<p><strong>&#8220;Zerg Rush&#8221; </strong>is Google’s latest <strong><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/category/easter-egg" target="_blank">Easter Egg</a></strong>, and it’s first StarCraft-inspired one. Just enter <strong>Zerg Rush</strong> in <strong><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/2009/01/top-13-different-styles-of-google.html" target="_blank">google search box</a></strong> and hit enter.Hordes of red and yellow Google O’s will descend on your search results. You have to click them to knock down their HP before they defeat your search results.</p>
<p>After every search result gets wiped out, and they will get wiped out, you’ll be assigned a score which you can then share on <strong><a href="http://www.geekyard.com/blog/how-to-share-blog-links-in-google-plus/" target="_blank">Google+</a></strong>. Google tracks the user’s <strong>actions per minute (APM) </strong>and zerg kill count in a score box on the far right of the screen. Once all of the search results have been eaten by zergs, the enemies gather at the top of the (almost) blank page to form two Gs. My score the first time around was 16 zerglings taken down with 56 APM (attacks per minute).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Increase-Your-Iphone-Battery-Life-With-These-Easy-to-Use-Tips.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2025" title="Increase Your Iphone Battery Life With These Easy to Use Tips" src="http://www.techpraveen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Increase-Your-Iphone-Battery-Life-With-These-Easy-to-Use-Tips.png" alt="Increase Your Iphone Battery Life With These Easy to Use Tips" width="320" height="480" /></a></p>
<p>If you are an iPhone users then you must be aware of the less point of Apple’s iPhone is its Battery. With every usage of it the %age of battery decreases. Iphone offers its users whole new world of features, apps, games which cannot be resisted from exploring. But the main concern for the user will be saving the battery throughout the day. Maximum iPhone battery is 100% and it rapidly decreases according to the usage.</p>
<p>But every problem has a fix to it and Apple has done that for the battery issue. So let’s explore these few simple and few little tricky ones to get that extra bit of battery.</p>
<p><strong>When Not in Use Turn off Your iPhone All Wireless Applications </strong></p>
<p>All the latest phones, being specific Smartphone come with inbuilt wireless applications like Bluetooth and wifi access. So it is advised to switch off such features when they are not in use. As these features tends to deplete your iPhone battery fast. So turning them off can help you extend the battery life for several hours.</p>
<p>If not required then disable the 3G as well. As the 3G technology survives on the battery of the phone. If possible to turn off it will give you long battery life for whole day.</p>
<p>Make use of the auto brightness feature of your iPhone. This will automatically adjust the back light of IPhone as required. This adjustment also helps in saving battery.</p>
<p><strong>Manually Lesser The Screen Brightness</strong></p>
<p>Although you have enabled the auto brightness feature but in some scenarios it does not dim the light as required. There you can manually lower the brightness of the home screen for saving of the battery. Preferred is to keep your brightness to 49% to make optimum use of the iPhone battery.</p>
<p><strong>End Background Apps</strong></p>
<p>According to Apple, the background apps are not technically ‘running’, unless they are front and centre, which means they should not draw any power.</p>
<p>The multitasking application for the iPhone continues to use resources of system more efficiently depletes your battery.</p>
<p>Applications, for example, Skype or even other VoIP can be especially benefit from the battery when you perform within the setting and so it is better to start launching the applications only when you need which can save the battery life.</p>
<p><strong>Cool Off The IPhone Temperature</strong></p>
<p>High temperature of iPhone also eats up its battery life. If you find that while charging your phone the temperature is increasing, then remove the phone cover before plugging in for charging. Let it also have a breath of fresh air so place it on a table or in open space instead of your pocket. The optimum temperature for iPhone and its battery is between 32°F to 95° F.</p>
<p><strong>Make Use of Solar Chargers</strong></p>
<p>Solar chargers give you freedom of charging your iPhone from anywhere. So if your battery is dying out, you can save it with solar power.</p>
<p>Also another advantage is that you can follow the motto “Go green” while saving the electricity which in turn protects the environment.</p>
<p><strong>Frequently Use your iPhone:</strong><br />
We all know that iphone is a precious thing for anyone but that does not mean that you restrict its use to protect it from daily wear and tear. It is best valued with optimum use of it. Not using the iPhone for a long time can reduce its battery life. Therefore one should use it regularly and change iPhone battery at least once every 6 months.</p>
<p>Apple has also strongly recommends that you should charge your iPhone when the battery is completely finished i.e. 0%.</p>
