Download Microsoft Kodu programming language


             Kodu is a visual programming language from Microsoft specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone.If you are interested in games, and want to create your video games kinda cool games then Microsoft Kodu is must try.
Here's why :
Microsoft Kodu is based on Kodu language which is a visual programming language for game developers. Those who know about game programming can use MicroSoft Kodu for creating small and rich environmental games.
Key Features:

  • End-to-End creative environment for designing, building, and playing your own new games.
  • High-level language incorporates real-world primitives: collision, color, vision
  • Runs on Xbox 360, PC
  • Interactive terrain editor
  • Bridge and path builder
  • Terrain editor - create worlds of arbitrary shape , size
  • 20 different characters with different abilities

The core of the Kodu project is the programming user interface. The language is simple and entirely icon-based. Programs are composed of pages, which are broken down into rules, which are further divided into conditions and actions.
Designed specifically for game development and provides specialized primitives derived from gaming scenarios.
Programs are expressed in physical terms, using concepts like vision, hearing, and time to control character behavior.
While not as general-purpose as classical programming languages, Kodu can express advanced game design concepts in a simple, direct, and intuitive manner.

Access multiple msn ,hotmail , live accounts


              Only one msn , hotmail or live  account can be opened [for chatting] in one OS unlike Gmail and Yahoo , not if considered via opening in only one browser , but for chatting , only one account id can be signed in , and if you open another id through browser , the windows messenger gets logged out ! and signed in through the account used in browser !


For this ,
Messenger Plus live is required !
It's a free add on [but ads are shown at startup] integrated with Window Live Messenger enhanced with  hundreds of features and many  possibilities of Messenger and make your experience a lot more entertaining!

The best Main feature i love this Addon is that i can chat with many idz all at once , as i have 4 different idz , i can open all at once and easily chat ! , which was not possible without this addon .

Other great features are ,
 
1>Log Search
Messenger Plus! now lets you search straight from the Log Viewer, indexing all your conversations automatically.

2>Messenger Skinning
  • Completely change the look of your Messenger windows with easy-to-install skins.
  • Recent contact events appear in conversation windowsContact List Clean-Up now lets you view a list of the contacts that have you in their list, random sounds can now be added from the Sound Library window

3>Tabbed Chats

  • Use a tabbed web browser? why not use the same thing for your conversations?
  • All your chat windows can now be grouped into a better single one. 
  • Different positions, different options, this feature is yours to customize. 

4>Custom Sounds
  • The Custom Emotion Sounds feature allows users to send their own pre-recorded sounds during a conversation. 
  • Sounds are played instantly on both ends and are transferred automatically and transparently when needed. 
  • Millions of sounds are already available in every category imaginable, all you need is a couple of sound packs to start your private collection. 
  • New emotion sounds can also easily be created from existing sound files (such as MP3s) or recorded live from a microphone or another audio source.


5>Messenger Lock
  • Be it for security/privacy in shared computer environments or for avoiding your boss (which would be wrong... ;-), this feature lets you lock Messenger with a simple keyboard shortcut and hide it in the system tray with an inconspicuous icon. 
  • Messenger can then be password protected and messages can automatically be sent to your contacts to inform them of a lock or unlock.
Note :
It works only for Windows !
And of course , Its free ! , but you should have latest version of msn messenger , otherwise you will need to update it , but if you are using pirated version of windows OS , you are bound to get screwed :P
For genuine windows users and for those who have made it genuine , here's the link
Download Messenger Plus Live

Preview Microsoft Office 2010



 Microsoft® Office 2010 gives you rich and powerful new ways to deliver your best work - whether you’re at work, home, or school - on a computer, Web browser, or Smartphone.
  Microsoft has offered a free web-based version of its Office productivity suite, known as Office Web Apps, that will debut with the release of Office 2010.



 Here are Office 2010 Applications : [in all 13]

    * Word 2010
    * Excel® 2010
    * PowerPoint® 2010
    * Outlook® 2010
    * OneNote® 2010
    * Publisher 2010
    * Access® 2010
    * InfoPath® 2010
    * Office Communicator 2007 R2
    * SharePoint Workspace 2010
    * Visio® 2010
    * Office Web Apps
    * Office Mobile

Office Web Apps will include online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The web apps will allow sharing and collaboration of documents and files and also feature user interfaces similar to their desktop counterparts. Office Web Apps will be available for free on all popular browsers on Mac, Linux or Windows PC.
Microsoft is expected to ship Office Web Apps alongside Microsoft Office 2010 sometime next year and this preview is only for people residing in United States , but now even you can try it out even if staying in different location using this simple hack :P

  • Create a Windows Live ID (hotmail.com or msn.com or live.com ) if you don’t have one already or if your existing Live ID uses a country other than US.
    While signing up,  select  "United States" for the Country . 
  • You may better put NewYork for the State field in mentioned province/state box and 10001 for the Zip Code or if other pincode of another province is known , enter that !
  • Go to skydrive.live.com and sign in with your Windows Live ID.
    Click the Documents folder and upload any file to this folder though "Add Files" .


