Excited about the new upcoming 3D Displays? You could now see your favorite characters come out  of your tv or computer monitor. Thats great right? If you look the good sides of it then you should also consider a few things that are not. Though 3D visuals rendered by the tv screens are stunning, there are some dangers too.

When viewing 3D visuals you’re actually tricking your eyes and mind into a feeling that there is depth where there isn’t. But it begins to look less like a trick and more like a serious deception if we add two things into consideration: one, that perceiving depth is an activeprocess that involves muscles and movement, and two, vision is a learned skill.

I’ll make this much more simpler. When you focus on a nearby object say your monitor and when you look on a distant object like a tree, your eye knows to perform some transformation in your eye muscles and the lens inorder to bring those objects into focus. But, when you see an object in a movie, your eye quickly tries to adjust to that object’s distance by deforming the lenses but this doesn’t actually happen. Your brain thinks, "That car should be coming into focus!” But it doesn’t and it won’t for the foreseeable future, and meanwhile every time the focus changes, or the shot changes, or the camera moves, or the characters move, your eye is attempting to refocus, to change its shape. This creates fatigue in the muscles and confusion in the brain.

For example, you’re looking at the main character, but glance at a moving car in the background, an action which can be involuntary. When you track something coming closer to you, your eyes converge more and more until, as it comes right up to your nose, you’re maxed out, cross-eyed. But when something moves toward you in a virtual world, your eyes attempt to converge more in order to keep it centered, and it doesn’t work; they must keep the same angle of convergence the entire time. This isn’t a hard task in itself — we all keep a single state of convergence intact for long periods whenever we see a movie, read a book, or ... Read more »

If you don’t have a Windows 7 Installation CD and forgot to create a System Restore point you can still make your Windows as good as new with a few steps. It’s better to reset your PC to factory settings than reinstalling in most cases because you won’t loose any User Files and also resetting takes a lot less time(depending on the number of applications you installed and changed you made).

You can easily get rid of all the softwares you have installed since you installed Windows and also get rid of whatever toll these installations have taken on your PC.In a fresh Windows Installation unless you have a modified Windows 7 CD it will only contain softwares from Microsoft. So first thing you may think about doing is to get rid of all the softwares that you installed.  We also need to Clean the computer’s registry, remove all logs, invalid shortcuts, temporary files etc.

Just follow these steps to get your Windows as good as new:

Remove additional User accounts

Having many Users on your computer can lead to loss of a lot of memory on your Hard disk as the preferences of all the Users will be saved. So it is best to remove these additional accounts. To remove additional User accounts:

• Log into Gmail like usual. Don’t use Basic HTML version. Now near the top right corner you should be able to see "Settings”. Click on that.

Though facebook introduced automatically tagging photos, the feature is bothersome for some. Though the face recognition feature introduced by Facebook does sound cool and useful it can get very annoying for many when they get tagged a lot.To prevent  Facebook automatically tagging you in photos all you have to do is edit a few settings in your Facebook Account. It doesn’t require any special plugin for your browser or anything. So without going on about the new feature let’s begin the tutorial.

Just follow these simple steps to prevent Facebook from tagging you Automatically:

• Click on Account drop down menu and then select Privacy Settings.
• Now scroll down and click on Customize Settings. Scroll to the Things Others Sharesection and click Edit Settings near Suggest photos of me to friends. Now a dialogue box will appear as in the picture above. Just click on the drop down arrow near Enabled and change it to disabled.

It might be possible that some Internet Service Providers can reduce your download speed when they find that you are downloading bandwidth intensive files or streaming videos. It is embarrassing to see choppy video play back on you tube due to slow streaming speeds, though you have a fairly good internet connection with good speed.

Speed might be one of the main reason why you have opted for a far more expensive internet connection and still you get slow download speeds when in need? So, if you are in a similar situation, then its time to find out whether your isp is reducing your download speed.

Go To Glasnost and run a test. The test might take up to 500 seconds and it would check for both uploads and downloads separately. Glasnost also checks by running the tests using at different ports on your pc since ISPs can use port numbers or other transport protocol identifiers to check a flow’s treatment. For example, P2P traffic is sometimes identified based on its port numbers.

A java applet runs on your system to emulate the data flow that is then used by Glasnost and the results page is displayed.

You need to run the test at different times of the day mainly during peak hours and make sure you are not browsing or downloading during the test to get accurate results.

With Glasnost you can check the download speed for P2P apps like BitTorrent, eMule etc. and Email, SSH Transfer, HTTP transfer, Flash Video etc..

You might have heard about the open dns service which gave more security and more speed while browsing the web. Now Google too has come up with their new Google Public DNS. This service gives you more speed while browsing and also protects you from DNS spoofing attacks and from various other security threats. This one too look promising like the open dns.

If you don’t under stand what’s the use of it then just take a look at this.

As web pages become more complex and include more resources from multiple origin domains, clients need to perform multiple DNS lookups to render a single page.

How To Set Up and Use Google Public DNS

The average Internet user performs hundreds of DNS lookups each day, slowing down his or her browsing experience. As the web continues to grow, greater load is placed on existing DNS infrastructure.DNS lookups can become a significant bottleneck in the browsing experience. Whenever a client needs to query a DNS resolver over the network, the latency introduced can be significant, depending on the proximity and number of nameservers the resolver has to query (more than 2 is rare, but it can happen).

How to Change DNS Server to Google Public DNS in Windows XP, Vista and 7

• Go the Control Panel.Click Network and Internet, then Network and Sharing Center, then Manage network connections.
• Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. For example: To change the settings for an Ethernet connection, right-click Local Area Connection, and click Properties.
• To change the settings for a wireless connection, right-click Wireless NetworkConnection, and click Properties.
• If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

In countries like US, UK and India apple usually links up with the local telecom providers from whom you buy the iphone 4. These service providers like AT&T, airtel and vodafone sell the iphones for a price much lesser than the original and oblige you to sign contracts for few years with them inorder to use their mobile and data plans.

When you buy it from apple what you would get is a factory unlocked iphone 4which is legal and doesn’t break the warranty of the iphone4.