<p>So follow these tips and you can easily save your iPhone battery life and enjoy it for long.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/category/linux" target="_blank">Linux</a></strong> is one of the world&#8217;s most powerful and popular operating system. Linux operating system was developed by <strong>Linus Benedict Torvalds</strong> at the age of 21. At present there are more than <strong>300 flavors of Linux</strong> available and one can choose between any of them depending on the kind of applications they want. If you are new to Linux read, <strong><a href="http://www.geekyard.com/os/linux-os/top-5-advantages-of-using-linux-os/" target="_blank">Top 5 Advantages of Using Linux Os</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/tag/linux" target="_blank">Linux</a> is a <strong>freeware</strong> and generally speaking its free from <strong><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/2011/11/what-is-the-difference-between-a-virus-trojan-horse-and-worm.html" target="_blank">Virus</a></strong> and other malware infections.  In this post I will share few Linux facts which may or may not be know for many of us.</p>
<h2><strong>15 Most Interesting Linux Facts</strong></h2>
<ol>
<li>Only 2% of the current Linux kernel written by <strong>Linus Torvalds</strong>.</li>
<li>The Linux kernel version is written in the <strong>programming language C</strong>.</li>
<li>The first commercial distribution GNU / Linux was Yggdrasil was launched Lice-CD format in 1992. Red Hat was one of the first distributions to settle within companies and data centers in 1999.</li>
<li>A guy named <strong>William Della Croce Jr.</strong> registered the name Linux and demanded royalties for use of the mark. Later, he agreed to assign the trademark to the true owner, who is Torvalds.</li>
<li>Countries such as <strong>Russia, Brazil</strong> and <strong>Venezuela</strong> have put their focus on Linux as a basis for interoperable management , cost efficient and technologically independent.</li>
<li>U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Navy Submarine Fleet, Federal Aviation Administration uses Linux in government offices. Indian state of <strong>Tamil Nadu</strong> uses Linux for education purpose.</li>
<li>90% of the world&#8217;s most <strong>powerful supercomputers</strong> using an operating system GNU / Linux, in fact, the top ten of supercomputers use Linux. In fact, the penetration of Linux in data centers is very high, 33.8% of the world runs on Linux servers compared to 7.3% does so in a Microsoft operating system.</li>
<li>The name of the penguin, <strong>Tux</strong> , is not entirely clear. On the one hand, it is said that the origin of the name comes from the fact that penguins appear to be wearing a tuxedo, which in English is said max tuxedo tux and is abbreviated. In contrast, another source comes from the letters of the logo of Tux are Unix Torvalds.</li>
<li>Torvalds wanted to call the <strong>kernel Freax</strong> (a combination of “free”, “freak”, and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was hosted for download, the download directory called kernel of Linux Torvalds.</li>
<li><strong>Debian</strong> was one of the first GNU / Linux that was constituted and organized as a community of developers.</li>
<li><strong>Linux is present in highly critical applications</strong> such as Japan&#8217;s bullet trains, traffic control, San Francisco, the New York Stock Exchange, CERN, many air traffic control systems or control of nuclear reactors of submarines and ships many nuclear war.</li>
<li>Linux programmers are often associated with living &#8220;isolated&#8221; in the world, however, over 75% of the code developed for the Linux kernel came from private sector developers. In fact, large technology companies like Intel, Google, IBM, AMD, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Asus, HP, Analog Devices, Oracle, Novell or Red Hat help developing applications, contributing to the core or pre-installing any GNU / Linux their machines. In fact, <strong>during the 2003 Super Bowl</strong> (which paralyzes the United States and remains glued to the TV for many Americans), <strong>IBM delivered a beautiful ad talking about Linux</strong> and open source options.</li>
<li>The GNU project in 1991, had no drivers and kernel, that&#8217;s what led to Linus Torvalds to address the Linux kernel development. If GNU had had, perhaps, Torvalds had not been put to work on that.</li>
<li>The Linux kernel is now the most <strong>widely ported operating system</strong>, running on a great variety of operating systems.</li>
<li>World known companies such as <strong>Google, Cisco, <a href="http://www.geekyard.com/category/social/facebook/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://www.geekyard.com/tag/twitter/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, Linked</strong> in etc use Linux as their main operating system.</li>

<p><strong>Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum (TUFF)</strong> and <strong>Financial Fraud Action UK </strong>have joined together and released two videos to create awareness among public. The new campaign named as <strong><em>“The Devil’s in Your Details”</em></strong>, purposed to reduce fraud and help raise awareness on the threats that lurk behind every received <strong>email</strong> or <strong>phone call</strong>.</p>
<p>Recognising the growing threat of fraud, Government has come together with leading industry players to help people better protect themselves. In the first campaign of its kind involving both the private and public sectors, The<strong> Devil&#8217;s in Your Details</strong> campaign brings together <strong><a href="http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/thedevilsinyourdetails" target="_blank">Action Fraud</a></strong>, <strong>The Telecommunications UK Fraud Forum (TUFF) </strong>and <strong>Financial Fraud Action UK </strong>- the name under which the financial services industry coordinates its fraud prevention activity, in a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when industry and government work together.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>Two Great Awareness Video Released:</strong></p>
