  If you are looking out for a new set of 2.1 Speaker System ( 2 Speakers, 1 Woofer) Zebronics Duality 5000 isin opinion surely a must try option. Though, i mention them as a 2.1 Speaker System, but in reality it definitely is a 2.2 Speaker System, that is also how the name Duality comes from. As compared to other 2.1 Speaker systems, with Zebronics Duality 5000, the subwoofer is not conventional; it has 2 drivers, aligned vertically in a column, thus its termed as Duality series.

  In a previous post i had written about the Java support coming to Google App Engine, today, Google released an early look for Java Support. Google App Engine now provides standard Java APIs and libraries, enabling Java developers to work with familiar tools and frameworks, as well as deploy their apps to any standard J2EE servlet container. App Engine's "early look" also includes an end-to-end Java solution for AJAX web applications, with a Java runtime, integration with Google Web Toolkit, and a Google Plugin for Eclipse.


• [How-To] Change File Association Types in Windows XP
  
  Posted on Saturday, April 11th, 2009 in How-To - Comments: (1)
  
  
  With Windows, when you double-click ( by default, you can definitely always modify the click properties to enable file opening on single click) a file to open it, Windows XP examines the file name extension. If Windows XP recognizes the file name extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that file name extension. This is called as Files Associations.

Do you use firefox to store your passwords?

This is a derived post from my original blog Technofriends (http://technofriends.wordpress.com)
Often when we enter our User Id and password detail to the website of our choice while browsing using Firefox, a modal dialog pops up asking us whether we would like Firefox to remember the username/password for that site.

Often, many people i know use this feature of Firefox without understanding the pain points associated with it. Let me show you how easy it is for anyone accessing your firefox to actually gain access to your Username and Password combinations.

In order to reveal the username and password combinations stored by you in Firefox follow the below mentioned steps:

• Click on Tools -> Options using the drop down menu.

• Click on Security tab within the menu shown

• Click on the tab called Show Passwords.
• A pop up called Remember Passwords opens up.

• Click on the button ‘Show Passwords’ to reveal all the saved passwords.

• Click on Hide Passwords to hide the passwords again.

So now you know, next time you go for a coffee break, ensure that you locked up your computer from the prying eyes of others.
