into place. The shuffle stays firmly attached even with vigorous activity. A quick pull easily
removes it from the shirt.

$9 MP3 Player

For those who want a no-frills MP3 player, the Evergreen "DN 2000" is a great choice. It plays
music directly from SD-memory cards (1GB max.) and is powered by a single AAA battery for up
to 5 hours of continous playback. This player measures 58×60×13 mm and weighs 30g (without
batteries). Best of all, it costs just $9 — so you won't have to worry about it getting lost
or stolen. Source

Inflatable Massage Chair

Here's a first: a bargain-priced inflatable massage chair that can be taken anywhere — great
for the hotel room. This massage chair includes three intensity levels, nine functions, timer
control, repair kit, and remote. The electric pump (included) inflates this chair in just one

have not yet been announced, and the quality of the current engineering model is yet to be
improved. Source

Giovannoni Timesphere

The Giovannoni Timesphere is a nifty alarm clock that is capable of projecting the time onto
any surface via a wireless orb. While sitting on the base, the wireless orb is charged through
induction and once it is completely charged feel free to place it wherever. The orb will
project the time onto a wall or surface and easily be lost when kicked or played with by a
cat. Source<

Mini Desk

Made by MiniStatements, the "Mini Desk" looks good enough to drive. The entire desk is
constructed from what looks like a real Mini with its top chopped off, interior gutted, and
left door panel removed. Style doesn't come cheap, it retails at a whopping.

Safety & Security :: 7 Security Tips for Gmail

Here I have note down few tips which will help you to keep your Gmail account secure and safe.

Logging Out

Whenever not using your own computer, make sure you end you authenticated session with Google by signing out once your work is over. However if you forgot to sign out you need not panic. You could open a new session by signing in from another computer and use remote sign out to close any possibly open sessions.

Strong Password

Ordinarily you should change your password at least once a year. I definitely do. And also make sure your password is not a very easy string but a combination of characters and numbers. You could also make it more secure by using case-sensitive characters or special characters. You can read earlier tutorials on How to create strong and smart password and also check your password strength with brute force calculator.

Beware of Phishing

Always make sure of the website address in the address bar of your browser before you enter your Google account credentials. It could possibly be trying to steal your access info. If you are unsure of the page’s origin refrain from signing in there. Same goes for emails you might receiver asking for your password. Beware of these.

Use of HTTPS\

Your computer rapidly sends and receives data from the Google servers when you access your account. If you enable this service from the Settings page, your data is encrypted before transmission. You will also see the HTTPS instead of HTTP when you access Gmail site after enabling this.

Review Attachments

Although Google has inbuilt virus scan features for both incoming and outgoing attachments, still its advised not to open an attachment that you have not been expecting. It could carry malware that might harm your computer. You could mail the person back, if curious, and ask about the attachment first.

Use Authentication Icon

Recently Gmail added a new feature Authentication icon for Ebay and paypal, and we are expecting that they will increase the no. of websites in the list. In this feature any email coming from ebay or paypal site will have a verified icon else no icons means, that email is a phishing email.

Update Recovery Info

Whenever you lose access to your account, by losing the password for instance, this information comes in handy and helps you restore your account access. So make sure this info is always updated. Your security answer should be unique and should not be easily crack down using hit and trial method. You could also include a secondary email address and your mobile number where you will receive the account reset link if the need arises.

Tell us if you found any of these helpful. Or if you have any effective tips of your own do share them with us.

Safety & Security :: 5 tips to be Safe on Internet

We wrote many articles about anti-virus softwares on Shoutmeloud. The main reason for making you aware about these anti-virus softwares was to make your online surfing secure. But just downloading Anti-virus software on your system is not enough, you need to secure your system by other threats which can easily hack your personal details or confidential documents from your system. If you are connected to internet, there are chances that you might face hacking problem.

Here are 5 tips to surf online stuffs carefully and keep your system safe when connected to internet :


Avoid Using Same Password

Many of us have habit to choose same passwords for all our social media, email or bank accounts. The reason for choosing same password is that it becomes easy to remember for all our important accounts. But this habit can create a big problem for you if any one of the sites is compromised then hackers can easily find password of another account, if they are same. Try to use different passwords or you can do a bit variation in all the passwords which will make you easy to remember.

6 Ways to Boost-Up Your PC !!

Speed Up Your PC

 6 Ways to Boost-Up Your PC

No matter how quickly your computer moves, especially on the Internet, it could always move faster. :-)

Email, web surfing, downloading files (legally of course), switching between applications... none of them ever go as quickly as we want or expect.

Well, let me do my part to perpetuate this "microwave oven" mentality (why must popcorn take 3 ‡ minutes instead of 2?) by giving you some tips and hints for making your online experiences and overall computing as fast as possible (even on a dial up connection).

Hit The Accelerator

Sensing a need for faster Internet access in markets where broadband cable or DSL can´t or won´t go, Internet Service Providers (ISP´s) like NetZero offer Internet "accelerators."

Using a system of caches, compression schemes, and other technology to double or even triple your dial-up connection speeds, Internet accelerators can save you hours spent waiting for simple web pages to appear in your browser.

Though they won´t work for everyone in every single situation, check out www.netzero.com, www.propel.com and www.slipstreamdata.com for more information.

Compare Core vs CPU vs Socket vs Chip vs Processor Differences..

Since the advent of multi-core technology such as dual-cores and quad-cores there is confusion regarding what a microprocessor consists of and what is the correct terminology. Here we analyze and compare core vs cpu vs socket vs chip vs processor to define what each of these components or term represent.

Cores

Since standard microprocessors are starting to hit the heat barrier, switching and leakage power of several transistor chips are so large that cooling becomes a primary engineering effort and a commercial concern (Note: For a given semiconductor process technology, power dissipation of a modern CPU is proportional to the third power of clock frequency). On the other hand, the necessity of an ever-increasing clock frequency is driven by the insight that architectural advances and growing cache sizes alone will not be sufficient to keep up. Processor vendors therefore started looking for a way out of this power-performance dilemma in the form of multicore designs. Essentially a core comprises of a logical execution unit containing an L1 cache and functional units. Cores can independently execute process threads.

Chips or Microprocessor or CPU

A chip or CPU chip refers to the actual integrated circuit (IC) on a computer. A chip mainly refers to execution unit that can be a single core technology or a multicore technology.

Another Earth ??

Concept portrayed by Mike Cahill seems to be very interesting.. !!

But as far as I think about this movie could be a reality.. some religions give evidences for multiple existence of the same personality up to 7 times..

forget everything..
Can we use that Earth to become beneficial for us? like utilize this Earth for future prospectus too that even we don't think of another one?

Earth at 7 Billion post reflects Increase of population and utilization of Earth Resources?

Should I use Chrome or Firefox ? Chrome vs Firefox

Criteria for browser comparison
