China has the largest number of IT users in the world.

China is always a world dominator in adapting and creating new technologies. The Chinese people have loved and utilized the potential of the web like no other. They now have surpassed US population and become the country with the largest number of internet users according to CNNIC. A registry of the total number of internet users and registered top-level domains in China is maintained by China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC).
China has created history with landing their Taikonut in the moon and now they have surpassed another landmark. There is no relationship between space crafts and surfing the internet, but it showed the technological advantage they have gained over the years. China now has become an indisputable power among the technologically advanced nations in the world. So this is not a very surprising thing that they are also the largest users of internet.
China now has about 338 million internet users. There are about 13 million websites that are registered under the top level domain .cn. The tremendous increase in internet usage in china attributes to many new and modern technologies like popularity of 3G enabled mobiles and other internet enabled gadgets. Among the 338 million users about 155 million access the internet using mobile devices. Almost half of the internet users in China are accessing web on the go.
China is the biggest populated nations in the world. So even though it has surpassed the US population the gross population accessing the internet is close to 40% when compared to 74% in US. The number of security issues is also increasing with the steady growth in internet usage, which is a matter of concern. Technology has both pros and cons. So with increasing number of users China will also become a huge market for security software companies.
China is also the largest broadband internet using nation in the world and .cn, the country code top-level domain of China, is second largest top-level domain in the world.

Hulbee-A tag search engine.

Hulbee is a new search engine which helps you search the web by adding related tags to your search queries. It uses Yahoo search index to provide you with related queries there by helping you to build queries by the click of a mouse button. It is another experiment in simplifying web search. Searching the web with Hulbee is very easy. Hulbee has a very intusive interface. While you search by entering a particular query,then Hulbee presents you with related keywords on the left side. These related queries are displayed as a tag cloud, like in a blog or a website. When you click on any of these tags, it will be added to your search query. In this way you can add more and more tags to your search query there by refining your search results.

I searched with Hulbee and it is a very interesting experience. You can also search Hulbee by entering your search queries and Hulbee will suggest you with related queries in a tag cloud. When a related tag is already in the search result, it will be highlighted. You can refine your search by adding the suggested queries. This will help you narrow your search and get quality results.
Hulbee is not a great search engine or even comparable to search engines like Google. But it will defenitely help you to make your search more simple and according to the developers of Hulbbe:"Changing of query on Hulbee is quite simple. Adding or excluding of query word takes one click. Intellectual technologies allow Hulbee to suggest possible query variants. For successful search it is enough to pick suitable one from suggested variants. Hulbee relieves from the necessity of keyboard using, it is normal to build query with mouse only."I assume that the motivation behind Hulbee is to make you use the mouse more than the keyboard while searching, but I think it is quite useful and will satisfy any kind of user. Moreover, if a search engine can provide you with what you need in one search that is better than building queries. Hulbee is efficient in that aspect too. It provides you with quality results and while adding more and more tags you will get more refined results.
The idea behind Hulbee is simple and it uses a new technology to present keywords with related themes as a cloud. Query suggestion is not a new thing and this option is availabe in search engines like Google, Yahoo, and others. The only difference is that they suggest you queries while you type your queries. Google provides you with apt query suggestions and it makes your search much faster to some extend. Hulbee implements this idea in a more different way, however, it is the search results that count.

Google also has come up with a new search feature similar to cloud search, which is called Wonder Wheel, which can be accessed by clicking on "Show options" link located on the top left of your search results. It will help you search and refine your results by clicking and navigating among queries suggested by Google.

How to keep your system updated automatically?

We have lot of applications installed in our computer. Most of the applications like browsers, anitviruses, firewalls, and others need to be updated to render maximum performance. Otherwise, these applications become outdated and our system will become vulnerable to malicious attacks. Manually updating applications in our system is a monotonous task.
A update tool is a software that will automate the process of updating applications running in your system. It will scan all the applications running in your system and will display available updates and patches for them. Not only that with the click of a button all these updates will be downloaded and applied to respective applications. I will tell you about some update tools that will help you keep your system and its applications updated and secure.

