No one is safe on internet. Hackers, Cybererrorists or whatever you call them! Are growing and even doing the best to make malicious networks worldwide. Nowadays online threats have increased drastically. I remember, last time&#8217;s survey I read that it was found that Cyber attacks have nearly doubled in the last year. Each day user faces new viruses and Trojans in his Computic life. Each time while using Net-banking or accessing social accounts on networks such as Facebook, Twitter they get into a dilemma that whether they are safe or not. Even while purchasing stuff online they get worried about the credit card details as we fear some hacker might steal the information. Cyber attacks can be of various types such as stealing account information, credit card information, hacking computers, email accounts, etc. These attacks make us think that we are not really safe on<br /> internet. So, is there a way to protect our self online?</p><div id="attachment_3428" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3428 " title="Cyber Security" src="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/cyber_security1.gif" alt="Cyber Security" width="200" height="226" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cyber Security</p></div><p>After listening about so many attacks, you might be thinking that only possible solution to it is that we should stop using our credit card online and should close all are accounts , but is running from these things a solution? No! If you are a daily reader of our blog, then may remember that <a href="http://extremetrix.com/high-alert-for-increasing-cyber-attacks/" target="_self">CERT issued high alert for increasing Cyber Attacks</a> in April. So, to help you, our Editor came up with an article &#8220;<a href="http://extremetrix.com/how-safe-a-link-is/" target="_self">How safe a &#8216;link&#8217; is?</a>&#8221; in which he told how to check a link properly, then later on a guest came up with a post in which he gave <a href="http://extremetrix.com/buying-something-online/" target="_self">Tips for Staying Safe when Buying Online</a>. So, today after such a long time I managed to come online and was free enough so giving you tips to be safe on Internet! So here we go!</p><ul><li>Never give your full name, address, or phone number to person claiming you have won a lottery, don&#8217;t ever reply to such emails they are all fraud. You cannot win anything for free so use your brain and dont reply to such emails, they are just a part of online scam.</li><li>Use genuine software, a Windows-cracked version of software are themselves a kind of virus so don&#8217;t use cracked software. Go for genuine, stop piracy!</li><li>Install a good anti virus, firewall and anti-spyware so that your computer is protected from most common virus and Trojans. You can use All in one protection software which provide all these stuff. Example of such software is Kaspersky total protection or Bitdefender total protection. You can also download Site Advisor like small apps, which are free and would work well for sure in helping you to check-know if a link is safe to visit or not?</li><li>Also keep your anti virus, other software and Windows updated as new viruses and threats are surfacing every day and these updates provide essential protection against these threats.</li><li>Change your account password regularly, keep changing your password every month and so.</li><li>Try not to use social services such as Facebook and Twitter and your email accounts in cybercafes, though most of you do this. So, if you even do never intentionally or by-mistake do &#8216;Remember me&#8217; while providing password and after loging out/moving from cyber don&#8217;t forget to delete cookies and history from your browser (as hackers can even hack your account via cookie stealing)</li><li>Most of the computers in cybercafe are infected with viruses and other malwares, so avoid using your accounts on those computers.</li><li>Don&#8217;t enter your account details in front of anyone else they might see your password.</li><li>Last, but not the least always use your brain before doing anything and try to remain<br /> updated about various new threats and malwares by reading online journals and magazines.</li></ul><p>Just by following these simple rules and advices, you can remain safe on internet and do you what you want! <img src='http://google.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /></p><p>[Tips by <em>Roger Rae</em>, who managed the online marketing for Fortepromo <a href="http://www.fortepromo.com/" target="_self">Promotional products</a>, a Minnesota-based promotional<a href="http://www.fortepromo.com/Promotional_Stress_Balls_s/182.htm" target="_self"> stress balls</a> company, for over three years.]</p><p style="text-align: center;">&lt;<a href="http://blog.beliefnet.com/" target="_blank">Image Credit</a>&gt;</p><p><a href="http://yahoo.com/how-to-be-100-safe-on-internet/">How to be 100% safe on Internet?</a> is a post from: <a href="http://yahoo.com">Extreme Trix</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://yahoo.com/how-to-be-100-safe-on-internet/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>13</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>[How] Create cool images by &#8216;Falling Sand&#8217; game.</title><link>http://yahoo.com/how-create-cool-images-by-falling-sand-game/</link> <comments>http://yahoo.com/how-create-cool-images-by-falling-sand-game/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Jun 2010 07:18:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Ankit Puri</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Applications]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hacks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tutorials]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Web]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://extremetrix.com/?p=3383</guid> <description><![CDATA[In last post we talked about three-free Web applications that won&#8217;t let anyone get bore and Falling Sand is one and best of them.

