How to Change the Storage location of "My Documents"


I just found out about this today, and I use Windows XP for some time now, 
so i guess there are others out there who don't know about this yet.

But normally windows saves the "My Documents" folder on your C-drive. 
But when you right-click on it and go to properties, 
you can change the location where you want windows to save your Documents folder.

I have a partition set up with just windows on it, 
and all my things i want to keep are on different partitions/disks. 
So now I put My Documents on another partition than where I have windows installed. 
If windows screws up and you have to format your C-drive again, 
your documents will be spared at least...

Facebook Phone Concept Photo Leaked Online - Features 4.2″ Display, 8 MP Camera

Facebook Phone Concept Leaked
There is a few photos circulating over the web showing the concept or prototype unit of the alleged Facebook phone. The news about the this devices started a couple of years back and it was then that Mark Zuckerberg’s company teamed up with HTC to build a smartphone that will become the next big thing in the Android world. However, there have been so many codenames revealed but nothing has become a reality. But just a few days back, the photo prototype emerged showing a neatly tailored, HTC-inspired phone bearing Facebook’s login page on load.

Facebook teamed up with HTC to build a smartphone that will become the next big thing in the Android world. This model is desined by Michal Bonikowski, an outside designer. Bonikowski believes the Facebook phone will come with 4.2 inches display, an 8-megapixel primary camera and 5MP rear-facing, a Facebook-labeled docking station. Lots of people talked about this in last two days in forums and blogs. Still no confirmation from Facebook or HTC. stay tuned for updates. :)

There have also been a lot of rumors regarding Facebook’s desperate ways to build up the hype of its upcoming device. Among those are the information we received that Zuckerberg’s company allegedly hired an ex-Apple employee who is helping in designing the phone. But basically, no information was released by Facebook yet. Thus, this leaves us wondering where the photos came from. The answer to that is Michal Bonikowski, an outside designer.

Facebook Phone Concept Leaked

Actually, the photo that’s been roaming around the web is his rendition of what he believes the appearance of the actual phone. Therefore, what you might be seeing right now is a fruit of his imagination and nothing more. In other words, it is simply his mock-up of the still unknown phone. Let’s try to go over the speculated specs to see how a designer sees it in some ways.

Bonikowski believes the Facebook phone will come with 4.2 inches display, an 8-megapixel primary camera and 5MP rear-facing, a Facebook-labeled docking station. This is not the first time we see concept photos of the rumored Facebook phone as HTC shared to the public its proposed designs. Many didn’t like how HTC presented it on paper so bad feedback could have turned it down. In fairness to the artistic abilities of Bonikowski, his rendition looks way better than HTC’s. The phone really looks cooler to the eyes being minimalist. The color choice is just appropriate and the docking station is just perfect.

I would like to reiterate that the photo you are seeing in this post is a personal rendition of an artist who don’t even work for either HTC or Facebook. However, if this is the kind of phone that the company would spend its money for, then many people especially Facebook bums would surely appreciate having to use such cool device with cool designs. Of course, you have to include the main purpose–being able to update status on FB.

Anyway, there are no further information about the rumored Facebook phone whom others refer to as “Buffy.” The price couldn’t be determined yet because fairly enough, there is no information as to the manufacturing of the device. No release date has also been given because there is a possibility that both Facebook and HTC are actually on the process of putting their suggestions together to be able to come up with a perfect idea on what to produce. Stay tuned as we will bring you the latest information about Facebook phone as long as hear something.

Reasons Why Google Banned Large Number of Pakistani Adsense Accounts


Google AdSense is one of the most popular source of income on Internet and inspiration of most of bloggers. Google's this hit product made many blogger millionaires in few years and many people relay on Google AdSense world wide including Pakistanis. Most of Pakistani publishers are either frustrated or are feared because Google has banned a large number of Pakistani AdSense accounts. Google not only banned newbies but also banned aged and company accounts such as a (popular news paper) Daily Times account also got disabled.

Google was already hardly accepting new applications from Pakistan and Google's this move has discouraged a large of Pakistani bloggers. Many tech gurus say one must file an appeal if their accounts are disabled however negligible percentage of banned accounts are re-instated. Here are few reasons why Google disabled large numbers of Pakistani accounts.

Yeah its frustration when Google disables your account but there is always a reason if you are effected because when you earn money, Google also makes money, so possibly there are few reasons why they ban their money machines.

