I had disabled multiple feeds for some stupid reason, but now I do not remember how I made that change. This is where some free online services come to the rescue. They allow anyone to create an RSS feed of any website. Some are very simple while others are more advanced, so depending on your level of expertise, you are sure to find a tool that can help you get the custom RSS feed you are seeking. Note: If you like to get...
Internet Privacy has become one of the hottest topics around the web. Here at TechPP.com, you must have seen hell lot of articles dealing with Online Privacy. And today, yet again I would be discussing about Browser Privacy and other related stuff. Some of us install Internet Security software like PC Tools Privacy Guardian to protect our systems against various attacks including the privacy breaches. But how many people understand or atleast care to understand Internet privacy issues? Here is where START PANIC pitches in. Start Panic tries to raise public awareness for Internet privacy issues on their website. They have implemented a script that will gather information about previously used websites from the user’s web browser. The script works on almost all major browsers like IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari. start-panic-internet-privacy

I Clear the Web Browser History frequently, hence I am safe

How many of you agreed with me? I was partially wrong. Start Panic script can actually collect information even if the user clears his web browser’s history, cookies and cache regularly. This is because, the current browsing session is recorded normally in all web browsers which usually have options to automatically clear...

eset-nod32-antivirus

ESET Nod32 Antivirus is possibly the Best Antivirus I have ever used. I do not consider myself to be an expert to judge all the antivirus software out there, but from my personal experience I have found this to be the most suitable one for my requirement. It is much lighter compared to other Antivirus software, with hardly any bloatware. It consumes very less memory and does its job of securing the PC without any issue.
The strength and beauty of this software is its light footprint, relatively fast scanning and superior ThreatSense Technology that detects malicious software before it has been reported. Its interface is intuitive and easy to use for the average home user, but can be configured and tweaked by the advanced user. The one-user, one-year package is priced at $39.99

Standout Features of ESET Nod 32 Antivirus

* Effective antivirus protection (98%) * Light footprint on your computer (34M) * Excellent scanning speed * Excellent proactive protection * Is one of the few companies still offering products for legacy O/S's such as DOS and Windows 95, Windows 98, etc.

google-torrent-search

Stan Schroeder from Mashable published an article yesterday saying Google has become a Torrent search engine.
"....is that the entertainment industry is suing something that’s not much different from a search engine. Using Google’s Custom Search Engine, someone has created a Google based torrent search engine"
He then goes on to say
Is Google, then, the next in line to be sued for copyright infringement, or assisting in making copyright content available? If it weren’t too big to be sued, it probably would be.
I have no issues in supporting Pirate bay and other similar sites. But why bring in Google and link it with piracy? Comparing Torrent Search engines like Pirate Bay and mininova with Google is atrocious. Pirate Bay and Mininova does nothing but collect all the trackers / torrents and index them. In addition to indexing, they have their own trackers which people use to download illegal content. But what is Google doing? They just index all the pages on the internet regardless of what those pages contain.

Conclusion

I am a fan of Mashable, but I expect them to write sensibly rather than creating articles with sensational headlines. Being a leading Technology...
