SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp. will begin testing a version of Windows XP in January on the "$100 laptop" from One Laptop Per Child.
It has taken nearly a year of engineering to get the bulky operating system to run on the low-cost XO computer, Microsoft said. The XO uses flash memory instead of a hard drive and offers less storage space than most mainstream PCs.

SEATTLE - Microsoft Corp.'s Windows XP operating system is about to get faster and Windows Vista isn't, according to a report that caused a stir online this week as industry watchers speculated that a zippier XP could keep customers from upgrading to Vista.
(MSNBC is a joint Microsoft - NBC Universal venture.)
Microsoft, however, said it's too early to evaluate the two service packs it plans to release next year.

Those entering online dating forums risk having more than their hearts stolen.
A program that can mimic online flirtation and then extract personal information from its unsuspecting conversation partners is making the rounds in Russian chat forums, according to security software firm PC Tools.
The artificial intelligence of CyberLover's automated chats is good enough that victims have a tough time distinguishing the "bot" from a real potential suitor, PC Tools said. The software can work quickly too, establishing up to 10 relationships in 30 minutes, PC Tools said. It compiles a report on every person it meets complete with name, contact information, and photos.

Terrorists beware! The bees are here
Alphonso Van Marsh
CNN
Posted Saturday , December 09, 2006 at 10:59 Updated Saturday , December 09, 2006 at 11:05
Hertfordshire (England): An ingenious new combination of nature and technology could help fight the war on terror.
A British firm has now found that a mini-army of honeybees and they could be our next defense against terror attacks on targets like airports and train stations. Bees have an intense sense of smell and scientists are training them to have a nose for explosives.
“What we do is present the smell to the bee and at the same time we give them food and so they associate that this smell, equals food. The food is sugar water served up on a q-tip,” says Development Scientist, Inscentinel, Mathilde Briens.
Here's how it works - The bees are trained to stick out their tongues when they smell explosives. The bees are strapped into a cassette and that cassette is put into this sniffer box. The sniffer box has a series of tubes exposed to the outside air. And if there is an explosive present, the bees will pick up the scent of explosives through these tubes, they will stick out their tongues. The camera inside the box captures that motion on a video.
Computer software measures when bee tongues are wagging, they alert security teams, at metro rails or roadside checkpoints.
Scientists say the bees learn to make the explosive association in about 15 minutes, a lot faster - and cheaper - than it takes to teach bomb-sniffing dogs to do the same. They also say that bombs covered in honey can’t fool bees.

Danger of 'Ctrl+C' on the Web (for IE users)
We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.
Just try this:
1) Copy any text by 'ctrl+c'
2) Click the Link: http://www.sourcecodesworld.com/special
You will see the text you copied on the Screen which was accessed by this web page. (Check it out !!)
Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, reditcard numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.
Be cautious ...
To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:
1) In Internet Explorer, Go to Tools -> Internet options -> Security
2) Press Custom level.
3) In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script and click on 'OK. (Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.)

How to find the IP address of the sender in Gmail, Yahoo! mail or Hotmail
When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP
address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender. Note that this will not work if the
sender uses anonymous proxy servers.
Finding IP address in Gmail
1. Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.
2. Open the mail.
3. To display the headers,
* Click on More options corresponding to that thread. You should get a bunch of links.
* Click on Show original
4. You should get headers like this:
Gmail headers : Jamal
Look for Received: from followed by a few hostnames and an IP address between square brackets. In this case, it is
65.119.112.245.
That is be the IP address of the sender!
5. Track the IP address of the sender
Finding IP address in Yahoo! Mail
1. Log into your Yahoo! mail with your username and password.
2. Click on Inbox or whichever folder you have stored your mail.
3. Open the mail.
4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed.To display the headers,
* Click on Options on the top-right corner
* In the Mail Options page, click on General Preferences
* Scroll down to Messages where you have the Headers option
* Make sure that Show all headers on incoming messages is selected
* Click on the Save button
* Go back to the mails and open that mail
5. You should see similar headers like this:
Yahoo! headers : Jamal
Look for Received: from followed by the IP address between square brackets [ ]. Here, it is 202.65.138.109.
That is be the IP address of the sender!
6. Track the IP address of the sender
Finding IP address in Hotmail
1. Log into your Hotmail account with your username and password.
2. Click on the Mail tab on the top.
3. Open the mail.
4. If you do not see the headers above the mail message, your headers are not displayed.To display the headers,
* Click on Options on the top-right corner
* In the Mail Options page, click on Mail Display Settings
* In Message Headers, make sure Advanced option is checked
* Click on Ok button
* Go back to the mails and open that mail
5. If you find a header with X-Originating-IP: followed by an IP address, that is the sender's IP address
Hotmail headers : Jamal ,In this case the IP address of the sender is [68.34.60.59]. Jump to step 9.
6. If you find a header with Received: from followed by a Gmail proxy like this
Hotmail headers : Jamal
Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
In this case, the IP address of the sender is [69.140.7.58]. Jump to step 9.
7. Or else if you have headers like this
Hotmail headers : Jamal
Look for Received: from followed by IP address within square brackets[].
In this case, the IP address of the sender is [61.83.145.129] (Spam mail). Jump to step 9.
8. * If you have multiple Received: from headers, eliminate the ones that have proxy.anyknownserver.com.
9. Track the IP address of the sender
You've read the reviews and digested the key feature enhancements and operational
changes. Now it's time to delve a bit deeper and uncover some of Windows XP's secrets.
1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the
Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option,
and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the
uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called
info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).
2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first.
Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type 'gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration,
Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do
not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will
reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your
computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).
3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut
on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe
user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like.
That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy
enough, Windows key + L will do the same.
4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows
Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit,
edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can
then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove
Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.
5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new
commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching
system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and
'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by
/? will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.
6. XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more
than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install'
into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the
command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't
bother.
7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using
'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by
typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.
8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On
slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u
zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back
as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.
9. XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't
have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS
and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To
enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects,
select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best
results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as
well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control
Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.
10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address
translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a
Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a
NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address -- they
can find this out by going to www.whatismyip.com -- and get them to make sure that
they've got port 3389 open on their firewall and forwarded to the errant computer.
11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again.
Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to
use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have
administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can
have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users,
but this can have unforeseen effects.
12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a
Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but
if you feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Win
The following reserved device names cannot be used as the name of a file or folder:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9.
These names are reserved because these are dos device names.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
an indian discovered that u creat con folder
follow following procedure
start -> run -> cmd
cd\
mkdir \\.\c:\con
similarly u can creat aux, nul com1, lpt1,...
delete the file or folder "rmdir \\.\c:\con"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if u want to create a folder named "con" then just make a folder
rename it with----
i am telling u the key's
C
O
N
alt+255 or alt+1023
this will append a space after con n it will look like that the folder
is hving name "con".