SUMo
SUMo tops in my list of the best update tool with a huge database of about 90,000 applications. So you will definitely find no problem in getting updates for all the applications installed in your system. It even has updates for other update tools that I will mention in the rest of this post. After starting SUMo click on the "Scan" button to start the scanning process. SUMo will list the applications installed in your system and specifies all the ones where an update is available. SUMo will not install the updates for you. Instead, it only notify you when updates are available. This is a major drawback of SUMo. SUMo is the application with the highest application detection rate than any other update tool. So if you need a tool that can detect updates then this tool is for you.

UpdateStar
UpdateStar is second to none when it comes to keep your system updated. It has a nice and cool interface. It is an amazing tool that will detect updates and download those updates for you and help to keep your system secure. It also has a huge database of about 80,000 applications to its credit. But the detection rate is bit low when compared to SUMo just because it only can list applications registered in the system control registry. Otherwise, does a good job and worth a try.

Update Checker
Update Checker is a update tool from Filehippo.com. Update Checker can scan for applications installed in your system and display updates in a Web page interface. You just have to click on the download icon to download a update. Update Checker can detect only 200 programs and only detects programs installed in the system control registry. But Update Checker includes updates for almost all popular applications including lot of freeware applications. Update Checker is a simple yet powerful update checker you ever need.

Personal Software Inspector
Personal Software Inspector is an all in one update tool that will keep your system secure. This is not just a update tool, but also a security tool that will help you close all the loop holes in your system by which malicious programs enter your system.
PSI is the software update tool from Secuna, which has a intuitive interface. It will help you patch applications there by keeping your system secure. The program has a database of just 4500 applications, but includes all major applications and does a good job in keeping your system up-to-date. PSI first scans for applications and its versions installed in your system. It then sends a report along with a signature of each application to the Secuna server, where it is compared against a database. PSI then presents you with detailed report of which applications are unsafe and needs an update. A wizard will help you install updates for the insecure version of application installed in your system. This is the best update tool I ever know and I highly recommend this tool for you.

Software-UpToDate
Software-UpToDate is the last, but not the least update tool in my list. SoftWare-UpToDate has a huge collection of applications in its database. It can detect applications listed in the system control registry and also will scan your registry to find applications. It then checks if updates are available for applications detected in its online database and notify you. The only drawback is that it can only detect applications and updates. It will not provide you with download link for updates. You manually have to download updates. Software-UpToDate is a nice update tool which can detect many applications and definitely worth a try.

Wyzo- the browser for download Junkies.

Wyzo is a new browsing sensation in the world of browsers. Wyzo is a Gecko browser engine based browser. So it looks like Firefox, but there are some differences in the way it looks. Otherwise, we can say that it is 90% Firefox + Extensions. The functioning of the browser, the menus, the shortcuts, and even the Firefox commands like "about:conifig" are there. So if you are a Firefox user then you will not find anything striking or new. The only difference you may feel is the look and few additional extensions, most of them are available for Firefox. Wyzo has a new theme instead of the Firefox default theme. Then it has some extensions that are quite useful and that make it Wyzo.

The most important feature of Wyzo is the main objective for which it is made, to download. Wyzo allows downloading torrents and other files much faster than Firefox. Since it supports torrents you did not need a torrent client to download torrents. The download speed you get will be much higher with the FireDownload extension. Then there is the FireTorrent extension that helps you download torrents. Another cool feature of Wyzo is Cooliris, it is previously known as PicLens. Cooliris allows you to browse thousands of websites in a 3D environment. These are the notable features of Wyzo. There is the Ctrl-Tab extension that allows you to visually navigate between open tabs and there is also widely popular addon for Firefox, FireGestures. Otherwise, it is just Firefox in disguise.

