Multiple Logins With Yahoo Messenger
How many yahoo account do you have? Or How many friends do you have? How many contacts on your yahoo messenger?
You love to express yourself personally or professonally and that why you use two yahoo ID ? Right? Or you have some problem on your old yahoo ID?
But, till now you want to use your old YAHOO ID and new YAHOO ID from one PC. Normally, Yahoo Messenger didn’t support it. You can login with multiple id’s on the same Yahoo! messenger without any download or patch.
Here, Short Instruction for you to use multi yahoo messenger.
Follow these steps:-
1. Go to Start —- Run . Type regedit, then enter .
2.Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER ——– Software — Yahoo! —–pager—-Test
3.On the right pane , right-click and choose new Dword value .
4.Rename it as Plural.
5.Double click and assign a decimal value of 1.
That’s it.
Now close registry and restart Yahoo! Messenger.
Folder Options Missing
Many of us sometimes find the folder options missing in windows explorer.
Here's the solution-->
Open Run and then type "gpedit.msc".
Now goto User Configuration > Administrative templates > Windows Component > Windows Explorer.
Click on Windows Explorer you will find the 3rd option on the right side of screen "Removes the Folder Option menu item from the Tools menu"
Just check it, if it is not configured then change it to enable by double clicking on it and after applying again set it to not configured.
How to Measure Anything
How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business, Second Edition by Douglas W. Hubbard Wiley | 2010 | ISBN: 0470539399 | 320 pages | PDF | 14 MB
Anything can be measured. This bold assertion is the key to solving many problems in business and life in general. The myth that certain things can't be measured is a significant drain on our nation's economy, public welfare, the environment, and even national security. In fact, the chances are good that some part of your life or your professional responsibilities is greatly harmed by a lack of measurement—by you, your firm, or even your government.
Building up from simple concepts to illustrate the hands-on yet intuitively easy application of advanced statistical techniques, How to Measure Anything, Second Edition reveals the power of measurement in our understanding of business and the world at large. This insightful and engaging book shows you how to measure those things in your business that, until now, you may have considered "immeasurable," including technology ROI, organizational flexibility, customer satis-faction, and technology risk. Offering examples that will get you to attempt measurements—even when it seems impossible—this book provides you with the substantive steps for measuring anything, especially uncertainty and risk.

UEFI to Replace PC BIOS by 2011
Bios' replacement, known as UEFI, will predominate in new PCs by 2011.
The upgrade will spell the end for the 25-year-old PC start-up software known as Bios that initialises a machine so its operating system can get going.
The code was not intended to live nearly this long, and adapting it to modern PCs is one reason they take as long as they do to warm up.
Bios' replacement, known as UEFI, will predominate in new PCs by 2011.
The acronym stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface and is designed to be more flexible than its venerable predecessor.
"Conventional Bios is up there with some of the physical pieces of the chip set that have been kicking around the PC since 1979," said Mark Doran, head of the UEFI Forum, which is overseeing development of the technology.
Mr Doran said the creators of the original Bios only expected it to have a lifetime of about 250,000 machines - a figure that has long been surpassed.
"They are as amazed as anyone else that now it is still alive and well in a lot of systems," he said. "It was never really designed to be extensible over time."
AMI is a firm that develops Bios software. Brian Richardson, of AMI's technical marketing team, said the age of the Bios was starting to hamper development as 64-bit computing became more common and machines mutated beyond basic desktops and laptops.
"Drive size limits that were inherent to the original PC design - two terabytes - are going to become an issue pretty soon for those that use their PC a lot for pictures and video," he said.
Similarly, he said, as tablet computers and other smaller devices become more popular, having to get them working with a PC control system was going to cause problems.
The problem emerges, he said, because Bios expects the machine it is getting going to have the same basic internal set-up as the first PCs.
As a result, adding extra peripherals - such as keyboards that connect via USB rather than the AT or PS/2 ports of yesteryear - has been technically far from straightforward.
Similarly, the Bios forces USB drives to be identified to a PC as either a hard drive or a floppy drive.
The Bios tells the computer what input and output devices are installed
This, said Mr Richardson, could cause problems when those thumb drives are used to get a system working while installing or re-installing an operating system.
UEFI frees any computer from being based around the blueprint and specifications of the original PCs. For instance, it does not specify that a keyboard will only connect via a specific port.
"All it says is that somewhere in the machine there's a device that can produce keyboard-type information," said Mr Doran.
Under UEFI, it will be much easier for that input to come a soft keyboard, gestures on a touchscreen or any future input device.
"The extensible part of the name is important because we are going to have to live with this for a long time," said Mr Doran.
He added that UEFI started life as an Intel-only specification known as EFI. It morphed into a general standard when the need to replace Bios industry-wide became more widely recognised.
Alternatives to UEFI, such as Open Firmware and Coreboot, do exist and are typically used on computers that do not run chips based on Intel's x86 architecture.
UEFI is proving a boon to those managing lots of computers in data centres
The first to see the benefits of swapping old-fashioned Bios for UEFI have been system administrators who have to oversee hundreds or thousands of PCs in data centres or in offices around the world.
Before now, said Mr Doran, getting those machines working has been "pretty painful" because of the limited capabilities of Bios.
By contrast, he said, UEFI has much better support for basic net protocols - which should mean that remote management is easier from the "bare metal" upwards.
For consumers, said Mr Doran, the biggest obvious benefit of a machine running UEFI will be the speed with which it starts up.
"At the moment it can be 25-30 seconds of boot time before you see the first bit of OS sign-on," he said. "With UEFI we're getting it under a handful of seconds."
"In terms of boot speed, we're not at instant-on yet but it is already a lot better than conventional Bios can manage," he said "and we're getting closer to that every day."
Some PC and laptop makers are already using UEFI as are many firms that make embedded computers. More, said Mr Richardson, will result as motherboard makers complete the shift to using it.
He said that 2011 would be the year that sales of UEFI machines start to dominate.
"I would say we are at the edge of the tipping point right now," he said.

Is this world's tallest toddler?
Weighing in at a burly 7 stone and standing 4ft 5in tall, two-and-a-half-year-old Karan Singh is believed to be the tallest toddler in the world.
Almost the same height as his 10-year-old neighbours in Meerut, India, Karan is twice the size of children his own age - and his giant mum believes this is just the start.
Dwarfing her husband, 7ft 2in Shweatlana Singh is Asia's tallest woman, and the proud mum is praying her baby outgrows her.
