ArJ.uNo

Well I am one of those people who are still keeping the 3 year old technology in their pockets. Probably because we all are waiting for the next iPhone to get launched in the market. Well the next-generation iPhone could be a revolutionary iPhone 5 or evolutionary iPhone 4S (or both), donno and we are not going to discuss about that today. But for the purpose of a mild hint we should expect it to be in the market somewhere around October (still it’s too far).

So our iPhone 3G has to survive till then (which is indeed a tedious job due to its very slow processing capability). You can’t imagine how slow this phone is, means it opens the Message App in 10 sec and even after that sending and receiving SMS is soo slow that I have planned to stop sending/receiving messages to my near ones (forget about other apps, using them is a nightmare for me).

While a vast majority of iPhone users are enjoying the new features and performance improvement in the latest iOS, some iPhone 3G users have reported that iOS 4 has slowed down their iPhone, which has forced some of them to downgrade to iPhone OS 3.1.3 (which is feature less for me now).

So after a small search over the internet I found a way to increase the speed of the phone and I am discussing it above.

Here, I would like to introduce a nice and a simple “tweek” that you can use to bump up the speed of your phone.

I started surfing over the internet and found in ModMyI forum that:

Phone 3G apparently has trouble keeping up with indexing, ever since 3.x. Two days ago, I turned off Spotlight search (Settings-General-Home Button-Spotlight search-switch off all you don’t use) because I rarely, if ever, used it.

Up to this day, my poor old 3G with iOS is way snappier than it was before, and I wouldn’t hesitate to say it’s as snappy as with 3.1.3.

So I tried disabling all the spotlight search feature in Settings>General>Home Button>Spotlight search, and now I believe that my phone is little bit faster. Although doing this will stop spotlight from searching any part of your phone but still this tweek make sense to me as I don’t use spotlight at all.

Update: In order to increase your phone’s speed you may also try the following methods:

1) Make sure that your phone have atleast 1GB free space at times, this will help your phone to make full use of the virtual memory.

2) Install SBSettings and stop processes like Safari, iPod and Mail as they run in background and slow your phone.

This is a century of computers. Nowdays even a smallest possible thing cannot be done without a computer and its a major tool of information today. I was having a laptop that was given by my company to me, but I want something that would belong to me personally. So, I started studying over the internet for things that I should consider while buying a computer system. Well I like buying things that are ultimate and can do anything and everything possible with the same. I do like gaming but its not the only thing that I like doing. My current laptop has a very simple configurations (Core 2 duo + 2GB Ram + the default Intel video card). This laptop was with me for more than a year and I did nothing to benchmark its power, just normal office stuff, that’s it.

Well for quite a while I was not able to check the progress of the technologies that exist now, and being an enthusiast I want a system that works like wow. So I started searching over the internet for a system that can fulfil my needs. First I thought to go for a branded system. In India I think Dell can only be the one that can fulfil my needs. Althought I tried for lenovo and HP also. But even Dell’s highest configs can’t match what I finally brought and apart fromt that it was still very expensive. Finally, I brought a new system with configs as follows:

1. Processor: Intel Core i7 Sandy Brigde 2600K – Unlocked 3.4Ghz (overclockable to 4.8Ghz)
2. MotherBoard: ASUS P8P67 Pro – This MotherBoard is meant to overclock processors and run them beyond their capabilities.
3. RAM: Corsiar 4GB x 2 (eql. 8GB) – 1600 Mhz
4. Graphic Card: ATI Radeon – HD 6850 – MSI Cyclone OC based, 1GB.
5. Western Digital 7200rpm – 500GB x 2, over Raid0 Hard Disks.
6. A very usual CD/DVD combo recorder cum burner from Sony.
7. Internal WiFi Card.
8. Cooler Master SMPS – 600watts
9. Cooler Master Cabinet – 430.
10. Dell 24 inch Full HD Monitor.
11. Microsoft Wireless Keyboard and Mouse v2.
12. Microtek UPS – 1000watts

The things to look above are basically the Processor, MotherBoard and Graphic Card. They are builing block and they are awesome. The Processor is world ranked #11 and #1 in terms of its Architechture. (Intel Nahelam Architechture). The mother board has all latest technologies USB 3.0, SATA @ 6GBps, Graphical BIOS evolution called UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), SLI/crossfire capable, TPU, EPU, MemOK and much more.

But what about the Headline of this post, says something Burned up.

Well this Saturday, suddenly the video went off and I couldn’t guess the reason for the same, so I opened up the cabinet to see what happening inside, everything was looking fine, except the boot light was ‘red’. Apart from that all fans were working fine, I tried switching up the RAMs and at the end the only viable option that I thought was “READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL”. So I started reading it while my computer was On. Just after five minutes the top right part of the MotherBoard (where RAM is placed) started burning. Yes, I am not exaggerating here, it seriously started burning and everything was all smoky. I pulled out the power cable as soon as I saw that. Also tried to pull out things, by that I noticed that the RAM was ‘hot’, very ‘hot’ maybe because the fire took place near it.

Well two good things during this incident were that nothing else (apart from the mother board) was damaged and I had a 3 year warranty with the mother board.

I was shocked, means look at that, bought a damm good computer just 2 weeks ago and it went into flames now. Above all the ASUS customer care  said that they will check the degree of burn and will see if its covered under warranty or I have to pay for it.

Will update on what happens next.

Well many people have asked me that what RapidLeech is and what exactly it is used for. Well in this post I will explain the needs of RapidLeech and its sources.

Well I would assume that everyone know about sites like rapidshare and megaupload (well those who don’t know, they are actually file sharing websites, mainly used to spread a file with everyone, rather spreading piracy, I don’t say spread piracy, but you like pirated products I would recommend you to buy it, as a lot of efforts is given for its creation).

Now each file sharing site usually wants you to first visit their website, check out their ads, wait a lot and then download the file, as it is obvious no-one would like you to leech their bandwidth without any income. And in the meantime they would force you to try the premium account which would ultimately cost you.

For over coming these problems RapidLeech developers created a script known as “rapidleech”. These scripts are basically the programs that bypass the barriers created by a file sharing site (by basically finding loopholes) and then letting you download the files to your systems (usually servers as they have higher bandwidth), ultimately resulting in giving you direct links that doesn’t need any problems like waiting time and you can even pause your download and start them later on. Therefore you are not at all communicating with the rapidshare (or any other file sharing site) directly, rather indirectly as you will download files from the rapidleech server(which doesn’t have restrictions like waiting time and pause restriction).

One of a good server is even hosted by MyWebStay.com here, it has five servers so that you may download many files simultaneously.

Now HOW TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF RAPIDLEECH

Suppose if you want to want to download a stuff that requires download of many files, take for example file1, file2, file3, file4, file5, file6. What you need to do is, download the first file (i.e. file1) from your computer directly, and in the meantime use rapidleech to download files to the MyWebStay.com’s server (link here). What you need to do is simply select Server1 there and put file2, then select server2 and put file3, server3 with file4, and so on.

As rapidshare (and many other file sharing sites) have some restriction of IP, many servers will help in downloading the files simultaneously due to the fact that each server has different IP.

I would recommend that you should use MegaUpload instead of RapidShare, because in my opinion its far better than RapidShare when used with rapidleech.