I downloaded Wyzo from their website. The browser is still in its beta and there are little little niggles when you use it. It allows me to download files much faster than with Firefox. So it really is better than Firefox in that aspect. It looks bit beautiful than Firefox. The security features are similar to Firefox. So there is nothing new or notable in that aspect and even the memory usage is also the same. The other difference I noticed is that instead of Google the default homepage of Wyzo, which is customizable, is powered by Ask. Another difference is that the "Getting Started" and "Latest Headlines" are not there in the Bookmarks Toolbar. Instead, it has bookmarks to popular websites like YouTube, YouTorrent, Flickr, Amazon, Myspace, Facebook, and digg.
In my opinion, Wyzo is for those who need the security features of Firefox along with some download speed. It comes preloaded with great extensions like Cooliris, Firedownload, FireTorrent etc. So you did not have to download them separately! Overall, it is a nice experiment and a good hack of Firefox made for download junkies.

Amazon Kindle 2

The new Amazon kindle, a super slim and elegantly designed Book reader is all set to release this year. Kindle 2 seems to give more importance to beauty than any thing else in its new avatar. The smooth and brushed white metal finish with white curvy edges and slim design may make us think it is an "Apple reader" at first sight.

Kindle 2 has some cool features while it has dumped some of its features in the older versions. The new Kindle comes with a 6-inch screen with a 16-tone gray scale e-link display. This seems good, but still there is flicker between pages. It still needs some time to flick between pages. Reading the text with Kindle is still a great experience because it was such an amazing gadget. When talking of Kindle, it is from Amazon a place to buy products online securely and easily. Kindle is also best at this, buying books. Purchasing books and magazines from Kindle 2 can be done easily by clicking on the 3-G link.
You can use Kindle 2 to share your books between multiple devices through Whispersync. This allows you to buy book using Kindle and read it on any device you prefer. Kindle 2 now has text-to-speech support, which is exceptional. This gives more value to you as a user. The text-to-speech engine will read books for you and you need not have to strain your eyes much. The scroll wheels have vanished and instead you have super sensitive buttons to navigate from one page to other. The removable battery has gone and as has the SD slot.
Browsing the web with Kindle still remains a dream. Kindle 2 also bears the same burden. It is slow and really crawls at times. Loading PDFs from the web is still a problem. The e-link display needs to improve and the text appears softer. The image display quality has improved to 16-shade gray scale, which is a great improvement. Then the pricing of titles is very high. You have to pay up to Euro10 a pop.
The Kindle has changed its face in Kindle 2. I think you will love the super-slim, sleek, and light-weight design. With Wi-Fi, great storage space, and elegant design Kindle is everyone’s’ dream reader.
Features
*Battery life-2 weeks with Wi-Fi off
*Storage- 2GB
*Dimension-203x135x9 1mm
*Weight-290g
*Whispersync
*Text-to-speech functionality
*Easy navigation with super-sensitive buttons.

The expected price is between $300-$350.

Google Docs can be used to edit Microsoft Word and Excel Files.

Google Doc is the most popular online document processing tool. Google Docs now supports Microsoft Word and Excel Files. You can upload these files and Google Docs will automatically convert these files so that you can edit them online.
The only problem is that the document will appear without some formatting settings you have applied to your Word or Excel document. After Google Docs have successfully converted your document you can edit it in Docs.

I have uploaded a Word 2007 document that I received via email and Google Docs converted it for me. The only few things missing in the document were the formatting settings. The Word and Excel formats that Google Docs supports are .docx and .xlsx. Docs already supports .ppt file format. This is a good news for everyone because we no longer need a Word viewer or Excel viewer and view and edit our files online anytime or anywhere. Since formatting options are not supported you can only use Docs to convert unformatted .docx or .xls files.

How to play any video or audio file in your computer?

