पिछले दशक की शुरूआत कुख्यात डॉट कॉम ध्वंस से हुई थी यानी करोड़ों कमाने का ख्वाब लेकर शुरू हुई कई वेबसाइट्स बंद हो गई। करोड़ों डालर की कीमत वाले विशाल वेब साम्राज्य भरभराकर धरती पर आ गिरे। वेब पर तुरत-फुरत खरबपति बन जाने की मृग-मरीचिका का सामना जब वास्तविकता से हुआ तो कल्पनाएं कहीं टिक नहीं पाईं।

अलबत्ता, उसके बाद इंटरनेट और वेब की दुनिया ने अपने आपको संभाला और 2001 से 2010 की अवधि उनके परिपक्व होने की अवधि मानी जा सकती है। इसी दशक में दूरसंचार क्षेत्र भी परिपक्वता की और बढ़ा और विश्व के तकरीबन हर व्यक्ति तक पहुंचने में कामयाब रहा। पहले 2जी, फिर 3जी और अब 4जी तकनीकों ने छोटे से मोबाइल फोन को संचार और मनोरंजन की हैरतअंगेज क्षमता से लैस कर दिया। दुनिया में बची-खुची दूरियां भी खत्म हो गई। टेलीप्रजेंस, वीडियो कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग, वेब कॉन्फ्रेंसिंग, वीडियो कॉलिंग और वॉयस ओवर इंटरनेट ने संचार क्षेत्र का नक्शा ही बदल दिया। ग्लोबल पोजीशनिंग सिस्टम (जीपीएस) के लोकप्रिय होने से दुनिया के चप्पे-चप्पे पर तकनीकी निगाहें गड़ गईं। गूगल अर्थ, गूगल मैप्स, माइक्रोसॉफ्ट वर्चुअल अर्थ, इसरो के भुवन और जीपीएस ने अनजाने इलाकों तक पहुंच आसान बना दी। हार्डवेयर की दुनिया में भी इस दशक में बहुत दिलचस्प और रचनात्मक प्रयोग हुए। Read the rest of this entry »

Speed up your browsing of Windows 2000 & XP machines

Here’s a great tip to speed up your browsing of Windows XP machines. Its actually a fix to a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And it turns out that you can experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network because Windows 2000 is using the extra time to search the remote computer for any Scheduled Tasks. Note that though the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000 users will experience that the actual browsing speed of both the Internet & Windows Explorers improve significantly after applying it since it doesn’t search for Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here’s how : Run Regedit and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Under that branch, select the key : {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} and delete it.

This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks. If you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can restore the key if necessary. This fix is so effective that it doesn’t require a reboot and you can almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your browsing processes.

How to Convert FAT to NTFS file system

To convert a FAT partition to NTFS, perform the following steps. Click Start, click Programs, and then click Command Prompt. In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type cmd and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CONVERT [driveletter]: /FS:NTFS. Convert.exe will attempt to convert the partition to NTFS.

Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion from FAT to NTFS is minimal, it is best to perform a full backup of the data on the drive that it is to be converted prior to executing the convert command. It is also recommended to verify the integrity of the backup before proceeding, as well as to run RDISK and update the emergency repair disk (ERD).

Indian Union Minister for IT and Communication A Raja said in a statement that the government aims to bring mobile number portability in the market by August this year.

Mobile number portability has been massively delayed and is much awaited.

This feature allows mobile users to switch their mobile service providers without changing their old numbers.

Raja said in a statement: “The mobile number portability enabling customers to retain their old number while shifting from one operator to another would be launched in major cities by August this year.”

It is likely to be launched in the major cities in the country by August. It would be further expanded to other markets at a later stage.

A lot of mobile users are stuck with their providers just because they cannot afford to change their numbers. This would be a huge relief for them.
