Firefox Mobile for Symbian coming in 2009

If you're a smartphone browsing type, one of the more challenging aspects has long been that there's not a whole lot of choice in the mobile browsing arena, with many users sticking with their default browser; if you wanted choice, there was Opera Mobile, and that's about it.

Mozilla has a team responsible for mobile Firefox development,under the product name Fennec. Why Fennec? Well, the Fennec Fox is a smaller member of the fox family, or in other words, a smaller version of Firefox. This is apparently what passes for punnery in the development community.

Open-source software development initiative Mozilla expects to finalize development of its mobile Firefox browser on the Symbian platform by the middle of next year, according to a blog post by Christian Sejersen, Mozilla's director of mobile engineering.

Earlier this year, the company said it is in informal talks with mobile operators about its free Mobile Firefox browser. At the time, Mozilla said it would release mobile browsers for the Linux and Windows Mobile operating systems.

Next generation of Windows Live application suite now available

Microsoft> on Monday announced the release of a final "refresh" of its beta Windows Live Essentials applications.

The updated applications include Windows Live Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Writer, Toolbar, and Family Safety, according to the Windows Experience blog.

The applications will become key to Microsoft's Windows 7, which will not ship with e-mail reading software and other conveniences traditionally included with Windows.

The blog post offers little by way of explaining the changes, except to say that the developers are "getting very close to the final release" and want to make sure the software is stable.

"Beginning on December 15, we are giving existing beta customers the ability to download the latest version of the Windows Live Essentials suite as a means to get feedback on the changes that we've made to date and confirm that the applications will be ready for full-scale release in the coming months," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an e-mail.

The updates include some minor changes, such as the way signature sounds are handled, but major features remain the same. The software is available for download from download.live.com.

The versions released today aren't dramatically different from the Windows Live Wave 3 apps w But Microsoft says the latest beta refresh means that the company is almost ready to take the beta label away and say that the Windows Live Essentials apps are ready to call final.

There is, however, a rather lengthy list of known issues, especially for users who are running Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2. So you might want to check out the release notes and system requirements before installing Windows Live Essentials.

Tips of How to Prevent Your Gmail from Being Hacked by Phishers

Nowadays it is very common to hear about online security vulnerability with email and domains being stolen by unauthorized third parties. As a frequent internet surfer, how are you going to ensure your Gmail is safe from being attacked by phishers and prevent your private information from being stolen by third parties?

You never know or suspect the email is actually sent by phisher as the web page looks like a legitimate site you have visited before. Phishers can imitate as banks, email, online merchants, payment services providers and even governments that you may be confused with what they have claimed and follow the instructions to enter your username, password and other private information on the site. All these information can be used by phishers to steal your bank money, open new credit card applications under your name and etc. In order to prevent or minimize such incident from happening, there are few tips you can apply to prevent phishers’ attacks:

• Examine if there are any suspicious filters which are not created by you
Access to your Gmail account, go to Setting -> Filters, then verify if there are any filters which are not created by you. Delete them right away if there is any.

• Disable Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Access to your Gmail account, go to Setting -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP, disable forwarding, POP and IMAP if you have not used them.

• Be alert when being asked for sensitive information.
Any email or link in the email asking about your user name, password, bank account number or other personal information need to be cautious before submitting those information. Bear in mind that most of the legitimate websites never ask for sensitive information through this channel.

• Do not click on suspicious links in email
If you receive an email asking for private information from a organization which you know of, instead of clicking on the link directly from the email, go to the organization website directly by typing the address in URL. If there is something you need to do, usually there will be an announcement on the homepage. If you can’t find any information from the homepage, don’t hesitate to call the respective party to find out more.

• Use a browser that has a phishing filter
Use the the latest versions of browsers such as Firefox 3.x,Internet Explorer 7 and Opera 9.x which have included phishing filters for safer web browsing experience without being interrupted by these kind of phishing activities.

• Do not be deceived by “great offers” or fantastic advertisement
Whenever you have received any online offers and requires you to enter private information, don’t be too excited and make sure that it is really safe or try to find more information.

Turn Windows Vista Into Windows 7

If you are a Windows Vista user and cannot wait another year before Windows 7 arrives you might want to pimp your operating system to look and feel like Windows 7. The following article is a guideline (originally posted by Martin Brinkmann-Windows7 News-Props) on how to tweak several areas of the Windows Vista interface to resemble Windows 7. Some changes, like a new wallpaper, do not tinker with system data at all while other changes require to patch system files so that the changes can be applied. It would therefor be a good idea to create a system restore point or backup before you continue reading and applying.

Here is what you do:

Install the Windows 7 theme
Install the Windows 7 boot screen
Install the Windows 7 login screen
Install one of the Windows 7 wallpapers
Add Aero Shake to Windows Vista
Add Aero Snap to Windows Vista
Add the Windows 7 Calculator to Windows Vista

1. Install the Windows 7 theme

Download: Windows 7 Vista Style http://giannisgx89.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Vista-Style-FINAL-102269037
Adding another theme to Windows Vista can only be done if several system files are patched first. You can find instructions on how to patch a system file at uxtheme.dll patcher or directly download the required files for your operating system here. http://www.withinwindows.com/uxtheme-patches/

The Windows 7 Vista Style theme has to be downloaded and unpacked on the system. The whole directory has to be moved into the directory C:\Windows\Resources\Themes if Windows Vista is installed on drive c:. The theme can then be selected by clicking on the Windows 7.msstyles file in the Windows 7 folder of the theme. Go here for more Windows 7 Themes: http://windows7news.com/windows-7-theme/

2. Install the Windows 7 boot screen

Download Windows 7 Boot Screen for Windows Vista: http://vishal-gupta.deviantart.com/art/Windows7-Boot-Screen-for-Vista-102728909
The zip comes with two files: VistaVG Seven Boot Screen for Vista.tbs which can be used with the Tuneup Utilities or winload.exe.mui which can be used if the Tuneup Utilities are not installed on the system. Using the winload.exe.mui file requires to replace the original file located in the system32\en-US\ folder with the one downloaded. You need to take ownership of the file by right-clicking it in system32\en-US\ to be able to replace it with the new one. It might be a good idea to backup the file before replacing it. You could also move the old file out of the folder and the new file in. Restart the computer system to see the new boot screen. You might need to enable No Gui Boot in the Boot tab of msconfig.

3. Install the Windows 7 login screen

Download: Windows 7 Login Screen: http://pugalenthi.deviantart.com/art/Windows-7-Login-Screen-102320932
Download the file from the link above and unpack it on the hard drive. Start by installing Logonvista (LogonStudioVista.exe). Start the application afterwords and load the Windows7.logonvista file.Then take permission for basebrd.dll which is located in c:\windows\branding\basebrd\basebrd.dll and replace it with the one in the dll folder of the unpacked file. It is again advised to backup the file before replacing it. Logout to see the changes.

4. Install Windows 7 Wallpapers

Download: Here: http://depositfiles.com/en/files/mlcm455zw

You can view all Windows 7 wallpapers that have been installed in the M3 build of Windows 7 by following the link at the beginning.