If you want to play a particular video or audio you have to implement the suitable codec. If you did not have the right codec then you will not be able to play it. Most players like Windows Media Player, Winamp etc can play different multimedia formats for you. But many times these players cannot be able to play some audio or video files and will ask you to install the codec needed to play that file. I will tell you about some free and very useful players that you can use to play any multimedia format in your computer. You can use these players not because the above mentioned players did not have the capability to play them. Instead there are free and light weight alternatives for these players which you can use to play any audio or video format.

QuickTime Alternative
QuickTime is the most popular streaming video and audio format on the internet. You have to install the QuickTime player in order to view QuickTime (.MOV) videos. The QuickTime player is free to use, but there are some restrictions and you can only view the file and cannot be able to download it. You can use QuickTime alternative to play and download .MOV files and it is free to use and light weight.

Real Alternative
Real video format (.RA and .RAM) is also one of the most popular media formats. You have to install Real Player to watch these videos online. There is an alternative that you can use to play this format without installing Real Player and it is called Real Alternative.

SMPlayer
For a long time I am looking for a player that can play any format. Unfortunately, I need a different player for playing some other formats like .flv files. I am looking for a player that can play these kind of video and audio files too and I found one. That is called SMPlayer. SMPlayer, in my experience can play virtually any format I want. It can play .mov, .ra, .ram, .flv, and lot of other formats. This is the best player I ever know that can play these many different formats. This is functionally the best player that I have used. So if you are looking for a free and light weight player for playing any files then you can use this without installing any codec.

Note: Still you cannot play some formats then try installing codec packs like KLite Mega Codec Pack.

Ambiently-The discovery Search Engine


Search engines are experimenting with new technologies to provide users with precise results. Searching the web is like finding new ways to easily access what you are searching for. We as users explore and experiment using keywords. So for a user using the right keywords is the way to find what he is searching for. A user generally searches for accessing or concentrating on a particular topic. He generally wants to find answers to his questions. So he wants more choices. A search engine provides users with relevant results, but it is possible that there may be at least a few irrelevant search results. As we navigate through results for a particular keyword from one page to other we become more and more distant from the topic we are searching for. That is the number of irrelevant search results increases.
A new kind of search engines are emerging that will try to provide users with more relevant and related search results as possible as they can and they are known as discovery search engines. A discovery search engine is not like an ordinary search engine. It did not try to provide users with pages that are related to a particular keyword; instead they will provide users with results based on the web pages they are currently visiting. So it can be called as a "real time" search result generation engine. In order to get a web page as a result you either have to enter the URL of the web page or type a keyword related to that page in a search engine. Then only you can use a discovery search engine to discover new pages similar to that web page. So a discovery search engine cannot be used as a "primary search engine". It is a "secondary search engine" because you have to start your search with a keyword typed in a search engine like Google or Yahoo etc. When you get a relevant result from these search engines, and you click on that link to land on that page, from there on you can use a discovery search engine to discover and explore more pages like the web page you are currently visiting.
Ambiently
Ambiently is a discovery search engine in its beta. It is considered as the first discovery search engine in the world, but anyway it is the most popular discovery search engine now. Getting started with Ambiently is very easy. First point your browser to Ambiently website. There you will see a small button on the left side at the top.

You have to drag and drop this link button into the navigation bar of your browser or bookmark it. Now like what I have said before start your search with Google or other search engine and when you land on a web page just click on the Ambient Page button to get an Ambient page similar to that web page. There is a small Jump button that you will see on the right side of links generated by Ambient. When you click on this button you can get results similar to a web page link without directly landing on that page. This will help you find what you are searching for more easily.
Benefits of Ambiently
What is the use of a discovery search engine like Ambiently? The web has a complex structure. The information we want did not reside on a single page. It is scattered among different pages on different websites. A search engine cannot index all these pages. The probability of these pages appearing in a search result depends on the keyword used to describe that page, page rank, and lot of other features. So if the page is not optimized to be crawled by search engines the possibility of that link appearing in a search engine is nil. Most importantly it depends on the keywords you use. If the keywords you used to search a term is similar to the page containing the information you want, then only you got that page as search result.




