Hide the Last Seen Notification in WhatsApp
WhatsApp the most used smartphone app for texting and chatting has some
features like "Last Seen Time". This basically tells the other users
that you have checked their messages.
Unfortunately WhatsApp doesn’t allow options for Invisible or Offline like some other messaging services. This can be problematic for users who want to stay anonymous or for those who don’t what to chat with some people.
Download Now. Unfortunately, it’s not yet up on play store.
How to Use
- Download and install the Not Last Seen app from here (root not required).
- Open the app and enable ‘Block Last Seen!’
- Open the WhatsApp, now you will see the data connection went off automatically as soon as you open WhatsApp.
- Read and send the messages, then close the WhatsApp screen.
- Once you’re out of the WhatsApp screen, the data connection will enable automatically and will send the composed messages.
Similarly Facebook has "Seen" Notification on Facebook, if
you have read the messages.
Note: No rooting required. Just download and install.
Cloud Computing: Everything you need to know
Cloud Computing is the idea of computing as a utility. It is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. Cloud computing allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their personal files at any computer with internet access.
Cloud computing removes the need to purchase physical servers by
providing these services over the web. Just need to create an account on Amazon
Web Services and set up a virtual server (EC2) and data storage (S3) all your
system via the internet. Pricing is usage-based, meaning that you pay for
exactly the amount of computing power and data storage you use.
Companies that provide cloud computing services (Amazon, Microsoft, Google) purchase server farms themselves and then make money by charging users for access via the internet for computing power and data storage on their servers. This is a significant innovation because it's exponentially cheaper and more efficient for anyone to run a web application.

This is a significant innovation because it's exponentially cheaper and more efficient for anyone to run a web application.
Cloud Computing is actually an umbrella term for three service models:
IAAS – Infrastructure as a Service
Provision of servers or virtual servers that companies can use on a
pay-as-you-go basis. An example of this is
Amazon s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
PAAS – Platform as a Service
Includes a set of lower level services such as an operating system or
computer language interpreter offered by a cloud provider on which developers
can build custom applications. A few
examples include OpenShift (Redhat), Cloud Foundry (VM Ware), Google App Engine.
SAAS – Software as a Service
Software that you access simply by navigating there in a web
browser. Facebook, Twitter, Gmail,
Google Docs are all examples of Saas. People
have been using Saas for a long time.
Why
it matters?
In a nutshell, cloud computing is accessing business data on the fly
anywhere with internet access, we already do that with our gmail or yahoo, just
like that but with business app. Imagine the dynamic nature of this feature,
only drawback "socially" is jobs, few large data center can manage a lot,
and hardware consolidation will also be the key.

Difference in Jailbreaking, Rooting and Unlocking
In this post, I will be explaining the basic of all these terms. This post was a request from our fans. Compared with laptop or desktop computers, the tablet devices and smart phones available and greatly limited. Jail breaking and Rooting and Unlocking been provided to bypass this protection and do what the device manufacturer wants you to do.
1) Jail Breaking
It is to delete
or cancel the limitations set out in the device by the device manufacturer. Often
used to Apple devices Karafun or iPad, for example, it allows you to use the
programs, the third party (Aiit) and any from outside the Apple store. You can
also change some of the most settings, such as changing the default browser,
but the most important thing allowed is the installation of third party
software is certified by Apple.
Also your tablet
devices Microsoft Surface Rt, where you can install non-Microsoft software
programs where it is in the original system of Surface RT only allows you to
installation of programs certified by Microsoft.
2) Rooting
Rooting is to get
the user permissions manager for a device, often root used to Android devices,
but used also for systems based on UNIX system such as Nokia's previous
Symbian. Gives root (admin) several powers such as deleting some original
applications of the system, run some applications that need root access and
more.
Cons of rooting,
is that if the user does not know to deal with the system error may wipe some
important files which cause damage to the system permanently.
NOTE: After
rooting the device does not remain guaranteed by the seller any warranty you
tend Warranty.
3) Unlocking
Some phones, data
cards and others especially backed by telecommunications companies come
"unlocked" so it comes only supportive of this company cards. When
you enter the sim card of another company, it does not support. The unlocking
(Open) can play another card on this phone if you are traveling or decided to
change the company contact.
Note: Unlike with
the former two types, the unlocking system is not related to what is good for
each of the devices.

Transform your Windows Explorer into Chrome

shortcuts are same as Google Chrome.
Clover Features
Automatically
transform your default Windows Explorer in Chrome tabbed style.
Drag and Drop
files to another tab easily.
Create
favorites location by drag and drop or Ctrl+D shortcut.

configuration (for update system).