Now the most important gadget in my life without which I can&#8217;t even live is my mobile &#8211; Sony Ericsson w910i. I was recently Playing with it during my trip to India recently. To escape my boredom and for a kind of Distraction or &#8220;Support&#8221;, depending on what you call.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/sony_ericsson_w910i.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2641 aligncenter" title="Sony Ericsson w910i" src="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/sony_ericsson_w910i-300x263.jpg" alt="Sony Ericsson w910i" width="300" height="263" /></a></p><p>Someone having advanced knowledge on mobile phones, not meaning technically, but about the model releases, etc. Must be knowing that a Sony Ericsson W910i/W595/W760 and maybe some more phones cannot use the Front Camera even though it is present, for making a Video or Taking a picture when there is no Video Call currently going on! So anyone as such must be Sony Ericsson have kept it disabled as not to be used when there is no video call going. I wonder what is the reason behind it, but it is not available.</p><p>When I was simply playing around the phone menu&#8217;s, I came across a set of Sub Menu that I never came across. Let me inform you that, I don&#8217;t use the Video Calling feature in my phone. So these set of menus were in the video call menu. In such a way that even a Video Calling user most probably might not have noticed as well.</p><p>So after some thinking I discovered that the Front Camera of W910i and other similar phones CAN take a Video Recording of around 30 seconds. There are some Cons in it. But anyway I say my phone can record video using its Front Camera when there is no Current Video Call going on even though SE says it as &#8220;Impossible&#8221;.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>So here is what I did </em></p><ul><li>Go to &#8220;Contacts&#8221;</li><li>Pick Any Contact and press &#8220;Options&#8221;</li><li>Press &#8220;Make Video Call&#8221;</li><li>On the &#8220;Video Call failed&#8221; dialog box, press &#8220;send Video msg&#8221;</li><li>Behold ! now you can see yourself using the Front Camera</li><li>Press the &#8220;record&#8221; button and record&#8230;&#8230;</li><li>After the Video has been recorded, save it and you will notice an MMS dialog box</li><li>Close the MMS dialog box and &#8220;Save&#8221; it</li><li>Now you can see the Video you recorded on your Memory Card or Phone Memory depending on your Basic Camera Settings (i.e. rear camera)</li></ul><p><span>Enjoy!  <strong>Sony Ericsson  It is possible <img src='http://google.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> No bounds, No Limitations </strong> <img src='http://google.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;">PS: Make sure 3G is Switched OFF to &#8220;encounter&#8221; the Video Call Failed.</p><p>[This is a guest post by Shumayal who blogs at <a href="http://www.shumayal.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Miscellaneous</a>.

