VC’s Techie CockTail

Hope you techies like the “Puppy” made out of a banana picture. And here are this month dose of sms,

• Life is a rope that swings us through hope, Always believe today is better than yesterday & tomorrow will be much better than today…

• A heart melting love story:

  Boy : I cant marry you.. My family wil not accept that..

  Girl : Who are they to stop our love?

  Boy : MY WIFE and 3 CHILDREN…!

• Marriage is a book where the first page is written as poetry and the remaining pages are written as prose…!!
• Be hot as sun,
  Be cool as ice,
  Be colorful as rainbow,
  Be sweet as honey,
  Be pure as snow,
  &
  Be smart as me.

From the time I bought a video capable phone, I have started trying to experiment with different video conversion softwares. My search culminated in a software named “SUPER” . The name as it implies is a “Super” man of all converters. First of all it accepts a host of input formats like wmv,rm,avi,mpg,vob,3gp,mp4 and even flv (videos from youtube, iFilm, metacafe) to a host of output formats like Apple IPod video, Sony PSP, Mobilephone video formats like 3gp, and other common formats like wmv,rm,avi,mpg,vob,3gp,mp4 and flv.

It has a hosts of video settings like bitrate, video scale size, aspect ration and audio settings like sampling frequency, channels, bitrate. Its a simple software with a single window. Just drop the input video / audio file into the window and convert to the format which you desire. You can even extract audio from a video by just selecting mp3 as the output container.

The glitches in this software are it takes a few seconds to startup, there is also no option to cut a video file and there is no proper help as sometimes video conversion throws some error for no reason at all. Anyway for a “FREE SOFTWARE” its a Very Good software for all your video conversion needs.

Look out folks, there is a new thief in your PC which wouldn’t be detected by your antivirus / spyware etc. why ? ……here read this on

A new device has been introduced to the marketplace that is a huge danger to anyone who uses a PC that is not theirs. It is known as a key tracker and it sits between the keyboard and the PC. As can be seen in the pictures it is very discreet but is probably one of the most dangerous items of equipment to personal information that is readily available. These devices record every key that is pressed on the keyboard. Due to it’s position (it sits between the keyboard and the PC) the information is logged by the tracker before the PC knows about it and as such is very difficult for the PC to detect. They are available in both USB and PS2 formats so pretty much any PC can be logged. The user puts the tracker in line, leaves it there for a set amount of time and then retrieves it. They can then download the data onto their own PC.

If you intend to use a PC that is not yours (ie hotel business centre, internet café, airport etc) I would advise looking at the back of the PC to see if one of these trackers has been placed in line (scrambling under a desk is the better alternative to losing your email details). If you cannot get to see the back of the PC, I would suggest you don’t use it for anything personal. If a tracker is there and you do not notice it, whoever placed it there (could be any user of that PC before you) will be able to recall all of your keystrokes - logins, passwords etc.

These trackers cost less than £30 and they are definitely out there already.

In a new addition to my blog, I will try to bring in info on some new developments in the field of Gadgets and Gizmos. This month I want to bring your attention to some mobile websites which has recently come up.

• Google Picasa Mobile : Log into http://picasaweb.google.com/m/ using your phone browser. View, Share and Search for any photos using your mobile.

• Mobile YouTube : Log into http://m.youtube.com using your phone browser, where you will be able to see all the youtube clips and even upload your own video using MMS. And the best thing is that you dont need a Flash capable phone all the clips are streamed in 3GP format. But be sure to have a cheaper data plan as the videos hog a lot of bandwidth
