Download Google Chrome OS Torrent

Raju — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:36:44 +0000

Earlier today we spoke about Google announcing the release of their much hyped Chrome OS source code and provided some exclusive Google Chrome OS Screenshots to get an idea on how it looks.

If you consider yourself as a Geek God and want to try out the Chrome OS yourself, you can download Google Chrome OS through torrents. The Chrome OS image from torrents can be run using VirtualBox from Sun.

Download Google Chrome OS Torrents

Download Google Chrome OS Torrent via TPB. GDGT also have uploaded a Google OS build themselves.

Once you are done downloading the torrent/GDGT build, read the step-by-step guide prepared by TechCrunch to install Chrome OS on your PC/Mac/Linux via the VirtualBox.

The default login to Chrome OS is your Google username and password. But my sincere suggestion is to create a dummy username on Google just for testing out the Chrome OS, so that you nullify any risk coming via torrents.

Download Android Voip App by Fring

Raju — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:27:53 +0000

This is a great news for all Android fans and owners. You can now make Voip calls using Skype for Free using Fring App for Android phones. Fring is a popular application that lets anyone make free Skype, Google Talk, MSN, or SIP calls from any phone and now they have launched an app for Android as well. This is the first major VOIP app for Android.

Skype for Android + IM + much more = Fring

Making free Skype calls from a Wi-Fi connection on your handset is a pretty neat feature in itself, but Fring aims to be a universal call and chat coordinator. It works just as expected, over EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.

The app lets users make free calls, live chat, contact availability status, file share and more with friends on fring and several social services including Skype, MSN, GoogleTalk, ICQ, Twitter, Yahoo! and AIM. Centralized from one integrated contact list, fringsters also make calls to regular phone lines via Skype-Out and hundreds of popular SIP services over 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi internet connection.

Twitter is also integrated, and it looks like the fring app works with any version of Android.

Download Fring Voip App for Android phones

Fring for Android can be downloaded via Android Market, or directly to your phone via Fring’s WAP site at m.fring.com

Along with Android, Fring is available for iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Symbian phones.

Download Google Chrome OS Source Code

Raju — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:27:27 +0000

Google just hosted an event giving insight into its much hyped Google Chrome OS, an overview of the technology and launch plans for its launch next year. It has been speculated that the internet giant would release its Chrome OS Code as open-source code and this in fact seems to be the case. The source code for Google Chrome OS is available for download now and is ready to be explored. A Twitter update from Google employee Matt Cutts detailed where you can download the source code.

Suggested Read:

Chrome OS is an entirely new approach to computing. The average computer user spends most of his or her time on the Internet, so Google wants to cut out the middleman: the traditional operating system, which sits between a computer’s hardware and a Web browser.

Chrome OS is a operating system that is a Web browser – or a Web browser that is an operating system. Essentially, it is Google’s current browser, Chrome, bulked-up with systems for browsing files, connecting devices, printing documents and keeping the computer secure.

Few days back we had seen a detailed guide on running XP mode for Windows 7. One of the main pre-requisite in order to run the Windows XP Mode, which comes as an add-on was that your CPU must have hardware level virtualization support.

This requirement made it impossible for many users to use Windows XP Mode on Windows 7. Not to worry anymore! Here is an alternative for XP Mode – VMLite.

Track and Recover iPhone via Theft-Recovery app

Raju — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:04:39 +0000

Without a doubt, iPhone is THE MOST popular smartphone in the world and hence we the risk of thefts increases proportionately. We had seen 6 Ways to Track and Recover Your Lost/Stolen iPhone sometime back and one of the commentators, asked me about Orbicule which was not part of the list. When I started digging up more information on Orbicule, I realized that I had made a mistake by not including it in my original list.

So what? Here is a separate dedicated post to introduce this wonderful theft recovery app for iPhones. Mind you, if you have come here looking for an already lost iphone or an already stolen iPhone, there is nothing much I or this app for that matter anyone else can do. This post must act as a warning for every iPhone/iPod Touch user to start safeguarding their loved gadgets.

Orbicule’s Undercover is the leading theft-recovery app for Mac over the years and now, they have an app available for iPhone and iPod Touch gadgets. Undercover is the first iPhone app that uses push notifications to track and locate your stolen phone.

Track your Stolen iPhone

Undercover can help you locate any lost or stolen iPhone or iPod. Undercover can covertly transmit your device’s location and IP address to authorities when you report it as lost or stolen.

Upon registration, you will receive your own Undercover web account at UndercoverCenter. Every time the Undercover application is launched, the phone’s location and IP information is stored in your web account. You can then login to your account to track the device.