There remains lot of Web Pages that are not properly indexed or unknown by search engines because of these. This is where discovery search engines come into play. A discovery search engine tries to break the "right keyword" barrier between a search engine and a user there by providing them with more relevant search results.
What Ambiently do?
According to the creators of Ambienlty:"Most obviously, Ambiently is simpler than a search engine. On a search engine, you need to think of a good query and type it into a search box. Using Ambiently, all these steps are unnecessary. With Ambiently, all you need to do is to click a button. That action leads to a list of web links related to the current web page. In other words, every web page now is an automated "search engine" for a special topic, i.e., the topic of the page.

One of the biggest problems with today’s search experience is that we often know roughly what we want but cannot easily think of the right query. Sometimes our need is broader than a simple query can describe. With Ambiently, this action is not necessary. You get relevant web information by one click.

Using a search engine, you get web links related to your query. However, you also get web links related to the Web Pages you are reading, viewing, or enjoying. As the noted author Peter Morville said, the future of search will be "a future where search and browsing work together." Ambiently is doing just that."

How to create a Music Studio in your house?

A home music studio helps you edit and create music at your own home like a pro. Here is how to setup convert your computer into music engine.
You need the following components to get started.
1. A computer with decent configuration.
2. Sound card
3. Speaker
4. MIDI Keyboard
5. Adobe Audition
6. Head Phone

The computer system not only has a good configuration but also has addition features like CD/DVD writer and a 240GB hard disk is recommended. The sound cards and speakers should be of good quality. The quality of these two components are very important because they play an important role in deciding the Input and Output sound quality. A sound card inbuilt in your PC is not suitable for music editing. You can opt for some other sound cards like . Most of them are really cheap and if you the money you can opt for high end sound cards.

Speakers output sound and you need a good speaker to determine the output sound quality. A MIDI keyboard is a must for music creation. Most modern keyboards support MIDI and if your keyboard did not support MIDI then you can get one easily. With a MIDI keyboard you can play keyboard, guitar, drums, flute, and lot of other music devices just using your keyboard.

To record sound you need a good headphone. Try to select the best quality headphones always. They are not just listening devices, but also recording devices. If the headphones are of poor quality hence will the quality of music.

Another very important thing you need is a music recording and editing software. There are lot of software tools available out there. If you are a beginner or professional, I recommend Adobe Audition, which is the best music recording tool I ever know. It is fun and easy to use. No prior training is needed to record and create music with Adobe Audition. If you are a podcaster then this tool will be the most indispensable part of your life.

Finally, you need a clean and lonely room to get started. The room should be without any background noises or disturbing sounds. This is very important if you want to setup a home music studio. If you have all the above components then you can easily start your own home music studio.

How to convert your files online?

Online applications can be used to convert your files to different formats . The benefit of using such services is that you did not have to pay for using many of these services. There are some incredibly useful sites that will help you convert your file online. Here I will mention some of the most popular file conversion tools online.

Zamzar: Zamzar is the most popular file conversion tool online. Zamzar is not a completely free file conversion site, but the basic service is free. You can convert 5 files of 100MB size at a time. It allows you to convert your files to lot of popular formats. It also supports video conversion. You can also become a paid user by paying a monthly fee. This will help you do unlimited file conversion and access to online storage space for storing your files.

Mediaconvertor: Mediaconverter is a one stop solution for your audio and video file conversion needs. It allows you to convert your videos and audios to almost every popular format. You just have to upload your file and select the format to which you want to convert your file. The service is bit slow, but still does a good job considering the fact it is completely free. You can also convert videos from YouTube, Metacafe, and other popular video sharing sites by providing their URL and pressing the convert button. It also allows sharing of converted files.