Once the document is uploaded,
you’ll see an invitation to join the Office Web Apps preview program.
An invitation to beta test Office Web Apps should appear by now.
Accept the EULA and you’re all set to use Office Web Apps namely word , powerpoint ,excel and onenote !

Google showing options to search other search engines


You need to open this image in a new tab to see it clearly ! idea
During googling my blog QWERTYWEB i just saw this notice :


Try your search on Yahoo, Ask, AllTheWeb, Live, Lycos, Technorati, Wikipedia, Bloglines, Altavista, A9, GoodSearch




Google is driving lots of traffic and promoting search engines ! eek

Even rival Bing and Yahoo , idonno why , maybe it has done an agreement or shows this option because i got DO YOU MEAN " QWERTY " ? because qwerty is common word and more popular !

But no !
Even when i googled GOOGLE , i still saw same notice notice ,

How to unlock right clicking on locked websites inIE6 +



Almost all blogs are now making right click function disabled when we visit their blog , so that people do not copy the articles posted by them ,ie right click function of the mouse button so that it gives the option of COPY when we drag selected area and PASTE somewhere else or PICTURES ,that people use it without taking permission which may be copywritted too , which is what not very good as sometimes we may want to read that being OFFLINE or later . Overall, it disables ALL right-click functionality: copy, paste, open in new window.So if you are an Inter Explorer surfer , IE6+ , here's a tutorial for you

Just 6 steps



  1. Click “Tools”------->>>”Internet Options
  2. Click the “Security” tab
  3. Click “Custom Level
  4. Scroll down to the “Scripting” section
  5. Set “Active Scripting” to “disable
  6. Click “Ok



And this is necessary to do even when you don't want to copy because according to zdnet.com ,

A supercritical zero-day IE flaw has been released in to the wild by a reckless British company and there are no patches available

You must disable "Active Scripting" on all Windows computers running Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 even if you have Windows XP SP2 installed. see this page for more instructions http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/index.php?p=133

Download TORRENT files right through Firefox browser addon without any software


Great news for people who loves downloading through torrents !
Now you can download huge torrents without uploading !!
originally with torrent software like bittorrent ,vuze ,utorrent ; the torrnt you download is not only downloaded by you ; its downloaded by other people as group sharing and your torrent software uploads some amount of data of your downloading torrent ,thus making shot in bandwidth of your home internet connection , reduction more speed and that makes you wonder why lots of time is required for that
If you are a Firefox user , download an addon called FIRETORRENT , so that when you click on downloading a torrent file ,it doesnt need any software and the main file starts downloading automatically !! It works with any OS ,limux ,windows ,mac you can see that in Downloads window in firefox , you can even pause it ! and resume it anytime ,whatmore ! when you download through torrent software ,it consumes lots of RAM on your pc making it lil bit slow ! this takes only firefox process
You can download with max speed upto 100 or 150 kbps with torrrent software for people with internet speed upto 2mbps ,but right after adding this addon ,the file starts downloading with 200kbps zapping speed !! ,but if you want to surf too while downloading just open another browser like chrome or opera ,as this will enable your torrent file to download more fastly and wont take too much load on firefox.exe process !

Windows 7 Beta performance - Comparison to Microsoft Windows Vista.....

Generally speaking, the performance is almost identical to Vista with an exception made for gaming, but we're putting that down to driver optimisations at the moment.For the most part the benchmarks flicker back and forth between Vista and Windows 7 with no outright winner. There are a few concerns we have at this time though - file compression tests are notably and consistently slower and network copy performance is very slightly slower as well. However, on the plus side, the simple file copy testing is faster than in Vista and boot times are notably improved.



Windows 7 is supposed to be much more lightweight, too, and we've seen it running on Atom-based machines without too much trouble. We've obviously tested here with an incredibly high-end system and so the performance differences may not be as noticeable at this end of the spectrum. Where the optimisations might make more of a telling difference is at the lower end of the scale, where hardware performance is very much the bottleneck of your experience with an operating system like Windows Vista or Windows 7. 


Microsoft made some fairly bold claims during its WinHEC conference last year that Windows 7 would include optimizations that are designed to improve the performance and reliability of Solid State Drives. The operating system is supposed to be able to detect the use of Solid State Drives and once identified, change some settings, compared to the way traditional magnetic hard disk drives are handled.

One of the first changes upon detection is turning off defrag. Because Solid State Drives store data differently, defrag tools will have little to no effect on performance improvements. This is also especially because SSDs are much faster than normal hard drives. The second optimization is the "Trim" feature, which is designed to keep the SSDs unused storage area as free as possible, hence creating more room for device wear leveling. There are probably other subtle tweaks under the hood of W7 as well, but we haven't got all the details in as yet.

We have gotten hold of the Windows 7 BETA and today we are going to compare the performance of single SSD as well as RAID 0 SSD in W7 and Vista SP1. Keep in mind this is just a first look; Microsoft may still and probably will provide further performance optimizations for SSDs under the final shipping version of W7 and this is merely a look at the performance difference so far. We didn't even install any new drivers on our W7 beta install - just ran with what was built-in, so it is a good raw look at things currently as they stand.