Thanks to the clever use of push notifications, the latest version (1.5) even allows you to remotely launch Undercover on the stolen iPhone in order to track the thief’s location. Undercover also comes in handy when you have lost your iPhone: as soon as you set a message for the finder, the phone will ring and Undercover will display the alert on top of any application that might be running. When the finder views the message, Undercover will transmit your phone’s location.

I suggest you enter device-identifiable IDs (WiFi address, IMEI, ICCID and serial number, all found in General->About section of iPhone’s Settings app) into the “iPhone info” section of the web interface.

Reporting a Stolen or Lost iPhone

When Undercover is launched on a stolen iphone, the app pretends to be loading a game. This should encourages a thief to wait, giving the app necessary time to obtain accurate location. Even if a thief quits the app, it will transmit last most accurate location to the cloud. This is assuming the device is ‘online’. Even if it is ‘offline’ it will cache the location details and transmit to the cloud whenever the device goes ‘online’ at a later time! Fantastic!

Access the web interface with a desktop browser to report a stolen device. You can also enter the case number and police contact information, including an email address. The next time Undercover is launched it displays a custom message that you can set in the web interface when you reported a lost device. The finder (assuming a good Samaritan and not a thief) will also see a handy Call Owner button that can be tapped to place a phone call to you, also set in the web interface.

Whenever the cloud receives location of the device reported either stolen or lost, you’ll receive an email alert.

Does having undercover is enough?

Unfortunately, the answer is NO. Undercover isn’t bullet-proof solution and there are several limitations that you need to be aware of. Following are the limitations I can think of:

1. It is always expected that the thief/finder runs the Undercover app atleast once.
2. If you have enabled PIN on your iPhone, the service won’t work because thieves need to be able to access iPhone’s apps in order to launch Undercover.
3. A clever thief will remove the Undercover app from your device manually.

But then, Orbicule claims that, their free helper app – FOUND increases the recovery chances.

Helpers applications work like ‘honeypots’ and they know how to send your phone’s location information to your Undercover account, just like the regular Undercover app. So even if the thief removes Undercover from the iPhone, the helper apps can still locate a lost or stolen device.

But again, it is expected that Found app is launched on a lost or stolen device at-least once. The good thing is, it just costs $4.99, which is like lesser than insurance cover! And Orbicule promises money-back guarantee if Undercover fails to recover your stolen iPhone! This should encourage you, isn’t it?

Download Windows 7 ISO – Official Direct Download Links

Raju — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:51:34 +0000

Few days back we had told you about an option to get the Windows 7 DVD from retail stores or download the Windows 7 ISO directly from its servers online. Customers can digitally download the Windows 7 installation files from online store from which they purchased Windows 7 to clean install on blank PC or upgrade existing installed OS.

The previous Windows 7 download links were in “.box” format, which comprised of a starter executable, setup1.box and setup2.box which cannot be burned to DVD disc directly or mount to a virtual DVD-ROM drive. The process to create a bootable Windows 7 DVD ISO image was pretty complex and most of you found it tough to get started.

Luckily, MDL has got hold of complete listing of Windows 7 ISO direct download links. Note that the Windows 7 ISO image is of RTM build 6.1.7600.16385.

Windows 7 ISO Direct Download Links

Tip: Please use a download manager to download the files since they are bigger than 2GB in size.

Download Kindle for Your Windows PC

Raju — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:34:56 +0000

Amazon just released a free e-book reader application for Windows PCs. The Kindle for PC application allows Amazon customers to read Kindle books on their Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines. A Mac version will follow soon. Besides being capable of working with Amazon’s proprietary e-book format, the app can also display e-books in the .mobi file format.

After downloading the app from Amazon’s website, you’ll have to log in with your Amazon account in order to start using the software. You don’t have to create a special Kindle account to do this—any Amazon account will do.

Kindle for PC – Features

* Purchase, download and read hundreds of thousands of books available in the Kindle Store
* Read the beginning of any book for free before they buy
* Access their library of previously purchased Kindle books stored on Amazon’s servers for free
* Read books in full color including children’s books, cookbooks, travel books, textbooks and graphic novels
* Choose from more than 10 different font sizes and adjust words per line
* Add and automatically synchronize bookmarks and last page read
* View notes and highlights marked on Kindle, Kindle DX, iPhone, and iPod touch
* Zoom in and out of text with a pinch of the fingers (Windows 7 users only)
* Turn pages with a finger swipe (available in a future release for Windows 7 users)