Spam Sites

Google hates spam sites and dont want to see their ads on them. This doesn't matter if your blog is having a good template and good traffic. All that matters is "contents" and they must be unique, Else Google wouldn't accept your account any longer. Spam sites incluse feed aggregators, sms sites etc

Made-for-AdSense

This is yet another most common reason why AdSense account is banned. People only make sites and blogs to earn money via AdSense and when AdSense manually check the website, they Hit the "Disable" button. Made-for-AdSense websites might have unique contents but their primary goal is only to make money out of that website.

Less Sales and Higher Cost

No company would love to have lower profits and higher cost of running their business. This is yet another reason because most of the advertisers does not select Pakistan in their advertising campaigns and those who choose Pakistan too, do not have good sales. This results less profits and/or higher cost of running.

Google Panda Updates

This time, possibly most of Pakistani accounts are banned because of a minor but "serious" panda update. Google possibly caught a large number of websites having copied contents and their software disabled mass AdSense accounts.

Other Policy Violations

Most of publishers do not care for TOS of Google AdSense and definitely no-company will need such workers. Those publishers make serious violations and their accounts are banned. Having adult contents, uninteresting contents, hate-speeches etc are top reasons why Google bans AdSense accounts.

Does outsource staffing really works?

With the rapid advancement of technology it has become almost impossible for one person to have knowledge of everything. We’ll be specially focusing on web development and web programming here. Even before couple of years the situation was completely different as most of the websites were being built using any of the popular scripting languages (like .NET, ASP or PHP) in a customized way. But these days with the advancement of technologies there are so many open source and free PHP based projects are available, that people are tending to build their web applications customizing these open source projects.

To work with these open source projects one developer must have profound knowledge of PHP, Object Oriented Programming, CSS and JavaScript. Along with these technical knowledge there has to be sound debugging capability.

Off course it is not possible for a single developer to have all the above mentioned technical skills, and thus to complete a project successfully it has to be a group of developers working together with their individual technical skills. There comes the benefit of outsourcing your project to a company, who has got qualified programmers. PHP is becoming very much popular with its new features and versions. Most of the web projects are done on PHP. So if you are planning to have a project in custom PHP or in open source like Joomla, WordPress, osCommerce and etc. It is the best dicision to hire a PHP developer from a well known company, so that you can get the help of other required resources from the same company without employing a bunch of developers. This lower down the development cost heavily. Moreover in countries like India and China, PHP programmers cost much less compared to European Countries or the States. So if you are from Europe or the States then it is a good idea to look for a company in India to hire PHP programmers, because India has got very talented programmers and well profiled IT companies.

Finally before hiring a PHP developer from a company, judge the company by talking to some of the existing clients of the company. Portfolio always may not work, even it is really hard to be sure that the project displayed on portfolio was actually built by the company. May be the company initially built the project and after that another company made betterment to the project. So it is wiser to talk to the developer, judge the developer and talking to their existing clients before hiring developer(s) from them.

Iphone A Dream Phone For People

All Iphones

Note:This is a Guest Post from our new honourable member Subro.
As is known to all, iPhone has become an important tool in our daily life.In addition to communicating with friends, we also listen to music, watch movies and surf the internet etc. with it. Most of time, we’d like to use iPhone to watch all kinds of movies to amuse and relax ourselves. It is so cool and portable that we could show it anywhere and anytime we like.

Due to the huge success of Apple’s iPhone and its rapid spread amongst the users inspired lots of companies to jump into iPhone Application Development. Beside the device Apple has also provided the magnificent development tool xCode, which is an add-on benefit to the developer. Many people around the world are building different type of apps with different usability.
While programming a iPhone app It is easy to generate the idea behind the app, but it is not so easy to convert the idea into an app which is simple to use yet have cool features and user interface.

While developing a iPhone application, the very first step after finalizing the idea is to draw the screens and flow on white papers. This practice reduces UI redesigning or flow changing heavily. Drawing all the screens with complete detail like how the tabbar will be placed, what will be tabs, how the navigation will be displayed, how the table view will be laid up, where and how the buttons will be placed and etc. It is even better to use a pencil while drawing up the screens, as any amendment or modification can be done easily by erasing certain portions. Do not draw the screens tiny, instead draw larger screens so that every part is properly visible. Being a good iPhone Developer you must follow basic rule.

The scope of this article is limited to strategy only, so we’ll not talk much about the iPhone programming, but while programming, maintain proper naming convention for your variables and methods. Use proper indentation. Don’t use extra lines or spaces. All these make a code more readable.
Finally when you are packaging your application make sure that the Version Number, App Identifier, Product Name, App Display Name, Required Icons everything has been setup properly. Then build it and give it a test drive on your actual device!
