Removing the alien virus from my Android device. I guess the remaining things that are unhackable is BRAIN . Well, I bought this honor 7A one month ago. Everything was working properly, but suddenly one day I noticed a grey dot(picture below). At first, I thought it may be an icon of some apps. But after diving into apps section of the system and after a few google search I got stuck.  The strange thing is that you can partially control the dot by touching it to manipulate the placement of the dot. So I failed? No, I looked up into forums, clubs etc. Finally, one thing I remembered that – We can call service centers, although my previous experiences with that are of no good. The guy(customer service’s agent) told me that I should update my system and it’ll work. He also told me that it may be happening from a virus. He recommended me to update to latest build i.e   The size of the update is: 2.46 GB :D From my point, he knows nothing about bugs. Finally, I got an idea

Hi guys, I am back with one more tutorial. I have discovered it few days earlier.

How to corrupt Application files in Windows!

Image
In this article, I have used the word "application", but actually you can corrupt any files in Windows operating system. The trick is not a rocket science type. Just follow these simple steps and you are done... 1. Open up CMD(Command Prompt) as Administrator . I'm sure you know how to do this.  For Windows 7: Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt For Windows 8: Just type 'cmd' in the search window. You will get it. 2. Now, type the following line. assoc .exe=.pur 3. Hit Enter. Now, if you want to run the .exe files you will see a window like this. I have used the .pur extension because there is no such extension in Windows. The assoc stands for association. So, what does the command do? The command simply converts every .exe file into the mysterious .pur extension. And when you try to execute the application file i.e. .exe, your computer system doesn't have program to run .pur files! Thus all your application files b

The Best IDE to build the Perfect Electronics

Image
Want to build your own electronics...but stucked at software. Well in that condition you can use the Arduino IDE(Integrated Development Environment). It's open source so you don't need to buy it. Download the Arduino IDE . Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.There are many other microcontrollers and microcontroller platforms available for physical computing. Parallax Basic Stamp, Netmedia's BX-24, Phidgets, MIT's  Handy Board , and many others offer similar functionality. All of these tools take the messy details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up in an easy-to-use package. Arduino also simplifies the process of working with microcontrollers, but it offers some advantage for teachers, students, and interested amateurs over other systems: ~  Inexpe

Do we need a TOTAL RECALL?

Image
What if you get up from bed tomorrow morning and forgot  everything  about yourself...!!! This article’s title is crazy,  isn't  it? The idea came in my mind a few days ago when I am creating a password for an online account! In upcoming future, there may be some sort of technologies that can wipe our brain’s data or alter in such a way that we couldn’t remember our self’s identity, as shown in the movie “Total Recall” and others! Since the idea came to my mind, I changed some of the passwords that I already have for different purposes. So what I did? I just follow the rules of “Terminator 4: Rise of the Machines”. Remember? There is a scene in which Skynet’s operator i.e. the army general died and gave a catalogue in which all the passwords or you can tell the codes, for the underground safe house; are written. So, I open the notepad and started typing some random letters, numbers, symbols etc. by closing my eyes. Then I copied the string and made it the new password for
