Keep you Computer Safe - from Viruses - without an Antivirus

I have Windows XP SP 3 and my operating system is virus free, it has been a year since I last installed a window. when it comes to security, MS windows does not provides you a better security then Linux and that's why Linux is more secure and that's why you purchase an Antivirus program to keep your computer safe.

In this world viruses spread in a light speed, and you always needed to update your antivirus so that it can protect your computer from any latest virus but the problem with having a antivirus is that, it gives you headache, slow your pc little bit, annoys you when you are working and requires updates in a week or two.

Things To Do:

  • Don't use pirated software because mostly they contain viruses, and it's illegal too.
  • Download software from publisher or developer you trust because a .exe or .bat could be a virus from unknown publishers.
  • Don't download attachments from unknown email and report that email, because people fall for spam.
  • Don't trust your facebook friends  (Any social media unknown or so called friends) and don't open what they send you unless you are fully sure that they can be trusted.
  • Do not run any picture, video file or any other media file which extension is ".exe" it could be like mypicture.jpg.exe ... in this the real extension is .exe, to enable extensions to be visible in your computer GOTO My Computer => Tools => Folder Options => View => Uncheck "Hide extensions for unknown file type"
  • Check file size before download, for example if you are downloading MS office 2010 which is of "12kb" of course it's a virus because this software is of "600MB +"
  • Download software from developer's official website, because you cannot take risk on any third party source.
  • Download USB Virus Scan to secure any virus possibility from USB Drives.

Transparent Display - Laptops, TVs or in Mobile Devices!

The future we have seen in the movies is coming, as you can feel the technology around. One of the fastest evolving technology is of display screens :-

  • From CRT to LCD
  • From LCD to Plasma
  • From Plasma to LED
  • From LED to OLED
  • From OLED to AMOLED
  • From AMOLED to  AMOLED  (Transparent: In Progress)
Transparent Display Screens are coming, some companies including Samsung are working on it, but it has being couple of years but there is no authentic news of their success but as we know it's not that easy to make a screen completely transparent, even if you tell that to your grandfather, he will probably think that you are crazy, that's how crazy will be Transparent Screens.



  • Samsung is using these AMOLED screens in his high budget smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
  • Nokia used it in Nokia Lumia 800, 900 and Nokia X7
  • HTC used it in HTC Legend and HTC One S.
None of these smartphones are smart enough for Transparent AMOLED Screens But their Display screens are incredibly thin. We can expect transparent screens in coming future. For now, Have a Good Day!

How To Prevent Hacking with a Strong Password? "boy" is more secure password then "Girl"?

What is a strong password?

Simply, a password that cannot be cracked or requires years to crack.

How to?

  • Don't use any common names like  "john", "canada", "football" in your password.
  • Don't use any common words like "small", "option", "father" in your password.
  • Of course, two points above exactly means that don't even use any word or name that is related to you like your pet's name, your aunt's nickname or your nickname.
  • Always use symbols in your password like "happ3n 9ing" (I included " " (a space) between n and 9)
  • You can check how secure is your password from here

Amazing:


"Girl" is more common password then "boy" and "you are sick" is more secure then "76y587yh" because it has 2 spaces (symbols).You can use other symbols too like <,*&*&(*$%& etc..

Before Buying Ram - 7 Points To Check!

Sometimes you make a mistake, Sometimes you do buy incompatible electronics and Sometimes you do buy incompatible RAM for your Computer. To be safe from this mistake or to not repeat that mistake just follow the below Checkpoints :-


  • Check your Motherboard Manufacturer and Model.
  • Check the Type of Ram supported in your Motherboard like DDR, DDR2, DDR3, SD RAM etc..
  • Check out the highest supported frequency in your Motherboard like 1333Mhz, 1600Mhz etc and buy the highest frequency RAM supported.
  • Stay away from the unknown manufacturer and you'll be safe.
  • If you have 32-bit OS you are limited to 4GB of RAM, you'll need 64-bit OS to have more then 4 GB.
  • RAM slots you have, it's better to divide ram equally like if you want to buy a 4 GB then by 2 RAM's of 2GB. 2 X 2GB.
  • Warranty ... of-course, you are clever enough to get that point.
  • Research, always better to do research about anything you are willing to buy, so that ensures you are not going to waste your money.
In case you don't know how to check your Motherboard Model Download CPU-Z => Run it =.> click on 'Mainboard' tab and it'll show you the manufacturer and model of you board.

Remember that Snake on Nokia?

12 years ago, Snake was the Grand Theft Auto of mobile gaming. It was the Standard pre-loaded game on Nokia mobiles and it was so exciting to compete with friends and fight for the high score but mobile gaming evolve into new age and now 3d games with much better graphics are available.

This proves that how things change in such a short interval of time but the point is that it's all started with the snake, we always start from low level and that's how we get reach to the high higher or even highest level with our passion, desire and hard work.

 If you are that guy who want million of Dollars on your first salary then you should think twice thrice because literally that is not possible ... I mean really that's not even possible, is it? ... anyway the point is if you're not getting your desired job the only reason is because you are not capable of that million dollar chair, you have to start low to get into the power. Don't give up and when you feel like giving up just think about Nokia, think about Walt Disney.

Nokia started from some shitty mobiles and now they are making Windows phones

Walt Disney said "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse."

I hope you get the point !

  • Are you being Bullied
  • You have that "Discourage Bank" at your job.
Motivation is the key to success, way of success.  Overcoming your failures and making that experience your strength is the one key to achieve your vision.

Discouragement is a way to make other's stop gaining success, by your words or attitude. 

What Douchebag at gym and office or a bully do, is Hate. These people are haters they disheart you because they are jealous of you or sometimes because they think they are the Smartest, Charming and cool person in the room but in reality they are nothing but Haters, Douchbags and "Jealous Cats" who are trying to stop you from achieving your dreams or desiring to snatch spotlight from you. You can do what they can't, Don't let them overcome you and DO NOT GIVE UP! 

  • Douchbag at gym think he's the "King of the Gym"
  • Douchbag at Office feels jealous of your work
  • Bully at school could be a douchbag but if not, then probably he's having bad days within his personal life.

Did anyone said that "You'll never make it" or "You can't do that"

Tell Them:


  • Walt Disney was fired because according to the editor "he was not creative enough".
  • Thomas Edison's teacher told him that he is so stupid to learn anything and also he failed 1000 times in the invention of a light bulb but according to him these were 1000 steps before invention.
  • Even Charlie Chaplin was rejected by Hollywood initially.

These people got discouragement in many phases of life but they make them their strength and you all know where they are/were now. So, don't take hater's serious because "Haters Gonna Hate" and do not become one of the haters, do not discourage other's but motivate others because that show's your character and all the great people have it.

Watch Phones - Smart Watch (In Pakistan)

Watch Phones may have seem to be 'a new technology' for some people but the truth is it is about more then 10 years old technology, but the X-factor is that now a days even mobile watches can have android like Z1 Android Watch Phone. It's manufactured in China and have Android version 2.2 ...


The Point is these Watch-Phones are becoming known in Pakistan and available in many markets of Pakistan but mostly by the unknown manufacturer.




The price range would be in between Rs 8000 to Rs 20,000
but if you go for the Z1 Android Watch which is a Smart-Watch, Samsung S9110

 or any other Watch-Phone with Trusted Manufacturer it'll cost you more then Rs 20,000 ...


The idea is that always go for quality because Untrusted Manufacturer can sold product at cheap but the Trusted Manufacturer like LG, Samsung or Sony Ericsson always contain their Quality and Warranty.
