Disable Windows Autosleep, Standby Or Hybernate

If you have noticed that keeping a system idle for some time say 10 minutes or so, dims the computer screen (by default) or 30 minutes puts the computer to sleep. This is the default settings of the power plan in Windows 7. But there are occasions when you need to run the system for than this time without getting it sleep or hibernated.

Windows used to have a fairly simple hardware suspend command called “standby”. However, this operation took a while to execute (both entering and exiting standby) and it was somewhat unreliable when performed repeatedly, on certain hardware or with certain applications running. Sleep is meant to alleviate these problems by just serializing the current state into memory and then shutting down all devices other than the RAM. With the OS state simmering in memory like that, entering and exiting sleep is nearly instantaneous. However, the dark side to all this is if there is a power outage while the computer is in sleep, all of the unsaved data is lost (since it just existed in memory).

Say you are showing some presentation on the system but not moving the mouse or pressing the key dims the screen, which of course don’t look good. Or consider a situation where you are downloading something from the internet and using the system, then after 30 minutes you find it in sleep state.

You can easily change the power plan according to you but the thing is there are people who forget to change it back when done thereby compromising on the battery power. For this situation, here is a simple tool called Don’t Sleep.

Don’t Sleep is a simple to use and free tool that can prevent system shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Turn Off and Restart when idle. What you need to do is just run the app, select the option you want to disable like that of shutdown or hibernate and it will start working on it instantly.

The tool can also be accessed over internet using the system’s IP address in any web browser.

Control Your Android Phone From Desktop

There are no shortage of remote control apps in the Android market. These remote control apps allow you to send/receive SMS in your browser, receive Android notification on your desktop, control Windows 7, or even stream media to/from your devices. With Remote Web Desktop, you can now control your Android phone from your desktop browser.

Unlike many remote control apps that worked only on WiFi connection, the best thing I love about Remote Web Desktop is that it works in 3G connection as well. Unlike WiFi, which is a direct connection via the router, the 3G connection works via a bridged mode. It is not as straightforward, but the interface and speed are very smooth.
Another good thing about Remote We Desktop is that it doesn’t require you to install a separate app on your desktop. This means that it is cross-platform compatible and can work anywhere with a browser.

Getting Started

To get it working, first install the Remote Web Desktop app (free version) from Android market.
Open up the app and click the “Start Server” button (if you are connected via WiFi). Optionally, you can enter a password so only you can access. After 10 – 25 seconds, you will see a web URL for you to connect on your desktop browser.
If you are on 3G connection, select the bridge mode and enter your email address. Click the “Start Server” button and it will show you another web URL for you to connect to.

Once you are connected to your phone, you can access the various apps and settings on your phone.

Sending/Receiving SMS

As shown in the screenshot below, you can receive and send SMS right within the browser. This is handy if you are always typing long messages or are always on your desktop.

WiFi Keyboard

If you install the WiFi Keyboard app from the Android market, you can integrate it with Remote Web Desktop and type on your Android phone with your physical keyboard.

File Explorer

The File Explorer app allows you to browse your system and SD card files. You can upload (via FTP)/download or even view any file. Best of all, if you right click on an apk file, you can get it to install in your phone as well.

Screen Capture

If you have rooted your phone, you can make use of the Screen Capture feature to capture screenshots on your phone.

Webcam

Not all Android phone comes with a front camera, but most, if not, all of them came with a back camera. With this app, you can turn the back camera into a webcam for your Skype or video conferencing session.

Shared Clipboard

You can copy a text/word/sentence/paragraph/image, paste it in the Shared Clipboard and it will instantly become available in your phone.
Other than the above mentioned apps, there are several other features (Contacts, Notes and Mobile Settings) that are still “under construction”.


Remote Web Desktop doesn’t control every single aspect of your phone, but for those it does, I think they are very impressive.
There are two version of Remote Web Desktop in the market, free and paid. The paid version ($3.99) is ad-free and comes with a HTTPS secure mode and unlimited FTP file transfer.

Cloud Experience - 10GB FREE Online Storage And Backup

Cloud Experience is a recently launched state of art, real-time syncing, backup and storage solution. It is still in beta stage and includes a free plan with 10GB storage and 1GB traffic.


In my previous article, I wrote about Dropbox and later found similar solution named Cloud Experience (CX). It offers 10GB storage which is somewhat bigger compared to Dropbox’s 2GB. At this moment CX client software is limited to Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Iphone and BlackBerry platforms. The promising feature set includes following.

•  Automatically manages versions between people working on the same files so you’ll know who did what and never lose your work

•  Data transfers are encrypted via 2048-bit SSL connections

•  Locally stored data is broken into pieces and encrypted so that they cannot be reassembled or read directly from the disk without your login information

It is too early to compare CX with other cloud vendors, but don’t hesitate to try out as it is the best way to get to know.

How To Add Extra Security To Your Facebook Account

For many of us, Facebook is home to a lot of our online communications—including our most private. Keep other people from getting into your account with these new Facebook features.

Last week, Facebook started rolling out two-factor authentication, just like Gmail recently did. When enabled, Facebook will ask you to enter a code any time you log into Facebook from a new device. Thus, if someone gets a hold of your Facebook password, they won’t be able to log into a computer you haven’t already used, since they won’t know that code. It isn’t as useful if, say, someone steals your laptop, though, since you will have already activated Facebook on that device.

In addition, Facebook’s also fixed problems with the HTTPS support they recently added. When it first rolled out, it would set you back to HTTP whenever you used a Facebook application, and leave you there until you manually navigated back to the HTTPS version. Now, Facebook has fixed this issue, automatically sending you back to secure pages when you leave the insecure application pages. If you don’t already have this enabled, we highly recommend it.

They’ve also added a suite of family-oriented safety tools, including a repository of articles for parents and social reporting tools that lets people notify a member of their community when they see something they don’t like.

These features, as always, are rolling out gradually, so if you don’t see them just yet, don’t worry. Check back with your Account Settings every few days and you should see them pop up soon under “Account Security”. Hit the link to read more.

How to Block Autorun Malware - Use BitDefender USB Immunizer

Bitdefender USB Immunizer is a freeware utility to immunize USB storage devices or SD cards against infections with autorun-based malware.Autorun based viruses and malwares are one of the most common issues faced by USB pen drives when using on public computers.

This small utility is divided in two sections.

1. The Immunize option allows you to immunize your USB storage device or SD card against infections with autorun-based malware. Even if your storage device has been plugged into an infected computer, the piece of malware will be unable to create its autorun.inf file, thus annihilating any chance of auto-launching itself.

2. The Immunize Computer slider allows you to toggle the autorun feature On or Off for any removable media (except for CD/DVD-ROM devices). If you accidentally plug in an infected USB drive that has not been immunized, the computer will not auto-execute the piece of malware located on the USB storage device.

Download BitDefender USB Immunizer from Labs BitDefender.