<p>The initiators of the campaign also released <strong>two great videos</strong> that satirically demonstrate the naivety of some people when it comes to handing over their most private data to an unknown individual. These are the two <strong>humorous video</strong> released,</p>
<ul>
<li>The Devils in Your Details &#8211; <a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/category/security" target="_blank">Online Fraud</a></li>
<li>The Devils in Your Details &#8211; Phone Fraud</li>
</ul>
<p>As an introduction to a wider campaign against fraud, this awareness activity aims to increase reporting of fraud, making it harder for fraudsters to target consumers in the future.</p>
<p class="note"><strong>The Devils in Your Details &#8211; Online Fraud</strong></p>
<p>Action Fraud knows your identity is what defines you, what makes you unique. You shouldn&#8217;t treat this information carelessly when you shop online. The danger of<strong> online fraud</strong> is real. It&#8217;s time to take the necessary precautions.<br />

<strong></strong></p>
<p class="note"><strong>The Devils in Your Details &#8211; Phone Fraud</strong></p>
<p>Action Fraud knows that an official phone manner can catch you off guard. Don&#8217;t be fooled &#8211; learn to spot the signs of phone fraud. If you&#8217;re asked for more <strong>personal information</strong> than usual, sit up and take notice. Contact Action Fraud.<br />

<p><strong><a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/consumer-preview" target="_blank">Windows 8</a></strong>, the latest  <a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/category/microsoft" target="_blank">Microsoft&#8217;s</a> operating system brings an innovative new platform and tools to developers. Windows 8 apps can use a broad set of new libraries and controls, designed for fluid interaction and seamless connectivity. Apps can add new capabilities to Windows and to other apps, connecting with one another through the new interface. <img src='http://www.techpraveen.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Windows 8 Consumer Preview Setup will check to see if your PC can run <strong>Windows 8 Consumer Preview</strong> and select the right download. Setup also features a compatibility report and upgrade assistance. Built-in tools for creating an ISO or bootable flash drive are available for some previous versions of Windows (excluding <strong><a href="http://www.techpraveen.com/category/xp" target="_blank">Windows XP</a></strong> and earlier).</p>
<h2><strong>Key Features of &#8220;Windows 8 Consumer Preview&#8221;:</strong></h2>
<p class="note"><strong>Touch-First User Interface:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Metro style &#8211; </strong>Windows 8 introduces a new Metro style interface built for touch, which shows information important to you, embodies simplicity and gives you control. The Metro style UI is equally at home with a mouse and keyboard as well.</li>
<li><strong>Touch-first browsing, not just browsing on a touch device -</strong> Providing a fast and fluid touch-browsing experience, Internet Explorer 10 puts sites at the center on new Windows 8 devices.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>More Ways to Engage With Powerful, Connected Apps:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Powered by apps -</strong> Metro style apps built for Windows 8 are the focal point of your experience, filling your entire screen so there are no distractions.</li>
<li><strong>Apps can work together &#8211; </strong>Apps communicate with each other in Windows 8. For example, you can easily select and email photos from different places, such as Facebook, Flickr or on your hard drive.</li>
<li><strong>Your experience syncs across your devices -</strong> Live roams all the content from the cloud services you use most — photos, email, calendar and contacts — keeping them up-to-date on your devices. With SkyDrive, you can access your files, photos and documents from virtually anywhere with any browser or with Metro style apps in Windows 8.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>Enhanced Fundamentals:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The best of Windows 7, only better -</strong> Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7, delivering improvements in performance, security, privacy and system reliability. Windows 8 reduces the memory footprint needed &#8211; even on the lowest-end hardware &#8211; leaving more room for your apps.</li>
<li><strong>Preserving power-user favorites and making them better -</strong> For those who push the limits of their PC, Windows 8 features an enhanced Task Manager and Windows Explorer and new, flexible options for multimonitor setups.</li>
</ul>
<p class="note"><strong>New Developer Opportunities:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Windows Store -</strong> The Windows Store will allow developers to sell their apps anywhere Windows is sold worldwide, whether they’re creating new games or familiar productivity tools.</li>
<li><strong>Build using more languages &#8211; </strong>Windows 8 lets you leverage your existing skills and code assets to create great experiences using the programming language you prefer.</li>
<li><strong>Rich hardware integration leads to richer experiences, particularly for games &#8211; </strong>DirectX 11 gaming power underlies Windows 8, allowing the easy creation of full-screen games with smooth, flicker-free action.</li>
</ul>
