While surfing the net , you might have come across a number of websites that force you to register before you can see their stuff , read the forum or download something . This can be quite irritating , filling out all the information plus the daily/weekly newsletter few of these sites send you is of no good either .

While stumbling , I came across a site which provides an excellent medium to retrieve and share login credintials of such sites . In short “Find and share logins for websites that force you to register” . Share your information and benefit from the information other share .

Internet can be a dangerous place . There are a number of hackers and fraudsters trying to get into your personal information .  And there is just one thing that prevents them from getting into your personal data .

Your Password

So always maintain ultra caution while choosing your password . Here are list of do’s and dont’s that you should keep in mind while setting your password :

online security

1. Keep it hard to guess : Don’t put any type of your personal information here . Neither do use the name of your favorite celebrity , book etc .

2. Be careful in choosing the security question : Security questions are used to regain your account if you loose password . Keep such a question which no one could guess but you .

3. Use a non-dictionary term : Use a term that doesn’t appear in the dictionary . Many hacking programs like Brute Force are dependent on dictionary terms to crack your password .

4. Keep a long password : A long password is always hard to crack compared to short one .

5. Mix the Case : Passwords are case sensitive . So use both upper and lower case in your password . Will be a tough task to crack .

6. Include Special characters : Use special characters like @,$,! in your password .

7. Use master password : Employ the use of strong password manager system like Mozilla Firefox employs . Very handy to manage multiple secure passwords with automate login feature .

8. Clear the cookies : If your internet connection breaks down while you were in a session and you are still logged into your account , be careful in deleting the cookies and closing your browser before leaving the desk .

9. Be careful in cyber cafes : You must have heard about keyloggers . Keylogger is a software program or hardware device that is used to monitor and log each of the keys a user types into a computer keyboard. Anyone can install it into their system to have a crack at your password . So always follow these guidelines while browsing in Cyber Cafes or public computers .

10. Use different password for different sites : Never use same password for multiple sites . That way , if one password is gone , all password are gone .

Happy Browsing !!!

Cuil – the next bIg thing

Welcome to Cuil—the world’s biggest search engine. The Internet has grown. We think it’s time search did too.

This new web tool cuil is pitched as the world’s latest, largest and swiftest search engine. Cuil was launched on Monday ( 28-7-2008 ) with 120 billion pages or ‘thrice’ the volume of the Google index.

Cuil is expected to search more web pages than Google and 10 times as many as the search engine of Microsoft.
Where Cuil scores over rivals is the way it indexes the web and handle queries by users. Both are costly operations, but Cuil claims to have found a way to slash those costs.

As a business proposition, Cuil is obviously a big bet … No other search engine has come close to entering the public consciousness like this. Of course, Cuil doesn’t have to trounce Google on day one. It took Google quite some time to surpass Alta Vista and Yahoo in the search wars

we know very well about the famous Google talk’s “show my current music status” and might be using it without any problem in Winamp although WMP needs an in activation. But after installing the latest version of Winamp 5.5, I had a few problems with the Google talk Integration.

Whenever you select the Show my current music track, Google talk either freezes or stops responding. This is actually a technical issue with Google talk or Winamp which is yet to be discovered but many users who have upgraded to Winamp 5.5 are facing this problem, so one of a guy has posted a simple resolution for fixing this bug.

The solution is:

Step 1: Go to the root directory of Winamp which is usually in C:Program FilesWinamp

Step 2: Select Tools->Folder Options->View (Tab) and uncheck the hide extensions for known file types and click Ok.

Step 3: Now create an empty file (Right click the mouse -> New -> Text document), so the default file would be like “New Text Document.txt”.

Step4: Rename the above file to “winamp.m3u” and save.

Step5: Close Winamp and Google Talk. Now open again and Your Show Current music track status should work like a charm

What is OpenID?

OpenID eliminates the need for multiple usernames across different websites, simplifying your online experience.

You get to choose the OpenID Provider that best meets your needs and most importantly that you trust. At the same time, your OpenID can stay with you, no matter which Provider you move to. And best of all, the OpenID technology is not proprietary and is completely free.

Surprise! You may already have one. If you use any of the following services, you already have your own OpenID:

AOL

Well Known & Simple Providers

If you don’t have an OpenID yet, here are a few which are generally recommended by various members of the community. In the end you should choose a Provider from a company which you trust. We realize this list isn’t perfect and plan to evolve it into a more useful tool.