Freefileconvert: Freefileconvert is another great tool you can use to convert your files online. It supports about 30 different file formats and the file upload limit is 100MB. It also supports video file conversion. So you can upload a video file up to 100 MB and convert it to your preferred format. Freefilecovert is the best video converter I ever know. The features it offer is simply stunning. You can not only upload large video files but also decide the quality of your file by specifying whether the file is to be compressed or not. If you allow compression the file size can be reduced. You can also use it as an online downloader for YouTube. You simply have to enter the URL of a YouTube video in order to convert it.

Primopdf: PrimoPdf is an online tool to convert your documents to PDF. PDF is the most popular document format on the web. So it is the best format for sharing your files online. You can use Primopdf to convert any type of document to PDF using this online service. In order to convert a file you have to either upload the file or provide a URL of the file. After successful completion of conversion of the file it will be sent to you as e-mail. Since Primopdf allows document conversion only, the file upload limit is 5 MB which I think is pretty good.

Vixy: Vixy is an online file converter with a difference. Vixy allows you to convert .flv videos to be played in portable devices like iPhone, and other portable devices. In order to convert a file online you just have to enter the direct URL of the flv file and select the format to which you want to convert your file. The conversion tool is free to use and there are no restrictions.

Youconvertit: Youconvertit is your ultimate destination for converting files into different formats. This is an online tool which allows you to convert files to virtually any format. So if you did not find the format to which you want to convert your file anywhere, then just visit Youconvertit. It also allows you to send the converted files as e-mail.

Rapidshare download manager JDownloader

There are lot of download managers that offer you the facility to download files from Rapidshare. If you are a premium member you can use any download manager to download your files. If you are a free user you cannot use a download manager to download files. Even if you download the file there is no guarantee that the file works because the file hosters are making constant modifications to prevent these kind of downloads. So if one download manager works for a day then it is unsure that it may work for any longer.

My quest for the best, free, and most importantly a working download manager for free is almost in vain. It is recently that I heard about JDownloader, which is a free download manager with lot of features and that supports not just Rapidshare, but over 100 different other file sharing services. So I decided to try JDownloader to download some files from Rapidshare.
Downloading files with JDownloader is easy and it also offers you a lot of benefits. First you can copy the DDL link to a Rapidshare and paste it in JDownloader to download it. You can also drag and drop the link into JDownloader. You can paste as many links as you can and each file will be downloaded one after the other. Another great benefit is that you did not have to fill captchas or remain in queue to download a file. JDownloader will automatically do this task for you.

Amazing features of JDownloader.
JDownloader has so many features that you cannot expect from a free Rapidshare download manager. The first and the foremost thing is that it is free and open source. It can auto complete captchas in about 26 different file hosting services and it supports more than 100 one-click filehosters. It allows you to create a list of files by copying and pasting the file into JDowloader or you can make it automatically do this by allowing it to monitor your clipboard. It also allows you to download multiple files from multiple filehosters simultaneously. It has a reconnect feature which will be configured so that DSL users can automatically obtain an IP. It has lot of other features like a file upacker, a password list manager, plugin support, and even allows you to select a preferred server from a particular filehoster.

After you have downloaded JDownloader you have to run the file named "JDownloader.jar” to start the installation process. Then you have to select the download location for all your files. Before installing JDownlaoder make sure that you have installed the latest JRE in your computer.

Now you can start downloading files with Rapidshare. It is pretty cool and easy. Before you start downloading files you have to accept the Terms of Services for all file hosting services. It may take some time before a download starts because if you are a free user then waiting time cannot be bypassed. But you did not have to intervene in the download process. The files will be downloaded automatically once the waiting time is over. A very important thing you have to do is, whenever JDownloader prompts you to update it, then do it because otherwise it may not work. These updates are patches for different new features and modifications to bypass JDownloader included to a file hosting service. You have to update JDownloader frequently to continue downloading files for free.

JDownloader is the best Rapidshare downloader you can get and it is completely free and open source. You can download this handy application here. Linux users can visit this link to download JDownlaoder.
