Create a Portable Version of Just About Any Program




Windows only: If you're a big fan of portable applications, but there isn't a portable version of your favorite app out there, free app Cameyo will create one for you. 

Cameyo is extremely simple to use. Just start it up, let it take a snapshot of your PC (which can take a little while, even if you don't have a ton of stuff loaded onto it), and install your program of choice. After you're done, Cameyo will take another snapshot and package that application into a portable EXE that you can take with you anywhere and run it normally (but without it affecting the rest of the system).
The really cool thing, as you can see in the video above, is that you can install pretty much anything—even add-ons to other programs, and they'll be included in the package. This means you can bring your favorite browser pre-bundled with, say, Flash and Java, among other things. Hit the link to try it out.
Cameyo is a free download for Windows only.

Load and use multiple OSs from your USB drive



Ever felt like carrying your Ubuntu, Fedora, Tiny-core and all other OS’s iso in your pen drive? Yes, you can now carry all your favorite Operating systems with you wherever  you go and boot from them using the same USB drive.MultiBoot USB is a freeware which can help you to use the multiple OS iso files on the same pen drive.

To use the MultiBoot on your pen drive it must meet some requirements first. You’ll require a FAT32 formatted pen drive and a computer which can boot from a USB device. Prefer using an 8-16 GB pen drive so that you can have more different operating systems on it.

To start off first download the MultiBootISO’s from here . Run the executable and follow the instructions. Browse to the ISO file you want to load on your USB drive and build the bootable USB using it. You might have to format your pen drive during the process so do take a backup of all your data which is there on the pen drive.

To add more ISO files repeat the same procedure. Restart your PC and set the highest priority for the USB drive to boot from it and done. Do give it a shot!!! :)

Ubuntu - Best Open source linux operating system



Ubuntu is a computer operating system originally based on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and distributed as free and open source software with additional proprietary software available.

Ubuntu comes installed with a wide range of software that includes OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Empathy (Pidgin in versions before 9.10), Transmission, GIMP, and several lightweight games (such as Sudoku and chess). Additional software that is not installed by default can be downloaded and installed using the Ubuntu Software Center or the package manager Synaptic, which come pre-installed. Ubuntu allows networking ports to be closed using its firewall, with customized port selection available. End-users can install Gufw (GUI for Uncomplicated Firewall) and keep it enabled.[31] GNOME (the current default desktop) offers support for more than 46 languages. Ubuntu can also run many programs designed for Microsoft Windows (such as Microsoft Office), through Wine or using a Virtual Machine (such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox).

Installation of Ubuntu is generally performed with the Live CD. The Ubuntu OS can be run directly from the CD (albeit with a significant performance loss), allowing a user to "test-drive" the OS for hardware compatibility and driver support. The CD also contains the Ubiquity installer,[33] which then can guide the user through the permanent installation process. CD images of all current and past versions are available for download at the Ubuntu web site. Installing from the CD requires a minimum of 256 MiB of RAM.

Users can download a disk image (.iso) of the CD, which can then either be written to a physical medium (CD or DVD), or optionally run directly from a hard drive (via UNetbootin or GRUB). Ubuntu is also available on ARM, PowerPC, SPARC, and IA-64 platforms, although none but ARM are officially supported

Wubi, which is included as an option on the Live CD, allows Ubuntu to be installed and run from within a virtual Windows loop device (as a large image file that is managed like any other Windows program via the Windows Control Panel). This method requires no partitioning of a Windows user's hard drive. Wubi also makes use of the Migration Assistant to import users' settings. It is only useful for Windows users and it also incurs a slight performance loss.

How to Send Large File on Internet for Slow Internet Connection


If you have a fast internet connection you can share large files easily, but if you use dial-up connection you will not difficulties share a file with a tens megabyte/gigabyte size on internet. The only way to share large files easily you must split the file into a kilobyte or a few megabyte size.

How to split the large file into a kilobyte size? It’s easy, almost all compression software such as WINZIP, WINRAR, 7Zip, etc can be used to split a large file into a few files in kilobyte size and all the software is very easy to use.

On this tutorial I will discuss about share large file on internet if your internet connection slow. The software which I use on this tutorial is 7Zip software (you can search the software on Google :D ).

Here Two Easy Steps to Share Large File on Internet for Slow Internet Connection

1. Split the large file into few kilobytes or megabytes which you want, here how:

    * On this tutorial I use 7Zip (you can use WinZip or WinRAR as alternative software). Right clicking mouse on the large file to split, on the context menu select “7-Zip” then “add to archive”


 Determine file size for each file split. For example I want to split a large file into a few files with file size for each files is 1 Megabyte. Entering 1M into “Split to Volume, bytes”. Then click Ok





The result, I get a few file with 1 Megabyte size for each file. Now you can easy upload the file on  online storage or on online file hosting such as Ziddu, 4Shared, MediaFire, etc. (Warning: don’t rename the files to prevent error when extract and merge them into one file)

 
2. How to Extract and Combine all file into one file.

If you share files that have been split, tell the software you use to split the file to the people/friend who download your files because on my experiment I getting error when combine the file using other software.

Because I use 7-Zip software to split the file which I share, so to extract and merge the file into one file I use 7-Zip again, here how:

    * From windows explorer, right clicking mouse on the fist file to extract select “7-Zip” then select “Extract File” or “Extract Here”  (Note: usually the order of the file name is marked with numbers)






    * The result, you’ll get one large file like the source file.

I hope this post can help you to share your useful file on internet.






 

How To Use Windows 7 to create a Wi-Fi network without using Router



If you have got Wi-Fi in your laptop and have Windows 7 installed in it then you can easily turn it into a Wi-Fi hotspot and share your net connection with other people in the range and Virtual Router is the easiest way to do so.

Virtual Router is an open source software which leverages the Wireless Hosted Network API which is a part of the new Windows Operating Systems (Windows 7 and Windows server 2008).

    With this feature, a Windows computer can use a single physical wireless adapter to connect as a client to a hardware access point (AP), while at the same time acting as a software AP allowing other wireless-capable devices to connect to it. This feature requires that a Hosted Network capable wireless adapter is installed in the local computer. (quoted from MS library)


The program is really simple to use. After downloading and installing the software all you have to do is specify the network name and password to access this network. It uses the WPA-2 encryption to protect the wireless network from unwanted users. 


The program requires only 20mb of RAM and is pretty simple to understand and use. Requires Windows 7 or Windows server 2008 to run.