Therefore, the importance of having a great website cannot be ignored.<span id="more-2020"></span> Part of having a great website is the impression that your potential customers get from visiting the site.This can assist in influencing them in online campaigns and can determine your success and the amount of revenue your website generates.</p><p>What your visitors think about you and your business depends on your website. This article will help you in determining what your website reveals about you and your business to your customers.<a href="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/business.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2021" title="Business Partners" src="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/business-300x226.jpg" alt="Business Partners" width="300" height="226" /></a><strong>Color-Scheme</strong>: &#8211; Believe it or not, your website&#8217;s background colors can tell your customers a lot about your attitude. According to a study on color schemes: Red means you are confident and know what your customers want, Blue is the color of trust which means you care a lot about your customers, Yellow is the Color of warmth and happiness which means you are reliable, Green means you are fun loving person, but this color is mainly used on websites that are owned by environmentally friendly organizations and lastly, White means you are always open to new ideas.</p><p><strong>Absence of Testimonials</strong>: &#8211; If your websites don&#8217;t contain any testimonials from your previous clients then it gives signals that you are not reliable enough or that old clients were not happy with your service or that you are very new to business. More testimonials you will add to your website and thus allow more people to contact you or want to work for you.</p><p><strong>Adding Lots of Content</strong>: &#8211; If your website contains a lot of content, which is of no use for your visitors, then it means that you don&#8217;t know how to express yourself. Adding a lot of useless content also implies that you can&#8217;t differentiate between important and not so important things for your visitors.</p><p><strong>Excessive use of &#8220;I&#8221; and &#8220;We&#8221;</strong>: &#8211; If you are using words like &#8220;I&#8221; and &#8220;we&#8221; too many times in your sales copy, then it means that you only want to tell your visitors about yourself or your products and are not interested in what they need and how they can solve their problems. Customers are not interested in knowing how great your products are, they just want to know how those products can solve their problems.</p><p><em>Tip</em>: <a href="http://extremetrix.com/what-is-affiliate-marketing-and-how-to-start-with-it/" target="_self">How to start an affiliate marketing</a>.</p><p><strong>Non-User-Friendly</strong>: &#8211; A website, which is not easy to use or requires a user to install some software to run it properly gives the impression that you gave priority to your convenience and don&#8217;t care about your customers and visitors to your website. You are assuming that the individuals who come to your website already have the required software installed on their browsers.</p><p><strong>Poor Layout</strong>: &#8211; Poor layout or navigational structure makes the process difficult for your users when searching for information. This can show your customers and visitors that you don&#8217;t know how to organize things correctly and can make your business appear poor to others.</p><p><strong>Broken Links</strong>: &#8211; When a user clicks on link and lands on an Error 404 page or sees a &#8220;page does not exist message&#8221;, then it shows that you are careless in your work and can make you seem too busy with your current business and not available to handle new clients.</p><p>Incomplete Contact Information: &#8211; Incomplete contact information on your website says that you don&#8217;t want people to contact you or you are trying to hide something and not a trustworthy business.

According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing" target="_blank">Wiki Pidea</a> &#8211; Affiliate Marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate&#8217;s marketing efforts. It is an application of crowd sourcing. In simple language it is the commission paid <span>by the product</span> company which you promote.</p><div id="attachment_1711" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 305px"><a href="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/affiliates-last-minute-car-hire.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1711" title="Affiliate Marketing" src="http://extremetrix.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/affiliates-last-minute-car-hire.jpg" alt="Affiliate Marketing" width="295" height="191" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Affiliate Marketing</p></div><p>Here are a few tips for starting Affiliate Marketing -</p><ul><li><strong>Select products based on your niche </strong>- Always select a product based on your niche, means select products based upon the topic you blog on. For e.g, if you are blogging on &#8220;Blogging&#8221; niche, then you should try to sell premium themes (like <a href="http://diythemes.com/thesis/?a_aid=extremetrix&amp;amp;a_bid=3df7afc8" target="_blank">thesis</a>) or hosting services like <a title="Best &amp; cheapest web-hosting!" href="../../go/hostgator/" target="_blank">Host Gator</a>.</li><li><strong>Come up with your own ideas</strong> &#8211; It is always best to come up with your own ideas for promoting your product. Experiment with different banners, text links, or reviews. Keep these that bring good results, and change the others. Sometimes only change of few words or color of link can mean difference.</li><li><strong>Write a review of the product</strong> &#8211; Write a small review of the product you want to promote, letting the people know how good the product is. (Like our editor posted a small review about the HostGator web hosting service. If you want you can check <a href="http://extremetrix.com/looking-for-a-webhost-or-dedicated-server/" target="_self">this &#8211; post</a>.)</li><li><strong>Join popular marketing forums </strong> &#8211; join some popular online marketing forums and make frequent contributions to the popular threads there.
